Congrats. This will give you the space to fuck other women in peace while she’s fucking other dudes in peace. This, of course, will also lead to you guys breaking up.
@VampireSoldier if it’s the first date, you should split it. Always split on the first date. Let her know upfront that you’re splitting. I’ve learned my lesson from something like this. I spent nearly 150$ on a first date, never went out on a second one.
There’s still hope. Remember that dude in the relationship thread that incessantly chased his wife until they worked out their problems and are happily together again.
Now if the guy is the one initiating the date. Then he should be a gentleman and pay for the date IMO. And make it something light like, a 20-30 dollar dinner at AppleBee’s, walk through the park or something. That’s about it. Only pay for what you decided to do. Anything more than that like her talking about she wants to buy some designer jeans or some shit has to be earned on her part. Same way we have to earn our way into a woman’s pants. they have to earn their way into a Man’s wallet.
It’s just so fucked. I don’t get why it seems so easy for her. And I’ve already had this feeling she’s been getting familiar with this other fucking dude she works with for weeks now. You have this love for a person and you think they reciprocate it back, but after just two months of stress you want to leave? After almost a decade of friendship? Especially when I’m at a low point like this after having lost my job. Shit, she didn’t even have a job for the first 5 months after she moved here and yet she’s frustrated that I can’t find one not even two weeks after getting laid off.
I don’t even have words for it man. This is the worst feeling I’ve ever felt.
We just moved, and we’re paying a lot more money to live here than we previously did. She’s also started this new job, and I just lost mine recently. Then all this bullshit she’s been saying to this guy she works with. I try to talk about it all, she doesn’t want to and just gets defensive and upset. What more can I really do at that point.
Well, this all makes sense now. The first part is more than enough. She wants to get with the other dude and now she has an excuse to justify her leaving while putting the fault on you. The second part is typical double standard nonsense. You as a man, is expected to provide/bring in cash. That is your value. Without that, you have no value. She, being a woman, expects you to “take care” of her, meaning money. There are nigh limitless stories of men who paid to put their wives/girlfriends through school, paid for everything and then when they fell on hard times, the women jettisoned them out of their lives. This happened despite all the good the men did. To quote a caller that dumped her football player boyfriend after he got fired, “I am a woman Tom. I will not be with a man that cannot provide.”
Once I read about how women give men signs that the relationship is over. This is one of them. In fact, I’m willing to bet she’s been planning on leaving for a while.
Gas was 30$, Meal was 30$, movie was about 30$, then the parking was about 20$ so more less 110 ish. Yes I was a sucker. Not afraid to admit it, but you learn from shit like that.
It’s because in her mind she’s already moved on. She’s come to terms that this isn’t what she wants anymore. And you’re the one that’s getting hit with it, why it hurts more for you than for her. I’m sure if you felt the same way as her, she’d be questioning the same thing. If she’s not willing to work shit out then, just let her be. Hell, tell her fine, that she can start packing up her shit and leave some money for the next rent that is due and be out. See if her attitude changes or if she’s really serious about it. When things get rocky, fight or flight comes into play. If she is then, you can see for yourself how she can get when the “going gets tough”. Though, it sucks that you’re shafted in terms of paying for the new place while you’re not working. Definitely need to consider you options if leaving is what she really plans on doing.
And at least you didn’t throw 7+ years into a relationship for that shit to happen.
I was just about to speak on that but you pretty much said everything that needed to be said. A lot of women talk about “If we fall on hard times I got you” But push come to shove, most of them aren’t looking to be the providers. They’re happy to be Ms, Independent as in buying what they want with their money. But when it comes to responsibilities like rent, and what not. They want a man to handle that. And should he find himself in a position to not be able to. Like you said he ain’t shit anymore in a lot of women’s eyes.
Oh yes Lauren Conrad is still looking quite tasty. I love how disgusted she was in that clip…not even being able to look over there anymore…something about that reaction really “worked” for me.
…and it’s good to see another one learn the hard lesson of life----that the majority of romantic relationships are always doomed to fail. Love is just an illusion…an illusion that would make even Lord Aizen Himself smile.
