Not sure if one already exists and I'm too lazy to look!





My ex finished with me when I got too old for him! (I turned 17 and he was 27) Slightly perverted? YES!

(I was sleeping with my future husband behind his back anyway and don't regret a moment because, 4yrs later, we are still together. Comments and stories please......... biggrin

Thanks for your input guys. I really want to break away from him but I don't know how to. If I tell him why he won't be phased and that will upset me more. I don't think I'm strong enough to completely ignore him and delete his number and MSN etc. Like I said...it's like I settle for the bad ones to pass the time until someone better comes along... frown

.All things are beautiful if we take the time to look.

You do know how too. You just have to accept that being alone is definately better than being treating this way, Steph. Your a gorgeous person and he doesn't deserve your affection because he doesn't care for you. Which is seriously bad for your self esteem and soul.
The fact that he wont be phased if you tell him you don't want to see him just proves how little his respect for you is... girl you have to let it go!!

Break away because you want to break away, not in the hope that you're going to get some visible reaction from him. Given how you've described how he's been: Of course he's not going to show you that.

You need to be getting yourself away from him hun.

You're worth so much more that the way he's treating you.

I'm a bad partner...no doubt about that. I can be such an emotionally available friend, but when someone crosses the line into 'more than just friends' my disposition and feelings change. I'm aware of it and I'm not proud, which is why I have elected to stay single for so long now as I am hoping to sort it out.

What I will say , just maybe come at the whole issue from a different angle, is that my spiteful actions are compulsive, even though I am aware of what I am doing.They do not make me happy (quite the opposit) and it kills me everytime to know that I have knowingly hurt someone because I'm afraid to be honest, or tak about things that bug me.

I think I am this way because 1) My feelings for people have been based on my interpretation of what society tells me I should do or feel, so I'm largely confused about what I feel most of the time. 2) I am in essence afraid to be alone (which is why I have forced myself to be alone and to become comfortable with that). 3) I do believe that infact I am already inlove with someone,or the idea of someone at least who I can never have and why all my little 'relationships' are so disposable.
So I elect to remain alone now until I can sort my [censored] out , but before now, I did hurt a fair few people, and I kew I did.I didn't set out to hurt them, but in dealing with my own deamons perhaps things were not handled in the correct way.

All I'm saying is that all these ex-partners that have been bad, probably had their own issues that they were dealing with, and it made no difference what you did or didn't do, the end result would have been the same. I know it's hard to think about when someone you really cared for suddenly seems to be a hartless stranger, but I have a hard time believing that there are so many evil people in the world, I suppose thats because I know so many lovelly ones who mess up a lot too. Yes things could be handled better most times, but just because they werent doesnt mean they were intended to hurt. Pride and fear have very ugly masks.

hugs to all.

Strugz, don't you already have a c*nt? His name is Keith right?

I keep saying this but there is hope you yet. hug



Blu - that is spot on summary of what I feel like in terms of choosing a partner. I am VERY picky with who I want in a 'relationship'. The idea of being with someone ends up being more appealing than actually being with someone. My standards are considerably less for 'other things' but I can't bring myself to be a slag. So like you I prefer not to inflict myself on other people because I know that whatever I start will have a limited shelf-life. Due also that I am someone who sees the beauty in everyone and end up feeling guilty the person I'm with isn't the one I really want.



It would be ideal to say that 'you shouldn't feel how society tells you to feel', but after years of listening to the general consensus of what you should do in a relationship and being unable to match that tends to get you down.



In short, I want the best for me, but I feel my idea of the best is not realistic and seems to demean everyone else and be somewhat arrogant on my part. (Sample thoughts - 'how can anyone be a match for the weird and wonderful world of Dave?' and 'anyone who is like me tends to bore me or makes me think 'is this what I sound like?' ) therefore I don't deserve the best....



