I'm interested to see what everyone says about this one. My ex did the same thing once... then twice, then thrice... every time with the same "crazy" friend that "dragged" her along. I played the...

I gave up on the band thing myself. I just play and write solo. It's more enjoyable and free of all the band drama (which can sadly be worse than many romantic relationships).

Dude, musicians are a fickle and selfish breed (I'm one, but not bad anymore). I say let bygones be bygones, but don't do anything musically with him anymore. Shrug it off and start another band. ...

Thanks guys, I woke up today perfectly fine. Your responses were awesome. Last night, I think one thought led to another and I felt out of control.

Trying to sleep. Normal day. Nothing special. Bam... what the hell?
This literally came out of nowhere... What kept haunting me was this: Why did that one girl hurt me so deeply? Why the hell...

Now that you know it's not all you... do the right thing. Forget this guy.

I think girls reading twilight does more harm to a relationship than a strip club.

First of all, the guy sounds really shallow lady. You know what I'm attracted to? All sorts of stuff. You know what my favorite part of a woman is? Depends on the woman. etc. etc. etc...

You...

She just sounds selfish to me. I don't think she thinks you are a dog though. I guess there are three ways of handling this aside from breaking up. You could try talking to her, which won't work...

First of all... that sucks man. If I were to play psychiatrist, I would guess that while you were working hard to build a practical and stable future, she started itching to lighten the load and let...

Personally speaking (so take it for what it's worth), I would give a little bit of time, but not a lot. What if she continues this behavior for a year? Could you handle that? How long before you...

I can see where both of you are coming from. Pretty tough spot. You seem to be trying to ask her whether she would truly take a job that takes her away from you. I think you are looking for her to...

May be like brothers... maybe. It would be so much better for all relationships if people could admit to their partner that some of their opposite sex friends wish there was something more. I'm a...

I'll write something because I can relate to about 10% of the feelings you had. I say 10% because my friend, this level of desperation is dangerous. Everyone can relate to feeling a little insecure...

How long have you been deployed?
How long have you been dating?
How old are the two of you?
What exactly are you fighting about?

Brilliantly put starry night. The controlling male is often portrayed (Oxygen type) movies as a villain. The controlling female is often portrayed as intelligent and centered, while her buffoon...

Have I not recanted. This kind of defines... eh hem.

I can give you a prefect example. In my last relationship; I wasn't allowed to say "I'll make it up to you". In her mind; once the offense was committed (like being 5 minutes late), it just was. ...

"Let a man love you more than you love him - absolutely true - never give away everything in a relationship."

I'm going to have to say this one isn't fair. Plus it violates my rule to never let...

Is that so bad?

Cat (with a doberman),

Please stop drawing so many conclusions about me. I'm simply asking a general question. Obviously, with such a harmonious marriage; you see the world a bit...

I'll listen if I agree. For example: I needed to save more and spend less (which I do now).
However, it becomes quite burdensome to hear about how flawed I am all the time. I'm my own worst...

I think it's awfully bold of you to draw such concrete conclusions of my state of mind based upon a few words. You are telling me that I'm angry and then you proceed to patronize me by telling me to...

Thank you to everyone who responded. BTW, I don't chase mean girls. Only one has ever nitpicked me to death. I was just relaying my observations regarding a few of the relationships I have...

Anyway, I wasn't trying to have a debate. I just wanted some women list answers (aside from because men don't listen).

Well aside from being the richest man on earth, I suppose it will finalize my plans on remaining unmarried.

I meant henpeck... Really?? Nagging men?? I tried it as a defensive tactic a few times. Where I would nag instead to show someone how irritating it is. Of course that just gets turned around on me...

I've noticed that a lot of women seem to criticize the hell of out their partners. Why?? I know it's certainly fodder for SitComs, but in reality... why? I know "men don't listen" and other quasi...

4 months in and this much drama... I love how some of these posts say to not try to keep her home, but to go out and have more fun with her. You want my advice? If she won't compromise, then do...

To give you another point of view... When I started thinking of marriage with my last ex, I was direct about my intentions, however I started losing confidence in the reasons she would have married...

Well you're on top of things then. Congrats.

I re-read my old posts. I still think that book is complete nonsense. I was never attacking you. It's just funny how you have labeled this guy. Whatever gets you through the day I suppose. I...

Eh, not here to stay. Look at the current economic climate. Jobs aren't expected to come back for quite some time either. As larger countries (China and India) catch up to our "standard of living"...

While you certainly have my sympathies, that's not quite the point I'm making. I'm addressing the new age societal parasite of a belief that encourages people to seek some promised paradise of...

While you are correcting me, let's take it a step further shall we? Truth itself is relative. Seeing as how each individual's perception is unique to said individual, no two people see the same...

Exactly. Now for those of us who live in big cities, are attractive, make decent money, the options are plentiful. I was raised pretty traditionally though. Once you marry, that's it. Your spouse...

Feelings are fickle. Who didn't "hate" their parents at one time or another... nope, sorry. I'm becoming a hardliner. This is what's wrong with our society. Hands out, eyes closed. Pointing the...

I wish, seriously dude. Thanks for your astute observations, but you are missing my point entirely. I understand it's not all women and there is a good chance I know more people than you, so spare...

Oh yeah, two of those situations involve children. I blame it on all this "I have to be happy" crap.

OK, I'm convinced. Women in their twenties cannot be satisfied. I know of 3 situations all distinctly different except for one common denominator: woman not satisfied. One guy is good looking,...

Well, he's not enlisting he's trying to get a commission. In that case, yes he will go to OCS for 10 weeks then to TBS (The Basic School) for 6 months. He will still go to an MOS school after TBS....

Just read a lot about it OK? Talk to your family and friends. Go talk to the recruiter. I'm serious, don't be intimidated. (He has to be nice, I promise).

Having been in the Marines myself, I can tell you that it will certainly be difficult. Those long deployments have sent many otherwise faithful women into someone else's arms. How old are you two? ...

Yeah, my youngest sibling can't possibly relate. Whew, this has been quite the exercise. Personally speaking, I've chased dreams, worked hard in the real world and taken plenty of time off as well....

Absolutely.

Well that's the real catch isn't it. Everyone's viewpoint is relative to how they know a certain person. I have some friends that think I'm nice, some who think I'm mean. There are many opposing...

I personally think rejection is far less threatening than being taken advantage of. If I put myself out there and I am flat out rejected, I believe I have enough confidence to bounce back pretty...

Yeah, but many people are happy stealing. I'm a libertarian, so I am of the mind set that people should be able to live any way they want as long as it does not interfere with how someone else...

I know this is all wonderfully insane and I appreciate folks indulging me. Fortunately, I'm far too busy most of the time to focus on these things, but I still wonder. If I could see myself through...

My point here, is that our self identity is an illusion we construct based upon feelings and bias. Whatever you hold onto to ground your confidence, can be ripped out from under you. If you choose...
