How?

That is not what I was going to say. My assessment would be much harsher. Maybe I should switch teams and find true happiness! Don't tell Fred, though ;-)

OMG! Lauren was too fast for me. But yeah....

We...I mean _most_...XY men also like to leave hair of all types all in the drain and sink and other bathroom surfaces, drink straight out of the milk or orange juice carton n the fridge, put said empty cartons _back_ in the fridge for safe-keeping, watch any and all sports that our wife/girlfriend hates (including wrestling), film the dog dragging butt on the new carpet,.....and other fun stuff.

Note, most of what we think of as "fun" is exceedingly frowned upon and found to be disgusting by women. It's baffling.
 
I was thinking more like cheat on you, because the grass is always greener. I think I could handle drinking out of milk cartons if only they didn't do that.

Not this one. I don't drink more than a beer or two a month, I don't like sports other than Ulitmate Fighting, I wash my own clothes, I roll the toothpaste up from the bottom and put the TP with the flap on the outside top, I enjoy things like raking and wooding, I like to cook(and I'm good at it), don't mind the little things like changing the oil or adding brake fluid, and I never leave the toilet seat up. Not even when I lived alone as a bachelore before my daughter was born. I think it's "dirty", though I rationally am aware it's just a phobia...

I'm also not afraid to stop and ask for directions, I know how to read a map, my feet don't stink(too bad), and my undies aren't full of holes. Yet somehow, I still manage to be the worst boyfriend possible.:shrugs:

For the record, I don't lose my temper easily, I have never raised my hand in anger towards a female, a child, or an animal, I don't believe in playing headgames, I don't lie, and I've never cheated, so those aren't what makes me such a bad boyfriend. I'm still trying to figure it out...:punch:

Ah, yes, I have had my share of "those" types, cheating. They never learn..they want to come back after. I'll never understand those types of guys.

You are one of the few & we appreciate you for that!
 
Chris, you are too good to be true. Your girlfriend should be made to read this.

I can testify from even being on the 'other team', most (not all, mind you, but most) gay boyfriends are pigs when no one is looking. :p

REALLY?!? That chick needs a reality check.
 
Josie and BloodyBaroness, you must be kindred spirits of mine. I really don't enjoy bars and clubs as much as relaxing at home with a book or going on a walk through the park, either alone or with one or two close friends. My idea of a good date is browsing a used bookstore.

It probably sounds cliche, but I think true love usually finds you, not the other way around. It happens when you aren't looking for it, when you're preoccupied doing the things you enjoy most. And when someone falls for you being true to yourself, in your own element, the chances are far greater that the love is genuine and lasting. Anything less than someone who truly loves and respects you for who you are is just not worth it.

For the record, Chris, I think you deserve better. Head-games, nagging and unfairness don't need to be tolerated, and there are plenty of humans out there with XX chromosomes who do not indulge in such behavior. Your girlfriend ought to realize what a talented individual she shares her life with, something that shines through your photography and conservation work.
 
I think you deserve better! It sounds to me like your girlfriend is taking you for granteds. I think after being together that long what you see on a daily basis is who she is and that isn't going to change. Everyone has a bad day but when the nagging and such is a constant thing and if brought to her attention she still continues then it is what it is and you have a decision to make. Can you be happy in that relationship or not. If the answer is no then it is time to move on.

I do not hate my exboyfriend for leaving. I honestly am not even mad, hurt yes, but not mad. I will always love him. He's a good guy and he deserves to be happy, if not with me then with someone else. He never mis treated me, was always good to me and my daughters. He says the same thing about me and how I was with him and his sons. It just wasn't meant to be for us.

I am a huge home body. I always have been. I lead a busy life so when I get a chance to relax I tend to do it at home. Now with being in school I am typically at home doing homework or studing for a test. I do enjoy doing things with friends and family but I'm also on a limited budget so that plays a big part in what I do.

I met my ex totally by accident and after talking for two weeks we went on a date. From that day on we were together almost every day (can count on one hand when we weren't) until the day he moved out. I wasn't looking for love when it found me and in the end I guess it just wasn't meant to be but I have very fond and happy memories of my time with him.

I keep a clean house but I am not OCD about it. I spent most of my teenage years with more chores when one person should have so now as an adult, my house is clean but I'm not spending every waking hour cleaning it. I would fail a white glove test. LOL And right now unpacking is driving me insane! I unpack boxes and I swear they mulitply over night.

LOL-I am pretty much a homebody myself, & while I am no slob, I am certainly not super picky about having an "uber-clean" house.

I was single for the first 45 years of my life and have been married for 1.5 years. (I'm a newbie; I know.) And while I sometimes felt lonely for that special kind of companionship/affection, I was also very happy single. I think singleness is underrated in our society. I think many people are afraid to be alone, so it is portrayed as this negative state of being. But nothing could be farther from the truth. If it's embraced, it can be a time of great richness. When I was single, I grew by leaps and bounds as a person in a way I wouldn't have if I had been married. (And the reverse can be true as well.) I spent my time, money, and energy investing in things that were very important to me. I created a family of close friends.

I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised, Josie, to find this season of your life (however painful at the beginning) to be a rich and rewarding one. We are each a garden and we are the only gardeners we have; we must tend ourselves well if we want to grow.

I didn't think it too likely to find a guy who was weird in the same ways I was, and liked me, too - and vice versa!

I thought I was the only one who felt that way! But John and my weirdnesses coincide nicely. ;)

Very true.
 
I was single for 4 years, after my divorce, before meeting my exboyfriend and I loved it! After being in a 13 year relationship it was nice not having to answer to anyone. I spent most of my time with my daughter and finding myself, healing myself. I am not the kind of person who cannot be alone. I have watched friends go through bad relationships because they are scared to be alone. I can be miserable all by myself, I dont need someone else to make me that way. There have been some major life changes that have happened to me in the last two years, this break up is just another to add to the list.

LOL. Priceless, Todd.

And for the record ladies, no offense intended in my first post, or any other, for that matter.
I have way too many near and dear and precious lady friends, young and old, to ever take my own lame humor too seriously.

On this note may I add that I too may jest at times but I am a true admirer of the female of the species! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
