Ladies, how much of this is true?

[Trip]

I actually agree with tigger. Equal partners is a nice wording we use to try to make ourselves feel better, it never works out that way. One partner usually bites their tongue better and just accepts the role as submissive. There can only be one dominant.

She says she tries to help out around the house, as do I.
And she uses my car and the only money I ever see for that is the occasional 20 in fuel.

She thinks this is unfair. Even though she doesn't even pay 2/5. And now she wants to pay even less, and I refuse.

I've told her, I can have a roomate who pays me more and then I don't have to worry about them at all. Thing is, she'd have to find her own place, and its hard to find a place for 600 all inclusive like she gets here.

What do you all think? Am I charging her top much?

A g/f is a chick you go drive to her house to take out. A wife is the one who moves in.

Did you expect her to pay half without a contract? lol

Suckers...

But those of us who have been married more than once were at least brave/stupid enough to give the other sex another chance.

Some people would say this of me. However, it hasn't been decades yet, and I'm not really "looking" very hard. I'm just dating when I get a chance and if I meet the right one, so be it. Just hasn't happened yet. A friend of mine once said he doesn't want to die alone. He's married to a bitch because he doesn't want to get divorced for a 3rd time. I think I prefer being single.

Ps, I just dropped over 2000 on car insurance, car repair, and heating oil. And ill never see a dime for any of it. During the holiday season I might add.

You guys are still in the doe eyed love phase.

Wait till you enter, "if she fucking does that shit one more time I'm going to jail for murder" phase...


Nobody keeps score. The only time I ever bring up paying more is when she gets on my case about some pointless shit. And its not everyday, its rarely even monthly. But, it does happen.
I shovelled the driveway twice the other night, and woke up early to shovel the car out to bring her to work. When I picked her up after work, she gave me shit about my snowpants being on the floor since she went to work.. You mean those pants that were outside longer than you were to make sure you could get into work? Ya, they've earned their right to be there.

Honestly, she is worth it. I wouldn't be doing it if she wereent.

Some of the arguments just don't make sense. I should pay more because I make more? Well then, I will be ending my contract at work ASAP, and taking a minimum wage job with zero stress and even less effort. You have fun carrying our bills...

You need to meet different women. All but 2 of my real friends are guys (including many from this forum, even if they are my friends because I have boobs, I love them nonetheless).

When one of us doesn't feel like it's equal anymore, we adjust.

Seriously, neither of us has the final say all the time. Some days it's me, some days it's her. You guys need to meet some better women.

Good post. Total truth.

Yeah no kidding. Most of my friends are male except for a few girlfriends but they took me a while to develop due to the gossipy judgemental shit that I didn't want to be a part of. Guys make great friends cause they don't care about all that...they just want to go out and drink a few beers and watch the game just like I do.

Guys are worse than women!

Depends on what you mean by "worse." Most guys are pretty straight forward about their motivation. You know what you're getting. Most women seem to have been reared on the teachings of Machiavelli. If a guy has ulterior motives when it comes to a friendship with a woman then you'll either find out about them in short order, or he'll just stop coming around. If a woman does, then it could be years before you have a clue what was really on her mind.

I've had several female friends who, while they said that they weren't looking for a relationship with me (which I was fine with, by the way), would still be obviously jealous when I was actually seeing someone.

Guys are monomaniacal, and it shows in all aspects of life. Women are multi-taskers, and it shows in all aspects of life.

In what way? Gossip?

In my experience, guys don't gossip about their girlfriends nearly as much as girls gossip about their boyfriends.
