Ok Ladies, thoughts for women from old lady Dino
I am just wondering if I'm the only one feeling like this and or getting this kind of crazy advice from friends and family members.
I just ended a (way too) long relationship that I always knew was not a good fit for me - why did I take so long to end it?
Other than the obvious reasons of
1. Being a coward
2. Avoiding confrontational situations
3. ONE of us has gotta move now? (YOU can GO - who gets the pets?)
A primary (embarrassingly enough) reason I personally avoided the inevitable end was the commentary I KNEW was coming from friends, family and coworkers.
You guys broke up? He's such a NICE Guy!
I'm not trying to make any arguments for leaving or staying in a relationship. That is totally a personal decision that has way to many variables.
I'm just wondering WHY do Guys get a "gold star" for being a "nice guy" ?
I TOTALLY "heart" good people (it's not a gender thing, be a person) But sorry, I don't owe you 10-20 years because you are not an axe murderer.
I ask this question/created this post because I have many friends who are with men who they are completely INCOMPATABLE with or have zero ambition/don't work etc (Seriously I have one girlfriend who leaves so many post it notes ("reminders" to her BF - HA) ALL over the house you think it's a Garage Sale when you go to her apartment - WTF? Another had a BF who plays video games - No joke - for like 10 hours a day and another whose BF throws temper tantrums like he's 5 years old, stomps his feet all Rumpelstiltskin style and everything (no joke) - it would be funny AF if she did not live with him.
I know this a total rant but since Covid lockdowns I just hear this story over and over again and I wondered - Am I the only one who feels this way?
You ARE a Nice Guy - Just Not the Guy for Me
PS - I'm not a Man but from my personal experience/conversation I think Men get a similar response but more related to aesthetics - Example - You broke up?? "She's so HOT though" (Ummm, yeah - too bad she lit my car on fire last week) I'm really curious if Men feel this way too (IE - stay with a terrible person WAY too long due to pressure from social circles, family etc) RANT Rant rant ant....😜
