Mali Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 If its the woman you have a kid with, better suck it up! My longstanding advice on women is this: Whether you want to say something really hateful, or really great, wait a day and see if you still feel that way. Generally people become idiots during fights and start spouting things out. Best let it be until you are better prepared. I don't know if thats the case here, but thats my advice. It is tougher than it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-guitarist Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 My professional advice? If you are gonna catch hell for nothing, anyways, you might as well say what is needed to be said. I mean... you can't make it much worse, you're gonna say what's on your mind, and you're already sleeping on the couch.... where is the downside? a-g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"dealing with" your womans emotional ups and downs is just part of a relationship, just like she deals with your pitfalls. someitmes knowing when to take a deep breath and NOT make that last comment that will send you both to court for domestic disturbances is the wisest and most grown up thing one can do.

a-guitarist Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I agree with this, 95% of the time. Sometimes though, you just HAVE to bite your tongue for the sake of not making things much worse. Dey Only 95%? You really need to train it to 100%, then. But, basically, you never really know when you're gonna set off a woman. Why? We're just as random as they are. And when each gender's randomness fires off to summon Death's head to crush the area, the fight starts. So you never really know when she's gonna go off even worse, so in the end... why not just take the leap and say it anyways? "I know, I know. Jim is an *******, and I don't know why I'm friends with him. Yes, he's half drunk half the time, I realize that. No, I'm not shocked by it or when he drives over the rose bushes. What I am shocked about, however, is how your friend Kim walks around dressed like a whore, painting her makeup on with a paint roller, acting like a tampon and still can't realize why none of the dates we set her up on work out for her like she'd plan. But, seriously, Steve thought she was only joking about that fifty bucks, he'd like that back... Yes... I've got my pillow already. And planting the roses there was a stupid idea!" a-g EDIT: And it could be worse, you could sing songs like this...

Raargant Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I think if anyone wants to give relationship advice, they should disclose the status of their own relationships, or lack thereof, especially if the person you are giving your sage advice to is living with his pregnant girlfriend/fiance. Because, you know. If your advice is ****ty but the other person actually takes it, serious damage could be caused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyzarius Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 lucky for me when my wife was pregnant with our son and our daughter all I had to do was pull out some flowers and it would short circuit her hormones and make her oo, aww, and cutsie-coo like a school girl. boy I did buy a lot of flowers though, like....a dozen or two a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pregnant women are hormonal (as you've found out). Just suck it up and deflect her attention with things like flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murat Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Married for 4 years with 1 son.I have the kind of wife that says what she has got to say and I say what i got to say.We get off our chest and if we agree or can come to an understanding but if not then we agree to disagree and I think its done but what I have found out is that it means to her we will pick that topic up at a later date when she thinks she has an advantage to persuade me Either way theres no crap of playing guessing games.We are both to the point and I wouldnt want it any other way. P.S btw I have only slept on the couch for 1 1/2 after she had surgery cause shes a bed hog take my advice for whatever its worth and she wasnt that hormonal when she was pregnant and no morning sickness so yes I am a lucky bas***d lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Anume Posted July 18, 2008 Implementor Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Married for 7 years now, with its ups and downs, one son. I didn't get morning sickness, fortunately, either. However hormones can be evil in and after pregnancy, during the pregnancy just make compliments, tell her she is not looking fat if she's got a problem in that direction, small thoughtful presents (need not be expensive at all) or even a one-liner note can cheer up enormously. If she's in a mood to scream at you you probably earned it. (All men earn it at SOME time ), I'd say just take a walk (DON'T DRINK), come back about an hour or two later at most and see if you can work things out calmly.

Imoutgoodbye Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 LMAO! Wow. I wasn't even LOOKING for advice...just to vent and maybe hear some funny stories, but most of you gave me the most ridiculous advice I have ever heard! Raargant, Eshaine, Murat, and Kyzarius had some good things to say. Issue was resolved last night before I went to work and after I got home. I was definitely not sleeping on the couch. I got all of my morals/ethics from my grandfather. I didn't like spending time at my parents house. Imagine being the only one with brains while the rest of your family picks on you for being an intellectual. Well, anyways, I learned a good deal about life from my grandfather. It wasn't anything too specific, just watching him interact with all kinds of people and an occasional nugget of wisdom here and there when I'd ask for it. I'm sad he isn't going to be around to see me get married. He never even met my fiancee. God rest his soul. As for relationships, I learned a lot from him. There was even a story my grandma and him liked to tell about him coming home from the bar drunk one night and she had already had the locks changed. When she opened the door, she slammed a frying pan over his head and then called the ambulance because she thought she'd killed him. He was already halfway to passing out, so, she just helped him pass out in the end. This was when they were in their 30's by the way. My grandparents had NINE kids. I watched my father go through two divorces. I've watched how he treated women. His thoughts on women. None too flattering. Frankly, he deserves to be alone. I'm sad my mother came back to live with him. Her health is degenerating and with my father is not where she needs to be. So, when my fiancee gets all hormonal and pissy, I do what my grandfather taught me. Shut my mouth and man up. Her mistakes are my mistakes. My mistakes are her mistakes. Her problems are my problems. My problems are her problems. Take a couple minutes to breathe. Shoulder the problems. Talk things out with her. Take most of the blame (or all of it if it really is my fault), rub her feet, take her out for a dinner, etc.... Well, this has been quite a funny post of nothing turned into something. EDIT: Someone buy inscribed a trailer and a wife beater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iconz Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Tch... no wonder Women live longer then Men on average... good ole having to "man up". I did read some CNN article where this doctor was sayin how good it was to actually not put arguments off... to get things off your chest right then and there... but not to insult each other while doing it. Just say what ticks you off constructively. But remember... theres very little "logic" involved hormones. I remember my brother talking about his seven year relationship and he said "Men argue to win... Women argue to make you understand how they feel"... which i guess is a nice way of saying they dont play fair heh. While you might say things to prove a point... she'll say something just to hurt/piss you off b/c you've said something to hurt/piss her off... even if you didnt know that you did. I say... and this might sound bad but bear w/ me... learn to tune some stuff out.... and pick your fights. Youll live longer... __________________ Iconz - "This is a man's world... but it wouldn't be nuthin... nuthin... nuthin... w/out a woman or a girl" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-guitarist Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Honestly, I feel my advice was alright. But I believe it was taken wrong. Yes, I meant a lot of it in jest, but at some point it will solve issues. I was taught this by my brother and father (Parents married for 30 years, no major fights, no separations, three beautiful kids, great home, lots of happiness) Not every situation requires you opening your mouth, as was said. In most situations the best, most honourable, and kindest thing you can do is say nothing, and just love them back. As for my status? I'm "involved", for lack of a better word. Great girl, in kind of a predicament with that, but it's nothing but a quirk with distance, time and duty. Regardless. Anyways, sometimes you've gotta take a whole ration of hell for no reason at all. Sometimes you've gotta stand and fight for your choice (good or bad). Sometimes you've gotta realize that you dun ****ed up, apologize, and then move on. Sometimes you've gotta realize that she dun ****ed up, apologize anyways, and know she didn't mean it. Trust, love, and respect make the world go around. Makes the trip around the sun even nicer when you've given those to a woman. a-g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
