My ex still does this constantly. I will never understand it. But now I try to talk to him on how this affects his children when he does this. It goes in one ear and out the other. Sometimes he will apologize but within the next few days he repeats the cycle again. I sometimes wonder if it's because he really doesn't see it or if he really doesn't feel no pain...Don't know!

Everyone thinks they are the givers in a relationship. Rarely do you find someone who admits they are the taker.

I've read though that in every relationship, it is that way, one takes more than the other, the other gives more. It can't possibly be 50/50 equal. Couples need to find a balance that works for them.

I really don't want to be the giver or the taker in a relationship anymore.

At this point in my life I think I'd just like to simply coexist with someone. I think it would be great to find a partner who could just be happy coexisting. No expections or demands. Just too people sharing life without getting all finger-pointing pissy about.

HI I WOULD LIKE TO GET TO KNOW YOU

Sometimes I think I should just hang
a sign around my neck saying...
"Play Thing"
With small type under it saying...
"Discard after used"

Don't I understand this...

Mine says 'Kick to curb when finished playing'.

I agree with Abra. Well said. Everytime i get to the top of the hill i get kicked back down. It's getting tiring.

Great answer Plainsman I have this problem with my own family not to mention with some of the women I have been involved with. I happen to be a giver I think, at least I am always extending my goodwill seeking aproval and sad to say that more often than not I end up shaking my head in wonder as to how selfcentered and greedy some people can be.

Aaaaah, it's one thing to leave a relationship, but people shouldn't take souveniers. Sometimes I wonder both from my experience and watching others and hearing both sides if the person who leaves in a "not so nice" manner is projecting more of who they are and their own faults. Why go there...if it is over and you are no longer interested be adult about it. It all says volumes about who she is...not good.

think of the song "Keep Pushin'" On by Reo. I agree totally

take heart it happens to all of us...but dont let it bring u down... ...its like with me im tooo trusting and i give so much and i care tooo much ppl can c that and they take avantage off you..... when that happens i feel real let down..

People sometimes like to build up and tear down people for the feeling of control over others. It is really an effort on their part to feel better about themselves.

Hey, there guy. Ddid you by chance meet up with a few of my EX's.

Yes, I think it is because they are of not much stature in their heart about who they really are. Most people put on, I call that kind of person a fair weather friend, as long as the weather is comfortable they are there, when it gets bad, they run and tell things different then the way they really are, I say all we can do is just be original, Thx, Brad

I guess it makes them feel better about themselves , or it's just the thrill they get to see that what they do is hurting somebody

From my experience, she wasnt very happy at that time in her life so instead of looking at her faults she looked at mine, then decided to say negative stuff to me. When that happened i knew it was pretty well the end. Cant work through something that has lost all the love in the relationship on both ends. I think we all give and take. Sometimes we give a little too much and get burned, and vice versa. So maybe thats why we are all here, to create the right recipe to give and take with each other as much as needs and not too much when it needs.

Forget that girl, there are plenty of women out in the world. You can do way much better than her, you just have find that foxy lady, YEAH!

Sounds to me like there are alot of people on here that need the approval of others.
Learn to love your self and the world will fallow!
