hopelessromantic29 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Ok... so I'm just curious. Does anyone think that the way the media portrays "love" is just bull? I mean... are the "rules" real? Guys...when you really like a girl and think that she is the one, are mountains not high enough for you climb? Girls.... if you really truly love a man, is everything he put you through not enough? Think about how Big treated Carrie. I mean...come on. All the BS she went through, and he even left her at the altar! BUT she loved him, and wanted him anyway. Any thoughts?

Guys...when you really like a girl and think that she is the one, are mountains not high enough for you climb? Girls.... if you really truly love a man, is everything he put you through not enough? Think about how Big treated Carrie. I mean...come on. All the BS she went through, and he even left her at the altar! BUT she loved him, and wanted him anyway. Any thoughts? I really did think no mountain was high enough for my ex. In fact, I remember a time when I went to vegas for a bachelor party. My ex knew I was going to go and I told her WEEKS in advance. Well... when I was at the strip club, my friends paid for a lap dance for me (and it was just that one). Afterwards, somehow, my ex called me as soon as I stepped out of the strip club... as if she had cameras there and was like, time to call. She began to ask me how the night was, how the strip club was, and if i got a lap dance. She went BALLISTIC and became an emotional wreck. I kept trying to apologize to her and say it meant nothing (really, i didn't even get turned on) and she's the only one I've ever had an attraction for. Well, she hung up on me and wouldn't pick up my phone calls or respond to my text messages. So guess what i did after? I went to sleep as soon as i got back at the hotel, left the next morning at 5 am, picked up my sister at my brothers pad in vegas because i had to drop her off at my parents house in LA, and drove 600 miles up to nor cal to apologize to her face to face and show her how much she meant to me (i also showed up with flowers and booked my own hotel room to spend the next day with just her, but had to drive home that night for work the next day). All in all, i drove 4-5 hours worth of a drive in 2 1/2 hours (obviously speeding) back to LA, drop off my sister, and drove straight to nor cal within 4 hours, which usually takes 6-7 hours. I only spent 6 hours with her in the area that day and had to drive back to LA... Yup, and I still got dumped. Im pretty damn sure she doesn't remember this incident at all. OH, and she went to study abroad in another country a while back and complained that the people she was with wouldn't want to do what she wanted to do. She said she missed me because i was always down to do what she wanted. So i bought a ticket to go there for about 2 weeks just so she had someone to do everything she wanted to do with, without any complaints. YUP... Trust me, there are guys out there that will move mountains for you. I did, but she doesn't remember any of it. sigh... Edited July 25, 2012 by ihateslowjams
Ruby65 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Movies, tv, literature, music, theater -- they all portray the human condition. They don't create it. There's no point blaming "media" as people have been creating stories and legends since the dawn of time. You want to blame Shakespeare for teenage suicides or Sandra Bullock movies for why someone takes back their cheating ex? I think in the case of Carrie and Mr. Big, in the end she demonstrated the importance of going NC and finally moving on. He demonstrated that an ex WILL move mountains to get back together with a person they really do want to be with. What you DON'T see in movies and tv are the love stories where the ex consistently treats the dumpee like crap but the dumpee continues LC or tries to be "just a friend" or scrambles after breadcrumbs in the hopes of one day changing their mind.... because that isn't really love and everyone knows it.... until they get dumped! The question is, why is it so easy to settle for so little when you've been dumped? We NEED "the evil media" to keep reminding us what it is we SHOULD be striving for in life, even if for many of us it's just an unattainable ideal at times, and not to settle for breadcrumbs -- ever, from anyone. 2
Sugarkane Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I agree. As with Carrie and Mr Big that really annoyed me at the end. I thought she deserved better. And the more unavailable Mr Big was it kind of seemed the more she wanted him. Because they were so on and off for so long, I just wanted them to end! And it was funny how with her other ex she still had what ifs/ regrets when he married someone else and had a baby.
