You don't know me one bit so I'd kindly request that you keep such comments to yourself.

Eh well thanks to YOU, yes YOU, I now know various little tidbits about your dysfunctional dating life and obviously now, that you are a tool.

halenger · 03-04-2005 08:19PM

Dysfunctional dating life? Lol. That was over 2 years ago, closer to 2.5 at this stage. I'm well over that.

Nermal: The whole post wasn't about me, sorry to say. I'm not _that_ great.

I can testify that his dating life is far from disfunctional - quite nice and happy :-)

Oh and if u can get to know someone from one post than i'm gonna get quite worried now. :-)

Oh and why is crying a bad thing? I don't think people who cry are weak - rather that they aren't bottling it all up until a point whereby they turn mental and kill everyone in sight.

2) the way he used to flirt my mates when i wouldnt talk to him.

Tbh, if you were giving him the silent treatment, it sounds like you kinda deserved it.

4) the way he got all pissed off if his team didnt win. Christ like its only a freakin game.

This is one of my pet peeves.. women who have a complete naivety for their partner's die-hard interests. I don't care if you don't "get it". God knows we put up with your emotional instability. Show him you understand he has a passion for this and don't be such an undermining spa. God that is such turnoff. Trust me he'll think you a keeper..

My others include:
- The "nothing" answer to "whats wrong" when there's something obviously wrong. When I get this answer I pretend to believe it. I mean if you're not gonna be straight with me then you're not gettin no sympathy.
- Crying for no reason
- Expecting everything to be perfect. Perfect first kiss.. first this perfect that.. FFS! Complaining when they're not and ruining the moment "just a sec the music isnt right" Nobody can live up to that! Just enjoy life, have a good time and laugh at the things when they go awry. We're not in a fukin movie! Expectations can KILL a relationship.
- Hardly eating infront of me when you're slim / completely gorging yourself in a fit of gluttony when you're notsoslim.
- Whats with the hair always being tied back!? It's never as good as when down!
- Lastly, don't rub the lamp if you're not willing to let the genie come out. Talk about frustrating..

Hoochiemama sounds like the only girl with the right to complain (and boy does she have it)..

Another happy post from Halenger Industries.

lol, cheers!! Now if i go out with someone the one and only thing i demand is independence. I agree with you as well on most of ur points, esp the football one!! Jeez, i dont like football but guys are guys, this is what they are passionate about!! deal with it.

i read in an (english) magazine the other day that 76% of men would prefer to score the winning goal for England in the world cup than have sex.

lol, i was surprised the percentage wasnt higher!!!

Hoochiemama · 03-04-2005 11:40PM

Oh, and I hate when people try to change me. I am who I am!! Deal with it or get out of here!! lol, i sound like such a moany cow!

alright first off. I agree lads are lads but getting so depressed that their team lost and taking it out on me is not on, i mean just get over it. That bloke im on about trained a lot at diff sports, we never really had much hang out time, was mostly texting week nights and when id see him on sat after a match he just acted like a complete gobsh!te. And he never had to put up with my "emotional instability"

2nd off- theres always a reason.

tSubh Dearg · 04-04-2005 01:10AM

The one thing that really pissed me off about one of my ex's was that he used to patronise me in front of my friends if I made a little mistake.

I'm quite prone to spoonerisms and malapropisms but my friends are used to this, there is no need to point out my mistake in front of my friends in such a way as to make everyone embarrassed.

That's the only thing that's ever really gotten to me.

Suaimhneach · 04-04-2005 01:18AM

Jesus lads, halenger has tried to put that public quibble to rest, let it go will ya's?

Pet peeves of mine -
Not telling me he has another girl friend until he had to dump me because he got her pregnant.
Shaking his leg when it was touching mine, so that it made my leg shake.

I think thats about it. People always have something that'll bug someone else, but sure that's jus the way of it. A relationship is built on getting past pet peeves, among other things.

