That is what he keeps telling himself, but I seriously doubt he is amused.

Maybe he doesn't care if people are nice to him or not, just as long as they give him attention. Aww....just like a little kid acting up in class...:rose:

Seriously fuck you.
Word, write letters and sh*t yo. It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

I didn't think I could get to you like that.

If you can talk to each other like adults and not be a 'have to be right all the time' person then I think that is the key.
In my experience (which, admittedly, is not as long as others here) this is THE key. There's the idea that the most stable relationships are defined by how the partners argue, since disagreement and arguments are inevitable, you HAVE to be able to get through them without coming out bigger enemies on the other side. Pretty much the only way to do that is to put your ego aside and realize you don't have to be right, that the relationship is more valuable than winning some stupid argument over who said what or who put what in the kitchen sink. It's a very natural tendency, the need to be right. We all suffer from it. I think the strongest and wisest individuals are the ones who can put that aside and see past it.

Agreed, communication is very important, but I don't think it's the key. IMHO the key for a successful relationship is that both have to understand why they are together, the 'real' reasons: The answer is not 'we are in love', but should answer 'why we are in love'. Too often people don't love really somebody, sometimes they love the image they have of the people (they love the interface, not the object it self), or they are with somebody because 'they feel good' - the relationship then fills a void, compensates for something. Both situations will lead to complications and unhappiness, and generally the result is clearly visible with the children, Mr. CataclysmicQuantum being an example.

I can understand the question of monagamy. I used to joke that it's still Corn Flakes everyday. You can add sugar, strawberries...but it's still Corn Flakes. If you both decide as a couple to maybe try, say, Fruit Loops, then try it together. But don't be sneaking Cookie Crunch behind your spouse's back. I think the infidelity comes from not communicating what you need from the other. Many women feel they are not appreciated, so maybe they stray to someone who showers them with extra attention and makes them feel important. Maybe a guy isn't communicating his feelings and it just looks like sex to the woman. he might stray to someone who makes him feel like the hero. Kori and I argue but there are a couple of things I have found that are the foundation to our 12 years. 1. Learn to admit fault. Hard to do, but sometimes saying, "Yeah, that was wrong of me" goes a long way. Your partner will respect you for it because he/she knows how hard it is. 2. Learn to laugh at yourself. Sometimes you can end the tension by just cracking a joke at your own expense. 3. Discuss the behavior, not the person. Say, "It bothers me when you do this ___." Attacking the person is wrong and gets you nowhere. Your spouse may show idiotic behavior, but you would not be together if they were really an idiot. 4. Don't hide what is bothering you--don't let it stew. I know this is a problem for lots of women. 5. At the end of the day, meet in the middle. If it were up to my husband we'd have sex 5 times a week but I'm not a 19 year old college student anymore. He's learned that I'm more like a sine wave rather than a linear straight line. He's learned to wait a couple days for my wave to go up and the sex is way better. Sorry if that is too graphic but I think that's a problem between men and women.

So you say that in both case people need to get some 'recognition', to feel to be appreciated? Ok with that, but I think it's a consequence of our education, our values being more and more centered on th Individuality: people have more and more difficulties to grow up and assume themselves, they need the look of someone to feel good. I think there's a bigger, more fundamental difference between women and men: If it's may be difficult for a boy to become a man (he 'just' have to become independent from his mother), it's much more complicated for a girl to become a woman. IMO most of the problems in a couple are related to these two facts.
