What I appreciate is for each party communicates what is bothering them, e.g. being the one who always drive to the other's place. I sometimes get surprised by my partner when she would cite a reason why she is dumping me on something that I would/could have changed had she mentioned it at the time.

I know that I got resentful to my former girlfriends because they did not want to drive over to my place but I also know that it's a cultural thing, i.e. those who live in Portland think that the Beaverton suburbs is another country. I also like it better to go into town rather hang out in the suburbs. However it is nice that some of my friends are willing to come out to my side of town.

Bottom line: It's better to let the other know what is bothering you rather than labelling them lazy or get resentful.

HJNITY, you have been giving some pretty good, straight-forward advice on these boards, but your need to shock is showing and it is unpleasant. Both my brother and my brother-in-law are commercial and military pilots (reserves) and they are extremely down-to-earth, kind and loyal people.

They've both taken many, many risks in their military careers to provide us with the freedom that we enjoy in this country. I admire their guts and their belief in what they do. And they do it because they love it, not because it fills some insecurity within them or helps them pick up chicks.

Please don't lump everyone into one big, unkind catagory until you have met them all. Then, and only then, should you judge.

Hi Rebecca,
I would NOT go to him, under the circumstances. He has cancelled once and then the car broke down for the weekend? A 'good guy' would have people around who would let him borrow a car....Good luck if you try it, but I would be turned off.