ApeXaviour · 04-04-2005 01:19AM

Why? Cos his ex basically made him look like a tool and he put up a rebuttle.. tbh I'd do the same. You have no basis on which to say the above other than to draw him out into a petty flame. Clam it with the pseudopsych analysis.

Why else would you bother to flame him?

Megatron · 04-04-2005 09:50AM

Hmmm pet peeves,

The football thing, where if my team lost a imporant match ( like trying to sta up) and i was a bit p*ssed off about it, saying it's only a game, then when she's in a state over something that happened on Corrie and i say "it's only a show" , her responc was to start throwing objects ( Cushions, tv remote .... cups) at me. So i never mentioned it again, i said sorry , but she couldnt' see how she was wrong....

Insisting that i like her friends. Listen if i don't like some one it's not because i just decided it, I take my time to try and decided. ( one of her friends liked me , and did everything she could to break us up, didn't work though).

Dropping friends once you start dating. I really hate this.... or when they expect you to do the same. and thankfully i have never done this.

The What's wrong - nothing part , all my gf's found out very quickly that unless they was a clear indication otherwise i would leave it as that.

I'm too tired. ok i was working 80 - 90 hour weeks, when i did get home some days i just wanted to sleep, veg out. but ohhh no you don't , come and help me look at clothes , No , ok then i won't speak to you for 3 days , but will leave voicemails where she sounded thoughly pissed off.

But as was said, relationships are build with loving the other person for who they are, warts and all

Add that to my list as well.

I think that's more than a peeve tbh

What I had in mind when I started this thread were those things that you wish you could change about your (ex)partner because they're quite infuriating little personality foibles but that you'll put up with because you love them...

Oh, and another one for me: being late. All the time. To the extent where after about a month I got into the habit of treating any time we had arranged to meet as being 15 minutes before the real time to be there for.

Whats your problem with him anyway? He merely rebutted some 'accusations' in fair manner.

They weren't accusations. And please really think before replying.

Ah, was just trying to give some perspective.

That was maybe, two years ago now.

I used to have lots of personal pet peeves with everyone. But I had to get over everysingle one of them, because otherwise it'd drive me up the wall!!

Tho, the leg shaking thing stilll stands, dont mind if its going on, once its not effecting me.

One thing that used to drive me mad was:
She'd watch about 2 hours of Soaps a day. I hate soaps, but I embrace that everyone is different, so I'd play some games for the two hours. By the end of the week, I'd get a bollocking because I'm "always on the pc/we don't spend time together".

...so I'm supposed to watch something I don't like, just so I can be in your presence? I suggested nude TV hour - it didn't wash. I tried.

(Different girl) B1tching, just to be b1tching. She try and b1tch to me about someone, I'd try to be impartial (she hated that), so she'd get thick with me, ring a suitable friend and b1tch to her hearts content. It always sounded so childish and petty - it didn't last long at all.

(Different girl) Actually this is my biggest peev, as was better said already (kudos ApeXaviour) than I could: don't rub the lamp if you're not willing to let the genie come out

Pyr0 · 04-04-2005 04:51PM

As said before being late really gets to me,tbh If I make an effort to be on time/early so should you...It's worse If I ask why they were late and I get "I dunno" or "I lost track of time" doesn't cut it......

Sleepy · 04-04-2005 05:15PM

Not swallowing.

I actually lived with him. He was an mc; in his brain.

While it's always nice - it dosen't bother me. What really gets me though, is stepping up to the mike, bringing it almost to a climax, and then stopping for fear of what will happen! Gimmie a break - thats the whole bloody point!

Hoochiemama · 04-04-2005 05:30PM

well at least guys always get off. most lads dont even know what they're doing!!! irritates me so much. the rare few that do should be worshipped.

Suaimhneach · 04-04-2005 06:36PM

Everyone can be taught if you as me!

Sleepy · 04-04-2005 08:52PM

Course they can.
