this guy should just tell his gf to wise up now or just break up with her.
duh. if he cannot take the things she is doing and she refuses to change....
otherwise take it like a man and be nice to her.
after all she is doing things out of concern. may not seem that way to us guys but i think she is just trying to make u look more like a presentable man. someone she can be proud of.

A woman marries a man, and hopes she can change him.

A man marries a woman, and hopes she'll never change.

wow. I didn't think people in this forum would be like they are. I guess I'll just step back, since people have a problem with who I am.

Buddy, you did bring this on yourself. You came here sounding like you were b!tching about your girlfriend being too bossy. What did you expect?

<< A woman marries a man, and hopes she can change him. >>



Thats not always true. I'm not marrying Psycho because I think that I can change him-I'm marrying him because I love him the way he is and I don't want him to change. I know he will grow but so will I. The art of marriage is being able to grow together.

Very amusing thread...anyway, I have a question.

You say you aren't sure you want to stick around for 70 years (meaning you don't want to marry her I am guessing), and you aren't in the relationship for sex, what is keeping you together?

i like the point hawk brings up...if you're not planning on marrying her, then obviously you don't have the love needed to stay together for any serious lengths of time, so y be so upset at the clothes and mothering??? cut your losses if its that big of a deal to you, otherwise, deal with it or tell her that you're your own man.

as far as you being confused as to how people react to you on the board, you seem very suprised that when you bring up a very serious charge against a very respected member of society without any proof that can be pointed to, especially in light of many many refutes from much more reliable sources than yourself or your mom that the vast majority of the board responds to you in a negative way.
as someone else said, get over it and grow up, learn how to deal with issues in a mature fashion, not lashing out at everything around you. and dropping to personal attacks and insults. i'd hate to see what you'd do if anyone on this board was around when you got this pissed off at them for disagreeing and calling your claim.

ok ... well i have a different angle ... e_mc_2 and I have been dating for almost 2 years now .. but I have been telling him what not to wear for well over a year I'm sure ... but thats mostly because he has clothes that are over 10 years old that he can still wear that have holes in bad places or paint splatters and such in them .. that unless I point them out he never notices ... hes absent minded ... heck I have to remind him not to cut grass in his good work pants .. thats just the way he is ... he may occasionally balk when I tell him not to wear something .. but for the most part he realizes I'm being helpful .. I figure since I do pretty much all his laundry and pick out his clothes I should have some say in the wearing of them.. Also it works in reverse ... when I cook something he feels free to point out stuff .. hehe .. I occasionally balk at some of his suggestions but for the most point I tend to fix stuff in the aspect of trying to please him ... if you really care about someone ... you dont care if they make requests ... you try to please them ... or atleast find a middle ground where both of you can be happy ... you obviously care about this girl ... or you wouldnt have dated her for a year now ... she is honestly trying to help you ... talk to her about it .. tell her how you feel ... she will probably stop .. or maybe she will clarify her reasons and you will have a better understanding .. either way .. good luck ...

I've stayed out of this one up until now. This isn't directed directly at FFMC, but at everyone in here...

girlfriend is taking over as wife/mother

That's exactly what she's supposed to do.

I like it that Sarah takes an interest in what I do &amp; wear, &amp; have no problem involving her in my decisions. We're both a part of each other's decisions, &amp; neither one of us has any objections to that.

If you don't view your boyfriend or girlfriend as a potential life-time partner, why are you with them? Quit leading them on.

I once thought like you Viper. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt with tire marks all over it.

If the current one doesn't work out, never again.

Fett, once you heal you will see things different. Its hard to put yourself back into a &quot;love&quot; relationship when you've been ran over and hurt. You'll heal and then you will move on.

Either that or you may become a serial prostiture killer (HEHE)

FFMCobalt;

If you think your girlfriend now telling you what to wear is hard to take, wait until you're married and discover that sex with your inflatable doll was better. Then, you're really in a fix.
