i think i'ma break up with the boyfriend

Okay I see that you did.

Good for you!

 

If he's in love after only a week and telling you not to hurt him....that would be a dealbreaker for me. I had a bf in high school tell me he loved me after only a week, I dumped his ass quick.

He's on his 3rd marriage so far...apparently he loves everybody he dates.

 

i know that when it comes to most things it is better not to take my advice... but this i am all to familiar with.

yes we all know that nobody is perfect and you gotta put that in perspective. cuz after all no matter who you get with you will get annoyed with them eventually. but if you feel trapped and there are certain things you just cant ignore then listen to your instinct. because i see so many females that stay with their men because they think they can "change" them. but you really cant. if you are already annoyed with him it might not get any better.

to other people a lot of my reasons for breaking up with my last boyfriend were pretty outrageous but i am happy with my descision and we both moved on. i dont know exactly what it is i want in a man. but i know what i DONT want. if that makes sense.

 

my mother and father were together for like two months before my dad asked her to marry him...they have had their trials and tribulations...but they love each other and they've been married for 30 years...i love them both very much...my father the eccentric teacher and my mom the crazy lovable nutjob...plus they produced three amazing/crazy children...what can i say....hehehe...it can and does work...more often than you think...

 

Sounds cool.

.

 

i've dealt with that a fair amount of times
i run screaming

jerry, thats so lovely about your parents

 

:slap:

 

i hate this shit..

my fight or flight is going off like crazy.. telling me to run. i don't wanna be anywhere though.

 

I'm not going to offer you any advice because I'm still broken hearted. But I will tell you this: Some women cannot handle real nice guys. They either interpret a nice guy as

a. Weak, and therefore not able to help himself; or,

b. Stifling her independence and interfering with her decision-making.

Someone I cared very, very much about pulled the latter on me. But I'm not going to change just because a small demographic doesn't like me for me. People don't come from Armani. You can't get them tailored, ya gotta take em off the rack. If you like the guy, stick around a while. Being diametrically opposed to some of the things he does doesn't make him a bad person.

I suck at not giving advice...

 

he is a nice man.. thats not a con on his part..i'd like to still be his friend.. but i doubt it'll happen. it's all the other things that i just don't agree with, and it/they will make me nuts over time. i'm not going to put myself through it again.

 

Oh well, as long as you're available for dinner (I'm cookin!) when I roll through.

 

well, if all those little things bother you, its gonna be tough finding someone. yeah the love this early is kinda pushing it, but he asked you to wear shoes/sandals for one particular activity adn you hate his diet -and- his shoes -and- his body hear

myeah, just... yer a little picky. wahtever, not lik eyoure the first person on the planet to be picky about their partner, just make sure youre aware of it at least a lot of times, being single is better for the person... sometimes you just need to be without that extra person

 

I wouldn't say that her being vegetarian and wanting to date another vegetarian is all that picky... Some people feel very strongly about their reasons for choosing that lifestyle and they want to share their life with someone who understands and shares that belief.
To some people, it is a very big deal.

 

Jesus, don't even remind me.

I'm never dating a vegetarian again. They are the most intolerant people I know. Worse than 'publicans.

 

Haha, when I was a vegetarian for the three years I was, I only dated one guy who was also veggie. He kissed better than the rest of them, but I'm not so sure his diet had much to do with that. But the other 3 I dated in that time period all ate meat and they loved me because I was a super-cheap date. I do miss how cheaply I ate when I didn't eat meat.

 

Really? When I was a vegetarian, I spent more money.

But I don't quite remember 'cause I was young.

 

I mostly ate canned vegetables and potatoes when I was a veggie. The guy I dated for the largest portion of that time when I was a veggie would buy me curly fries and potato cakes at Arby's, or a bean burrito and fries at Taco Villa (it's a local chain, but they have freaking awesome cheeeeaaaap burritos). And the rest of the time we'd eat at the Waffle House for about $10 between the two of us, or a Thai place. I only ate veggie fried rice, so even at the fancy Japanese steakhouse we ventured to, it only cost $5, while every one else spent upwards of $50 a plate. Yipes.

 

y'all are weird..

 

I eat mostly fresh stuff, all veggie broth based. Occasionally something Indian or Thai, but rice is cheap, lentils are cheap, broccoli and mushrooms are cheap. I figure I save 40 bucks a week by not buying meat. And by not buying meat substitutes like Boca Burgers.

 

Well if you're already ticked off because of those things after only a few days, then how is it going to get any better later on?
