I wonder though, if there's a higher percentage of men who say that than there is women.....

Absolutely, also mine is cheating on the love of my life as i couldn't handle 'seeing her' as she was with someone although she kept saying she didn't want to be and was going to leave him

Treating someone like gold and worshipping the ground they walk on, only to find they were cheating on you and never really gave a shit about you after all!!

Casual mate. Company when you want it, space when you want it. Just come out of a real instable, rocky relationship as some on here know and it has baked my brain a bit. I can't see me being with anyone for a while yet so the casual thing would suit me down to the ground for a while.

Sounds the same as me. My ex is getting married today and it's kind of screwed me up. Thing is I thought we'd grow old together and made a stupid mistake ending the relationship rather than talking to her about the problems.

35 years happily married & no regrets was I just lucky, who knows.

Did have a young lady that was my first love, caused me a lot of heart ache at the time, took 2 years to move on, met her by chance 20years later & felt nothing absolutely nothing & I had dreaded ever meeting her again just in case I still cared.

Biggest regret is ever letting anything get past the 3 month stage.

Up to 3 months I seem to find these brilliant, funny, sexy, lively, confident and self aware women that are independant and love life.

After about 3 months they turn into dribbling fucking idiots that can't do anything on their own and feel they have to plan my life and spare time weeks in advance.



I am aware that the common denominator in all this is me before anyone points that out

What is it with them?

I was seeing someone in November, probable total of half a dozen times tops. Left my phone at work one saturday, it stayed there until sunday. I had a dozen text messages and 2 long voicemail messages asking why I was moody and ignoring her.

Do I come across as someone that needs to be mothered and harassed or something?

Paddy, same here mate. I live on my own, got my own place and am very independant. I don't need to (or want to) talk every day until we've been seeing each other for at least 6 months. I don't feel the need to invite her round every evening and for her to stay all weekend. My place is a batchelor pad - big telly, beer fridges etc and I like it that way.

What really pisses me off is exactly what you said mate - 'After about 3 months they turn into dribbling fucking idiots that can't do anything on their own and feel they have to plan my life and spare time weeks in advance' - why do they feel the urge to plan your life for you, what you do, where you go, what you wear FFS..........if she asks me 'do I want to go out with her family' and I say 'no' then that's an end of it. If she wants to sulk about it and throw her toys about because little Stuey wooey didn't do what she wanted him to, tough shit. Fuck off and sulk somewhere else. I'm too old to be playing these bullshit games but the women I seem to meet never seem to grow out of them, no matter how old they are.

It's fucking happened again

Was out with someone last night I've been seeing under a month. I've even mentioned my 3 month theory to her [that went down well ] and she started talking about her sisters wedding and how I can sit with so and so, stay at some particular place etc. etc.

I wouldn't mind if the wedding was next week but it's in April

Obviously I didn't tell her about my concerns and nodded like a good doggie, as I actually really like this one as she's WAHEEEEY out of my league

Well isn't that good that she's seeing you and her together into the future or has your 3 month theory taken over your life and now stops you from going any further... think you need to think about something else, chill out and enjoy a relationship instead of finding sink holes in it everywhere...

Oh... and she can't think that obviously... or she wouldn't be with you in the first place. Do you like putting yourself down?

I resemble that comment Stuart! I actually like this one [said that before once or twice though ]

What's the definition of indefinitely?

When you're up to your nuts, you know you're in definitely.
