Interesting...not to go OT or anything, but here in the D.C. area, a lot of women tend to get a lot meaner, not nicer, after they turn 30 or thereabouts. At least from what I have personally experienced while dating them -- not speaking for all 30+ ladies of course. The younger women, say 20-24 or around that age group, were much, much nicer and more open in a positive way emotionally than their 30-something counterparts...no contest at all

I like the part of the OP that refers to a "forced confession!" There is a reason they arent admissable in court you know!

Well, I think anybody would have to get meaner in DC as they age, given what an offensive collection of parasitic humanity it really is. I mean, how could you not labor there and come away with a cynical view of humanity?

You sound like a really nice person, from your posts By no means did I mean to imply that all 30+ women in D.C. weren't nice, just that the great majority of the ones I happened to date weren't lol.

Well thank you very much. While also getting off track, I have found much of the same in men of that age until here recently.

After reading all the replies, it seems like i have some things to respond to:

1. Definently not a troll

2. i compliment her non stop about how beautiful she is, how she is smarter than me, how she can do whatever she wants. i think i came across as a narccististic ******* but i forgot to add one little thing to the story...when she was young, she got sexually harassed alot(which is why her self esteem is low). she has developed paranoid schitzophrenia. her mom tells her shes too skinny sometimes and puts her down(her mom has her own issues).

3. of course im not going to tell her she can do better than me, would you tell your significant one that? if so, why?

4. i misused the word "let". of course i dont have the right to say what she can and cant do, but based off of her past, she asked me to always watch out for her. i cant do this if she runs off and does something thats not the best for her....

the main point of this all is i want to stop controlling her. ive realized she does like the attention. i know she can do better than me, but i want to work through our problems and learn to be a trusting boyfriend and hopefully a trusting husband. i love her very much, she is my best friend. we hang out all the time, we know everything about eachother, and we support eachothers dreams 100%.

i dont stay with her because i think shes just too beautiful to let go. i stay with her because i love her and would hate to see someone else steal that amazing girl i love so much.

again, im sorry im coming across as a controlling ******* who withholds compliments to play mindgames, but rest assure thats not the case.
