What have you learned from relationships?

[duece71]

Women get apeshit pissed every month and you (men) are the target! At least my wife gives me a warning when it's about to happen. Too bad that warning could mean tomorrow or next week.

Never ever take advantage of what you have.
That way, when she does, you can blame it all on her....

The one common denominator in EVERY one of my failed relationships was . . . me.

When I decided to grow up, sober up, and get my shit together (at age 37), I met my second wife and we've been together for a little over seventeen years.

And it's never 50/50. Sometimes you carry more weight, sometimes it's the other way around. Maybe in the final tally it works out even, but if you try to keep score on a week by week basis, it's probably not gonna end well.

Women like to tell you their problems simply to tell you their problems. If you misunderstand and try and fix those problems they often get annoyed. Got so bad I had to tell my wife to not tell me about any problems she doesn't want me to fix or offer advice on.

Now this is a universal truth!

In observation?

If someone has been divorced multiple times, they're probably a P.O.S. azzhole.

Date more than 6 months before getting married.

Don't be an idiot.


Pretty simple stuff.

If you find a beautiful girl, who has a kind heart, and is low maintenance- deal with any of her other bullshit. Or give me her number.

Honestly, i find the most important quality in a woman to be how she looks and feels about me. Nothing can beat a girl who looks at you with real honest love in her eyes. Everything else can be worked out. Maybe I'm insecure and need to see it, but that's just me.

I figured that I had it figured out. I waited till I was 29 to get married. I was wrong and it cost me big time. The list I could write would take up too much bandwidth, but will expound on the much more sage advice...

1. Brimstone, I saw this years ago with a beautiful woman walking from the surf on a beach towards you. It still rings true.

2. Doc... 1 and 4. Truth.

3. Styer... 2. We are more alike than I thought.

4. Wake... 1 is gold.

5. THCDDM4 and crow hunter... Basically all of it.

It is an evolving, strange thing, women. Never will know I guess.

From my friend, who happens to be female, I will offer a few counter points... She's really cool about this...

1. Men are assholes... I told her we already know this.

2. She can't depend on a man to be there for her... I told her you picked the wrong guy. Not my fault. I picked the wrong woman too.

I should add we are both divorced.

3. I(she) learned that she couldn't depend on a man to be there for her.

This took prodding. Trying to figure out what she was saying. I now know I will always be an asshole, I am mistrusted with every step, and I feel the same way.

I might be wrong... And she might be too...

Make sure you both know what you're getting into before you tie the knot. Get all the baggage out there first. You don't wanna be married for three years then have her find out that you were in a porn one time.

(I haven't done the married part. But I've been in a relationship for a few years.)

My wife was pretty cool about my porn past.
