One thing that won't happen.....if I'm ever in a relationship again.....

This is my childhood home. It will go to my daughter. Period. The end.


Unless I decide to sell it and write her out of the will...in which case, I will move to Belize. Or Paris. (That's Paris, France, Europe...not Paris, Texas.)

don't use the last of the creamer.
or the last of anything, offer it first.

don't touch my remote.
uh.

i mean share the remote nicely.
having an inoperative decoy remote is
BAD.
BAD.
BAD.

never go to the lumber yard to get fence wood and come home a few hours later with you best bud at your side swearing that home depot was out of lumber
never piss your girl off when you real tired an could sleep threw anything.... you may wake with your toe nails painted

Where I dont have a prob with most things but I will share my kitchen if whom ever im with dosent rearange it..its all where I want it.I know some cutlry is thrown in the cutlery drawer..I ran out of space to put them so in they went anyway they landed.All the knives go in a knife block or on the magnetic strips...please...I know spoken like a grouchy italian chef.

If you do not know/love yourself, do not get involved in a committed relationship...go do your emotional work first. If you do not know who you are then you cannot know what you need or what you have to bring to the table.

DONT do unto the other as you would have the other do unto you!!

:cigar2:

Oh heavens to betsy I agree except don't place the ben gay next to the lube but please please please place the icy hot or ginger next it thank you.

I thought 1 + 1 = 3

I never have understood how someone could be jealous of their partner's pet.

Oh heaven's to betsy please do NOT come out wearing snoopy tighty's and Mr. Bendy then get insulted because I am double over with laughter to tears.

People get jealous over a pet(s)? Really? :|

- don't compare your partner to your ex, or vice versa. everyone is different. and if by god you do, DON'T say it to them. whether good or bad, no one likes hearing comparisons. we don't want to know your ex crosses your mind. at least i don't. some people might not have a problem with it, but i have a big problem with it.

- don't go to bed angry (i mean it!)

- don't offer advice unless asked. sometimes your partner just needs to vent it out.

- don't violate privacy.

- don't forget special occasions (even if they're not special to you, they may be to your partner)

- don't be condescending. you can comment on something without being harsh about it.

- don't use sex as a bribe or punishment

- don't try to change your partner. respect, love, appreciate and cherish them for who they are. that is, after all, why you're with them, yes?

(do communicate, compromise, and have the ability to laugh at yourselves ~ that goes a long way!)

from my "me" place...
 

Don't get into the trap of saying or doing what you *THINK* they want or that you *THINK* you should do.. Like lots have said already.. Communicate so that you *KNOW* and aren't guessing... (has been guilty of the thinking and not knowing thing..)

Don't be a role.. be a person who has a dynamic with another person.. (huge pet peeve..)

The minute you start getting falsely accused of stuff, get out then. Things are not going to improve. It's their issue not yours.

How about the phone call saying "Hey honey...Last night was great...What time does your gf go to work tonight?"

I was like :| ..."I don't think I'm going to work tonight, buddy."

Don't spend the entirety of the honeymoon phase showing her how sexually compatible the two of you are, only to lay the cease and desist order on the nightstand the evening after you both sign papers on the house.

Never confuse needing someone with neediness. One is endearing, the other is obnoxious.

Don't waste your energy on jealousy, snooping or stalking ... there are so many better uses for that energy.

Never forget to tell her how you feel, don't assume she knows and/or it's obvious in the things you do. She wants to hear it AND you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Don't cheat. End it if you're seriously considering it ... and don't forget, the grass is seldom greener.

Don't forget to mention that you have more diagnoses than the DSM-IV.

Off the top of my head....
 

And if she still doesn't return your call, DON'T leave a message on her voicemail saying you're going to call the police to find her if she doesn't call you back.


If She Hasn't Returned Your (countless) Calls, She (obviously) Does NOT Want To Talk To You,

Hm. So that's what they used to cap the oil well.

don't involve somebody's work space!!!
don't threaten to call the parents and divulge shit that is none of their business!!! :readfineprint:

:mohawk:

Fucking needy-ass weeds.

The only thing that is worse than whining is silent pouting. Pissed off at me? Be prepared to say so AND say why. If you can't/won't do that I will presume you are pissed about something REALLY stupid and I won't give a shit.

Exactly. If you cannot accept how much mommy loves her Baby Smelly who is Orange (and when he's not Orange he's White) you're in for a world full of aggravation. Sulking when I dote all over my Baby Smelly will only make me dote all over Baby Smelly even more - my favourite person/pet in the room is always the one who is not sulking.

For fucking real.

