Just kind of curious. Girlfriend was in my bed half naked and needed her wallet from her car. I'm fully dressed and she asked me to go out and get her wallet. Its been raining for about 4 days now and it still is. I thought about it for a minute and decided I would do it. Does this mean I'm whipped? FWIW the pie is in good supply, she bought me a nice pocket knife a while ago, she doesn't bitch that I chew, sammich making skills are not the greatest but I'll give her some time. Pics may be in BOTD.

You did something nice for your girl. That doesn't make you whipped, it makes you a good guy.

I wouldn't do it in that situation.
But it doesn't make you whipped. |
|
Usually if she shows her tits, I am a nice guy. (Probably whipped.)
But I do more for my boss and I don't want to see his bitch tits. |

She asked you to, and you did = fine.
She TOLD you to, and you did = whipped |

Protip: She minds that you chew. Ok, I will concede that. I am sure that she does not like it, however she does not bitch and nag me about it. |

I said "Well, considering the pie has been in good supply and you asked I will do it." I again told her that if she ever tells me to do something as a demand then she will not get what she wants. |

Its actually been a pretty good relationship a few rough spots, but we got worked through it. |

If you treat her as you would like to be treated then you're completely whipped.

That doesn't make you whipped, it makes you a good guy. +1 When you start paying for everything, she's cheating on you, gained 80 pounds since you started dating, won't get up to make her own fat ass a snack, screams at you and demands immediate attention, calls you like 80 times a day wanting to know where you're at, who you're with, etc. including when you're at work. My friend is fucked. |
|
na, that called being a gentleman. its ok to do so. so is opening doors, letting ladies go first, and even standing when they leave/return to the table. manners will get you far grasshopper.
|
|
The point of no return is when you wake up one day and find that you're washing her back but she's not washing yours. And I call it "the point of no return" because in my experience, when a woman gets used to pushing you around, she'll never be willing to meet you halfway anymore on anything. Once that precedent is set the relationship is toast and ejection is the only sensible course of action.
So yea, be nice but also realize that "nice" has to flow in both directions.

Not whipped. When she doesn't allow you to have friends and you go for it well....

"Treat others how you would want to be treated" Well thats a bunch of bull because there are tons of people that like weird shit that I would never do. So I certainly don't want someone treating me in the manner in which they like to be treated... I prefer "Don't deprive anyone of their liberties." |

One of the biggest causes of tension with my wife and I is shit like this.
I get pretty resentful when I'm asked/told to do things. IMHO, being NICE is VOLUNTEERING to do something.

I have not yet received permission to answer this thread......
OP....you did good IMO. RG |

My friend is fucked. That does not work for me. That is the first thing I told her after I took a year off from relationships outside of fwb, before I got with her. If you nag me or call me every second, or bitch about what I do. I will kick you to the curb so quickly. |

I don't mind doing nice things if I am asked. She has never told me to do anything. If she should ever I warned her that it will be bad.

If she asks me it works out better. |

You should have told her of the dangers of leaving her wallet in the car, then made her get dressed and go get herself.
She may not have come back , but you would have imparted a good life lesson, and thats whats important.......................fornicator. |

The phrasing that you referenced is the difference between a demand and a request. In your second statement is a demand and the first is a request. For instance my girlfriend is moving from her house back home. I'm currently in the middle of a project and I have fire training the day that she wants me to bring my pickup over. She asked me to do it and I said sure. I have no problem helping people, however should she have decided that she was going to command me as in "Hey bring over your pickup on xxx date, to help me move." You can bet that I would have told her no. Its all in how you word your sentences in order to get me to do something. Someone who needs help and requests it will get it. Someone who demands help because they are too lazy or just demanding, will not get it. Someone who I see struggling and is too proud to ask for help, but is trying I will jump in and help out. |

I couldn't agree more. If I am getting asked to help every day, for things that someone can be reasonably expected to do I will get a bit mad. I do see something like that as something that results in them trying to get me to take over a chore. I would make a trade but not add another duty... An example, I have to change the oil. I may show someone how to do it. If they have problems or questions I'll shadow them until they learn. Another item, say the trash is to heavy for someone so I get frequently asked to do it. I pick that chore and would trade vaccuming, dusting, dishes etc. something lighter/combo of lighter activities. My thing is match your skills and abilities to what you have to do. |
