Men and women trying to work this relationship thingy since when?
Ok since the start. How we doing? In USA I think 50% of marriages fail, lots of the ones failing just still together, right?
A better question Jess might be if your SO is breathing, what are your chances?
Seems that might be a better question than what either does for the cash.
Never civie dated a provider, but woulda if I coulda, with a select few.
Why not every other way has about a 80% chance of failing!
Plus my ATF is one hell of a woman, see her as a great friend who is a provider.
Why wouldn't I be interested in more life with a SEXY HOT GREAT GAL, my friend??
DOUBLE DUH?????????????
That gals provide is not their whole life. I would be more interested in OUR connection, our
friendship. One day I won't be this HOT, what then, why would she stay with me then?
Something to think about, right?
And they won't be providers all their lives and at some point they will want something more lasting
and have it with somebody. Right?
Maybe, all I knows I hope they get it. Heck I hope everyone gets what they want. What kind of a
scumbag would I be if I didn't?
And Jess, are Dudes dating providers who have been happily together for years. If so and I think that its true in your experience you just might have not met them? They are there. True or not?
Plus what about the swinging lifestyle ? Does money make it wrong for your gal to blow another dude? How about 5 dudes at a gang bang at a swingers party? Is it only wrong if pay is involved?
Just trying to say I think folks trying to get along or not is not as easily answered with asking providing or not.
You have any idea how rich I would be if I could answer the question of how folks could be successful in relationships? I'd visit ALL of you over and over you suited my taste in women.
If I win lottery and ask my ATF to go live on a beach somewhere, got that money for life thingy
worked out. Yeah when that happens I will let ya'll know how it works out.
How crushing would it be if that happened and she wouldn't go?????? OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Oh ONE, yeah what I have learned is most relationships have trouble because of money. Now was it in trouble anyway and the money issues brought it ought? Who knows?
And TWO when I meet a happy couple older couple been married long time............I always ask what is the secret to your long successful fulfilling relationship?
The answer is always the same......they ALL say, that person over there I been with so long.......... is my best friend.
Maybe one day my dear friend will figure being with me broke or not is a great idea since it is really
friendship that matters most anyways?
Maybe not, if not just enjoy the friendship as much as I can cause it is really great. Plus she is
REALLY HOTT and that is always a plus!!!!! LOL
Anyways, what do know, if I did, would I be here, writing about this, to you, would I ? hehe
Boils down to we are not getting what we desire from the person we want it from, right?
"Wish he treated me like my clients". Well if he did maybe he would not treat you that great that
long. Ever hear familiarity breeds contempt? The cold hard fact is after we are with folks we ALL
start taking them for granted. How bout from the fellas perspective! "Wish my wife banged me
like my ATF"!! Again cold hard truth is if she was your wife for years she probably wouldn't. Right?
Just tough to work it out. I know trying to myself. To love and be loved, what a feeling, right?
From what
I have observed about the relationships that work it out is, they both stick to their commitment.
And recommit when the familiarity breeds the contempt as it most certainly will. That is what it
does. What then, what is the plan?
They both realize the grass is only greener in the other pasture for a period of time. Not watered
it withers away too, at some point. Think that is why friendship is the most important quality in a
long lasting loving mutually supportive fulfilling relationship.
Could get it from someone else, but we want it from them, right? For a time YEP, but then gets to
THAT point, you know where they farted and it is not cute any more? Then what?
Then we are back to basics of all human experience, fear of not getting what we think we need or losing what we think we have to have?
Again most important thing I can say is I have no a CLUE!!!!!!!! Thing that might separate me from
the herd is I know I don't know and I am willing to admit it.
I Concur!
Shifterp Back to the Present!
