Hello, California Girl--

I see you've changed your Medium name from Shark11Girl. Perhaps that's part of the appeal here on Medium--being able to change names when we see fit. But since I haven't changed my name, I'm delighted to see that you were still willing to read this piece of mine. In response to a previous piece of mine, you seemed to have such a negative perception of me that I would never have guessed you'd be willing to read another piece by me. That really speaks to your open-mindedness--very cool!

As I recall, you indicated that I lacked self-reliance and that I was incredibly clingy. Now my favorite comment that you wrote was that you thought that men who meet me are "going to be terrified by me immediately". Whew! I've repeated that comment to people and got some laughs about it, so thank you for providing so much entertainment! Anyway, I think it's cool that you were willing to read another piece by me despite your seemingly negative perception of me. Ok...on to your current comment. Well...I see the first two sentences of your comment have question marks at the end, but the sentences aren't quite worded as questions, so...I'll put your sentences into question form to make sure I'm answering what you're asking. I think your first question is: "Do you think that men's wives should have any input into their lives?" My answer: "Yes". I think the next question is meant to be, "Do you have any sympathy for the woman who was tired of her husband being away and wanted him back after a month?" My answer: "Yes". Ok...Good to see you again, California Woman! --Lee
