  1. not to get all self-help and shit, but in general my wife and i are really happy together. same sense of humor, same values or lack thereof, and it works. she's also remained thin and takes care of herself after 3 kids which sounds shallow, but sex life is a big part of the equation.

    been together 12 years (since i'm 20 and she's 21) and known each other for 19.

    i think most people:

    -front and pretendto be someone else

    -get desperate and marry whoever

    - change

    this is what makes it so hard, i think. i know lots of people who married the wrong person after having the right person and not knowing it or it not being the right time.

    i definitely think jumping into a relationship can be very straining. jeff and i have been together for 8 months, and have lived together for 4 of those 8 months. we jumped into our relationship thinking it was going to be i love you, candy, and streamers everyday-but we've learned to meet in the middle... and even though we're still learning a lot about eachother, we both know what we need to do to make it work. it's nice to be able to talk to your boyfriend/gf/husband/wife about the things that they do to bother you and not have them jump down your throat. i'd be lying to say that we haven't had any large issues, concerns, or doubts-but if you want to be with someone you learn to make it work. sometimes that also means NOT telling the person you love that what they're doing is bothering you and just putting up with the person for who they are. i really enjoy spending everyday and every night with jeff. when i wake up in the morning and see him there, i'm relieved and excited to start another day with him. he makes me mad, upset, and sometimes jealous-but he's a good boyfriend and does all he can to make me happy. when you find something like that, you just work past the bullshit.

    edit: and learn to be happy, because you have someone to lean on through all situations.

  2. I think relationships are struggles for power whether you're conscious of it or not.

    Why are people afraid to be the first to say "I love you" then? Because they don't want to cede power, because they're afraid of being the first to give too much.

    I admit, I made a brief statement that really generalizes things and I think it will require a long discussion that I am not sure I am prepared to get involved in. But consider this: how many times have you seen a person act a bit standoffish in a relationship, which simply makes the other person more needy, which simply deepens the predicament? I know I've seen this more times than I care to count.

    how often do those relationships last until death do them part?

    edit: i just know that you don't get into a relationship to struggle to be heard or understood... if i wanted that i'd marry sufu.

  3. I agree somewhat....

    the most successful marriages i've seen always have one person who is more dominant and the other is more submissive.......

    but do you not feel that is simply the personalities of the two people married... or even a learned lifestyle between the two?

  4. Relationships are basically struggles for power...........

    i disagree. a CONTROLLING and NON ACCEPTING relationship is a struggle for power, but why spend time with someone who is constantly fighting you for the right to be heard? nothing is ever accomplished, and the "relationship" eventually ends. then, you find someone who you can meet in the middle.

  5. every person has confidence issues. men are simply more reserved about them (i.e. controlling, chauvinistic, rude...etc.)

    i think one of the main issues people find in their relationships is the inability to accept the other person for who they are; which can lead to major communication errs.

    in my opinion, your boyfriend/girlfriend is going to get under you skin about something one way or another-and it's up to you to decide if you're willing to handle yourself in those situations. obviously everyone is different, but you found something to love/really like in your boyfriend/girlfriend and you just need to weigh out the pros and cons of the relationship.

    relationships are difficult and require a lot of selflessness from both ends. i think everyone can find a way to communicate and meet in the middle if they want to actually solve the problem.

    I'm not sure exactly of what you mean.. although, that problem comes from me. I am the one feeling like that, it's not him that makes me feel that way. it's just that hearing him speaks sometimes and reading some stuff in the past makes me feel "not okay".

    i know EXACTLY what this feels like... all the words you read to his ex girlfriends are words that you've heard before... and you almost feel as if they're not genuine anymore. unfortunately, there is nothing to make this feeling go away but to realize that you're the one he is with right now. most men are unoriginal in their tactics to make women feel good about themselves. they say one thing that made one woman feel really good, and they say it to every woman from there on out. i don't feel it's a lack of originality as it is just the way they feel about women when they're in love. i'm sure that he shows his love to you differently then he did to these other girls and has learned from his past mistakes. the worst thing you can do is be down on him for what he has done in his past or to criticize the paralleling compliments/poems/words of affection said to past girlfriends, because if he didn't want to be with you-he wouldn't.

  6. hhhhhh21.jpg

    i see london, i see france... :P

    at least you were tasteful about showing your undies... i just lifted my dress!

    and i like the boots... but they're a little light... i think black booties may look cuter. and i love your dress.

  7. saw the bodies exhibit for the second time today... the babies in the jars are still crazy interesting, and i took a better look at the woman's anatomy and got grossed out... oh, and i held a human brain. has anyone else gone? i highly recommend it...

  8. Jeff and dani banned too?

    i think jeff was banned and dani has been nowhere to be seen.
    I'm sure when he comes back jeff and/or dani will be back on new names to try and "call people out"

    i'm right here... i just don't get on everyday... i mean, it IS the weekend. go do something, guys. stop standing around in gossip circles, like a bunch of junior high bitches.

  9. yeah for reals. how can bitch even say that shit? whitney never even posted a face-pic.
    dani,

    you need to apologize to whitney.

    ...see, i'm not even GOOD at talking shit. i'm just not a mean-spirited person. i came here to learn, but in a respectable manner... you can't just talk to people like that and expect a humbled reaction.

    edit: minus my first few posts. you'll have to excuse me for being a cwg.

  10. hahahaha

    cry me a fucking river or spit on my cock. you're not the first and certainly not the last.

    you brought this upon yourselves. if you and your boy make a pubilc formal apology, i might just find it in my way to let you exist (again).

    oh jmatsu, almighty king of superfuture (the trash, namely)-please find a place for me in your heart.

  11. man, i made a mistake by posting any drama on this board... i apologized and tried to make light of it and i get this?

    i'm fucking trying, guys. i really do like fashion-i'm sorry my fits are less than desirable, but i wear what i like.. and what i can afford.

    fucking shit jmat. you're such a dick! you really hurt my feelings.

    edit: why is it so difficult for ANYONE to be nice these days? i don't even like talking shit. it doesn't make me feel good having to demean someone else to stick up for myself... for the most part, everyone's equal in my book. i don't understand why tolerance has been squashed into a cork.

  12. oh shit look... more bitches teaming up to talk shit about two people who they consider peons. fucking put me on your ignore list, dipshit.

    you sit at your computer... all day... and talk shit about people you know nothing about. well, i'd say that's a life full of accomplishment.

    hate on our apartment, fits, animals... whatever the fuck you want... at the end of the day, i remember that i'm only 19, getting ready for school-to make something out of myself... to afford the threads that i dig and express myself through the style that i admire from others who are more affluent than myself... or you for that matter. i don't need to stare at a computer monitor and constantly compare myself with others for self-worth. all you can talk is bullshit. you "know" nothing.

    and do you see my green bar? i'm not being cocky, but people around here seem to think i'm okay-so fuck your opinion. i came to this board to learn about fashion and i've been progressing... even with my laborer salary.

  13. i just want to apologize to sufu for bringing relationship drama into the picture. it really wasn't that big of a deal... as a matter of fact jeff and i made up... it went something like this:

    09fsUJ_i66I&hl

    i figured this would go with what seems to be the theme of the day... and yes, the end of the movie is also accurate. it can be scary.

    edit: notice the hand placement...
