Well, I just put $130 in the bank, thinking I'd be ok and everything. I'm not. And to make matters worse, my bf is mad at me for it. Like he has no freakin place in this whole thing. I go out of my way to buy him stuff and try to make sure that he's comfortable...as much as I see fit anyways, but it never seems to be enough. I can't take it anymore!

Lex I am gonna give it to you straight..I do NOT know what you see in this dude...He takes far more than he gives...I don't think I have ever seen a good post on him..he can be mean to you...you may need to rethink this whole relationship ..WHAT do YOU GET from it?

[LMo]

Ditto what Sleeps said (but you knew that I'd say that, didn't you?)

[desirae]

You go girl......(sleep)!!!!!!
I don't know much about your situation with your boyfriend. But I can recall the man is supposed to wine and dine the girl....not the other way around.
Be strong, and good luck.

I'm sorry! You are such a good person. I wish your b/f would see how lucky he is and appreciate YOU.

Thinking of you!

As SAD as it is to say..... most males are SELFISH in nature, meaning they only do some thing if they want to (and) they often forget that another person is in the relationship with them, with real feelings & needs.

Now Rhapsody -- that is a very unfair stereotype. You'd need to back that one up with statistics in order for it to be fair.

[SleepsWithButterFlies]

Ya know I guess it has to be the men one knows because in my experience this is just not true and is sexist..If a man posted that we would have nailed him....I think it depends on who WE choose to associate with. No true in my world

[Rhapsody]

ROFL (lol lol) - LMo

Ok in the name of fairness……………. here is my statistics:

1 - Husband (20 yrs)
2 - Son’s
6 - Brother’s
2 - Dad’s
8 - Male Friends
7 - Bother in Laws
(?) - and a hand full of other male acquaintance….

LOL! Well, there are 139 million men in the US alone, so your 26 examples don't really add up to "most men".You'd also need to list the non-selfish men you know. Think back to all males you've ever known starting from high school onwards. Not just the jerks -- ALL of them.

But I get your point, though -- your experience has been largely with selfish men. Mine has not been -- I mean, some are selfish ones out there, certainly, but I do my best not to associate with them any more than I have to. My husband is one of the most non-selfish people I know, and my male friends are kind and caring men.

I just want to avoid what Sleeps pointed out -- that if a man made that kind of negative generalization about women, then we'd pummel him to a pulp. In general, it's not fair to do that.

But I did get a chuckle out of your reply!

Thanks Sleeps and LMo –

And in my world – I am trying to change the opinion I hold – but in order to that I will need a few good men to step up to the plate… wounds do run deep.

BTW – in all honesty, I have met a good man or two…

YOU GO GIRL…

And Yes, I have to agree that we (the females) can and have met many of good men here on this forum and other forums and yet in all fairness I have to say that it is easy to be the knight in shinning armor / perfect princess when one does not have an emotional connection / issues with the one they are chatting with online (or) with the one they do not share the bathroom with 24-7.... lol.

Pssst I have two bathrooms and my own toothpaste

Back to Lex I hope she makes changes and demands more from this relationship because as it stands..its hurtful and I dont wanna see Lexi hurt...blame gets tossed a lot and should NOT be accepted

[Rhapsody]

I hear you Sleeps... my own marriage use to be a lot like that - well, until I started to stand up for myself and my rights, both as a person and as his wife.
And while we are still working on some old and new issues in the relationship.... all is better from me standing firm.

What is it that many doctors / therapist say: We teach people how they can treat us...
