but to let you know when he/we will be in, would be setting us up for failure, since if we’re having a good time, we’ll stay out later, and if it sucks, or we’re tired, we’ll head on home.

It is simplistic, I know.

am I wrong here Men? ( feels kinda like an episode of oprah )[/quote]

I getcha Edgy … I don’t “check in” but I let my gf know when I’ll be home. If I’m not sure what time I’ll be home I let her know not to wait up or whatever. I don’t really see it as a chore though, I think it’s just being conciderate to your significant other. If I didn’t care about my girlfriend I wouldn’t even bother calling at all, but then again i wouldn’t be living with her either so…[/quote]

Exactly, I just took his actions to the natural conclusion that Polo also reached. He said I was wrong, well, he grunted a few uh uh sort of words. But if his actions don’t show he cares, and his words don’t show he cares, how am I supposed to believe he cares? When I ask him, I get no response, just another indication of I don’t care, or I don’t care enough to try. All paths, same destination.

(ducking from the verbal assaults)

Ahem…

I…uh…started to try to help ya’all understand the male condition. Not defend any particular mans actions. are…uh…we still freinds?

Ya’all are invited to join me for a beer…I’m buyin!

You too Polo - you’re the only one with the guts to help me out here!

583

^that’s the only reason to help anyone out Edgy … beer!!

584

Don’t worry Edgy, I’m not mad at you. Let’s just say that you and I would never work in a relationship and leave it at that.

I hope you didn’t take any of my posts to be directed at you. I’ve just been really pissed off at my bf for any number of reasons lately and this discussion just struck a chord with me.

For the record, though, it is really annoying to never know when the person you live with is going to be home. It makes screwing around nearly impossible!!

Oh. And a beer sounds awesome right about now!

585

Barkeep!

Two Beers, and make it snappy! anyone else? I’m buyin!

SP, Don’t be so hasty on the ‘you and I would never work’ comment. I was giving you and PCH some insight as to how us hunter type’s think, and how our brains work. There is sooooooooooooo much more to a relationship than calling to let you know I’m gonna be late forchristsake.

so…since your mad at your bf, and he obviously ain’t coming home soon…well?

Bring PCH. we could…ahem…talk, ya’know?

:open_mouth:

I skipped the drama and moved in with my now hubby, wow, 13 yrs ago :stuck_out_tongue: more or less after the 1st date…

sometimes you just know…

the downside to that is that if anything were to ever happen, I have ZERO game haha! I never dated, or had various boyfriends, none of it…

so I guess I’ll just stay married :stuck_out_tongue:

Here i am.

THIS.

It’s called “COMMON COURTESY”. People make communication SO much harder than what it should be, imo.

If you genuinely love or at least care deeply about someone, you TRY to find a way to express how you feel… It’s not easy, but you cannot have one way dialogue in a relationship. You start resenting the person and the walls start going up.

Oh, i’ve cried during break ups. Hell, if you’ve loved someone enough to be with them for 10 years and been through a lot of crap with them, then why wouldn’t you be emotional?

Pch2: There’s not a damn thing wrong with what you’re looking for. You have to have that communication…at least to a certain degree. Some people need it more than others. It’s about compatibility. It doesn’t mean that they were bad people.

Just my 2 cents.

^where you been Hungry?

I coulda used some of your wisdom earlier, before I opened my big mouth.

where’s the luv forchristsake?

So work’s winding down and I’m getting antsy to hit the gym. I love this part of the day. I’m just picturing strapping my wrist wraps tight and loading some weight up and getting down and zoning in. Anyone else ever feel excited about it? no matter how stressful your day was as soon as you start picturing the weights all that stress is freed. Ooooo baby it’s gonna be a good one!!

592

ya, I still get butterflies…

The DC ones seem okay for front delts & I can get the rear delts with a ‘french press/skullcrusher/pullover hybrid’, but ima not feeling it inna da sides.

To be honest I think the best medial delt stretch is from a heavy deadlift or shrug. If you could find a way to load your arm down and across your torso that would probably do it a bit better, but it sounds like something that would pull your arm out of its socket :/. Actually if you set up a couple of low pulleys with D handles you could try it like that, maybe behind your back would do it better but I’ve never really tried anything like that.

I think if you did heavy shrugs after laterals that would be the most un-obstructive mid delt stretch to add to your training, though I’m not sure if it would actually stretch it enough to achieve anything like you can with the chest stretch for example. I think if you ask the DC crew theyâ??d probably tell you itâ??s not worth the effort.