Therefore I need to be able to stop the love/hate relationship I have with myself before I can have an actual relationship with anyone else.

roarfire-get away, it will crush you but if he hasn't invested enough to get hurt when you leave, why would you want to be around a person like that? Mean people suck. You will get through it

exbf not exbf-talked through things and we both have things we need to work on, we'll see if we do and how it improves our situation

porn is a fantasy, but not everyone can distinguish the difference. Personally, I don't like it when they want to try the stuff they saw and want you to act the way she acted. used to not mind porn but now I really don't like it

I love the way you put it Blu - it's never a black and white thing.

I'm a bad partner and my man is a bad partner - together we kind of balance things out! He adores me and would worship the ground I walk on, but he's quite emotional and just can't quite manage to get his own act together, so he relies on me far too much to do things, to the point of being a bit dependant on me.

I on the other hand have a stupidly independent streak that means I freak out if I feel like I'm relying on anyone, so I tend to keep things bottled up and can get a bit resentful if I feel like other people are relying too much on me.

We both love each other loads, but it is a strange relationship! We wind each other up a lot, it can get quite tense. I sometimes wonder if we'd be better off by ourselves or with different people, but at the end of the day neither of us wants to walk away just yet and I'm not sure if we ever will... love is strange!

I'm terrible as a partner, I always expect FAR too much from people.. I seem to measure people up againts what *I* would do and that isn't fair really as each person does things in their own way..

My ex was a lazy sod.. depsite saying that he loved me every 5 minutes, he never actually *showed* me, words are all well and good - but it's the actions that make the difference.

Also a bit about the porn thing - personally I don't like it either.. it's all so fake and over blown - it's not what a real sex it for me..

I honour you as an aspect of myself..

You are never to old to storm a bouncey castle..

the reason i think i'm so into porn is it's what i grew up with, i didnt have a gf til about 16 and didnt have sex until i was 18 so i went 18 with only porn so you could possibly call it a comfort thing for me. and about it being a fantasy, thats exactly right, there isnt a whole lot of difference fantasizing about wimmin then actually getting to see em.

I personally think it is a personality thing. Some people are (sorry to use the term and no offence meant to anyone) prudish then others and it isn't a gender thing. I like porn and I have had partners who got upset if I looked at it alone. I see carnality (is that a word? No? Is now!) and love as separate things that regularly cross paths but are most certainly not the same thing. If you have one you don't always require the other. I may not be explaining myself very well here but the subject is very complex anyway.

I can really relate to this and it drives me mad! The problem with my partner is that I can't really call him lazy, he works so much overtime in his job that he often does 45 - 50 hour weeks and ends up too tired to help me out with the housework etc. He's always saying 'I'll do it later on' or 'I'll do it tomorrow', but then he doesn't. I know his intentions are good, but there is a reason they say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions!

Sometimes I'd rather he just turn round and say 'no, I can't be arsed to do it, I'm tired' instead of making excuses and claiming he'll do it later.

rolleyes I'm going to stop ranting about this now! I could go on and on...

45-50 hours a week rolleyes he's at home more than me! hug

maybe me and him should do a job swap!. I'm out of the house for a minimum of 14 hours a day... not that I mind, I never get to do what I want when I'm at home so the less time I spend there I'm more at peace in my mind, but then that causes problems too... for some of us it's a now win situation.



Most of the guys that I work with, work less hours than me, most of us are married with babies, every ones wives moan that if they work overtime then they're always out of the house and never at home, and if they don't work overtime than they don't have enough money!.



Some times I wonder what it is that were meant to do.



I'm kind of lucky, I don't get moaned at for working long hours, I get moaned at because I'm English and my in-laws don't understand any thing about me the racist c***s! they just like interfering and creating me problems that don't exist.

As for the porn, if you want to try out new things you have to get the ideas from somewhere... porn, erotic literature, other partners, talking to mates etc. If I assume that most people on here who aren't into porn wouldn't want their partner to discuss details of their sex lives with his/her friends or turn to other people for new experiences, that doesn't leave much room for them wink

Sure lots of people are happy doing a limited routine, and others have lots of experience already. But I don't see what's wrong with looking for "inspiration" when things get a bit dull, and fulfilling your partner's fantasies by going along with a few new things.
