Why do ladies assume that if a man can leave, he will leave?

For example: take the man that doesn't want, marriage, children or co-habitation. He could leave his relationship any time he got ready to with no real strings attached. That doesn't mean he will or even wants too. Yet every time I've told a woman I don't want these things even if we are in a long term relationship, she automatically assumes I'm waiting for something better to come along so I can up and leave. (has utterly convinced herself in most cases) Even though I've given her NO signs of leaving. When I'm in I'm in till the end. Just my own personal code

So why do ladies assume that if a man can leave, he will leave?

Men please tell me why a man would say this and is there a meaning to it?

Your talking to a woman that you have dated recently (mutual split) and you ask if your out of her system and she says yes (you weren't to happy about it but accepted it). Then a week or so down the line you speak to her and you make a reference about you being out of her system ( in a joking way) and she say "well actually your not" . She says that she thought you were and but your not. She says she was just so angry (didnt say it to hurt you)with the situation and thought she was over you. Now she knows she is not.

Here is my question; Why would he say well im gonna go with the first response ( yes your out of my system). I asked why would he go with that. I ask why and he kinda blew it off.

Guy if tha were you why would you say that?

Materialistic things?? Yes or No??

A friend of mine argued that if a guy is really into you and really wants to be with you alone (and not ready for marriage) that a promise ring would prove that.

I said "You do realize that some women get wedding rings and aren't always promised a faithful husband". In which she argued that the husband wasn't truly into his wife alone. This really made no sense to me but I guess my real question is:

Do materialist things prove how your significant other really feels about you? How much does that weigh in your relationship?

Can you really make that promise?

I always questioned this: when someone is trying to be apart of your life (significant other), some will say "I will never hurt you" or "I would never hurt you" and there is such certainty in their eyes that you are compelled to believe them?

I always felt, you are always going to hurt someone, not intentionally or maybe intentionally for some, emotionally than physically. It's apart of life. Whether during a big argument, disappointments, betrayal of trust..it's just bound to happen.

Can anyone honestly stand by those words?

In a nutshell, this is EXTREMELY embarrassing.

I have a date tomorrow night and she's made it plain that she wants to come home home with me. The only problem with that is that I'm sleeping on a single-sized air mattress until I get a proper bed.

AND I don't have enough money for a motel room. We talked it out and will get a room next weekend, which happens to be payday weekend.

I feel like a putz!



Update: November 19, 2009.
I THOUGHT I'd included this in an update, but... Just so everyone knows, it's not that I'm worried about what she'll think. The problem lies in the fact that she's about my age and has a touch of arthritis in her knees. I don't want to hurt her. I want it to be a positive experience in ALL aspects. That's why I'm not so sure about an air mattress on the floor. BUT, I've decided to let her make up her own mind on the matter.

Update: November 19, 2009.
One other thing I should add is that she's currently living with her daughter so she can watch the grandkids during the week and help her daughter with the bills. (The daughter is only working a part time job since she lost hers due to the company going under)

What are the rules for giving gifts in a new relationship?

Ok, I've recently started a new relationship and 2 weeks in he sends me roses for my birthday. Now, I'm not complaining but I have NO CLUE what to get him for his birthday or Christmas. (His Bday is Dec 24)

We've only been dating for about 3 weeks, and I don't know him well enough to get him something that would mean anything to him. And I'm not the kind of girl to get him anything lovey-dovey; besides, it's too early in the relationship for that anyways.

I do know he enjoys wine, but I don't want my gift to seem too impersonal.

Any ideas?!?!

Would this annoy you? I had actually like this guy until he gave the impression of a jerk.

I was casually seeing a guy I met through a friend. We had met a few times before he asked me on the first date. We went out about 5 times after that, and then he stopped talking to me. Every time we went out, he initiated it but I always resonded and accepted (except once when I was busy). After the 5th date, I asked him to get together and watch a movie later in the week if he was available, which he replied "we'll see". And of course I never heard from him again--I let it go, never contacted him for an explanation like some women do--I left it at that. Then a couple months later he texted me out of the blue and apologized profusely for how rude he was, and asked if we could still be friends or "something more". (we have a mutual friend and I know he wasn't even in the state at that time).I accepted his aplogies, but did not reply to the "something more than friends" text. Yesterday (two months after his last contact) I woke up to see I had 4 missed calls from him and a voicemail--a drunken voicemail. what gives?

How do you break things off with someone you've been together with for years and live together?

I've been with this person for quite a few years. We have lived together for at least 4 years. My heart hasn't been in this relationship for a while, but he is my best friend. Our relationship is more of a convienence. I know it is time to part, but he has no where to go. I don't know how to tell him or what to do. Any suggestions?

Should I break up with her ?

Been dating for 2 years, both are in mid 40's. She has 4 kids & I have 1 kid. Everyone gets along fine, but we have major lifestyle differences. We had a brief "break up", and she had sex with another man....now we are back together, but I don't trust her, and I don't think we have a future because of our differences. Plus I have an opportunity to date someone else right now...


Update: November 19, 2009.
I appreciate everyone's insight, and my intuition tells me to end it. Would each of you be so kind as to share your thoughts on other pertinent information ? 1 ) She has 4 wonderful kids, and I personally think moving in with her & taking on that unknown should give me carte blanch for type of house to live in...is that reasonable or unreasonable on my part ? She wants the 2+ acre yard/fixer upper & I want to keep it simple with a newer house & .75 acre yard 2 ) Technically we were still seeing each other, and said we could see other people...I saw no one, and she did the eharmony thing & went out to dinner with "a friend"....and she happened to have unprotected sex with that friend .....then she comes back to me saying she wants to just see me....Basically I don't think she cheated on me, but I do think her actions were highly irresponsible and inconsiderate. Thoughts ?
