What most don't know... he's gone for four week, then home for four weeks. Neither of us have to leave the house much in that time if we don't want too...

3 times is about every other day, seems about right.

That's just the way some of us are.

There's not a person on this planet I would want to spend every day with, ever..

I'm glad that we can agree on something! I voted twice a week, that's plenty for me! In fact, I took my gf's key to my apt back because she was here way too much and I got tired of it.

Aw no offense bro, but didn't you feel that way with your first wife? Is it something involuntary or can you turn those emotions on and off to suit the situation? I don't know but the only way that I can manage a relationship of any length is if there is a lot of separation time.

I love my SO, but there are times when I just need time away, not just from her but from everyone.
Also, in my current situation, I go 6 months at a time without seeing her in person. Just get used to not being able to be with them 24/7.
Does it bother me to be away for a week, month, year at a time? yes.
Can I do it... yes
I think each person will be different in this way. Even if you truly deeply love someone and want no one else in the world, there will still be that day when you want nothing to do with them. One cannot know what he truly wants until he does not have it.

Yup, i did feel that way about my first wife. And i didnt just turn it off when it was done. The feeling died from years of neglect and deceit. When its gone its gone and their aint no life support. Of course its alot more complicated than that and every person is different thus every relationship has different needs, so to each his own...

I have absolutely no issues with wearing my heart on my sleeve. I have seen tough sum bitches cry over their feelings. some i wouldnt dream of facing as an enemy...

Well at least one other guy gets it. Good for you man!

A trip to the land of pink? Its called pussy!

You think you need to be sensitive to get a piece of ass? I pity you.

The girls that shit works with are mostly prudes anyway.

Perhaps he's trying to say that if you treat them like PEOPLE versus a booty call or fuck buddy you may have better luck getting it more often and of better quality.

There's a difference between screwing and making love.

You dont have to be a pansy to show emotion, just sure of who you are and not worried abotu what the hell other "men" think of you.

I'll tell you what tho, my estimation of Smiley has risen while you other guys remind me of those "macho men" from Jersey shore. I'd much rather have a guy with the confidence to tell me how he feels about things (everything, not just sappy shit) than one who'd rather hide behind how manly he is, his big muscles and how his "woman" knows whats good for her when he tells her so.
