Okay, so after a nice talk with my girlfriend, this is a topic that I would like to discuss with other people. Mostly an open discussion, but nothing too personal.

So the question here is, what do you remember doing in a relationship that was incredibly selfish of you? What do you suppose you could have done to make it better?

I haven't had a, uh, romantic relationship, so I don't know. We all are a little biased in our thinking, so it's hard to say...

Relationships have to offer something. People prefer relationships which they receive more than they give out. Usually. Well, that's one theory. So, in a sense, if the "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" doesn't work, I tend to terminate it. IMHO, relationships are a two-way street, and if someone isn't holding up their end, then I feel entitled to terminate at my will. That being said, I try to be as fair as possible when assessing it all.

All I really have to go on is my relationship with Sadie, and I was never selfish, possibly only because I didn't even have the chance to. There never really was much of anything there. She was definately the selfish one. I suppose towards the end of our correspondance earlier this year I started being somewhat unreasonable, saying random things here and there and that she should find a way to come see me instead of me having to drive half an hour to see her again. I knew she would make constant excuses, so I didn't feel bad not paying attention to what she was saying half the time and whatnot. Sure enough, I havne't talked to her since we talked that last time on the phone, heh.

Heh, I remember all the stories you had about Sadie... yes, those were fun to listen to. :lol:

I guess I don't blame you as far as being randomly rude to her, considering that she was constantly being unreasonable herself at first, so it's more or less her turn to take it. Although, there could have been other alternatives, too.

Oh, certainly. Maybe I somehow could have salvaged it if I played into her hand further, but I was fairly cynical by then. I kinda hoped she would want to meet up once more, so that I could either not show up or just be an ass while there, something to disappoint her in return, but it didn't happen, perhaps for the better. I'm too spiteful sometimes.

I suppose it's easier to just say, "You're a bitch, get a life, stop ruining mine."

Being spiteful isn't always bad.
