Describe Your Relationship

[Hobgoblin]

How do you describe your relationship with your significant other? Are you two halves of the same person? Do you know exactly what they'll do in a situation? Or is it more unpredictable, tumultuous?

Which do you prefer? Knowing that person like the back of your hand or being more chaotic?

[SpideyInATree]

We are definitely two halves of the same person. She is so down to earth and understanding about everything. She thinks when I'm in my Metallica T-shirt and blue jeans that I am sexy. So, any kind of girl that thinks that is pretty much perfect for me and you can't get any better than that.

All the girls I dated, or had a relationship with, before her seemed very materialistic and wanting to...change me. Like, "Oh, you read comic books?! Ok, that's gotta go. Oh, you don't need to wear those old dirty Metallica T-shirts. We are going to take you shopping at Abercrombie and Fitch!".

I tell my girlfriend I have now, "Hey, by the way, I read comic books". She says, "Hey, can I read some of them?" I was all like... :wow: So, I gave her trades of Fables and now she's a fellow comic geek. :woot:

Though she does listen to crappy music. :csad: But it's all good. :cwink:

[The Squirrel]

My relationship... is non existent.

[Aesop Rocks]

No relationship.

that person is the back of my hand. :hehe:

[VenomVsSpidey]

none. im single. you know that phrase "Do Not Want''? yeah...i live that..lol..









seriously.

[Marlboro Man]

My relationship is going down the crapper pretty quick. We were fine for a while, but then I moved away, and now it's really not working out. I don't have the heart to end it while we're apart, but I feel like I might have no other choice.

My parents say "absense makes the heart grow fonder." Except... it's really made me realize how mediocre this relationship is...

She digs Metallica and comic books? Nice!

[AndThePickles]

Haha, sounds like you three would get along nicely.

[ultrasuperduckman]

My girl is alright.

I guess.

All her other boyfriends have been sterotypes of some sort, Long hair "metal" kids. (I love metal and sometimes grow long hair, but I'm not a sterotype if that makes sense.)

I like her a lot and she really likes me because I'm different from her past guys. I'm not scared to fart in front of her or work on my Aussie accent, and she loves to see me "geek out" when we go to the comic store.

Bad side is, she thinks I'm the coolest guy on the planet from the way I handle myself. Which is awesome, but it causes a lot of pointless crap because she thinks I'm such a "playa" and always hitting on girls.

She acts like a baby about a lot of things which really frustrates me. And she never watched a Scorsese film. When I did make her watch Casino and Goodfellas she wasn't all that into it.

But sometimes she'll wear Batman shirts for me ;)

this seems like a win-lose thing...as long as shes no kate gosselin, your good :up: lol

[shadowprince]

damn , i was just gonna say this.

[enterthemadness]

No relationship, unless if you count one of my hands. :o

[Nightmare]

Im Single. I Sux. :(

[enterthemadness]

Im Single. I Sux. :(

I'm single, too. But I won't hold you.

[AndThePickles]

Also, I'd never say that my significant other and I are two halves of the same person, nor would I want us to be. I feel like he completes me, but not because we're exactly the same. I wouldn't want to date a male version of myself. We have some awesome similarities, but not in an obnoxious way.

[Nightmare]

I'm single, too. But I won't hold you.

Why not? :o

[Addendum]

Im Single. I Sux. :(

I'll take being single over being in a relationship

[DarkReflections]

I'll take being single over being in a relationship

why?

[PyroChamber]

No relationship, too much B.S. to deal with.

[Bruce Banner]

Living the single life its gotten old afterwhile. But I haven't met anyone that was very interesting anyway lately.

[DBella]

I think that depends. Depends on whether you really love each other or if you think you're in love with each other. If your relationship is more than just... physical. If there really is a strong connection between you two, being apart makes you appreciate each other more because you feel something missing in your life when you're apart. And when you miss that person so much, you can't help but count the days when you'll see each other again.

If there wasn't much depth in the relationship before the time apart, then it's usually, "out of sight, out of mind".

[Steel Thunder]

that person is the back of my hand. :hehe:

You do it with the back of your hand? Quite a skill....

[DarkReflections]

You do it with the back of your hand? Quite a skill....

i didnt meant it that way you sick freak. and who says i...you know what nevermind. :hehe:

[theoneandonly]

my relationship with my girl is amazing. we are definatly meant for eachother, she is not materialistic in anyway, shape or form. She is a very girly girl y'know like all into chick flicks (twilight... :( ) and i couldnt be happier.

yes her music taste maybe a shocker but im slowly changing her to the ways of queens of the stone age and nine inch nails.

[katie_girl09]

I'm not in one. I'm not averse to being in one, I'm just not in a hurry to get into one. I'm comfortable with the way things are. :)

[SsM]

Broken, Beat and Scarred. :(

[ChickenScratch]

My wife and I pretty much complete each other, though we are not necessarily that similar. I'm a metalhead, she's not, I'm a comic fan, she's not, I train 4 nights a week, she's got no set routine.

