Is living with women always this headwrecking?

    She sounds very annoying. You both sound quite immature if over 20.

    Look at this from your girlfriend's point of view, OP. It's inevitably head-wrecking to date someone whose never been in a relationship.

    In my experience they tend to be less considerate of other people, and less emotionally intelligent than people who've had some experience of dating. And the inevitable breakup will be agonisingly self-indulgent/ hysterical.

    Whenever I go on a first date and hear the immortal words "I've never been in a serious relationship", I weigh up my chances of getting the ride that night, because one thing is sure, we'll never see one another again.

    Two living rooms, two tvs, two beds even.

    Join up for a bit of nooky now and then. Share the bills and the food. Do your own thing when you want to. Then the joy of joining up is fab.

    Take it from me. Your own space is paramount. End of.

    I once told a girl I used to live with to turn the telly down as it was too loud, she told me there must be something wrong with my hearing as she could barely hear it.

    Your probably as bad as her to be honest.

    So, by that account, stick with her. So no one else get's the unfortunate hassle of dating either of the 2 of ye.

    Fascinating. Have you ever considered an autobiography? ;)

    Yes OP. All women and indeed all relationships are the same. It's good that you've figured it out earlier in life, it'll save you some time in the long run.

    I was in the living room and she was on Youtube watching videos of cute babies and how to apply make up which usually means she is in a good mood.

    You don't sound compatible. She's looking for a SemenInHerEggs kinda guy.

    Threads like this remind me why I'm so lucky I don't have a spotify subscription.

    What you're describing is not a woman, but a girl.

    She's not a girl, not yet a woman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete


    Sounds like she just wants you to involve her in more of what you're doing tbf.

    Listening to music you both like makes sense. You could always play Nirvana full blast when she's not home.

    I also sense some tension and so perhaps a little gentle S&M is something you could both enjoy?

    You could even play music at the same time.

    Yes, Yes it is. I thought this was known


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,540 ✭✭✭emo72


    Fights like this are normal. The dude is being very considerate listening on his headphones. Have the fight, leave reach other alone for a while, and then everyone comes to their senses. Who expects relationships to run smoothly anyway?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,303 ✭✭✭0ph0rce0


    Ah the old kitchen bin.

    The bin i don't put anything in as i don't want a smelly kitchen, so i put everything we use straight into the wheelie bin. But she fills it with tons of crap and then expects me to put it out. And then starts a fight if it's not done. It's all my fault.


    But when i take a dump and leave it there and ask her why she hasn't flushed my sh!t away she says its not the same and gets in another mood.

    It's Exactly The Same Love.


    Just get out now while you can it's not worth it mate.

    Op there is only one thing you have to do in order to avoid such situations in future and maintain a happy environment with your other half in which you can both enjoy your passtimes... Oh hang on, gotta go, the wife isn't happy that I'm on boards again.

    i lived for a year completely alone in my apartment

    Ha! The 3rd paragraph killed your 2nd paragraph.

    This. It depends on the bloke's personality too mind you. A lot. Some are just monumental knob ends and I am not shocked when the women in their lives give them static.

    As for the women to avoid? IMH and IME those women who need to doing something All. The. Time. You may know the type. The never relaxed, the never quite happy, so require a constant distraction/entertaining. The ones who suggest you need to relax on a Saturday afternoon and then have a face on after an hour of you trying to, because you're not relaxing the way she wants. When with time your horniness and love wears down and you're living a day to day reality they will make your life a purgatory. Go for easy going with the happy gene.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Just heard a story of a break up / the now X of a friend of a friend left loads of knives in the bed as a hint she wanted a faster divorce and half the house.

    Choose carefully

    There is an approx 50:50 chance of a relationship making it past the 10 year mark from what I'm seeing of all my mates.

    Malahide harbour has men living in boats and others living in bed sits

    Wimmins are like hurricanes

    They arrive wet and wild

    But take the house with them when they go ....

    Yes, living with women is always headwrecking. We're all daft, annoying cnuts, and we should all piss off and live in caves together and leave the menfolk to sort things out the manly way.
    So we should.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,297 ✭✭✭✭Sam Kade


    She's a pain in the hole.
    Get it out now.Seriously.

    No good will come of that hag.

    In 20 years she'll ask him "do you think we should marry?"and he'll reply "who do you think would marry either of us?" :D

    My husband and I both have Asperger's and we met and married in our mid-40s. Our heads are already pre-wrecked, and the dust has settled and the grass is growing on top of the wreckage. We manage because we know we're both hard work, but we consider it worth it. Neither of us nag, but then again, the trash sometimes doesn't get emptied at the exact optimum time... so what.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,798 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    It's Sunday, so this is indeed the correct day for the anti-women thread, but it's generally supposed to be about how you didn't pull on Saturday night and therefore Irish women in general just suck.

    But... It's close enough, so we'll accept it. Five points to AH!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,237 ✭✭✭magentis


    Blast her with piss and run.

    Having actually read the OP, yes she's being highly unreasonable. If this was a once off I'd let it go, if this was how she generally is I wouldn't be living with her in the first place tbh. I despise people who yell from one room to the other, if it's important enough either come and say it or send a text. But, I'm a musician and producer so I spend half my life with headphones on, and if anyone threatened the sanctity of that they'd be sleeping in the garden for a night or two with the local foxes.