I think that's sensible. If only one person has their name on the deed to the house, the person who doesn't have their name on it should NOT be paying 50% of the mortgage and house expenses and what they DO pay needs to be negotiated as rent and there should be receipts given for that each month.

having an inoperative decoy remote is
BRILLIANT.
BRILLIANT.
BRILLIANT.

On the flip side of that, I really cannot fuck someone who I am angry with. It feels dishonest.

EDITED to add: Do not call me at work. I am working.

What not to do?

I will be careful not to be so trusting so fast and give 100% in the very beginning. I have only given 100% once in my entire life.

Once I fell in love way too quickly with a wonderful woman. I fell so fast and out of control. It was not her fault but entirely mine. That only happened one time in my almost 54 years. It won't happen again.

Today, I keep my heart very guarded and have no use for LDR/Online relationships except for platonic.

Happy Friday to all! :)

No secrets. Being an open book goes a long way.

1) stop fussing over the other person and trying to do stuff for them all the time. it smothers them and it suffocates me. who am I, my mom??

2) leave wounded people to bleed somewhere else. I'd much rather have someone that doesn't want me to "heal" them from whatever it is they've gone through. you can get some therapy over there ----> and I'm not your mother. However, if someone is working on their sh*t, I'm more than happy to support them.

3) I am not ever going to be a femme in shining armour again. "you are perfectly wonderful you just need someone to love you enough and all your sh*tty behaviour and bitterness about others and cr@ppy outlook and insecurities will magicly go away!" jesus what an ego I had, I swear.

4) hide my issues. If I fuck up, don't lie about it and hide it.

5) don't let anyone else take over my issues. they are mine to deal with and if you want to help I'll tell you what I need from you... that said -

6) don't freak out when someone calls me on my shit. I need a partner who does this and can do in a way I can hear them.

7) someone who can't be called on *their* shit. That's fucking irritating. go away.

8) think that it's ok they aren't into the same stuff as me. it's totally not. I very much need a companion and best mate as a partner. so that means I need someone who wants to spend a lot of time with me doing things I find fun, important and fulfilling. Not everything but most things.

9) watch my tone of voice, young lady. I used to have a horrible "tone" even though I didn't mean it. I wasn't even aware I did it. I have successfully cracked that.

10) Don't try and have LTR with butches who don't switch. I have tried to fit into other people's sexualities but it's only possible when it's casual short term (<6 months).

While concern for my safety and wellbeing is great, don't patronize me and treat me like I'm incapable of taking care of myself. I assure you, I can and I will.

Yes, same can be said for butch/he/she/whatnot should be like. Individuality is hard for some to separate I suppose.

Please disclose any kind of mental illness, sexual illness, ANY kind of illness early on in the relationship.

No surprise body take overs from your Russian Uncle making you speak tongues and all that or violent outbursts where I am having to dodge candles and the cookie jar cause you forgot to mention you had MPD.

mmm.. Very good one.. I once had an ex that was skitzo-effective (spl).. I didn't know about it until she stopped taking her meds.. WOW.. When your partner seriously shushes you everytime you talk above a whisper *because the neighbors can hear*.. and you can't listen to the radio because of the microphones your boss installed.. Or talk at all when a plane is flying above and they are listening to us.. That is when you know it's getting pretty heavy..

Now, granted, I am still not sure if she *knew* she was that sick or not.. Her dad was sending her "allergy" meds for years until she started wondering why she was taking so many allergy meds.. *sighs*

Full disclouser is a GOOD thing, folks.. If I am going to be your partner, I deserve to know everything that is going on with you that would effect our lives together.

The first time they check your cell phone for texts and you they demand an explanation for all your contacts, they need to GO!

The first time they start nagging about how much caffeine free diet coke you drink or why you iron your jeans...buh bye!

If their Mom thinks its OK to call for no emergency at 5am. Ciao!

and yeah, if they are jealous of the DOG, what can I tell ya.....

Maybe sleeping with them and getting poisoned by the pussy on the first date is not such a good idea. Causes dain bramage. Then by the time you (meaning I) recover it is often too late.

"poisoned by the pussy!"

:giggle:

After reading through all thats been posted,it seems I really dodged a huge pot hole by staying single all these years..holy gosh!!

when having coffee and reading the paper if she says why arnt you LOOKING at me your not even hearing what i say..DO NOT REPLY try turning around.

don't bother going past the hook up stage if you haven't mastered the art of communication.

If you try to go to the bathroom, work, or check the mail and this happens:




You may be in a bad relationship...:seeingstars:

if you ever walk in on THIS, leave.
