cant say I do. When I started dating Kris, I made a few things clear about who Id want to be with.
1> no arguing.
2> no control, on either end.
weve known eachother since july '02, and have dated since sept '04, and both of those requirements have been met.
Personaly, I find it pretty sad when people cant seperate from someone that "drives them nuts". Im not going to lie, I was in that possition too with my ex. But I made sure to change that after the split. |

I feel ya. I was trying to do the same, unfortunately, I was in a situation where I didn't get to spend a lot of time with my lady, so it took a while for me to learn all of the idiosyncracies that didn't mesh too well with my personality. I love her, but it's tough sometimes. She's moving much further away soon, so we'll see what happens. Not to say I am looking for something easy, just someone who tends to certain behavioral patterns more similar to mine.

| I was in a relationship for a month, but she wanted to go back to being friends because she didn't think she was ready for a relationship and we're both really busy being RAs, classes, etc. I'm hoping we could get back together at the end of the semester or maybe next semester when we aren't RAs, but we'll see. |

| I'm sometimes afraid I drive John nuts and he's just too nice to say anything. So when I have a chance to give him "alone time" I try to take advantage of it. |

Happily married for a little over a year now (1yr, 4 mos.).
She does a lot of things that drive me crazy, but I know I make her a little batty as well. It's just part of the deal, I think  |

I could never be with anyone who referred to woman as "Broads". Sorry HRW. However the humor hasn't escaped me entirely. I think whenever you're in a relationship for the long haul, (and hopefully less of it is a haul, if you know what I mean), things go up and down. As long as the up times out weigh the down, I say you're doing good. I've been with the my husband-like boyfriend for many years, and I have really high expectations,so he can make me crazy.
Mostly, he makes me laugh on a daily basis, and he gives me a lot of space to do as I please, so he gets to stay. It's never perfect ya know? Peace, Robin |

Broads is a provincial thing.
I have only dated 3 girls over the course of my short 24 year existence. 2 of which I dated for 2 years each (including the current one), the other was for a month. I don't really dabble too much, I try and find girls with similar interests across the board, which is rare considering how weird I am.
Surprisingly enough, I am a very respectable individual. I have a strong sense of humor about relationship roles, so even though you might be "just some broad," I'll always be "just some dude." |

| if it's nothing majorly annoying, just learn to accept it. no one's perfect. we all have little idiosyncrocies. you'll miss those things when they're not there anymore. |

Why Dave, then you can lick their nostrils everytime you see them!
Dan, I'd say its overall pretty serious stuff. I'd say it borderlines on bipolar sometimes, and I have a hard time dealing with that becuase I am generally even-handed. Someone flipping out on you then apologising 20 minutes later constantly gets a little heavy.
Anyway, thanks for the compliment Robin, I am glad I am a source of amusement. As it turns out, that is my calling in life. AHAHHA |

i'm not the posterboy for even-handedness, so i can't sit here and say "yeah dude, that's fucked up." it's a judgement call you have to make. if it's such that her volitility is, say, making communication difficult, then you might have a problem. if it's putting distance between you two, it's a problem. best to try to talk about it before doing anything else.
what i meant by little things was little personal habits that might get to you over time. |

Nah, I hear you. And you're right, the little stuff is the stuff that grows on you. But many times, it'll be her hanging up the phone on me, then calling back 15 minutes later to apologize. My whole things is 'Let's not let it get to that level.' She claims she can't help it, which makes me think, 'Um...not working." The thing that complicates it is that she's gotten better, but I am afraid of catching a plateau and being miserable, it's just alwasy tough to make a one-sided judgement call on a relationship. Heartbreak is inevitable.
Fucking love. |

| it's good not to have a lot of one sided decisions. unless you're talking break up, it's better to find a way around that. and if does come to that, honesty is the way to go. don't dance around the issue. tell her why. you'd be doing yourself and her a disservice otherwise. |

That reminds me of Good Will Hunting when the doctor tells Will about his wife's little pecadillos. It was so sweet. |
