Relationship Is Texting Really Considered A "relationship"?

[Army_Brat_88]

No, we should laugh at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I sure as hell did as I typed it out because it *IS* true. We ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL get that line, got that line, and I'll be damned if I know why. It's something that surely doesn't happen with civilian guys - at least none in my past.

I have no idea if they really mean it or not. In all seriousness though, I know they have the overwhelming feeling that they must make a firm decision. There only black or white - there's no time for colors. Everything is life or death, no inbetweens. The problem is that we're women who need 65485486486486486486486798947 reasons and explainations to EVERYTHING in life. One answer won't do. We guess, figure alterier motives, doubt, look for hidden meanings, and can ruin things at the drop of a hat. :confused:

Eff, I wish *I* could have that kind of mentality. Jeez.

I just feel bad for his girlfriends if I am 'the only person he trusts.' I mean, I love our bond and all, but he needs to be able to trust the women he is with. It is not right for me to be the only person he trusts, the only person he opens up to. But that's what he does; puts all his eggs in one basket, and then defends that basket to the death. From a distance.

But maybe there's some kind of disconnect between brain and heart? I have no idea.

The way my boyfriend explains it is that the idea of being the 'responsible' partner eventually starts freaking them out... Yes yes... it is totally a fear of committment but it effects them as a stress upon stress upon stress. Till they widdle some things out and reign in their issues, it's easier to do the 'out of sight, out of mind' thing.
