Let Down in a Relationship
Started this discussion. Last reply by Steve Canyon yesterday. 19 Replies 0 Likes
Gents, I've been seeing a girl for a little less than a month and she's already let me down big. We're both under the legal drinking age (not by much at this point) but I still disapprove of underage…Continue

Gents,I apologize for yet another thread on relationships. I feel the forum has been full of them lately. Nonetheless, I couldn't find anywhere this topic had been addressed previously.What…Continue
When to throw in the towel
Started this discussion. Last reply by C. Grant Jan 24. 17 Replies 0 Likes
When do you throw in the towel, say "I did my damndest," and walk away? When can you draw the line and give up without sacrificing your principles? I'm talking about politics here but I guess this…Continue
Hot Sauce

What's your favorite? What's the hottest stuff you've ever had (or know of)? What's the best food to put it on?I'd say my favorite hot sauce is Siriachi. Not the most original, but it's not half bad.…Continue

Steve Canyon replied to D.J.'s discussion Let Down in a Relationship"Well, I say she will continue to disappoint you because you have (in my opinion) ridiculous expectations. I can gather from your post that your crazy about this girl because in less than a month of going out, something as trivial as getting…"
Aaron Lancaster replied to D.J.'s discussion Let Down in a Relationship"Good call. Actually college and drinking go together remarkably well. It sounds like you guys have a difference in values. Finish it up now before you both become miserable. Move on, find a nice quiet girl who doesn't drink,…"
D.J. replied to chad's discussion Need girl advice"Read this:
I would say no. But of course I'm not you and I'm not in much of a position to answer that question. YOU should answer it though, if only to yourself. "
D.J. replied to chad's discussion Need girl advice"You love her after all that? I'm skeptical. Sounds to me like she has a lot of baggage and until those problems are resolved (and she grows up; how old is she anyway?) this relationship will stagnate, crash, and burn. I think you'll see in…"

D Whaler replied to D.J.'s discussion Let Down in a Relationship"There is a rule I really like when dealing with anyone, and I often find myself repeating it to myself when my girlfriend and I don't see eye to eye on something:

Daniel Gaston replied to D.J.'s discussion Let Down in a Relationship"+1
And also: Getting drunk occasionally, especially when you are young and with fewer responsibilities and life experience, doesn't make someone a drunk. Not that I think you suggested that, just pointing it out for the OP."
Jack Bauer replied to D.J.'s discussion Let Down in a Relationship"You're awfully high-maintenance and demanding for a boyfriend of three weeks. You're not her freaking babysitter, or her father, or her husband ... so quit pretending she owes you anything more than what she signed-up for (being…"
Daniel Gaston replied to D.J.'s discussion Let Down in a Relationship"Some thoughts:
You are young and not in a committed relationship. She didn't break your trust, because other than some basic ground rules, you haven't yet established a trusting relationship yet.
The two of you obviously…"
Nick H replied to D.J.'s discussion Let Down in a Relationship"I don't see this ending well.
Others have said the same but I'll make thoughts in point form.
- Just what would you consider a good reason vs bad reason to get drunk? I think I would consider being stressed or anger a much better reason…"
Will replied to D.J.'s discussion Let Down in a Relationship"An apology when needed shows, well, something I admire. "Like" this subthread."
Jess Levens replied to D.J.'s discussion Let Down in a Relationship"You know what, I apologize. That was actually really rude. Sorry about that. I don't really think you have that big a problem on your hands, but my response was uncalled for.
