Pay attention to your woman you shitferbrains. Otherwise you'll get yours in the cornhole in the afterlife.

My classic can't buy a hint story:
I'm still dating my ex and we're headed up to the mountains for the weekend. Along the way, she asks me if I'd like to stop for some tea. No.
A little later on, she asks again, would I like to stop for some tea? No, I don't like tea.
15 minutes later she's crying. "Are you mad at me?"
I'm like, WTF, where did this come from?
Of course she was asking to stop and I didn't get it. Pulled off at the next exit. I had a beer I think. I can't stand tea. . .

My ex was going through a mid-life crisis and coerced me into buying her a 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4. As with all of these little monsters, it spent a lot of time in the shop.....she left me for the Porsche mechanic....true story!

from a girl's perspective, it is kind of dissapointing and sad when with things like getting all cute w/the lingerie a guy doesn't seem to notice or appreciate that you cared enough to put some effort into things for him.

eKat, that was my whole marriage in a nutshell.
Since she was English, she couldn't really come out and say what she wanted. She had to hint around it. Of course, most of it went straight over my head. She's way better than the rest of her family though.
My part in all of it, though, was that I never really learned how to listen or be aware of my own feelings until it was too late.
Personal growth through heartache, eh? How else to make changes to your person? Although effective, I don't recommend it to others. . .

Phil,
This is funny but appropriate:
Installing Love
Tech Support: Yes, how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?
Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running?
Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.
Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed.
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, 'Error - Program not run on external components.' What should I do?
Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?
Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.
Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the 'My Heart' directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others. Pay it forward...

First wife. Met her when I was a shine boy in a barber shop. She was 12, I was 13. She was beautiful and sweet and blond with big boobs. (yes, even at 12)
She lived 400 miles away and we wrote letters, etc. till I joined the Navy. After bootcamp, we got together. She was a senior in HS.
We got married when she was a sophomore at U of Tenn. She transferred to the college of Charlseston, cause I was stationed there. She finished school and we moved to South Florida after I got out of the Navy.
She started wanting to "spend time with her girlfriends" and I trusted her. I eventually became suspicious and asked her about it. No, No, nothing like that, she says.
One Sunday, we were out for a drive and she tells me she is moving out when we return. I'm just not for her, she says. No boyfriend or anything.
I tell her, if she can walk out of the house with our 8 year old daughter sitting on the couch with me, go ahead. To my surprise, she does. Daughter and I in tears.
I hire a priavte detective. Within one week, he has video of her making out with her boss in a park.
I show her the video and tell her that all I want is a fair divorce, shared custody of our daughter. She says ok. We use the same lawyer and the judge says easy day here.
22 years ago, and it still hurts. It was nearly a year before I went a whole day without crying.
We are not friendly but not enemy's either.
BTW, Her boss starting carrying a gun, cause he knew I did. I was VERY glad of that fact. I used to carry a copy of the deed to my house so I could bond out quickly. My saying was that I'd be out of jail before he got out of the hospital.
PS, They got married 8 years later. Very unhappy now.

Besides my parents, I have never seen a good ltr or marriage.
These are great stories! Keep posting them. I need all the reasons I can think of to stay unmarried and do what I want whenever I want. Thank you staco...

I am smiling...
Guys just get caught up in their minds with work, bills, issues etc. They even might be suffering from some physical injury and won't express it.
Then you find yourself in some slinky silk thing wondering how the heck can this man ignore you. Especially when that afternoon the very same guy spotted a set of boobs six miles away and stopped to stare at them.
What? Now that mine are always available, have they lost their appeal? Then why do you get nervous when I wear a low cut top to the store?
Am I no longer fun to play with?
-----------------------------------------------------
The only thing I can figure is...
If you are ignored once in a blue moon, or doing times of crisis... Just as long that it is not lasting weeks/months, chalk it up as that being part of life. Even the best relationships have low periods.
Now if you are ignored all the time and it is not due to physical illness and you really are in need...
Time to break up and find another man. Break Up Now...
A beautiful woman should never be wasted with an unwilling man, especially when there are so many kind and willing ones running around.

Blinny, yes on the ltr. And I agree, times have changed. My folks are inseperable after 40 some years. I have never seen anything like it. Things are maybe too complicated these days for something simple like love.

Yuck! Make that double YUCK! My definition of total and utter waste of time and, moreover, totally useless man. Thanks but no thanks. And don't any one of you here who are fond of drugs and booze even TRY to defend him. Dead = useless. As far as I am concerned, it represents the biggest waste of my time and most significant error of judgment. Wouldn't touch one of these types again with a 10 foot pole no matter how good they look and or or how well they f*#k.
i don't even know what point you were trying to make here but you come across as so incredibly selfish and ignorant and unlikable withat post, it almost makes me want to puke, and i already knew i didn't like you before i read that...
addiction is a disease, not a state of being, not a trait nor set of traits.
your only bitch is your own expediture of TIME?
where is the compassion, the regret things turned out that way?
and what about your own missed opportunities to possibly change the outcome?
a person whose company you enjoied is gone from the earth, and rather than miss him, forgive him, grieve him, you just BLAME him! your sole focus is on your own regret over your "waste of time"?!?
the bitterness you cling to cannot be masked, cannot be contained, cannot be disguised, and it's not very flattering, i can assure you.
my best guess is that you didn't ever breed, because you'd hoped to with him,but by the time you found another to have you, the window was closed (or closing fast) on the both of you.
is/was that the issue?
you'd come across as less hateful if you just said what you meant, rather than curse those who are no longer among us, did you even read your own post? just ugly...

Ekat nails it. Communication. Both sides need to learn to communicate what they need and want.
Riley, if your wife didn't communicate enough, then don't take the blame for a failed surprise. If she knew what she wanted, then she should have communicated that. Some surprise is better then no surprise. How surprised would you have been if she had put on the outfit with a long coat over it and then flashed you? Then told you that you could have more once you got the kids to the sisters. Would that have woken you up?
Don't get mad.... communicate.

I've never been married, but my girlfriend of a year just dumped me. Some of you may say 'pfff...a year ain't nothin.' This was my first serious relationship in a while. Only the second time I've said the 'L' word to a girl.
It's nice being free, but my entire social life was her. I live in the Oakland right now and as soon as the school year is over I'm moving back to Oregon. I'm worried though. It seems that every time a relationship sours, my response is to move away to another place...
I'm only 27, but the idea of being unmarried in ten years scares the sh!t out of me.
edit: and the reason she gave for dumping me was that i could not communicate effectively. guilty as charged.

Lois,
Your post struck straight to my heart. I am one of those guys who suffers from addictions, dyslexia and add. I am the person who is a waste of time and effort. Maybe it is my fault and maybe not.
You might remember a recent post that describes my "true" place in the universe. A gain of sand on the beach.
Yet, at the same time, I think some folks might be in such a place, as to find some value in spending time with me. At least for awhile. I can imagine folks growing tired.
I guess that Libby figured it out.
I am sorry that I am who I am, truly. But it is who I am.
At least I can and have climbed Royal Arches. Not millions have. There is joy and peace on the rock. I hope that everyone find their rock.

Lois, I disagree with how Matt spoke his peace, but there is significance in how vehement you considered the relationship to be a waste.
How could ten years of love be a waste? Considering his death to be a waste is different then considering the whole relationship to have been.
