I was prepared to give Tom_W1987 the benefit of the doubt but now it turns out he's still serving notice with his original landlord [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/should-i-be-a-prick-and-would-it-be-legal ]http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/should-i-be-a-prick-and-would-it-be-legal[/url] so can only have been co-habiting for a few weeks I think we can dismiss his confidence in his partner as naive at best.
When I was about 14 I had a mate stay over for the night and we camped in the garden, next day we were off on Holiday to Wales for more camping.
Anyway, my mate was swearing in his sleep like a right trooper, I didn't wake him up but I did recite his foul mouthed slumber speech to him in the morning to see if he was aware of this night time tirade. When I had finished I unzipped the tent to see my mum at he conservatory window looking absolutely fuming (never swore in front of her)
Anyway, she refused to go on holiday with me and in a stubborn female manner fell out with my dad as well and ignored all of his attempts to get her to come on what was a well planned trip. In the end me and my dad had an amazing week camping, biking, boating on Bala Lake etc
Mum was effing fuming that we didn't turn round and go back for her 😆 talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face.
Ooops; we had the same strategy just before we set off to camp for two nights to watch the TDF in Addingham. Gti Junior and I wanted to take the road bikes but Mrs Gti threw a strop saying she didn't want to sit alone in the tent while we enjoyed ourselves. She reused to come so thinking that would give her more long-term ammunition for abuse, we dropped the idea of taking the bikes as the less painful choice.
Chap once said to me, women don't want to be loved, they want to be dominated.
At the time I was outraged. But the more I look around me...
Wasswas, 4 years, since the 2nd year of university. I do wonder about this thread considering there are at least four female posters on here.
I just don't get it, most people can get annoying if you live with them for a long time. It's not just women.
Neither do I get the whole "I don't understand women" thing, it's loads easier to talk to and have a rational conversation with a woman. Maybe I'm just ****ed in the head.
The old Stanislaw Lem quote about humans not wanting to look for new world's but simply mirrors of our own applies to relationships. If you don't like your partner because she's crazy, it's probably a reflection on yourself.
Nah, mine knows she's bat shit crazy Tom
[i][s]Husbands[/s] GFs are mostly quite simple. Generally, what they want is unlimited, enthusiastic sex, constant reassurance, good food and plenty of freedom, of at least three of these four. Some can be trained to be very helpful domestically and some even enjoy it; but most are not bred for it.[/i]
People are just people. girls not really any different to boys in most things. My ex was mental about somethings and happy about stuff that would drive me nuts.
Sad that old blokes are saying "I don't understand wimmin"
Some of these blokes aren't deserving of a woman!

I think most of us just don't understand people, tbh. It's just that the person we misunderstand the most is the one closest to us.
As the old adage goes, "if it flies, floats or fornicates, always rent it"
I can't say I do that, but I've found the least stressful way to live with my other half is simply not to live with her. Been together 8 years, we have our own houses, we each spend plenty of time to ourselves as well as time with each other, we have a good relationship.
Are you sure that's the adage?
I just can't imagine why I'd want to rent an airship, poo, or a randy hedgehog.
Interesting websites. Both writers make the simple mistake of actually arguing with their GFs. I don't argue about anything because I know that my grasp of semantics is not good enough to win. Therefore I just bite my lip, say nothing and store it up for the future.One thing I have stored up is that many years ago, she admitted in an unguarded moment that on the extremely rare occasions when I do reach the end of my tether and lose my rag, she finds it frightening. She even said that she finds it frightening when I lose my temper with other people. I pretended not to hear her but I noted it carefully and I don't lose my temper; I just quietly bide my time knowing I've got that available to me as the ultimate weapon to be used only in moments of extreme need.

Women are convinced it is their right not to have sex when they don’t feel like it, and it is a man’s duty to wash up, though he hates it — and so it is, of course. But that’s not the point. Granny was right; never say no, and never nag.
Am I the only one who is a little uncomfortable with that statement.
Pretty glad the more enlightened blokes are starting to post in this thread.
GF, nope! Don't even want to read back and see who said it!
Wallop, I know. I made that face when I saw that post as well 😕
BN it was at the end of the Minette Marrin that was quoted.
Ah right; glad to hear that it's just a quote! (and in context as well).
It's a rather rambling article though.
Ah, Minette Marrin, proper right wing Daily Mail click baiting nutjob. Other classics include banning cyclists from city roads and saying that women shouldn't cycle because it makes them sweaty and have muscular calves.
If she's the sort of women STW chaps are attracted to, no wonder they're having trouble! 😆
There is probably a lot of truth to that article about life getting busy and husbands/wives letting their relationship slip as it is easier than ignoring kids/job etc.
Another question, should your wife not enjoy having sex with you rather than seeing it as a duty? Surely she has a sex drive too?
About four times a year, yes....
Surely she has a sex drive too?
With somebody else more like!
The grass is always greener and there's less risk of naggage. And if that should start, you can walk away. But it hurts on the inside. For you shouldn't be looking elsewhere for something that was so much a vital part of your relationship.
Let's go back to the 50's, everything was better then.
People evolve and continue to do so, we're shaped by experiences and knowledge. We also have a huge number of opportunities open to us.
I look at my friends and there's all different situations from living a charade that fools nobody to being divorced. A strong marriage has eluded many as children, elderly parents, careers have all played their part whilst ignoring the passage of time and what is staring one in the face.
It's tough.
Wish I'd taken my own advice yesterday - industrial grade PMT :(([
