C'mon . . . for a whole weekend, you need at least a case!

6 beers per person, per day. Or if you're kinky, 4 beers per person, per day.

Well, there goes any chance of me getting a date from any girl on here!

Trust me..........they are MORE trouble than they are worth. You're probably better off with Czeck hookers.

Yeah, back around 1987 I was seeing the most perfect young woman to grace the face of the earth. She was a friend of one of my best skydiving buddies girlfriend. We went out for a while and were really into each other. I encouraged her to go out west when my friend and his gilfriend went back to Nevada. Youknow, see other things expience other things, live a little. Stupid on my part as she met someone a fell in love, got married and had a family. I have seen her a couple of times since then and it always made me feel good for her as she seemed to have something I never finished finding.
Unfortunately since then the breakup scene has always seemed to be a bit more dramtic and complex, but then again, I think thats why they call it life.

Hmmm. That kind of implies I'd have to untie her and take the gag out of her mouth. Besides, the zipper on my Pulp Fiction mask keeps getting caught in the can.

ps- just kidding! The zipper doesn't really get stuck in the can...

Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Ok, well, then you just need a 12-pack and some 'ludes.

And a nice air pump and some duct tape, in case she springs a leak.

Life isn't always fun, and when you make the commitment to share your life with someone, it isn't always going to be fun. The idea of a long term relationship with no arguing or disagreements is totally unrealistic.

I was thinking about the day where my brother and sister-in-law had to clean out their garage full of CRAP (mainly my brother's.) The neighbors got quite an earfull of "Damn it, Rob! What the Hell are you doing still keeping this $hit around?!?!?!" My brother, much like myself, can be a pain in the ass. They bicker. They argue. They've been together for over 10 years and married for almost 5. They have a fantastic relationship, though. It's not her fault my brother would annoy the crap out of anyone, though!

I love my ex boyfriends to this day

My ex wife and I have a great relationship now. We chat every so often and I give advice to her. A few months back she called to ask a mortgage question and at the end of the conversation, I said, "So, you still single? Yes? You ever think that might be because you're an insufferable bitch?" Maybe she can take that well meant direction to heart and grow as a person.

I realized that I'm not happy in a relationship unless I'm challenged, to a certain degree. The ones where there was little to no turmoil are the ones that faded VERY QUICKLY - no passion was involved.

At the risk of sounding condescending, Im going to guess that you are in your early/mid twenties. You might surprise yourself in the next few years or so, when your preference may shift from boys who will put up with that kind of stuff, to men who prefer to avoid it, unless we know it's just a short-term deal. For men, the volatility of "fighting, bickering, etc." equals drama, not passion, and the tolerance threshold for it in a relationship is inversely proportional to age.

And perhaps you're right. Maybe that's the wisdom that comes with age.

But I'm pretty sure you didn't "guess" that I'm early-to-mid-twenties.

Edit: wrong half of a decade.

Actually, I think what happens is that the older men get, the bigger babies they become. And for that reason, I'm only dating younger men. No more old, crabby, whiny-ass titty babies for me. Grow a set, for the love of Pete!

What he said. To me, that kind of behavior screams "drama queen." If I can't get along with a woman the vast majority of the time without bickering, I conclude that I simply can't get along with her and then I move on.

You know what? I'm dating a man 4.5 years younger, and it's the most open, mature, honest relationship I've ever been in. There is no fear, only trust.

I'd say most of my relationships have been good ones, and when they weren't, it wasn't my fault. Seriously. (One of them turned out to be an old, whiney-ass tittie-baby, and the other was a lying, cheating narcissistic dickhead, so clearly not my fault.)

The rest are great, wonderful, sweet, good people I just wasn't meant to be with. I would still do anything for them, and they're still very dear to my heart.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

LOL -- hey a little constructive criticism never hurt right?

Personally if I didn't have a son with my ex I wouldn't have anything to do with her again after she tried to take my son in the divorce.

I agree with Kele01 to some degree that if there was NEVER any sort of disagreement or anything of that sort in a relationship it seems that that relationship would be somewhat boring. Although I am talking about healthy disagreements and infrequent at best but if you have two different people living together that have their own opinions it seems inevitable that there would be some disagreements.

You want a kick in the pants Mr.?

[kelel01 1]

Yeah, let me be clear.

I think my original post got off on a tangent and strayed from the initial intent of the thread. Fighting ALL THE TIME is bad. But you shouldn't be afraid to fight, and it can be healthy on occasion. You shouldn't feel that you need to roll over and say "Thank you sir, may I have another" every time your SO has a problem with you. You should also feel free to express your opinions - financial, religious, political, etc. And sometimes those things are going to cause fights . . .

But again, only if you care enough to argue. I can't tell you how many people I can just turn and walk away from, because they can't engage me in a good discussion, including but not limited to arguments.

But the only way to never fight is for someone to be a doormat. I'm certainly not one, nor can I hang with one.

And as for drama . . . I'm not into drama. Trust me. But I will kick your ass when necessary.

I guess I'm out of place here then. If you need disagreement to keep a relationship from getting boring then my feeling is that a more fundamental problem exists. If I find someone I want to be with, I can think of TONS of better things to do than disagree about something.

There is a difference in dating a doormat that just says yes dear. Then always feeling there has to be Drama.

Not dating a doormat Cool

Its not about NEEDING disagreements to keep a relationship *fresh*. Its about accepting the fact that some disagreements are inevitable in a normal healthy relationship.
