She sounds like a lucky girl. Seriously, darts over *******?

Have you considered her urging you to get your **** together might be because she is with child? You know there is a cost for getting to climb aboard and hump her ...

You shouldn't change your life (work at a job you hate or stay with a woman you don't love) just because of a child. You can raise children without getting stuck in misery.

Slacker was the wrong term. Slacker was too negative a word. No offence meant. I consider myself a "slacker" yet I put in 55-60 hour weeks. My use of it isn't about willingness to work or working hard. What I meant was laid back, less driven to climb the corporate ladder, unconcerned about status and other peoples views of my position or success, easier going, able to go or get along.

You do whatever it takes. Do you have kids?

Miatamaniac92

Whatever it takes to what?

You can raise kids in separate households or whilst not working for a major corporation/"being successful". No one in the relationship benefits if you (either Adult) are living in misery. It takes two for a relationship to work, not one chained to another.

Don't take my point to mean you don't have to make sacrifices in life, it just depends on your priorities. If sending your kids to a private school is your top priority and you have to work a shitty job to do that then that's your priority. If not working some corporate job is your priority then don't send your kids to private school.

Besides, it seems like the OP is doing fine financially (though you can raise kids in poverty).

To clear things up I didn't actually say, "...lets do this." I care a bit more than that. Not sure why I came in here and said that... foolish.

Cueball - in your view of "slacker" thats exactly what I am. I enjoy it. Needless to say, some things have come my why that I couldn't pass up and I'm lucky the cards have been dealt the way they have. I know that and appreciate it and don't complain.

She isn't w/ child. (wtf is this 1835?) I think it comes down to her wanting me to "get my **** together" but not realizing it's more together than most of all her friends who have 4 year degrees and are in $70k in debt for an education that isn't earning them my $42k, but somewhere in the $35k range, while still living at home after "leaving the dorms where they were independent." I understand at some point that education will pay off and they will financially surpass me. Before that happens I'll pull my head out of my *** and WANT MORE for myself, and I'll pursue it. I think she may also be a little jealous that things have come pretty easy for me and I haven't had to bust *** in school to get where I am. All she knows is school.

Everyone talking **** about darts with friends > *****, are all men who are literally OWNED by the vag. I won't be. Sure I made that decision, and she must've known it was wrong to give me the ultimatum of ***** + staying in, or no ***** + going out... because I got morning nookie. That or she was horny and didn't care enough to be mad about it. Either way the situation worked out.

For the record and in 84's defense, I've had ***** in the past that made me wish afterward that I'd done something else instead.

No, some girls are such lousy lays that it's not worth the time/effort/bullshit to get some from them.
