KungFuJoe Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 A good partner builds you up, and does not knock you don't. I love this! This really stood out. I went through a bad phase where I was letting my temper get the better of me...had gotten arrested twice in a year...got fired from my job cuz I never went (or when I did go I was late), was fighting with friends, etc. A lot of it was due to frustration from not being able to play basketball anymore (had a serious of nagging injuries) and that used to be my "outlet" for aggression. I remember after a HORRIBLE fight that landed me in a holding cell and not even knowing for sure if my gf (at the time) was going to bail me out or not. She showed up the next day and I was SO sorry and SO happy that she was still there for me. She told me that she knew I was good man...that I just had temper issues that I needed to learn to handle and today, I can easily say that my temper is a LOT better. My wife started her own business about 4 years ago after the company she worked for the last 8 years got bought out. Things were ROUGH for a year. Her company was losing more money that it was making and we were already hurting from the loss of her income from before. We were barely making ends meet...with a mortgage and three kids...and our credit debt was rising. But throughout it all, I always helped her whereever I could (mostly with IT stuff because I have no idea what she does for her company) and I never pressured her or told her to shut it down and find a job. Because, I believed in her. Long story short, she has now had had 3 profitable years in a row (this year breaking 100K in NET sales) and money is no longer an issue for us. Anyways...sorry for the long stories, but what xxoo said is SO true. A good partner builds you up, and does not break you down. 1
Leigh 87 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Bless you, Leigh, this was some funny stuff And bless him, too! When I say he hates it, I am literally talking about utter terror... He fundamentally feels incredibly wrong about women farting in front of him. He just feels absolutely disgusted. It TRULY upsets him when I do it. ...So... The way he handles me doing it, when he begs and pleads with me not to, only for me to . do it and burst out laughing loudly.. You CAN TELL he is not at all thrilled with me doing it but... You know, he NEVEr makes me feel less loved or that the actual relationship is in trouble LOL..... It sounds a little off BUT: this is a telling sign to me, that he is a good boyfriend.

Ok, really, if he hates it so much, WHY do you do it? He may be a great bf but you can't a great gf
Leigh 87 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I also found that if your self-esteem is going down, you are in the wrong relationship. Actually, his ex best friends, 3 of them, thought I was too ugly for my boyfriend, and told everyone that they mentioned me to. Needless to say: my self esteem got a little worse than usual....... I went from guys thinking I was hot most of the time, to..... feeling ugly and disgusting after all:( GLad Andrew is no longer friends with those horrible people:mad:
Leigh 87 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Ok, really, if he hates it so much, WHY do you do it? He may be a great bf but you can't a great gf Oh, 98% of the time I DO NOT do it! I mean geez, I DO want him to have sex with me, and be attracted to me:lmao:
MyPoutine Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Be satisfied with what you have, this applies to both sides. If you are not it will show and your partner will pick up on it. If you are happy with what you have I think most of the time you will work to make them happy and resolve conflicts etc.
