As I am young, I don't have to live with the emotional consequences of my actions. I always feel there will be another girl. So it makes it easy for me to say , "Tell them they can go fuck themselves." I get worked up, I get pissed off, I can break down. But I have never taken it out on those around me. I find a woman I date to be weak when she goes ape-shit at me for things that I help her with/through only to suddenly become the cause of the problem to begin with. I should work at that myself, I know, but it still drives me bat-shit. They only get to accuse me of that once for free... maybe twice or three times if they are smoking hot AND can keep up with me mentally. After that, too bad so sad. I'll be there for you if I haven't got anything better to do but don't expect me there at the same emotional capacity as before.
When it is a long lasting relationship, and between two people I feel to be mature: I have to think there was good something there, and now there is something else gumming up the works. The love boat couldn't have been sailing for so long, otherwise. So the optimist in me whispers that they should do all they can to salvage that boat, before both drown.
