Tag Archive 'bad relationships'

I can look at a woman and just know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she would be a miserable person to date. I’ll know that her life is out of control and she’s wildly unstable and prone to massive mood swings. I’ll know that she’s manipulative and an absolute master at [...]

It’s just not enough

I guess just one move can change the way people look at you, it happened with Tiffany and her brief fascination with Sean Bean. I suppose that all a guy has to do to get noticed is get stabbed and then calmly go back into the bar and order another drink. Which makes sense [...]

Does Love really matter?

A while ago I think I was in a relationship with a women. I say, “I think” because I’m not entirely certain. You see, she was a little flippant with regards to being considered “in a relationship” and would mysteriously dump me at random intervals. We seemed to be perfect for each other. [...]

“It’s not you, it’s me”.   That has the stigma of being a lie used to let someone down easily.   But there may be a lot more truth to that classic line than you realize.  Breaking up is typically not easy.   At least not for the person who is being dumped.  The person [...]

Sometimes Mike and I seem to be speaking two very different languages, but I don’t think it’s because he uses blue type and I use pink.  I think it’s just that we’re two very different people with very different ideas about things.  Today, I encountered one of those differences that proves that differing views don’t [...]

In his last post, Mike wrote about people “staying together for the kids”, and how it often doesn’t turn out to be good for the kids or anyone else involved.  I agree, but I think his reasoning (though very common) is way off base.  This is an issue I’ve had cause to consider in great [...]

I thought that I was happy.   Or, at least, I thought I was putting on a good illusion of being happy.  Whichever it was, I didn’t want my kids to know that my marriage was draining the life out of me and leaving just a hollow shell.   I nearly had myself fooled and [...]

The rush to intimacy

Tiffany once told me that physical intimacy is like a placebo, an illusion of real intimacy.   I’ll be the first to admit that I immediately thought she was wrong and just being…girlie.   How much more intimate can you be than being “intimate”?   However, my obsessive brain and habitual recreational thinking lead me [...]

Losing that personal touch

Something very strange occurred to me as I was leaving the store.  I realized that I had just gone into the store, picked up a few items, paid for them and didn’t speak a single word to anyone.  With automated checkout lines, this is now possible.  Human interaction is slowly becoming a thing of the [...]
