The HELL you say?
You mean BOTH parties have to swallow *their* pride?
Say it isn't so!!
You mean a happy relationship isn't all about the man pissing on himself in fear that the woman will not be pleased when he beats her or fucks her sister or is out all night with scandalous hos while spending the mortgage and food money at the strip clubs or when he sits around at home for the 50th MONTH in a row playing XBOX while ain't nuthin gettin dun round the house, but he is *wink* looking for a job?
Smurfy - you mean you yield too on occasion, it isn't all about YOU!?
I think the world is coming to an end....
As for the sharks, Biteme you don't have a vagina so I don't think that the brotherhood here on elite will be too harsh on you for being human and revealing any of your life's difficulties. As for the women, yes, we WILL point out the obvious if we feel so moved. But that isn't the same thing as high-fiving one another here or on the PM-circuit laughing hysterically at YOUR PAIN while life has run you over.... at least maybe they are better at publicly concealing it if they do?
meh
And as for a LTR just unraveling one day, it doesn't work like that. I like to equate it to a small leak in the roof. One day you realize that your carpet will get ruined if that little *drip* *drip* *drip* isn't addressed but there are so many other matters that need your attention and money. So you put a big barrel to catch the drips, while you pay for braces, fix the car, listen to your mate kvetch about their commute and how they hate their boss, put bandaids on skinned knees and bake 50 thousand cupcakes for the school fund-raiser of the minute.... then one day, many many many moons later the barrel bursts, furnishings destroyed and the ceiling caves in all of the sudden just ONE DAY. Now what would have cost *this much* to address and repair quite a while ago, though unpleasant would have been VERY fixable... is now maybe damaged beyond repair, no amount of time or money can repair. Or perhaps it can be fixed somewhat, will need extensive time and effort but will it ever be as good as it was before?
Men and women seem to view the same relationship with very different eyes.
Hope it works out, whatever it is.
