Saw a friend at the store today, he told me his wife of about a year, didn't come home from work one night.
He called, no answer. After all night, he called the police thinking something happened to her. They found her, she said she wasn't coming back. She had met a man on Facebook, and was now with him. Her new man called and wanted to come get her stuff, he said no. So she sent her brother to get it, he was pissed and said he was tired of her crap!

So now I am wondering myself, are there any warning signs that can tip us men that a chick might do this crap?

Sounds like your friend won the lottery. No kids, probably tired of f-ing her, she cheated and moved out on her own accord instead of expecting him to move out so she could f-ck the new guy in their house and bed. Divorce should be relatively easy in this case. Sounds like a pretty successful marriage for a man by today's standards actually. Getting married today for men is as risky as sharing heroin needles with someone with AIDS. Your friend did well actually in avoiding a death sentence.

Dear Glass half full,
Dasein is right...good riddance to bad rubbish..
Warning Signs:One that I ignored was her spending incredible amounts of time on her Yoga Classes,where she was very friendly with a lot of New Age Ladies,then there was new expensive Jewelry and finally not wearing her wedding Ring...It all happens so gradually you don't really worry about it!

There's always signs that are going on but some men ignore them and just don't see them. She most likely was on the computer more often and probably on the phone with the oher guy. Probably told him she was going out with friends when she was with the guy. He must be pretty blind or dumb not to notice anything going on under his nose. Women just don't get up and leave without showing some sort of different behavior. At least he got off easy with her.

Good indicators are changes in the usual things she does. If she takes up a new hobby, starts listening to different music, or starts going to different places, those are good indicators that she's working on overhauling her life with a new guy.

Those could be either symptoms of an affair or risk factors for one.

Abnormal *****iness, changes in daily routines, changes in relationship routines, even something like buying a pet could be a tip off. Usually a sign for me to.back waaay off, pull the rug from under her feet before she gets them set to do. wtfever she's prepping for.

screening is quite easy to do if you aren't in a hurry or trying to make a gilr your soulmate after 3 dates.

The longer you draw it out the more obvious the flags are. By the time i decided to DATE my wife, i pretty much knew all there was to know. the good and the bad, and was okay with it all overall. That's the biggest mistake men make

too quick to rush into a relationship

Funny who men are not in tune as women are into the subtle changes that takes place. Most men are too busy to see it coming....where if we men change any minor routine....women normally pick up on it right away. Abe
 

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

I would guess their sex life was going downhill before she left. That's the best barometer of a relationship, because it's the hardest part for the woman to fake after her emotional connection to you has died.

When a woman changes her hair out of the blue, watch out!

Don't know why but practically every woman I've had relationships changed their hairstyle either right before or right after we broke up.

yeah because she is taking up the things the new guy likes. Spending more time away from home, becoming more involved in other new activities, and spending less time with the husband. A marriage is different because you can see all this unfolding 24hrs everyday. A girlfriend you're not living with might be more difficult to pick up on at first because you're not around 24/7.

because they want to impress the new guy. Also women that go on diets and buy different types of clothing. Also if they start using new words or slang. Knew a guy who's wife left him and she started dressing different and used the word "dude" a lot. Any changes out of the oridinary are signs. be aware.

This is a paranoia thread - we must realize life is like the Bell Curve of probability. There are as many compulsive cheaters as totally faithful human beings, with 70% somewhere in the middle spread of average tendencies to go either direction.

Our job is to find that 15% of women in the left of the Bell Curve spread who has unwavering belief system in loyalty and character.

Is this Bell Curve probability spread a theory in statistical analysis? Absolutely. Just a theory but a proven one so far in the business and mathematical world .

This is what happened to me in late November-December:

- worked a lot of 8 - 10 hour days in the last two months
- everything might have been more peaceful then

- Definite Sign #1: she told me that I could not have her pw to Facebook anymore. I just figured since she was bipolar that she was being her "normal" weirdness. It was odd at the time but I was too busy to do anything about it.

- Started to message me less. I noticed this but this has been normal for some days so I ignored it.

- Definite Sign #2: She had a 'girls night out' without telling or asking me about a week before we split up. I could not reach her for about 6 hours even though she told me later that it sucked and wanted to shag when she came home.

- Definite Sign #3: She did something to annoy me.. I don't remember what since I was used to her and her bipolar behaviour. Got me so upset I started to pick up my stuff. This was quite normal for the both of us... One person gets annoyed, then we both calm down and discuss things and pretend it didn't happen. It was our "normal". The sign was SHE STARTED to DISTANCE HERSELF even though I did not change our relationship status. We did not hangout for 2-3 days because she wanted to work on her computers ALONE. That's when I knew this wasn't going to be pretty.

So there you have it. The signs are fairly obvious but when you are dealing with someone with a mental illness, they can go coo-coo at anytime. Also, I was so busy busting my butt that I did not have time to deal with her drama until after things were FUBARED.

I can still remember the fifty things I rationalized by saying "marriages have good year's and bad, we will get through this". The blue pill is incredibly strong, when it is literally all you know.

There really should be a class in high school for men on how the world ACTUALLY works. There are a billion guys out there with no clue, and some of them will never wake up.

Because I used to have this problem . I used to have this problem bad. " I didn't see it coming"

The problem is that most guys look for reasons to not dump a woman, rather than looking for reasons to keep a woman around.


What I do, or did, is I had a checklist of things that a woman would have to do. I wouldn't tell her what it was, but she had to do it allf for me to even, consider, dating her. It was something like

* At least show that she tolerates horse racing. horse racing is too big a part of my life for a woman to not like it. A "yeah I like horses" on a first date isn't good enough. She's got to come to the track with me, more than once, and not filch. "Babe i'm going to the track" is about the most common phrase out of my mouth to my wife


2. Ditto with health. The 2nd most uttered phrase out of my mouth is "babe i'm going to the gym". I watch what i eat. I can't be with a woman who thinks baked salmon and brown rice is boring becuase this is what I eat, like all the time. She has to show me she eats healthy and she can't be sabotaging my diet.


3. Has to show me that she can express her feelings without getting irrational and pissy. I purposely picked a fight with my now wife just to see how she would react. I've done this more than once. nothing earth shattering but enough to where i knew she'd be pissed

4. Has a life of her own. I'm a busy dude. Between NA meetings, work, track, gym, hobbies like the piano I don't have time to baby a grown ass woman. I can't have a woman that expects 10-20 texts a day. I have to have a woman that isn't going to get butt hurt if i'm too busy to call her one day and i don't spend the first half of the next day playing makeup. My wife went out of town with her girlfriends a few months ago and one of them commented that i had not called her and her response was "well he's obviously busy" zero ****s given by her. that's my baby :)


5. is not a skank. Self explanatory. A woman can play like she isn't a skank for a few weeks but skank like behavior is too hard if not impossible to cover up if you string her along for a few months. She'll eventually have to blow the guy she meet the other day. She will eventually have to do something skank like.


6. And this is for me, but i Have enough money where I have to make sure thy aren't out for my money, so I eventually make them or wait for them to do something for me. My wife when we were dating offered to co sign for me on my mercedes I Had. my credit wasn't all that great and i wanted it and she's bullets and i ws going to buy it outright she told me to save my money, lease it and just let her co sign for it. That and we got some credit cards together. she raised my credit score like 200 points in 6 years lol.


until a woman does those things, they get nothing. if that means i'm single **** it.

If she's a natural born liar, you will not know jack shıt and she'll blind side you in a major, major way when she leaves or cheats on you. You can't notice signs if they're not there.
