I'm driving a 4X4 today. I've had it all week and it's ace, I feel like king of the world.

The missus let me borrow hers cus I've been taking stuff to the tip.
I'm just taking a break today so far, letting the girls sort out what we're keeping and what's for chucking out or shredding.
They'll call me when something heavy needs carrying.

Sounds like she's got you well trained. Women are perfectly capable of taking stuff to the tip you know, and they can lift heavy stuff. She's obviously got you under the thumb, doing all her womens work for her.

Well no. the missus is in work doing her job in t'city. The girls are my employees and, as such, do my bidding.
They're not insured to drive the 4x4 so it has to be me that does that and as for carrying heavy stuff, I wouldn't want them to damage their nails or anything.

I also like doing the whole; 'Step aside, young lady. I'll carry that'

Yeah, that's what I said. You're under the thumb of the women in your life.

Also, I think I'm getting the picture now. Thanks for the blank filling,

You and object of desire are both in relationships that kinda sucked, yours because your wife cheated, hers for unknown reasons, you used each other as shoulders to cry on. Nothing sexual happened but there was an understanding on both your parts that it would be an ideal idea to get together if only these pesky extraneous factors weren't such an issue.

But when push come to shove, she didn't want you like that. Even after you told your wife that it was over. She just wanted to be friends.
So now you're stuck in a irrevocably broken marriage til the youngest moves out.

I never really followed (*read*) what was going on with RoA's relationship stuffs. However, you made a handy guide, thanks. I will use it as reference for interpreting other posts.

I felt I owed it to the bored. And to him. I think it's the first time he's seen it written down so succinctly.
It was a seminal moment. Part of the healing process. Closure.

It's just the kind of guy I am.

Yeah, that's what I said. You're under the thumb of the women in your life.

I'm not sure if one can actually be under the thumb of one's employees but if you mean my missus, then yeah.

Whatever she wants done, I'll do it. No question.

Exactly, she has you well trained.

It explains why you're driving around in a girls car, whilst she is driving around in a proper car.

I've had 2 seaters ever since I started up after uni, at least the last 8 years I think. I've only known her for five.

Ahh, you're not very good at this. Look, here's what happens with automobiles:

Her vehicle:
Her; can I have one of those?
Me; yup

My vehicle:
Me; I'm gonna get one of those.
Her; poove.

OMFG!!!1

She really has trained you well... you even believe she didn't play her part in deciding what car you would have.

That's one of their greatest skills you know... seriously go and read around boards where they talk amongst themselves... they love the fact that they can control how you think... there are threads where they boast to each other about how they can influence their mans thinking. Complete with detailed explanation about how they got him to pick the right choice... as defined by them.

[manker]

She did that even before she met me, like

[NotLettingItGo]

Oh! She does it to every aspect of your thinking. It's what they do. They select 'their' man, and then control him.

I'll tell you what, if you want to see how nice women are, go somewhere which is filled with women, and make it clear you won't allow women into your life... see how fucking hostile they become once they're presented with a man who is beyond any chance of one of them asserting control over you. You'll be shocked.

And there was me thinking that when I sent off the order form to brides.ru, I had selected her.

And thanks for the offer but deliberately placing myself into a situation where a bunch of mates are talking while adopting a me-against-the-world stance in their environment doesn't strike me as much fun.

I'd rather post pish and have a larf, like.