[Erzengel]

Also, I'd never say that my significant other and I are two halves of the same person, nor would I want us to be. I feel like he completes me, but not because we're exactly the same. I wouldn't want to date a male version of myself. We have some awesome similarities, but not in an obnoxious way.

I feel that the sum of our parts together are greater than each of us as a whole.

In short the person you are with, should really be your best friend and should know you better than anyone else. (Granted there will be a few aspects that others will know better but I am saying for the most part.)

[Ahura Mazda]

Nowadays I feel she is my partner in life and she compliments me in many ways. We are extremely different and share very few tastes but somehow it works for us. She has made many efforts to be with me and as a result we are now engaged. She has made me very happy.

It's for Survivor :P

[SpideyInATree]

She digs Metallica and comic books? Nice!

She doesn't dig Metallica so to speak. She just likes that I wear what I like to wear because it's part of who I am. I don't go to these preppy stores and buy khaki shorts and flip flops.

Guys who wear flip flops worry me. :o

[Colossal Spoons]

Ah ha :up:

[C. Lee]

My wife and I are a lot alike. We've been together for 13 years and have yet to have an argument (in my previous marriage, shouting matches were an almost every day thing). She likes comics, sci fi, and movies with explosions and martial arts.

dude you hit the jackpot. :up:

[Erzengel]

We both have enough common interests, Yankees, football (like different teams though), going into the City, same clothing stores and same sense of style.

You don't have to like everything your partner likes but I think a few similar interests makes it easier.

[The Guard]

My wife and I are a cliche male/female couple in some ways, in others very much not. We're both over six feet tall, and I'm told we strike a good figure together (whatever that means). I'm coldly logical and somewhat anal about things, and she's emotional and rarely thinks things through, and is all about how she feels or what she wants at a particular moment in time, so I'm levelheaded one, and she's a bit scatterbrained some of the time, not all of it thank goodness. She's all about nostalgia and wish fulfillment and isn't much of a risk taker, and I prefer to see the real side of things, and am more curious and like the rush of certain activities more than she does. I plan things, she doesn't, so I handle pretty much all the money, bills, etc.

We're both very much into theatre and music, but I'm somewhat more serious about it as an actor, into character studies, subtle performances and "going there", whereas she's a lot of fun onstage, all about pure energy and spectacle, and very fun to watch. We both love singing, movies, and watching whatever's on TV, so we're nothing special in a lot of ways. I write a bit on the side. She doesn't have too many distinct hobbies, though she used to knit often for some reason, and is part of a national Barbershop choir called Sweet Adelines now. Kind of old fashioned.

I'm fairly intelligent, and a bit more streetsmart and wise to the ways of the world than she is, but she's much better with people, everyone loves her, and she knows all sorts of random facts that I can't even come up with if I think hard about a subject.

Neither of us has any style or appreciation of style. We're both about instant gratification VS things like dishes, laundry, cleaning, etc, though we are capable of getting things done in a pinch.

I'm college educated, she's not, but she did go for three years. Neither of us is terribly ambitious, though she really wants a family, and to take on a mentorship role.

Background wise, I had what I think most would consider a pretty good, middle class family upbringing in the real world, and some of her family and friend base is bat**** insane, so there are issues that arise from that, but you'll have that. She's very sensitive to some things, whereas I tend to be colder. We're both capable of being drama queens, but usually aren't.

We usually get along very well when one of us isn't morose about something, which is unfortunately fairly often these days, as she's having career/life issues. Our arguments, which are relatively frequenst, I guess, are short and pointless and done in fun, and we rarely seek to actually hurt anyone's feelings or make them feel bad.

The sex is pretty much always good, and she'll try almost anything in the bedroom, or wherever else we happen to be. So she's not completely unadventurous, I guess.

[ChickenScratch]

What do you guys do for fun?

Oh, lots of stuff. We love to travel, she's French and I've got many friends in Europe from my work, in fact my best man was my bud from Paris. My background is Indian and Jamaican so we go to India and the Caribbean a lot since many of my family members have spread out all over the place. We both have a thing for languages too.

Also, she's a nurse which ties in really well my my being a karateka. She kinda serves as my dojo's nurse and when I spend 6 months in Japan she did the same there. I get hurt a lot, and hurt people a lot, she knows how to fix them!

[Cunning Stunts]

Haha, sounds like you three would get along nicely.

You need Metallica in your life.

