How do you cope with the lady in your life?

[Roubignol]

This morning when I was in bed , I thought at the problems of our friend rosestone.

I'd add something about my latest remarks.
Why doesn't she try to do yoga or a kind of spiritual exercise like meditation?
Maybe you could read and then propose to her to read books based on spirituality?

Reading several spiritual quotes helped myself to take some distance on very ridiculous problems, that disturbed my well-being. So maybe that could help your couple.

I never made yoga, but I know women who told me that positively changed their life.

Err, thanks xy, but please feel free to think about my wife and I when you're in other places too.

She used to do yoga classes, and she has actually given me an appreciation for yoga such that now I love it, but my wife has medical issues (which I won't go in to) that although they do not prevent her from doing yoga, it is difficult to get her to focus on something like that daily. But thanks for the thought.

Although I didn't intend this thread to be all about me and my problems, honest I didn't. My intention was that it be a thread for members to talk about how they cope with the whole male/female relationship thing

I'd say that you have to treat them on a case by case basis, so varied are the characters involved.

My latest ex may have proved to be nuts but I have had some wonderful relationships that have become wonderful friendships.

I always thought that marriage was a step too far for me, so actually getting engaged this time was a big departure - thought that as I enter my sixties it might be nice to settle down with someone at last. But now looks like my previous standpoint is still valid.

But no matter - that was just the first attempt and who knows what's around the corner.

Get a shed or an an allotment, and spend most of your free time there. It's getting under their feet and stifling their cleaning instincts, that is the cause of most conflicts

Over the years I have found that a kick up the ass does wonderful for married life.

I'm not saying whose ass though.

I don't know why, but 95% of my answers came when I'm still in bed... half asleep.

My halfpennyworth.
Blokes look at a woman they fancy and do an instant appraisal of their attractiveness.
On a subconscious level we mark a woman, 1 to 10.
But that rating is purely physical.
Evaluating your lady's mental state.....
It's way down on the list, until, with the benefit of time and experience, you realise that the physical shell your hormones went mad for actually harbours a consciousness you wouldn't touch with a ten foot barge pole.
Women are a lot better at this sort of thing than us poor males.
I'd advise any chaps out there in a sh*tty relationship to end it and re-discover the quiet peace of being in your own space.
You don't have to be in a relationship.

I guess I'm lucky.
My wife and I rarely argue,and if we do it gets fixed quickly.We have a great sex life,and theres very little she isnt into.She doesnt mind me looking at porn either,in fact shes posed for loads of saucy pics,and I've filmed her making loads of porn movies too,although I'm generally behind the camera while shes getting it on with other lovers.She's also a petrolhead and drives a classic sports car,and she can strip an engine down too.

I do what I'm told, when I'm told because I'm told. Works a treat.

At the moment she's barely a friend (I have an old occasional girlfriend that lives a few towns away)

I guess first of all I accidently opened a new facebook account on my friends iPhone while unsuccessfully trying to log into my existing page, using the same password.
Then two women I know immediately sent friend requests. I redirected them to my real fbook account and they both accepted, although one later deleted my real account and kept the fake.

Somehow I get phone text messages whenever she posts, although I can't view them nor log into my fake account. I've told facebook to delete this account and her to delete my fakebook friendship, twice.

Saturday morning I get two texts at 5:19am saying "Did you just ring me?"
and after other texts all negating this, I am still waiting for an apology...

She also used to rent a house off my vicious ex, before she and her kids were illegally evicted.
At least we share a common dislike

She's 'a keeper' I don't think.
