i like to play the devils advocate....having said that my son and i stuck it out in shitty relationship for 9 years even though his mom had severe mental difficulties after some tragic shit early in our relationship...it was the popo that took her away...i always held hope that she would get better but she did not the reason i stuck it out was because i am a good man and believe in commitment...i wanted my son to have a mom common law can be as little as 6 months in canada and considered a legal marriage after 2 years with full benefits both ways etc there have been many good points made for both sides of this coin..but this thread would have fizzled out the first night if people[and me] hadnt gotten a little flared up i have no idea what would have happened if i had jumped ship at the first sign of trouble...i needed to be able to tell myself that i did everything possible to salvage my relationship i could never look myself in the mirror if i had not
That's interesting but absurd. If your portrayals of both genders were accurate, how could women have their "getting a good provider" instinct ever satisfied? To all men, if u feel that u sacrifice your life so that your horrible shrew can satisfy her instincts, please leave her :2thumbsup:
i certainly did not. 19-20 were the best years of my life (so far at least) and i knew it at the time.
is it true that if a guy asks you out on a date then its safe to say he wants to f*ck you? like you guys were friends before...then he started liking you which led to him asking you out?
Shrew, that's an awesome word. And we (men) aren't that hard to please. In light of that I feel like I've become a product of the women I've dated, and it's not the same person I was instinctually. Women aren't that hard to please either. I think somewhere along the line we all forgot the give and take that comes with a male/female relationship. Or maybe we weren't taught it.
well yeah. that's not really accurate. he started liking you which led to you guys becoming friends, and then he finally worked up the courage to ask you out.
so, he liked me before we became friends. he just didn't show it .is that possible ?..he was my classmate and idk I just got familiar w/ him over time..one thing tho he used to tease me allll the time. and just outta nowhere infront of a group of friends he asked me out...I mean I gradually started liking him...is it like that with guys or do they just like what they see automatically?

Way to go for being strong !!! Not to burst any bubbles, but if you've been tempted this close at one point in your life, it'll probably come true someday. Much of it does have to do with the phase of life, and uniqueness of each of our situations. For instance, being 15 years into life with a subpar partner versus 10 years later still facing the same things and worse, give a whole new perspective to what life is about. Anyone who thinks they can judge that from afar can fuck themselves.
Completely agree - since when and you don't think women want to sleep around too, I know many women that have wanted to but don't because it isn't worth it. It isn't worth losing someone you love and your child. Because mess around with someone else and that is what will happen. I have been married for 10 years - been together for 20. We don't have full sex right now for personal reasons of my husbands, and I do get very Horney and frustrated a lot but I love my husband too bits and would never cheat on him as it would break his heart. I have been tempted in the past, almost let feeling horny speak for me - women too think with their bits sometimes. I do get tired of hearing that only men think with their equipment, so do women at times. Talk to your girlfriend - do not mention the other women as that will just hurt her. Also do you still love your girlfriend? I'm asking because after a while the falling in love thing turns into something else - something deeper and the intense I want to have sex with you all the time and kiss your face off is softened. I still want to have sex with my husband but of course it is different than when we first met. If you don’t love your girlfriend then maybe you could simply live together as friends. I know this works for some people. But only with both people feel the same way
LOL not quite - just the few after where I finished reading - there was a few I didnt notice at the end
