Search Results: can a guy ever change

Especially like myself, I've tried to learn as much as I can from my aging old man (while he's still as active and as mobile as any other average person, no walker and no cognitive decline, slight hearing loss perhaps?) from things like automotive maintenance, general maintenance around the house. To save on paying trades and paying others to do work some can do themselves "the basics" of course, nothing involving things best left to the professionals and the experts aka qualified people. I just mean basics like anything from basic car oils and basic maintenance, through to those chores you just learnt with life experience or being shown. Anyways, I liked having a slight sob today in the shower, just thinking how I'm now 30s and it's nice to still appreciate "a slight sob" from time to time to appreciate one's own ego mixed with others eventual mortality (aging) like whenever the day is (and however old I am myself) if my old man ever declines (put into a home) or passes away from old age. Yeah...😭😅 It's as much reflection as much as still appreciating while I've got what I've got before it's ever gone whether long time or short time, who ever knows as they say what's behind any curve or stray corner. Anyways 🧐 especially as I'm still 30s and, sure, to a degree I've been 'spoonfed' a lot until the last couple years after Covid I've been wanting to appreciate (which I already was) how time passes by. Especially 2022 onwards, the irony of the Queen not even making it to 100, sigh. Anyways. It's like extending car longevity, as another used car is still pricey compared to maintaining an existing with regular servicing by professionals and oil changes when due, new parts not unreliable ones. Etc. no advice lol - I've never wanted to be "that guy" who's been cotton wooled too often and couldn't take over the farm from day 1, there is no farm, yet you get the meaning, and life is so unpredictable, it's comforting to feel more educated than starting from scratch

Me (26) and my girl (25) been together over 6 years, first year we were together she cheated on me very cold heartedly. On New Years I was supposed to work the day after so I couldn't make it but my boss let me off last minute so I surprised her at the bar she was going to with her "friends" caught her rubbing her ass on a guy, beat the shit out of him & got kicked out & wait outside the bar 4 hours til it closed and she walked past me with him and went home with him, I went to her house to grab my shit and he answered her door in just underwear. Traumatic af. Day after she came to my house to apologize and for me to break up w/ her and while she was crying in my washroom I went through her phone (she'd cheated on me multiple times with multiple people & fucked him before I beat him up in his hotel room & also secretly had a STI, I tested and didn't have it). Broke up & I hated her for months. Got back together via seeing her at a bar and hooking up, I stated no guy friends, no going out past 1, no hotels w/out me. Years have past and things have been smooth & live together, she's in Law school now & ever since she got in Law school she has forgotten all my boundaries. She's going out to parties and friends houses until 5am, she went on a school trip to a big hotel (majority of the students in her class didn't go too) for over a week (wouldn't text me until the noon after every day) & she has a Mexican girls trip now planned for this summer. I don't want to control her, I feel silly enough and honestly our past haunts me & she knows this because I've made it extremely clear but I don't trust her in those situations and personally I feel like it's avoidable to stay out every weekend until 4-5am & I would be down to go on trips with her too. Is it fair boundaries that If she can't change her current habits of hers I've mentioned given out past or is that unfair?
