Have you ever been in a "you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't" situation with a wife or girlfriend?

I have. It was weird.


Years ago my wife got upset with me over "staring" at her. So I stopped. Then she got angry with me for not "staring" at her.

Thankfully she's grown up a bit since then.

Welcome to the wonderful brain of a female, most females’ are never satisfied or happy for a long period of time because her brain is wired different from a guys’ brain , Her brain is racing with a 1000 things at one time when a guys’ brain doesn’t come close. On top of that she has hormones that go out of wack from time to time , and she is more than likely suffering from anxiety and depression. One minute she is happy and the next she is miserable and grumpy. So as long as she isn’t bringing constant misery into your life , you should be ok , but if she is bringing constant misery into your life? Then you are best to move on from her crazy ass

People who are like this are most of the times narcissists at best. If she’s not doing that kind of stuff anymore. Then good.

You will notice with some people that you will never be good enough for them if doesn’t matter what you do. There will be something wrong with it. It’s like…. You need to work more so we can have money. But you work more and you’re a workaholic and don’t spend enough time with me or your family.

But it will all be one sided. Any time you express your wants/needs to that person. They will shut you down

Navigating the stormy seas of love, aren't we? Ah, the classic "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. It sounds like you were performing a delicate dance between giving attention and respecting boundaries. Trust me, you're not alone in this ballroom. Many have waltzed to this tune. The key here, as you've noticed, is that growth and communication are the secret steps to mastering this dance. It's all about finding that sweet spot of attention that makes your partner feel cherished without feeling overwhelmed. Keep those lines of communication open, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourselves in a synchronized routine that leaves no room for missteps. 😄 Remember, it's all a learning process in the rhythm of relationships!

Closest thing I can think of was a couple years back when I told my girlfriend at the outset of the relationship that I was moving to WA in a year and a half. We planned the relationship as being more of a temporary thing, but we fell in love and when it came time for me to go she got upset. I asked her to come with me and she said she couldn't even though she could. So I could stay and she would lose respect for me as I changed my life plans for her losing her slowly, or I could leave and lose her right away. I chose the latter.

Lol every day I even think about flirting with a woman I remind myself "I'd just be wasting my time and or ruining my reputation" you know - no one likes the awkward cringe walk of "oh I have a boyfriend" and it's like "chuckles, okay, have a nice day" and proceed walk of "cringe shame" haha so I figured now at 30 - I just keep to me

It's okay folks, old paledreams here is used to it and I carry my stride merrily ♂️ 🎉🥳 as a man

Quite the trick situations huh? No, I haven't been in such trick situations with any girl. But then again I haven't had any girl being in love with me anyway to tell the story.

I love them I really do but women do stupid shit. For instance one of my hallways in my house has I light in the the ceiling. The light bulbs burned out. So I go buy a pack of bulbs my wife volunteers to replace the lightbulbs but she only replaced one out of two. So I asked her why did she replace only one? She said one was all she needed even though the lamp takes two lightbulbs.

Tons of times with my first ex. Most toxic relationship I've been in.

Women intuitively specialize in this. Highly annoying.

[LiamJHayden]

Yeah, but I don't play those games so ended it.

Something like that.
