Are you obsessed with analysing other people's relationships?

[dolf]

Do you lay awake at night worrying about who wears the trousers, who compromises most, and who earns the most?

If so, do you also follow your soap operas religiously, and find yourself congratulating or chastising the characters through the screen?

Not at all. Though I do know a couple where the guy talks about how mean and judgmental his gal is, how we don't see how she really is, etc.
One time we all met at this brewery before we were to go see a band. He got the times sorta off and we ended up late to the show. She was disappointed with him, and rightfully so because it was careless. His response was that ol' fav, "It's fine, it's not a big deal anyway," which would have grated me slightly, but she didn't seem that put off over all, and nothing ever escalated. Later at the show when she wasn't around, he was telling us, "She is fucking pissed. I'm going to hear about it for days." Meanwhile she was having fun, making jokes, and just hanging out. Me and my mates agreed his take on the whole thing was off in our estimation. Curious.

oh gawd no

i dont even keep up with any of my own relationships

 

[stickygirl]

Totally clueless from my own perspective but I hear some interesting remarks. My cousin and wife were talking about a couple they knew and he remarked "I bet she makes him sit down to piss". It conjured an image for me, but as I hate the stink of piss on the bathroom floor I couldn't nod and roll my eyes with him

Soaps? Not my thing - too much shouting.

You could have just put "Lance" in the thread title.

It's about Lance being dangerously obsessed with you and Sean and chippy and Harry.

That just sounds like some fucked up Gone Girl gaslighter shit. Gross.

To answer the questions, nope. I know all the answers. He wears the trousers - I like skirts. He likely compromises more due to our/my family situation and I him dearly for it. I used to make more in a job I hated but now he does - and I get to do what I love.

It would be perfect except for that whole sacrificing of a virgin during the full moon while dancing naked in the woods. I already had the black cat beforehand so that was a bonus.

 

[Sean]

I have to confess to being completely fucking oblivious.

 

[FGB]

No.

Now... When I was younger and more hedonistic I would with an eye on how I could use the information to "ease on in" some pussy.

Man.

I have come a long, long way.

I was a master manipulator...

How I have changed!


I still catch myself watching , thinking...figuring just out of habit.

I can tell you there are a lot of blind, dumb or innocent and way too trusting people everywhere.

And occasionally I see someone prospecting...once in a great while, I might put a word or two in someones ear or just ask a question or two, just to get them thinking about a certain situation or person that needs attention or bears watching.

Mostly I mind my own business, which is fucked up enough to keep me occupied...

 

[silver gurl]

Nope. None of my business what others do.

What a good Christian, you are.

 

[jaF0]

Do you lay awake at night worrying about ...

... why you're laying awake at night?

Yes.

 

[Crownvic]

Don’t know...don’t care....

 

[rockcasbah]

What are the symptoms of obsessive love disorder?

Symptoms of OLD may include:

an overwhelming attraction to one person
obsessive thoughts about the person
feeling the need to “protect” the person you’re in love with
possessive thoughts and actions
extreme jealousy over other interpersonal interactions
low self-esteem
People who have OLD may also not take rejection easily. In some cases, the symptoms could worsen at the end of a relationship or if the other person rejects you. There are other signs of this disorder, such as:

repeated texts, emails, and phone calls to the person they’re interested in
a constant need for reassurance
difficulty having friendships or maintaining contact with family members because of the obsession over one person
monitoring the actions of the other person
controlling where the other person goes and the activities they engage in

 

[jaF0]

Do you lay awake at night worrying about ...

... why the raised bed planter you're working on looks like a weirdly elongated and lopsided coffin?

Yes.

 

[jaF0]

Nope. None of my business what others do.

Or who.

 

[dolf]

No.

How can just one "man" generate so much creepiness?

 

[LukSkyFokker]

How can just one "man" generate so much creepiness?

By not being a man at all.

 

[mayfly13]

It could be related to Lance's interest in the Meghan & cuck saga.
But how can one not?

A vast difference between analyzing and obsessing. I analyze, then let it go. Ain't nunmy how others want to set up and run their relationship.

Now the soaps are another thing entirely, fictional people in fictional circumstances. Hell yes I'll yell at them through the screen! Just like the dumbasses in horror movies.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You can't hide in that basement! There's only one way out FFS! And flouncing your hair and looking cute ain't gonna save you from being the next pile of steaming visrea!"
