Is this the end....or a new beginning?

Gag,
I ditto everything Gima said.

1) Women talk about relationships. Men talk about...stuff.

2) I have three long-time closest friends (one since kindergarden) we are like brothers. I take their opinions and advice very seriously into account, and with the love I know it is offered with.

When one of us says we need their take or input or advice on something important, we never feel pressured because we know the othersis not looking for the tie-breaking vote. Just their valued take on something.

Two weeks ago I was with one of these guys and asked his opinion about an issue re: Mediation I was struggling with. We talked at length and in detail. He gave me his opinion, Later in the week I went with a different option. He knows I did so and thinks absolutely nothing of it.

So, in my small band of brothers, we love, we commiserate, we offer solicited and unsolicited advice, we do not pressure or try to steer. I would think that is true of most man friends.
