MU I generally agree with you, but here I have to call it what it is.
Either your friends have no testicles or their priorities and wants changed, which would likely have nothing to do with the relationship itself. Either way I think the relationships they are in are a symptom rather than a catalyst for those changes.
I'd pick the second one. Because from what I remember back in their single days, they were pretty assertive and could hold their own. So it's really odd that they capitulated so easily the minute their relationships became serious. Perhaps "symptom" is right. <shrug>
To get the thread back on track, another frustrating part of dating for me is the requirements to do the same thing sooner or later.
Listening to my friends moan about all the self-inflicted drama of their dating and coupled up lives and being expected to offer meaningful advice on a subject I choose to know nothing about. Largely because their experiences, poor judgements and impulse decisions have sworn me off even the possibility of getting involved with anyone.
Over the years I've seen this type of comment many times. What do other people's (lousy) choices have to do with you? Why do you let what other people do in their personal lives dictate what you will do, or not do, in your own?
What if you thought of it as not really rejection? In approaching for example it's not rejection, it's just a skill that you can learn. Just like anything else. If you play a sport and lose you don't stop trying to get better right? You learn to get better so you win next time. Approaching and even flirting are skills. So maybe your skills are getting "rejected", but not you personally.
All I know is, I dont feel bad about myself until I date. I want to break hearts for a change instead of having mine broken.
Hoping that's a joke, but that's not fun to do nor is it cool to think about breaking someone's heart. I've been on both ends of the spectrum and they both suck. There's nothing worse than making a woman cry because you had to say no to a relationship. It's pretty damn awful. At least to people with a conscience anyway.
