Relationship breakdown aka How did it slip away?

[spook]

Stay tuned for the erectile dysfunction thread. Or did I miss that one?

i assumed that's why all these guys are so attached to their porn stashes. they can't embarrass themselves in front of the computer.

Remember that fucking awful TV Series " 30 something" full of whinney, self-infatuated introspective douchebags= TGR recently.
Rather than ski movies, Teton Gravity should market a set of self -help videos for you middle-aged fucking introspective dentists.......whaaaaaaa whaaaaa, whaaaaaa.

Mrs Roper on a good day.

Sometimes shit just runs its course.
Sucks but it happens and its often for the best.

i was going to say sometimes it gets to that point because nobody had the guts to say goodbye before it got to that point.

Well Benny was talking about the wonder drug Viagra in some thread recently.

I'm sure it was regarding HAPE prevention.

[OldLarry]

it's all young and fun and skiing and then one day you login and it's relationship advice, gomer glacier tours and geezers.

Yeah, let's go do some crimes. Let's get sushi and not pay...

Not like you can, not like you can.

Not like you can, not like you can.

i don't get it. i don't have erectile dysfunction, a dysfunctional relationship or a porn stash. what ever could you mean?

jesus thanks a lot, man. i haven't thought of that crap for at least 2 decades.

Like everything in life, managing expectations and knowing who you are.

[frozenwater]

ITs hard to believe that relationships last as long as they do at times. I mean, go back 20 years and look at yourself, you've probably changed a lot. Now, did the person you were with change as much as you did? Is it possible that the fact that you "only" made it a decade or two bad? Some things don't last.

For me the girl of my dreams stopped loving me. I'm cool with that now, sucked at the time. Now were good parents, and I am in a healthy relationship with another amazing woman. I hope it lasts the rest of my life, but who knows...


---oh, and good god its been a long time since I have been on here.....

[iceman]

Dude you've changed.

In fact, everyone has changed. Only I remain the same, a rock, steadfast in my terminal immaturity.

Well Hugh's pretty much the same too.

I blame society.

I think what works for me is a change in expectations. For years I had this notion of the ideal woman that no one could probably ever have lived up to.

At one point I thought I had found someone who fit that ideal; hawt, great skier/cyclist, hawt. Turned out she was a kook and burned me pretty bad.

I think maybe it takes something like that to learn to appreciate someone who maybe doesn't fit your ideal, but that you connect with and who isn't a complete douchebag (and doesn't mind you being one).

If that connection breaks down I'm not sure what you do, but you might want to look at the energy (or lack of) you're putting into maintaining that connection and then decide if it's still worth it. People change sometimes and not every relationship is salvageable or worth the effort.

Not every conquest is worth the effort either. It only took me 40 years to figure that out.

[stupendous man]

all I can say is, at this point we're a team. we've got a job to do, get through this world and help our wee won navigate the gauntlet. the definition of love changes with time as well.

What happened with the twins?

[Tippster]

Wait... did I miss something? Are bklyn and Summit dating?

Dating?

You didn't see their wedding thread?

Search function jong.

[assman]

I'm not sure I am the responder you are looking for because I am a serial womanizer who bales at the slightest whiff of aggravation. Throw in easily bored and it's a potent cocktail for remaining single.
I am at the moment happily dating a lady 13 years younger than me who has an ass that you can bounce quarters off of and shows up, fucks my brains out, demands none of the usual "do you love me's" and rolls. I may have stumbled upon the ultimate relationship here. She is the only woman to whom i have given a key and pass code to my place EVER (primarily because she tends to show up a 3 am and I got tired of getting up to let her in)

So far, this works for me just fine.

Paying for a Hooker doesn't count as being in a relationship !

My wife loves it when I turn on the travel channel when she complains that we don't travel enough. "Look there, honey! It's Paris and we don't even have to leave the house!"

Some days I wonder why I'm still married, but my wife is probably the least crazy women I know, so its all good.
