Whoa, two threads in two days, this has GOT to be a record for me.

Hey hey hey, this is just me bitching. So my NMBSO (non-monogamous barely-significant other) and I have been bonding over the last few days-- we've finally been discussing the parts of our relationship that have been rough to voice, and he actually took off the stupid little mask of apathy that has been driving me crazy since day one of our relationship.

It's starting to look like I'm in control, and for once, instead of being bored by it I'm falling in love with him all over again. (we've been together, on and off, for something like three years.)

So all of a sudden this weekend-- he doesn't have time to talk to me. Never answering ICQs, always distracted when we talk, very odd for him. So he calls me to wake me up this morning, and it was a pleasant surprise. He tells me there are pics he took last night that he uploaded, and to get online to see them.

So there he is, strutting his stuff in a new leather jacket--

And there are suitcases in the corner.
And a girl's hairbrush and deodorant on the counter.

I mean, Jesus H. Tap-Dancing Christ, I don't CARE if his females come visit him, we have a very open relationship when it comes to that sort of thing. But goddamn, don't males understand that SNEAKING MAKES THINGS WORSE?

If he had just TOLD me when I asked what was keeping him busy, I would have been cool with it. But NOW I get to confront him about something that wouldn't have pissed me off if he weren't ACTING like it was such a big deal by not telling me. I thought we were past stuff like this.

Meh.

Thoughts?

PS: Now he's telling me they're TDY suitcases. I'm not going to bring up the female accoutrements that are also blatantly obvious-- he wants to have secrets, fine. He just lost huge amounts of respect with me, though. *sighing disgustedly*

I'm in a man hating mode right now. So all I can say is they're a bunch of lying scumbags :D


Sorry to all of the ones on the board who aren't :)
 
ARGH!

We're discussing it now.. and FUCK if I don't want to start throwing things.

I HATE MEN. I'm going to become a nun.. or a lesbian.. or a lesbian nun or SOMETHING...

GAH!

I think I'm going to cry. Or kill someone. Or both. I'm shaking I'm so pissed.
 
Aye, I hear you Angel, mores the pitty...

Endlessly... I am sure you don't need a cuddle bear now but if you like I will be around. ;) I work equaly as well as a dart board too, if need be! Heheh!

Aw Eric... Gimmi a hug ya big lugnut!
 
I'm sorry you're going through something so hard. You deserve someone better, who'll be honest with you and have respect for your feelings. And there are good men out there. Ditch that dirtball!

{{{{Endlessly}}}}
 
Ravenloft, if you are going to be exploring your feminine side with the males on the board you are going to have to take pics and send them to me. :p


{{Endlessly}} I know what you're going through. Men can be so sweet and loving and perfect and at the same time they can be such thoughtless assholes.
 
*scruffles back to the corner*
Please dont hurt me, because of my gender.....
Some os us really are assholes and scumbacks. But some of us are really quite nice.....*duck*
 
Okay Angel, but I need a camera woman for the job... What ever shall I do? Where ever shall I go?! Heheh!
 
Holy Shit

A man bashing thread, or should i say men bashing thread.


<slowly and cautiously backs out of thread, preparing to duck>


Have a nice day Ladies.
 
May I ask a question ladies?

In your opinions, were your fathers good men?

I know my mom was a good mom.

*Smiling*

She had to have been to push a little rat bastard like me out! Thank god for the fairer sex!
 
Depends on what you consider "good"

My father cheated on my mother all the time and it caused a lot of strife in our family. But he's a good father, a good businessman... when it comes to relationships I've seen him hurt my mother more than help.
 
Endlessly,

I'm so sorry, sweetie. I know exactly how that feels--I went through the EXACT same scene about six months ago, and it's awful... I hope that things turn out better for you than they did for me. I know I don't really know you, but feel free to email me or send me an IM if you need to talk (info's in my profile)... I really don't mind.

Best of luck.

xx-oo-xx

<----- I have a camera.
 
I feel fortunate that I was growed up the way I was. Mom and sis all week long and dad on the weekends. I honestly din't know anything else so it worked for me. Though now my relationship with my father is practicly nonexistant but thats not so bad really, never really knew him anyway. And from what I hear I wouldn't want to in depth eather! Hehehe! My poor mom, tried her best not to bad mouth him, but we two, my sis and I found out the truth anyway.

What a strain it must have been on her to have to actually defend him against our burgeoning realizations... Though she must have felt none too fond of him she would still try and sway us to not hate him...

And in all honesty, I don't really hate him. We have just become strangers is all...
 
Yay for Angel!

NS? Ren? You up for a photo shoot?!

We gots our camera lady!

Oh GOD I'm in heaven

Wait..I already am.
 
It just might be possible that this isn't the type of relationship that you need right now. I don't want to be the one to tell you something you probably don't want to hear at this point, but for your own peace of mine it might be best to cut your losses. I was in a relationship for a while and my rebound guy and I had that open relationship thing going for us too. Even though he was just a rebound I grew to care for him and it's hard to keep jealousy out of an open relationship. It hurts, because you think why can't he want me enough to have a monogomous relationship, and then you try to convince yourself it's the way you want things to, but it hurts. I eventually realized that I needed to cut my losses. If you want to keep him around because the sex is good just remember your peace of mind is way more important than a piece of ass.
I hope things work out for you.
 
Ack! I'm channeling brazenblaze!

SR-- thanks hon. I swear though, redheads are going to be my downfall someday. Or at least, a gal can dream. ;)


Oi, we're working through it now.. Y'all don't have to believe me if you don't want to, but I would have reacted the same way to any lie, whether or not it involved a female. I just can't stand lying.

Ravenloft, to answer your question: my father provides for my mother and for myself; to that end, I am grateful. Morally, intellectually, and in all other ways I find him to be a reprehensible hypocrite. He does, however, have good hair.

After starting to patch things up with my NMBSO (who will become my VMHSO (very monogamous, highly significant other) once I transfer next year to be with him), I have come up with good guidelines for males who find themselves on the other end of the phone from a screaming woman that they've accidentally lied to, both from my own experience and from talking to my friends.

1: Don't say "I can't believe it, this is one of the first times I've ever lied to you." DO say, "I can't believe it; that was the last time I'll ever lie to you."

2: Be concise. She may hang up on you at any moment.

3: If she hangs up on you, call back. If she hangs up on you a second time, don't.

4: If she's making it into a big deal, don't say "I didn't think this was a big issue." DO say, "I'm sorry and I'll never do it again." (If you try to convince her it was no big thing, you'll just convince her that you'll do it again.)

5: Up the romance level by 100-200% for the next three to five days after she finally takes your sorry ass back.

It's really quite simple. :D

Because you know, lesbians are always respectful and honest.

By the by, maybe he isn't seeing anyone. Maybe he put those in the picture on purpose to mess with your mind and regain a bit more control over the relationship.


Now, am I the only woman who always likes 'man'kind?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :cool: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Endlessly you are so amazing...

I don't know WHY men play mind games ... but they do.

I will write more here later... I am having my own guy problems and I am afraid they will clout my judgement and you deserve better.

Love ya!
