OT: And the rodeo comes to a glorious stopFollow

So how does a single well-to-do guy get hooked up with this sort of thing?


Just kidding.

Kinda

It's stories like these that make me wonder if my current relationship will truly last... it's my first serious one, with our one year anniversary coming up in a couple weeks. I am devoted to her fully, but occasionally I do something really stupid and upset her, and it makes me feel horrible... and it causes me to wonder if we're really meant to be together. I know no relationship can be perfect, but sometimes I just wish that I could be a little bit better boyfriend.

The bolded parts are what will get you through life. You are obviously a sensitive and caring guy if you realize that you are devoted and feel badly for doing something to upset her. Sometimes I am sure you don't even realize that it could remotely upset her, am I right? Women are delightfully strange creatures that men try all their lives to figure out, but never will. (Us women don't even know why we get upset/act like that sometimes. :P)



That is the best part of your post. If you continually try to be the best and realize that you and the relationship can't be perfect, but you try as hard as you can to make it that way, You're set. Not sure how old you are but I think you're doing a pretty good job and are mature enough to realize what you do wrong and how to avoid doing it over again. I really applaud you for your sensitivity and caring of your girlfriend. Kudos to you.

Haha, monogamy.

No but seriously, I feel your pain. It's tough. Pick yourself up though, brush off the dust, and walk like no one saw you fell. It happens.

Quor, she thought you were having an affair with an anime character?

Oh, didn't know the word "cosplayer" so I thought she just drawed a good Aerith (saw Deviant Art mentioned and thought "art = drawing").

I've used the same exact thing as my laptop's wallpaper before, I don't feel so bad now.

It's good to have a feeling that someone out there cares like that for you, which is the good part of the relationship. Sure it sucks if things end abrubtly, but like I said beofre you at least have to try.

I've been there too and let me tell you man, stay single while you are young. I hooked up with a girl my senior year in high school and we were together for 3 years. I missed out on a lot of crap my 1st 2 years in college cause she was extremely paranoid about me cheating and didn't want me going to parties. I catered to her and things were great......but. We both changed, I became depressed and a big prick and she became more and more of a nagging woman.

We weren't happy, we broke off our relationship and moved off to the same college and tried to stay friends but it was too hard especially when we would hook up with other people. She still calls me occasionally when her new boyfriend cheats on her or tells her he really doesn't love her (seriously) and I've just stopped answering altogether.

I am happier now than I have ever been, once you get comfortable with women it is so easy and simple to find one to hook up with or that you like and would potentially date. (please don't get too angry ladies, you know you've met the type of guy that you were just intrigued by. And you ladies do the little things to get what and who you want too!)

Being confident and charming makes a man very appealing to girls (not too confident though), you've got your '1st times' out of the way, but every time you meet a girl there will be a whole new set of first times. Just look at it this way, they are a human being just like you and are looking for the same stuff you are.

High school parties and big colleges are a breeding ground of social opportunity. /Cheers to the good times my man!

**Side note, I once met a preacher who did the whole Russian mail-order bride thing and omg she was the most visually stunning woman I've ever seen and her accent was hot as hell

It sucks when a relationship comes to an end, no matter how long you've been together (I split up with my fiance about 16 months ago after 6 and a half years together). Still, it's really good that you're looking on the bright side and learning from the experience. Good luck with future relationships :)
