You say it was the push that bothered you the most. Are you sure it really wasn't the fact that you were busted?
But I do agree that he shouldn't have pushed you. Look at the bright side: you actually got him to go shopping with you and he can rack up some credit card debt buying baubles to give you. That can excuse a lot of pushing!


Personal information like date of birth? I can't know his birthday? Really?

As for income, I really could not care less. I'm sure you do not believe me, but i assure you, I really did not want to know anything like that. I was just standing there, it did not occur to me this was a big deal. Like I said before, if I was filling it out, I wouldn't care if he looked so I assumed it was the same with him. i was wrong clearly. I will know better for next time.

And PS, he didn't buy anything for me, not that that matters.

Ugh, this thread is a real eye-opener as to some men on CD. Yuck. Wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

Male violence to women is never acceptable! only self defence is.

Yea, it might be something to pause over, tho.

Or, instead of all the fantastic, imaginative silliness, he could just be a tool. My bet is a tool who shouldn't be applying for another credit card.

I would hope he has more trust in me than that.





I really really really can't see myself with this guy long term as of right now. This has been something that I've been feeling for a while now. In the beginning when he didn't talk about himself, I didn't think it was that big of a deal, though it bothered me, some people are just private. So I shared my life and told him my stories, hoping he would tell me his...which he didn't. And now several months later, nothing has changed. But I do like him so I stick around. But it's exhausting asking questions and not getting that many answers, I feel like I'm being nosy and interrogating him though I'm asking him to share basic information about himself with me.
I'm glad that you're feeling this way. You know, all snideness and silliness aside, it's just crazy to "see" youself in a long-term relationship with someone whom you know virtually nothing about. Seriously, is it really a huge stretch that he's got something fairly sinister to hide?

There are so many possible scenarios, some really bad, some not so bad, but possibly totally embarrassing for him. Personally, I wouldn't take a chance on someone who either didn't trust me, or couldn't be trusted. Again, there is no secure future with someone like that.

My hubby told me all kinds of things, when we were dating. It's a good thing he did, too, because after we'd been together awhile, he had to go to Alaska for several months and believe me, plenty of people took the opportunity to share things he'd done in his late teens. It was awfully nice to be able to look at them and say, "Yeah....I know, he told me all about it!"
