No argument casey...it's a question of degree....


mbcasey: I don't understand the question or premise of high maintenance.

If I am in love with a woman who needs emotional support, I am there for her. If she needs monetary things to help make her life better, I would give it to her. I don't call these things maintenance...I call it caring, compassionate and understanding.

I think it's what people mean when they use the word "needy".....

What is wrong with needy? Maybe it is me but I believe we are put here to help each other. If you are in love with someone, needy becomes a spouses responsibility.

There are all kinds of people in the world and we are so complex. One person's needs are another person's necessities. There are strong people and weak people. I guess I am against the Darwin principle of strongest survives when it comes to mankind (above the genetic sense)handshake

Very noble sentiments indeed. But the theme of the thread was "high-maintenance", which by definition means "higher-than-normal". I think that all of us would agree with your position on supporting a partner with needs, but I think what we are talking about here are EXCESSIVE needs...and unrealistic expectations, manipulation and so forth.....ask Portia...it's her thread....

Just my opinion....I think... maybe... mbcasey is the only one that seems to be in a positive mind frame...he sees the glass as half full, instead of being pessimistic...
professor Negativity breeds negativity...conversing

Lagoona22: Well, moving rock is going to get you.......brownie points and fit....but it still doesn't tell us if u are high-maintenance or not...if you are constantly playing emotional games with your BF, to manipulate statements of devotion out of him, or giving him a hard time when you don't get your way.....or withdrawing, pouting, being uncommunicative and making his life difficult because you have PMS.....then you're moving up the H-M scale.....
Sounds like you have some experience with this.....have you learned to screen them out early on now?
