IMGR2 0 #1 August 10, 2005 I have seen it too many times in skydiving, so many times that we even have a quote from it. "You don't lose your girlfriend, you just lose your turn" Just this year I have seen four different guys get screwed over by thier girlfriends. These girls (while in a relationship) persued relations with another skydivers. I think it all boils down to communication. If the woman is bored in the relationship or feels she is not getting out of it what she deserves why can't they just break up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #2 August 10, 2005 QuoteI think it all boils down to communication. If the woman is bored in the relationship or feels she is not getting out of it what she deserves why can't they just break up? Well that would be the mature thing to do, wouldn't it? Not everyone (male or female) is capable of acting maturely in relationships. But I'm afraid this one goes both ways..."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmpnkramer 0 #3 August 10, 2005 Maybe women are just giving back what they have gotten for so many years? I am not saying it is right but that could be the reason. Women were deemed pretty much servants for so long that now they are seeing the light. Just a thought. .Quote I have seen it too many times in skydiving, so many times that we even have a quote from it. "You don't lose your girlfriend, you just lose your turn" This is a very small community. If you cannot handle seeing your former with another then don't do it. I have a good repor with my former. The thing I cannot stand is instructors who date thier students. Very Unprofessional in my opinion! Had to add those two thoughts.

IMGR2 0 #4 August 10, 2005 How bout instructors who date your whuffo girlfriend? And as for the other comments, I was always taught growing up that two wrongs don't make it right. I just get tired of the "guys are dogs" stigma when I have spent the better part of my life trying to keep my SO happy just to find out she would rather date the asshole. Some guys get all the luck. BTW, I am speaking for a friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #5 August 10, 2005 You're probably right, it is commuication. Maybe she just wasn't that into the guy and he just wasn't getting the signals. Who knows? maybe she/they were just wrong, I don't know b/c I wasn't there. But ya know what? this highway runs in BOTH directions and for as many "girls" that have done it there are just as many "boy" that have done it too. Its happened to the best of us, myself included. The only thing you/they can do is brush yourself off and get over it or let it fester and turn you into a bitter and emotionally unstable person which will result in more unhealthy relationships.

waltappel 1 #9 August 10, 2005 QuoteI think it all boils down to communication. If the woman is bored in the relationship or feels she is not getting out of it what she deserves why can't they just break up? IMO, it's got nothing to do with gender. It's called being spineless. My most recent ex-girlfriend broke up with me in one hell of a spineless way. She wasn't involved with anyone else--I think I could have understood that a little easier. I don't think it makes her a bad person. I'm still very good friends with her. For whatever reason, I think she felt the relationship had run its course and she just didn't have the guts to face up to it. I never felt angry or bitter, just disappointed. Very disappointed. I think that on some level, I'll be feel disappointed the rest of my life. At the same time, though, I'm grateful to have had her in my life and am happy that she's still in my life. I think the worst part about her breaking up with me in a deceptive way is that I'll never be able to trust her in a relationship again. Had she simply told me that she thought it was time to gently close the door on the relationship and move on, I would have been ok with it. There would have been that little glimmer of hope that we may get back together sometime in the future. As they say, false hope is better than no hope. As it is, I know that we will never get back together because I'll never have the same level of trust with her again. Therin lies the disappointment. I was pretty much ok with the breakup anyway--I didn't raise my voice, do any name calling, or anything like that. I told her that I didn't deserve to be treated that way. It was kind of weird. She was a hell of a lot more upset than me, and I think that was because she knew that deep down she's a better person than what her behavior showed. As I said earlier, I still talk with her regularly. I still talk with her folks too--they're great people. I took the high road and feel great about it. I highly recommend it. When one person mistreats you, there's no reason to convict the entire gender over it. I dearly love women and have no intention of letting one bad experience or even a bunch of bad experiences interfere with that. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmpnkramer 0 #12 August 10, 2005 Quote How bout instructors who date your whuffo girlfriend? Personally I can say that it has not happened to me. I have been blessed with women who are faithful and I am to them. QuoteI was always taught growing up that two wrongs don't make it right. I agree. We have been in the sport about the same amount of time and have seen many bad things. I do not condone the behavior I was just throwing out some ideas and thoughts. I know an instructor who spent all his money for his wife to goto nationals and she proceeded to cheat. He is an awesome hardworking guy too. I could not believe that one. Oh yeah he supported all her jumps. SHe did not work. What gratitude huh? In reality though I do believe it happens more to women then men. Either way it is not right. It sucks!

RkyMtnHigh 0 #16 August 10, 2005 "Effective" communication truly is the key in any successful relationship. When there is a misunderstanding, clarification is necessary. Don't expect that the other can read your mind..because they can't. I think that's a big plus with my current SO..he's an effective communicator...no guessing about where he stands or his expectations. He tells it like it is, right then and there. Works for me. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WrongWay 0 #20 August 10, 2005 I don't know about you guys, but I've only dated 2 girls in my LIFE that I could still trust today, and I'm not dating either of them. Yeah, guys lie and cheat (I'll admit it, I've fucked up before, I'm not perfect), but girls do it just as much if not more, and just cuz they can hide it better doesn't make the act any less painful, especially if they are engaged or married. That's just fucked up. All I can say is this.....the next time a girl gives me the slightest indication that she may not be trustworthy....my ass is gone with the wind. It's safer that way.

kenz 0 #23 August 10, 2005 i think that either way, the small bunch in either gender that totally suck ass, give everyone else a bad name - and unfortunately our twisted society tells us to constantly forgive and forget if someone cheats - its in our faces all the time - personally i think thats a bunch of crap- if you're not into it anymore - grow a set - let go and move on -dont cheat"life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheating becomes somehow acceptable rather than face the horror of spending time alone. I'll leave you with my second favorite quote about women from that movie: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethan Hunt: She's got no training for this.
