What's the price of admission for your relationship?

I wasn’t paying enough apparently (attention, interest, sailing ability, selflessness, etc.)

@janbb, the price of admission is meant to be the shit you put up with to stay in the relationship. Maybe you were getting overcharged!!

@nikipedia Yeah – I kind of got that but I guess my head is just turning it around. I guess the price I paid was being with someone who couldn’t really understand or love me for who I am.

Honestly, the price is very, very cheap. Very minor irritants and usually more about me being in a bit of a grouchy mood and being more irritable than him being irritating. I think I got a good deal. Not sure he got such a good deal. I think I am more annoying. He doesn’t seem to agree though thankfully!

Holy shit, he’s right. But I’m still confused, is this what I’ll accept, or what my faults are?

Just wanted to say, great excerpt, I am going to be thinking about this for a while.

@Blackberry, the price of admission is something you pay to be let in. What you are willing to put up with.

A glancing blow to the head with a blunt instrument if i’m caught ogling other gal’s funbags (titties)
Such a small price to pay I feel.

No two people are perfect. Meeting in the middle with give and take is the key. Both have to abide by the terms.

My admission came from the Value Meal at McDonalds.

It was cheap in 1965, but the price keeps going up each day.

Oh, I don’t really know, I only know what I want and don’t want. I did date a woman for 2 years that was a bit boisterous and prissy, she also smacked her food and it annoyed the hell out of me.

I won’t settle for various forms of admission.
It is also a very different form of currency.

@blueiiznh, like you won’t admit a penis up the butt? What are you getting at?

When you start looking at the price it is already too dear.

@ucme Next time she scolds you, grin and say, “Gotcha.” Repeat until she realizes you’re doing it to tease her. You’ll soon have the freedom to look as much as you please.

it was so high that finally I’m outta there. I can’t even share what it was, but it was bad. I mean, once in a while ok…. butt no pun intended- @nikipedia haha

I would have said that I have to deal with mess, but she’s getting better.

It keeps changing. For a long time it was that she worked so hard, she could never leave anything undone. That, combined with a slowness in approach to her work that made it all take three times as long as it would take me to do it.

Another thing was that food was not her thing. Her taste, as they say, is all in her mouth. This was fine as long as I was cooking. Now that she decided she should cook (since she’s home all the time), means my quality of life has taken a dive.

Also different libidos. That may have been the biggest component in the price of admission.

I could talk about what made it worth the price of admission, but that’s not the question at hand.

@nikipedia how did my butt become fair game in this question

Any relationship I went into now would pretty much have to be free admission. To me this is nit-picking and I personally do not see where any good would come from it. The way I see it, “prodding” someone about a personal habit in the attempt to “fix” them (i.e. make them change for you), is the same as not accepting them for who they are.

My price for admission was extremely high. I was prodded at for things that involved completely changing who I was. I don’t think anyone should have to put up with being nit-picked at changing who they are or things they do just to accommodate someone else. Who am I to tell someone else what they should do, how they should behave or who they should be? If something bothers or bugs the shit out of me that much, then they are just not the person for me.

@blueiiznh Maybe it’s the orange pants, I derno. I personally would need an up close and extremely personal examination to make a more accurate conclusion. Heavy frisky would probably be involved, though. <smiles n winks> Hope you find out soon! : )

Due to the nature of his work I spend most of my time worrying for his safety, this gets very stressful for me even if he is blasé about it.

He sometimes makes loose “promises” that, as much as he may want to, are not possible for him to keep. This hurts my feelings at times even though I know he doesn’t mean to. It’s carelessness.

@blueiiznh Your butt became fair game when you didn’t answer the question properly.

The price of admission I’ve been paying is that my partner is a bit of a slob (and in different ways than me, so our messes are additive) and not always sensitive to the fact that my workday doesn’t always end when I get home (meaning I get interrupted a lot while doing stuff I have to finish if we don’t want to get evicted because I lost my job). It can get annoying when it causes problems, but it’s usually not so bad day to day.

@Patton butt I did answer. So sorry you did not like my answer. I still won’t settle
