which bills?

Anonymous wrote:- Being rude to the people around you (waitstaff, etc.)

- Talking badly about an ex

- Not taking their job seriously

- Not having any friends

- Wanting to spend time with only you, not other friends

- Getting upset if you don't answer their calls/text them back quickly enough

These are the ones I can think of that I avoided when dating, but this was two decades ago

These are really good, speaks to their temperament and how they value other people and their time.

for me, if a woman is angry or can't cover her bills or expect you to pay every time.

For me it was having only a high school education. I convinced myself to be open minded and give it a try. But it proved to be truly unsustainable for a huge number of reasons, from finances (her income potential was extremely limited) to conversation quality.

Can we please get back on track? Who has some real world stories from the past few years to share?

This is a truly strange swerve to to the conversation.

Wife of 20+ years (maybe yours) whose husband does this. IT F-ing RUDE!!! Stop it - we’re not in the Middle East where women have to walk behind you! If we end up divorced this is one of the reasons.

this is trash behavior, my elderly mom walks very slowly and I have no issue slowing way way down. Pace matching is not that difficult for decent people

These people who can't control their walk speed to match their partner... as you both walk together, does the distance between you increase steadily over the walk? If not, then you ARE walking the same speed as the partner who is behind - you're just walking in front - yes, you CAN control that easily. No, it's not phsycially painful, it really isn't.

If you're space is increasing over time and you decide you can't control it, well, you will lose out on a lot of connection/intimacy with your partner. May not feel like a big deal to you now, but later, you won't even know why things aren't as good. They may not divorce you, but it will create a chasm.

Look at parents walking with their small kids. The kids have little legs - do you see the parent walking 10 feet in front and the toddler by themselves 10 feet behind..for the whole walk? No of course not, the parent adjusts their pace. It can be done. If you don't do this for your partner, the love erodes whether anyone admits/recognizes or not.

Now if you talk about it, and your partner is totally good with never walking side by side with you, then it could work.

There is no greater way to signal to your partner that they are insignificant than not even deigning to walk at a pace they find comfortable.

I don't think short people understand how physically painful it can be to restrict your natural stride. It actually hurts.

No kidding. And when you don’t help a man finish, it can be super painful too. Do damage to your nuts even! Poor boy. I can just imagine you gallantly striding from your bedroom to the bathroom at full speed because otherwise the restriction of your natural stride is just unbearable!




Grow up.

Small, sweaty hands

The walking thing is hilarious. I’m always trying to get DH to keep up! Guess I’ll have to slow down or he might divorce me? lol

She did have some interesting stories from prison though...

The hottest sex I’ve ever had was with a guy who later went to jail. He was 100% the stereotype of a bad boy and nobody was surprised he got locked up. But damn, we had some great times in bed and I’ve never had that same spark with anyone else.

I found out he got out last week and now I can’t stop thinking about him and all the fun we had. I am old enough to know better than to get involved with a criminal, but still, part of me hopes he’ll reach out….
