PLFXpert 0 #79 May 15, 2006 Ask Billy anytime and confirm.We definitely have arguements, like any other couple (but rarely in the past few years---was more often in the first couple years of our relationship when I was still just 20 & 21 years old and he was still pretty immature at his age, too) but we don't argue/fight like you hear statistically couples do. For example: We've NEVER fought about money. We've never had any jealousy issues. We do NOT bring up the past, mostly b/c neither of us keep track of it. Both of us live for today and tomorrow. Billy lives much more for today than tomorrow and I live much more for tomorrow than today---so we really even each other out in that respect. We're opposites in many ways, but a perfect fitPaint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #80 May 15, 2006 Quote"PLFXpert is obviously not one of those Psycho women that jen is "refering" to..." No, but my original statement was that anyone can have "pyscho-like" tendencies. I love Krisanne, but I have disagree she is not capable--b/c I know she's a good & caring person. It's only the ones who don't care about anyone or anything that have it in them to ALWAYS remain calm and collective. I think if you're someone who has never lost your cool, then I'm scared of you---usually later on in life such a person blows up and goes Ba-nan-nas! By no means does loosing your cool = psycho. Just that it can be funny to look back on and reflect when you're not "in the moment" anymore. I'll never forget that instance I noted b/c he saved the messages (having only listened to half of the first couple before giving up) and gave his phone to me to listen to them saying "If you really want me to listen to these after you're done, I will" but I didn't---and hearing myself was HILARIOUS! I was actually happy I had my words documented for later review. And for the record, I gave up after the first couple, too. I've said it before and it sounds cliche, but I believe it to be so true for me. Laughter is the key to a successful relationship. We've been together almost 6 years and are even more in love now than we ever were. We've gotten to the point that we almost CAN'T argue b/c we start laughing or making fun (in a non-mean-spirited way) of each other and it becomes too funny to keep a straight face. The problem is usually noted, solved and then laughed about instantly. I think we know each other so well that....I don't know...everything is funny and we're always cracking each other up. We have fun together no matter what.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I make an effort not to talk it out on others... and since I've pretty much been by myself my entire life I've never had to deal with the "perils" of a long term serious relationship. does that mean that I believe that a serious relationship should always be happy and disagreements shouldn't occur, No... my parents had their share of disagreements and yet I know/trust (and presumabaly they believe as well) that the other loves them... and as such they are still happily married. true love should be effortless at times but people shouldn't expect it to be "perfect" happiness all the time...

PLFXpert 0 #82 May 15, 2006 I've never thrown an object, never hit someone or something, never destroyed anything to express my hurt. But, I've definitely screamed, slammed a door, and driven off (but just to the nearest place to park b/c I don't believe in driving while upset). I'm not ashamed of any of those things. Mostly when I've been really hurt, I sat in my closet Some people might even call that weird or psycho but whatever it is about my closet, I eventually feel better---I sit, I think, I'm in a small, quiet room and sometimes I look up and see a shirt I forgot I had and think about wearing it--which makes me laugh at thinking of something so trivial when I'm upset, and then that in itself makes me feel better, too. Anywho....these things do not embarass me. I don't see why they shouldPaint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #83 May 15, 2006 I do much the same thing... generally I try to work out my anger on my own... I would never hit someone ... and when I'm angry with someone or something... I usually try to isolate myself so that I can work through those things because... hmm... I can't think of how to word it... but perhaps the best way to put my anger management process is to internalize, then accept... good or bad we have to accept the world for what it is...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites NWFlyer 2 #95 May 15, 2006 Never claimed I don't get upset. Never claimed that I don't get angry. What I *don't* do is behave in an irrational manner the vast majority of the time. And if I do, I recognize it really, really quickly for what it is, acknowledge what it is, and move on. I think the true "psychos" don't recognize the irrational behavior when they're in the midst of it, and they might not even recognize the irrational behavior after the fact or when someone points it out to them. There is one person in this world who can on rare occasions bring out the psycho in me, and that's my brother. He and I had a less-than-perfect relationship growing up, and while we've grown up and grown closer, he still has the ability to push long-dormant buttons simply because of who he is and our history. But even then, I recognize where that behavior is coming from and that it has nothing whatsoever to do with the person he is today or the relationshp we have today, and I put a stop to it. So I disagree that we all have "psycho" tendencies, unless we're defining the word differently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PLFXpert 0 #96 May 15, 2006 We might be definiting it differently. I don't know. I was definining it more playfully than seriously. In other words, we all are capable once in a blue moon of doing things we otherwise wouldn't that are ridiculous and silly in the aftermath--but in the moment we are so emotional we are obviously not thinking as clearly as we would ordinarily. If you disagree, I respect that. Emotions are a funny thing. Some people are more open about them and some are not. I agree with most everything else you said---some people just need drama. One can't assume someone is a drama king/queen, though, simply b/c their emotions might have gotten away with them. Everyone reacts differently based on genes, upbringing and surroundings. Unless I've known someone to repeatedly fly-off-the-handle I really don't consider them abnormal, much less actually "psycho". Of course, I do have a lot of quirky friends And then there's the fact that you never know what else is going on in someone's life at the time. I don't know----I just like to have as many facts as possible before I deem anyone anything, but to say one never does something ridiculous w/out thinking, well, it's definitely possible, but in my opinion highly unlikely. Again---could just be I'm surrounded by enough crazies that I appear sane Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites NWFlyer 2 #97 May 15, 2006 That definition, I agree with. But the idea that we are all a little bit "psycho" reinforces stereotypes I'd rather not help reinforce. I think you'll also find (if you do it right) that your psycho tendencies will diminish the older you get ... the little stuff just becomes less worth getting worked up about, and you get better at communicating on the big stuff so that it doesn't drive you to irrational behavior. At least that's been my personal experience. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
