lilmoma1973 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 What exactly does high maintance mean? Isn't it someone that no matter what you do for them they are never happy? I know that they can have a very demanding personality...
SmoochieFace Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Demanding, especially in the material department.
slubberdegullion Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Materially demanding, nothing's ever good enough, stingy with feelings. Part of the "gimme gimme gimme" culture.

Glad you said that Smoothie my h called me high maintance but im not materalistic at all because if that was the case, i would want to move out the place we have and get some high dollar house we can't afford like my h wants to.. I asked for a oil change and this is what i got called .. I thought it was also people wanting only the high dollar things also..
JS17 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 You guys are forgetting emotionally high maintenance. I think you have to distinguish between materially high maintenance and emotionally high maintenance.

slubberdegullion Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Emotionally high maintenance usually is called something else, like "whiny b!tch" or "irrational broad" or just "general painintheass."

Roflmao!! I ask my h to go things for me and he wants it done then but when it comes to me the family comes last oppose to everything else.. I always do what is asked of me I gues that is why he called me that.. I am a strong independent woman and will say what i feel and my h wants me to be mousey ... I think bitch means strong and independent personally!!
JadeStar Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 That link I provided didn't really work to go where I wanted so this is what I got from what I read about it. Most people think that high mainatence means someone who likes high dollar things, such as cars, jelwery, clothes etc, materalistic things but theres other forms of high maintence. Some high maintence people can suck the life out of you. They can have high expectations that sometimes can not be meant in reality. They are never happy or satisfied with anything anyone says/does. It doesn't always mean they require materialistic things but do require attention. Someone thats more "low maintence" may find it difficuult to live with or deal with a "high maintence" person. Hope that helped explain it some. Jade
