A Definition Worth Reviewing Before Your Next Date

Sometimes the basics help all men:

"It seems like there's times a body gets struck down so low, there ain't a power on earth that can ever bring him up again. Seems like something inside dies so he don't even want to get up again. But he does."

Makes me wonder if the PHD’s were writing about women all along

This is textbook my mother-in-law. She crossed the line tonight though with her control-freak manipulation and so I called her out in front of my wife. The shock on her face was priceless as she attempted to feign ignorance. She’s a pathological liar like my sister-in-law just head of my wife in birth order. I can’t wait ’till my kids are both 18+

I was spending the day with a woman once who, as we were shopping for groceries for me to prepare for the evening, mentioned wanting us to go see her sister. I agreed that we could plan something for later in the week but that I needed to go home and tend to some things then I was going to make us dinner.

When we got to my place and I was half-way through my project, she told me that we should leave then if we wanted to get to her sister’s place by 8pm. I explained to her that we had already agreed on a plan for the evening and then she spent the next five minutes trying to convince me that we had agreed to go to see her sister that night and that we’d been discussing it all day.

Finally I told her “I think you’ve been speaking with your sister and planning this with HER all day, but we only spoke of it once and I said later in the week. Of course, you could show me your message thread with your sister and prove me wrong…” to which she responded “You just don’t want me to see my sister!”

Wow, that escalated quickly. I just turned and went back to tending to my business and didn’t answer. Furious, she stormed out of the room and went to the front door and announced that she was going to leave. I told her she was free to stay or to go as she pleased and that I was going to finish my work and start making dinner either way.

She collected her things, walked out the door and left and I never saw her again. Five days later she texted me and said “I guess your silence tells me how important our relationship is to you.” to which I replied “As far as I am concerned, our relationship ended the moment you chose to walk out my door rather than stay and work things out with me like an adult.”

I never heard from her again after that.

If a woman tries to manipulate you, shut her down immediately. If she persists, terminate your association with her as quickly and cleanly as possible. That’s all there is to it.

That was an ultimatum s~~~ test. She put her entire f~~~ing relationship in distress and on-the-line over a s~~~ test!! Her ego and pride were so elevated that she sabotaged the entire relationship. What a f~~~ing dumb ass. I had a similar experience recently, but the girl tried to make me jealous instead. Put everything on the line to test me. I passed and we haven’t spoken in nearly three weeks.

You were right to let her go. Women who are that out of control with emotion during problems will never change.

If it costs you your peace of mind, then it is too expensive.
