Guys, I'm truly amazed at the insight you have displayed. We're not broken up yet, but the warnings are there.
Wyldfire really hit the nail on the head with his practical advice ! This quote here could have come from her: She had complained in the past that I just like American food.
Wyldfire is a clueless troll who will turn you into a frustrated chump.
What you are talking about here is classic approval-seeking behavior. Your girlfriend criticized you for looking at a menu before going into a restaurant. So if you stop doing that, it will be obvious and pathetic!
The best baseline strategy is to be consistent. Remember that everything that you are, that's what she
went for. Her current behavior is that she is in fact with you.
You look at the menu before entering a restaurant because you have good reasons for doing that, and no whiny chick is going to change your rationale.
I would have told her right away, ``Hey fvck off, if I want to look at a menu before entering some lame freaking restaurant, that is my privilege! I care about what I eat. And just so that you know know, while I'm checking out the menu, it gives me a chance to look over the menu, through the window at the waitresses, haha. Just pulling your leg, haha.''
If you want to be less predictable, then, well, you have to choose an unpredictable way to do that, right? Fixing an explicitly criticized behavior is not unpredictability! You only score some points for fixing something about yourself if you figure it out without being told!
Listen to me, I was in a nine year relationship in which I refused almost every attempt to be changed by her. The woman just about hated me, but hung on anyway. In the end I ditched her. If you resist changing something that the woman
says bothers her, you would be surprised for how many years she can keep nagging about it, without leaving you. Hahaha.
Wyldfire is not a man, but an old hag. She wants everyone here to be dumped by their young, cute girlfriends and fall into the hands of lame old hags with dried up pvssies.
