The off days in a relationship
 

I've been in a relationship for 5 years now, and have been living with the bf for almost a year, and I never thought that on some days, I would have to actually convince myself that I do love him, in order to keep myself from smothering him with a pillow while he sleeps.

So I know that relationships are hard fucking work, and not all days are gonna be smooth sailing, but do you sometimes just really hate your significant other ? No, I'm sorry... hate is too strong a word....











No, it isn't. Right now, I really do hate him. :)

there are times we'd be happy to kill each other - no doubt about it.

it happens ... no two people with heartbeats can live to gether for an extended period of time without conflict. it's impossible.

i think the rule is - never go to bed mad (but even thats impossible sometimes)

oh yeah - and if you're the girl - remember...

the guy is ALWAYS right.

its not good holding those feelings inside, smother him and have an affair next to his corpse....dont fight your bodies natrual instinct.

Damn dude.

I know.

He's a cheating man whore!!!! :mad:

Yeah... I think so too. :p

And you agree!?

What has this world come to?

chicks dig the corpse talk.

Is that so? Hmmm, maybe that's why that girl asked me...nevermind. I'm not sure if even mentioning that is legal.

Oh, honey. What happened?

Honestly, you can't get along all the time. My boyfriend absolutely frustrates me sometimes, but I don't think that I would say that I've ever hated him (which actually means a lot because I personally suffer from serious rage issues and generally wind up resenting and/or hating people that I'm with after a period of time).

However, we've only been together for a year (best friends for 2). Five years is a long-ass time. At this point it's either work out those differences (make sure to be very open and honest with him and don't rule out couples counseling - if you really want it to work, it could be worth it), and if you don't think you can get passed them, well, is this what you want?

Then again, I honestly have no frame of reference. Pardon me if I sound didactic.

The best words of advice that I've gotten re relationships was from a friend of mine who married her high school sweetheart and has been together for 10 years now (happily and preggo): Pick your battles. For someone who deals with uncontrollable rage (and I did for a while), that honestly helped me center myself when I found myself really getting pissed at my boyfriend.


I think I heart you.

You can be my corpse anytime. *readies syringe*
