Those without kids need not respond.
He's not saying have kids because the grandparents are cool, and will likely love to watch them.
But have them because you love your SO. Doy!

What is 'need' in this context?

If you want to change what he typed, to a thing that you personally believe to be true, that is fine. I will probably have a different response to a different statement.

His statement, as written, was dumber than shit.

Doy!

At the risk of sounding like a dick -

i feel like i'm teaching her lessons. and the stuff thats happening is normal and if i just stick it out, and deal with each thing as it comes by openly discussing my feelings, then she could learn and grow and become a great person with my help.

Do you want to be this chick's father, or her boyfriend? Cause right now you sure as hell aren't the latter.

You've been posting drama about this chick from the get-go. This shit's never gonna change as long as you're with her. I admit I got kind of an off-vibe from her when you let me crash at your place last Feb, and pretty much everything you've posted confirms that vibe. I can understand if there's issues in a relationship that you feel you need to work out on YOUR OWN end of things - I've spent more than one all-nighter pondering near-philisophical topics regarding relationships (''I can't REALLY fault her for this because the onus is on me due to xyz'' etc) - but your last post is kinda the opposite of that. It's not your responsibility to make her ''become a great person with your help'', and if you're only in this relationship because you're waiting for this magical future moment to come where she will suddenly grow up...Might wanna rethink it, dude :/

Also RE: Parents - totally surprised to see so many people have this much of an issue with their SO's parents. I can understand if their parents were assholes or whatever, but once a week doesn't seem that bad to me. None of my previous (or current) interests' parents have been the most fun people in the world, but by that same token, it's not the end of the world to spend a few hours with them, either. I have dinner with my dad and my brother every Sunday. I dunno, maybe it's cause most of you guys discussing this have a good 8+ years on me, but if nothing else, you could take the selfish route - free meal cooked for you every week.

Cmorgan, you know you're my bro, but is everyone assuming Frink is incapable of sarcasm or something?? I thought he was just flippantly making a joke.

it is a failing of mine

I know, I know. But I love you anyway. Because you tolerate me despite my also terrible jokes.

Damn dude, I'm not sure why you're being so hardline on this one. I read Frink's post as sarcasm, too. I see your point that taken straight, it would be the most ridiculous piece of advice ever, but I mean c'mon. Who would seriously give that kind of advice?

travis: Actually I am taking the selfish route, hehe. Selfish with my free time. Maybe it is an age thing, but I tend to feel like my weekend days are precious and giving one up every single week is unthinkable. Even for free food!

[cetera]

i have broken up with her the final time. thank you all for your patience.
its bloody as shit over here.
she wont give up the keys to my house.
she is completely not understanding of why i am doing this.
i hate this shit.

agreed.
weekend hours, even.

weekend hours, even. yup.

Good call. Every hour is, in fact, precious.

[TV's Frink]

Holy shit, so much drama over my stupid joke.

I say again...

[joe.distort]

[TV's Frink]

ironyengine has a long history of this. But whatever.

So, back to GIRLS! then?

[Quezo]

Holy shit, so much drama over my stupid joke.

Unless I was misunderstood, I stand with you on this one.

BIAS. UNFAIR.

Life is pretty good.

made an eharmony profile... my "matches" don't seem to have much in common with me. In fact, Im pretty sure at least 70% of them would hate my guts.

maybe I should try a normal dating site.
