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.
You stopped being the person she thought you were, or wanted you to be, or thought you could or would be.
She decided she doesn't want to be with you anymore because you are not the same person you were when you met, back in the beginning when everything was lovely and new.
Why because I didn't answer you the instant you asked me, you will just assume your own answer. Case in point. Bring more aggravation into the situation.
Yes exactly and I take full responsibility for the complete misunderstanding. I should have clarified and clarified again. I was completely embarassed because I have a son here who was 16 at the time. There WAS an extra room for him but it was extremely uncomfortble for me.
This is yet ANOTHER REASON why I have specified within 50 miles of where I live. Again my fault for allowing it to happen. I got carried away in the moments of IM's and phone calls. Duped myself into believing somethign was there when it was not. GRRRRR
Hi wikkid, The word "obligation" sends shudders to me.
I have a few examples and questions for anyone from past experiences.
How about when you email, IM, talk on the phone and it all seems very cool, SEEMS TO BE a spark? Then the guy rides his motorcycle two hours to meet you and he has not made prior arrangements as to where he will stay??? The night grows cold and you feel OBLIGATED to allow him to stay in your house. I felt no danger at all or I would not have allowed it, but being put in that position was annoying. AND embarassing to find out he went outside in my back yard early in the morning in his BOXERS to have a SMOKE? Honestly, I was shocked, can't put your pants on to have that cigar? I cooked two meals for him, Easter dinner and huge breakfast the next day.
and what do you supposed happened? AGAIN IT WAS TOO DAMN COLD FOR HIM TO RIDE HIS BIKE HOME for two hours and again I was OBLIGATED to put him up. When he finally did ride home do you think he left me even a pinch of his pot? Nope......... ! Did we go out for one beer, meal or anything except a "ride" in the cold on that bike? Nope....... !
Two words I hate, obligation and committment!
A question, what happens when you email and IM for several days and things seem once again very cool. Then you talk on the phone and he tells you he has emphazema? I am so agains smoking cigs that I was again shocked and now I am having serious second thoughts about meeting. Questions is: Hoe do you tell that person that it is over before it began?
Disclaimer: Let me just say, I did and do still like these guys as people. They are just not the ones for me.
There are a few other instances but you get the idea.
Depends on the day, that cherry pie filling sounds delicious right now. I may have to settle for an orange though. Chocolate is a big weakness and earlier I ate almost a whole bag of saltwater taffey and two chocolate covered pretzels. Not to mention the Lo Mein earlier with the one cookie !
Didn't mean for the thread to be so sad either. Thank you all for identifying with me.
The worst first date is to hear someone badmouth and put down his ex. How many times have I been on a coffee date and that happened? I'm sorry to say, a few times. It is most unattractive, and the first date is the last one.
