yay Liz! congratz to both you AND lush! finally, you can get Alife some obedience lessons now!
i don't get it. you try to do the right thing, the good thing, the golden rule thing. you know, treat others as you would like to be treated? and yet, you keep running into these people who seem to take great delight in making your life miserable - it's all a game to them - they don't even have to know you - they can sit at home in anonymity and do it over the internet, not giving a fuck about how it effects someone else, about how it makes someone else's day/week/month miserable, usually someone undeserving of being treated like that. some how they get off on it. it's totally fucked up and i hope that, one day, they realize it and KNOW what a messed up person they are. i also am small enough to hope that someone does it to them so they KNOW how it feels.
A genie grants you three wishes but..
One wish must be to change something in the world - Tacos should appear instantly whenever someone wants one - and strawberry milkshakes.
One wish must be to change something about yourself - i want to be a cowgirl so i guess... spurs and a hat?
One wish must be to change something about your partner / loved one - she's perfect the way she is, so really, no need.
she has a potty mouth and says 'shit' a lot (and shit like that).
she says she likes movies about Oceans, but doesn't mention Finding Nemo. i find that odd.
i got kind of lost part way thru this one who said what, who was being sarcastic, what was deleted, etc, so...
abuse. no women like to be abused. period. no men do, either. sometimes, tho, we get stuck in a place and it happens and what it looks like from without is not what it feels like from within. smart, educated, together women even. for the record, i was in an abusive relationship - saying that i could have left anytime i wanted and that it was my fault, that i must have liked it, is insulting. not a reply, btw, just something i'm sharing, because i have heard those words expressed. it's usually very complicated - never black and white. so my short answer, is again, no. women do not LIKE being abused. sometimes they feel trapped with no power to make it stop, however, whether that being physical, emotional, or mental. fear also plays a large role - when you are afraid that, by trying to get out, you will be hurt or worse... sometimes staying is NOT the worst option, believe it or not.
Rage Cage is now open for business - new rule, i have been given carte blanche to do whatever the fuck i want in here - that means, as of if this moment, anyone breaking the motherfucking rules, their post gets deleted, they get a warning. ONE warning. second time it happens, you will be banned from this topic for life. now, if you'll excuse me, i have some cleaning up to do. and do NOT come crying to me if you find one of your posts deleted. rules were laid out, you chose to break them - this is NOT censorship, this is me cleaning up after your asses - just be glad i am nice enough not to go and mention people by NAME.
sprite ~ Goddess of Rage.
has nice underwear (when she bother to put it on)
The rules were very simple:
1) No directing your rage at other members - this is not UFC (sorry, Doll, but it's not!).
2) No directing your rage at the site. Nicola and the mods do an amazing job here and work hard at making it this wonderful and if you don't like it, leave. This is for stuff outside the site. Stuff that you just need to vent about.
3) let it all out about the little things or the big things. That ass who took your parking spot, getting the pink slip, being sick, getting dumped, all of it, just let it go here.
4) You are not allowed to tell anyone not to be angry, to calm down. We feel how we feel. Do not try to reason with the the rage. It needs to be let loose.
5) Don't censor yourself. Let it all out.
6) Be respectful of other peoples rage. Being bitchy in public is scary. Don't belittle anyone. Ok, have fun.
VERY simple. now i'm getting PMs and OMs from members about who's sniping at who in here. i, and others. have had to post too many reminders in here lately. i really did figure people could act like adults at an adult site. apparently, i was wrong. Cage is closed until further notice. my apologies to those who have been using it as originally intended. at some point, it will reopen. please do NOT contact me about this issue. any correspondence will simply delay that reopening and may even result in the entire thread being DELETED. thank you.
eww - genitals are yucky!
just a word of warning - keep Lush stuff out of here - if this even looks like it's going to turn into a flame war, the cage gets locked and i throw away the key. no second chances. thank you.
something else to consider, too, Metilda - YOU have changed as well - essentially, you've been single for 2 years, in a sense. that's got to be strange for both of you to have him home now - he probably feels out of place, and he probably also seems out of place - it might be a matter of both of you needing more time to adjust and get used to him being home.
you're all wrong! we are all straight gay bisexually curious people! everyone of us! even you! yes, you! *points* don't pretend you don't know what i'm talking about!
1. No Sense of humour
That's not even funny.
2. Not career minded...no focus - buy bye
does hooker count?
3. Materialistic
ok, just a little diamond then - like 2 carats....
4. (Like Felix said) - you become her whole life within a week - RUN!!
but you're my only friend!
5. No hobbies outside of our relationship
so, what is it we like to do again?
6. Can't carry on an intelligent conversation and she just keeps going..umm hmm when you speak.
ummm...
7. Lack of sex drive
didn't we do the whole sex thing last year and you want to do it again?
8. Doesn't like dogs
i don't think you're a dog... well...
9. No sense of excitement and willing to try new things (white water rafting, bungee jumping etc)
that shit is dangerous!
10. Doesn't like to travel
i travel plenty - from the bed to the fridge, and back again...
11. Lazy
...but it'd be easier if you got my beer for me.
12. Doesn't like to keep a clean house / car
why do you think i want a man, silly?!
13. Judgemental about your religious beliefs
not an issue as long as you don't have any.
14. She has a crazy mother (sign of what's to come)
how about a dead mother? better or worse?
ok, not sure if this will be helpful or not, and you DID say he was stateside, but to me it sounds somewhat like PTSD or something else on the mental/emotional spectrum. it doesn't even have to have a big trigger - simply having been separated from the home, his family, perhaps he's finding it difficult to find his place there? he's been living in, what i imagine, is a fairly regimented lifestyle - while you've been at home taking care of everything - it might simply be that he feels the need to be useful, and isn't sure how to go about doing it? also, perhaps something happened that he hasn't shared, that changed his behavior? that's something only he'd be able to tell you, obviously - i think that, the best thing to do, would be to simply sit down and talk about what's going on, if he's willing - might also want to consider couples therapy - i mean, seriously, it's usually best to get to the root of the problem when it's still a small problem, not before it become a bigger one. sometimes, is a partner feels like their life is out of control, they do things that they think we'll give them control again - sounds like your husband needs to feel like he's in control - that's where i'd start - find out why he feels out of control in the first place.
btw, this is not an informed opinion - i'm not a shrink or even close to it - just some thought based on personal experience - hope it helps, tho.
