Whipped men in relationships.

In response to my "Porn sucks" thread, I'd like to follow up with another thread that will most likely hit deep in the hearts of many.

Here is my view of my relationship: (Caution: I am not forcing any views, I am simply proposing the idea of a man/woman role in relationships.)
My babe and I truly love each other and there are certain things, based on the typical male view of being whipped, that would cause me to appear to be 'whipped'.

I am very courteous and mannery with her... I always open her car door when we go anywhere (grocery store) and then open the door into the place we're going to. She usually orders her own meal, but when we go somewhere and she eats the "regular" I'll order for her and she doesn't mind that.

Now, to the meat: Here is a scenario. My fiancee and I are watching a movie. Since we both work and go to school, time together is sparse and we like to spend it together. I had a friend show up during the movie, he lives about 20 mins away and I kindly asked him to go home because I was spending time with my girlfriend... and he did, no biggy.

I don't ever get on the computer when she is around and she would never do something like that with me around. I feel that I can get on the computer when she leaves late... she is the priority in my life (along with work, school, etc) so why should I choose getting on a computer over her when she is around?

And besides that, as I mentioned in the "Porn sucks." thread, we don't feel watching other people have sex is enjoyable or makes our relationship better in anyway. We have our time apart and with friends, but she is my partner for life, my best friend, lover, etc. and she will always be number one.

I'm gonna be honest here... but i think you're a wee bit too dependent on each other. Just my 0.02.

Oh and whipped men wear Doug Christie jerseys.

I didn't know what whipped meant until I heard of Doug Christie.

Do you sound whipped? Maybe a little string occasionally. You have some good excuses at least. I mean... if time is sparse.

Mr. Christie on the other hand... has that cat of 9 tails to deal with.

Ummm...have you ever heard of a concept called "space"? Trust me, my wife and I love spending time together, but we need our own space now and then. Being joined at the hip with your fiance may be fun for a while, but trust me, you're going to have some friction eventually.

from what he wrote he's not dependant on her, it's pretty normal. I don't watch porn with my gf, I don't watch porn regularly, but I don't think porn sucks either. I just rather not watch it.


lol @ DC comment.

do your posts have points, or are you just sort of rambing about your life in the hopes that we'll emulate you...

Enc, this is the first time you have posted something decent in one of my threads. Thanks. We do have our space, if I get off work @ 8 or something and I'm just beat, she'll ask me if I just want to go home and relax, or if I want her to come over and help me relax.

I post to get a reaction, try to pull some sort of Insight from other bulletin board members. Many others have successfully done that very thing in this thread, but unfortunately you have strayed from the pack. Go walk alone.

Thats cool but selling out your friend was pretty mean....... you shoulda invited him to watch the movie with you guys, if your gf really loved you she wouldn't mind because you got the rest of your life to be alone, and its just a movie anyways, unless you guys were having sex. Anyways i respect your opinion.

You aren't really helping yourself by going more in depth on your relationship. It is obvious to me at least, that you are in a very co-depedent relationship, and that you are in fact pussy whipped. Now, I am not saying anything is per-se wrong with that, except that it leaves you with little control over your own life.

Do what you want to do, but I think a lot of people here are just being honest when they tell you your ideas will pass. You are 20 and I am 20. We don't know everything and experience is a huge part of life. Until you actually see life again outside of the relationship, you won't understand how it looks to us from the outside. One last thing--it is extremely hypocritical to say that masturbation or watching porn is immoral or against the norm of society, when you consider that many people consider pre-marital sex to be the same. I don't consider either to be atypical, but that is just my opinion.

I think you would have gotten less flaming had you not been so hypocritical.

Decent is the wrong word. You're always decent... this was just the first time you had something to say that was completely contradictory to my original opinion/post.

I'd be pissed as fvck if someone did that to me. I hope you never need his help with anything.

That's really messed up about what you did to your friend. I would be pissed off also. Why could't you have invited him to join you at the movie? That's really strange...

Well, I agree to an extent, and disagree to an equal extent. My Porn Sucks thread should have stayed within the confines of masturbation, not pre-marital sex. I obviously agree with one topic and not the other. Ostensibly, I appeared to be a hypocrite, yet the intent of my post was to dissect pornography within a relationship.

Because I don't get to spend a lot of quality time with my girlfriend, much less alone time. We don't live on our own, so often times our parents or other family members are with us when we are at one anothers home. The time we DO get to spend alone, I like to keep it that way. My friend came over unannounced and just wanted to come in and hang out. If it were an emergency or if I wasn't spending alone time, I would have invited him inside immediately.

Do you still have any friends? You're probably going to wake up someday and be all pissed at your GF for spending too much time together. If my gf is over, I'll go on my computer whenever i want. She should understand that i want to go on my computer also. When you have a really good gf... you shouldn't have to be spending constant time doing stuff together. As long as you're together or hanging out... that's all that matters. just my .50 cents

Do you live with her? If not, let me know how things work out after you've lived together for a few years.