[Colossal Spoons]

Don't waste your time CS, she only likes "Enter Sandman" :(


ok, it's officially weird calling somebody else "CS" haha

[Beanjuice]

Here is my relationship


http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w23/kel7348/lotion.jpg :grin:


and the saddest thing is, i really dont care

[Erzengel]

You must really put your penis through a ringer, no pun intended if you are particular about the lotion you use, considering that's for rough skin and dark spots? Seriously what are you doing? :huh:

[Anita18]

Also, I'd never say that my significant other and I are two halves of the same person, nor would I want us to be. I feel like he completes me, but not because we're exactly the same. I wouldn't want to date a male version of myself. We have some awesome similarities, but not in an obnoxious way.
I agree. I tend to fixate on one or two things at a time, and I can't imagine that's healthy for long periods of time, especially if I'm with another person who's the same way! :funny: My bf manages to get me out of the house without guilt-tripping me into it.

I guess it goes with me being very independent on my own, but I still feel like I'm single. Well, I've never been a man-eater so it isn't like I'm dating other people, but it's not like my entire life revolves around this guy. It's just that I've been going on more little adventures than I used to.

We're both generally spontaneous, although I'm a little more of a control freak in the kitchen, and I usually like to know what's on the schedule. He's also more irrational in his decisions, while I think things through more. I'm also into knowing what's going on (even when it's bad, like regarding politics and the news), while he would rather have his head in the sand.

What we definitely have in common is that we're both extreme introverts, him more so than me. He gets nervous even walking around a mall. He definitely couldn't handle Comic Con. :funny: I think it helps that I'm one too so I don't take it personally if he wants to leave or doesn't want to go someplace with lots of people. He definitely nurtures my hippie side, haha.

[Lightning Strykez!]

No relationship, unless if you count one of my hands. :o

And that's...so sad. :csad:

Anyway, in terms of my own relationship: Well, I actually just started talking to a new guy a couple of weeks ago. So far things are going really well with him; we've gone out a few times. No sex yet because that's something I prefer to wait on until a real friendship and trust factor is in place. Only time will tell how things will turn out.

I will say this: I've been on the dating scene since I was a young(er) man in my teens. I've been married once. And out of all that time, nothing can compare to the relationship I was in prior to now...everything from the dynamics, sex, friendship--even our families--was firing on all cylinders. We were totally two halves of the same person...it was almost symbiotic. People would look at us and be like...wow, look at these mofos. We totally complimented eachother and even when we had fights, it was still all love.

I think relationships like that only come once in a lifetime. Perhaps I'm doomed now.

*sigh* :csad:

I'm almost afraid to ask...what happened to that one?

[Lightning Strykez!]

I'm almost afraid to ask...what happened to that one?

It's...complicated. But to make a long story short we got into a tragic car accident fairly recently. Lives were lost and he checked out on me. One day I might do a thread on it here but right now I am still coping with the loss of that relationship.

[DarkReflections]

Yeah that's the part I was afraid of. :csad: Sorry to hear about that.

[Lightning Strykez!]

Yeah that's the part I was afraid of. :csad: Sorry to hear about that.

LOL I just reread what I typed and realized the connotation it may have given: he didn't die. He checked out emotionally and mentally. In other words, he (by some unbelievable stretch) took out his pain and anger over the death of his loved one on me and just went kinda crazy. I am still trying to figure out exactly why we're not together but needless to say he needs space right now.

I guess in a way he did die though...the guy I was in love with doesn't seem to exist anymore. He's taking medication for depression now so maybe he'll return. :csad:

You talking to me?

[Eggyman]

She's awesome. I could make a large post to describe her, but you don't need to know that. The first two words of this post decribe her enough. She's not 'like' me, but she compliments me. She fits. We're not into all the same things, but that's good, because now we turn each other on to new things - some we end up liking, some we don't. It's good to have different tastes and such, because we'll always remember that we're two seperate people and not just one of those stupid amalgamations. She's Karen, and I'm Andy ... but we'll never be Kandy. I hate that sh**. I can't, as much as I'd like to, say that we'll be together forever ... it's unrealistic seeing as neither of us have ever had that before, obviously - things change, people, situations, and things can go wrong. But I can say that at the moment I am with the perfect person for me and that I'm totally at ease and full of the joys of Bamfer. I haven't settled for her. We're with who we want to be with and for now, that's enough.

That was so sweet Wilford Brimely should follow it up with information about diabeetus products.

[Cunning Stunts]

Don't waste your time CS, she only likes "Enter Sandman" :(

That makes me sad on the inside. :(


ok, it's officially weird calling somebody else "CS" haha

Yeah, it was weird as hell for me when I realized people called you "CS", considering I've gone by this name for a while and I'm also used to be calling "CS".

[Eggyman]

I think a docu. about pissing on a stick would compliment it perfectly.

[Jesster32388]

I'll just put it this way, I'm very lucky to have found someone like her in my life time and want to spend the rest of my life with her. I think that's the only thing that matters and I could not be happier :yay:.
