Well if its any consolation, my bf is totally and utterly obsessed with football. I actually think its getting worse. It's very worrying all the same. How can men talk about football so much? Why would they even want to?!
He insists on talking to me about it all of the time when he knows i really couldn't give a fiddlers. This whole Ireland manger debacle is beginning to consume him and its driving me bonkers at this stage!!! If Terry Venables gets the job..well put it this way, i'm off!! Couldn't listen to another second of it!
I feel your pain sister!!

Uh worst day ever.
I bumped into the 'love of my life' (at the time) ex today. He gave me the look of death and we just ignored each other though he said hello to my friend.
Im so sick of ex's not being friends with me.I always try and be civil and friendly with them but not one of my ex's speaks to me.Its upsetting

tbh

That's quite selfish advice considering the fact that they have a kid. Wouldn't you like a bf to put your kid first?

I dont have children at the moment - OP didnt say about kids. sorry

Niamho!

ah chick thats crap. But maybe thats the only way they can deal with the relationship ending. Sometimes if someone feels really strongly and it then ends, it just hurts too much so they amputate you from their life. It can be a case of all or nothing.

Just try not to let it get to you hon. *big hugs*

With the exes that left me with the exception of one I would be civil and that's about it. Any small talk beyond "Hello", "hope you're well" and "goodbye" is pretty much off limits. Generally their existence is acknowledged politely but that's about it. They lost the right to anything but my manners, when they left and by the methods they took to do so. The one I do talk to, while hurting me at the time was much more mature and clearly cared about me and my feelings even though hers had changed. Nice person basically.

With exes I've left I would be friendlier but wouldn't be too friendly in case it made them uncomfortable. I've found that if love was discussed and it splits down the line true friendship is almost impossible. Now many may disagree, but I've also noticed that what people define as friendship often isn't anyway. With ex relationships there can be an imbalance where one is more invested in hope than the other. Where there was real chemistry and passion, friendship is frankly a downgrade. I don't do downgrades. Any ex that dumped me and then said "let's be friends" or even "you're my best friend", got short shrift from me.

With casual exes where the L word didn't come up I would be the same as I would be with anyone I knew. One or two are friends.

Ok guys quit with the piss taking. OP he is a bloke everything is your fault, not matter if you had anything to do with it or not. Is he like that all of the time, and i also find it interesting that you say that his mum doesn't like you cuz you're doing a good job bring up your son and hers. Why are you bring up her son. I think you really need to look at your relationship and see if it is worth fighting for. Yes you want to do what is best for your child but, saying that your child will not have a happy life if his parents are not happy in the situation.

Any more lesiban jokes or off topic posting will result in a ban!

Seems to me you're doing a bit of piss taking yourself, ban me for being off topic if you like, but I find it hard to take your response to the OP seriously when you preface it with such a sweeping generalisation. Have to say I'm a little surprised Jules.

Jules

In my experience when things go wrong people generally take things out on their partners, then afterwards apologise. Thats why i asked if he is like that all the time.

Im talking about my past general experiences. Im not insulting anyone directly.

And i wouldn't ban you for that semisos was banned for calling the op dumb. no other reason.

Fair enough, I wasn't insulted , just wanted to make a point about generalisations, now back on topic! OP while it's good and healthy to vent and get others opinions at the same time, you need to look seriously at your relationship with your SO. If it's bad you need to consider your options, and staying together for the sake of a child should not be the only reason, it wont work in the long run and will just build up resentment. You need to talk (and listen:)) to each other and see what can be done.

Tee hee!

OP, I take exception to you calling the thread "men". Your boyfriend is not representative of all men. Maybe you should start a thread in Personal Issues? Although you'll probably get more support over there if you use punctuation - not being smart, it's just that it's sometimes difficult to understand what you're saying. I remember a mod over there saying that very thing to someone who posted without using punctuation.
