She didn’t hold it over me or anything but it was painfully obvious that I lost some respect during that time.


Can you expound a little on what exactly she did that indicated she lost respect?

FWIW I agree with you by and large: women need security and stability because they generally lack it on their own and if you are going to be vulnerable you better know the state of your woman beforehand. But I also think if you consistently provide that to her, infrequent and brief periods of struggle shouldnt diminish your standing.

Emotional distance, treating me with kid gloves, coddling, not letting me do my normal tasks. Just treating me like it was fragile.

I was in a pretty bad space but I could still function day to day.

It’s all good now, I have better methods to cope and set some boundaries at work.

But I will still never let the veneer slip again.

"Can you be quiet?

You do realize you sound crazy right now, don’t you?

Have you gained weight?

Do you want anything to eat?

Whose truck was that in your driveway?"

You can add in my personal favorite, "Did you run out of makeup?"

In a bout of frustration I exited myself from a FWB situation. She was an OT8.

She was all drama all the time and one day I just got tired of hearing her drone on about her inane “problems”.

I blurted out “my God! You have more issues than Sports Illustrated.”

And just like that, the benefits were forever lost. The benefit was we remained friends but she never shared her grievances with me again.

Ex-wife: "Have you seen the broom?"

Me, deadpan: "Why, is your car out of gas?"

Anyway, we got divorced within a year or so.

Was messing around with this girl one night and went to take her bra off and she brushed me hand away and I said, “are you Amish or something…?”. And that was the end of that.

Not so much what I said as my timing and tone (desperate and horny - I was going through a divorce and hadn't been laid in about a year!).

On a Monday night, I was in Dallas on business and went to a sports bar to watch the Cowboys. I met up with three women, with one of whom I seem to have hit it off. We traded small talk for a while and seemed to connect. Then I blurted out: "Let's go to my hotel room and do the nasty."

She gave me a dirty look and pointedly ignored me after that. She and her two friends left a half time, and as she was leaving she handed me her card and said "call me."

About two years to the day after that, she and I were married.

"Is your brother gay?"

We had been dating a while and I hadn't met her brother yet. She had been describing him like he was the second coming of Sean Connery as James Bond. When I finally met him he talked like the dude on Will and Grace. She didn't take my question well and it was the start of a long downhill slide.

Of course some time later he leaped out of the closet in a cloud of glitter, to the surprise of no one but his family.

That's how it worked out for me with the first two that said yes..........

Third time is the charm for me-----27 years and still going strong.

Were you having suicidal thoughts at the time? Dancing with a rattlesnake seems less likely to kill you than what you did.

When I was 35 and not ever married yet, I was dating a 23 year old smokeshow for about 6 months. Every aspect was beyond great (not exaggerating at all) except....agreement about religion. I felt that only really mattered in the case of a longer term relationship.

One night in the hot tub we got on the subject and I got a bit too honest about my long term marriage thoughts. The kind of plans and dreams you would say to your best friend in honest moments. Bad idea.

My smokeshow relationship was over the next week, and there was a guy waiting in the wings (timing could be suspect or not) that she ended up getting married to. He is a good dude and they have been married a couple of decades...still see them around.

It worked out great for me as well, but I learned from that event to keep my pie hole firmly shut until I was having a deliberate conversation, NOT just thinking out loud while soaking in hot water after knocking boots.
