@ polar and Summer:

I'm really not sure exactly, I guess that's why I asked, but if I had to say it would be:

Not having trust in her
Only hearing instead of truly listening
not doing the "little things" that make her feel special.

Those are 3 I witnessed friends make and eventually ended the relationship.

In my case, it was taking her for granted.

I've said elsewhere in the forums, that *I* started the demise of our relationship, by thinking she would always be there, so I didn't have to touch her, hold her, or even talk to her as often as I should have.

(brings to mind an old Willie Nelson song, lol)

If you don't tell your partner (often) that you love her... that she's pretty... someone else will eventually come along and give her the adoration she is looking for (and needs) and you will end up alone.

That is probably the number 1 thing. I also did that once when I was younger, it cost me a great deal, I vowed never to do it again. In my case I put my career over everything else, after it all crashed down I saw what was most important was gone.

Uh huh, one would think that. drinking


I'm starting to think that maybe women just don't like what I have to say.laugh


Perhaps honesty isn't always the best policy, or being open and sharing one's thoughts and feelings. roll eyes

Yes men tend to become complacent especially when the woman is good at multi tasking they take it for granted and go about their life cruisin thinking all's well, after a while it starts to wear the woman down cause he just don't get it, he seems to think well I am the bread winner even though she works too, end of story. It takes two to make a relationship work. doh
