The one common fault that women tend to have is thinking that they can change men. And that false hope tends to lead to hard feelings sooner or later. Best to just accept people as they are, IMO.
I hear you man. So many women I have been with think they can "change" you. If they weren't happy with you in the first place they should never have gotten involved in the relationship. Wimmin!Quote:

Still living the single life with live-in partners and don't get the marriage, having children thing, but have fun in different ways. I also have a large group of friends who all seem to have had children in the last 18 months. I think we have 7 children among the lot of us at the various get-together's we have and they are all new-ish babies. My wife is desperate to join them lol. Seems to be something about that 30 mark where some of us have the urge that we need to appear more grown up maybe? Up until about 3 years ago the thought of having children terrified me, but the desire to produce a little person that has characteristics of myself and my wife is now very much wanted. I think in any relationship if one person wants children but the other doesn't, its never going to be something that can be forgotten.
Sorry a bit deep there for the Knight, you're nowhere near that yet pal :p :)
And the flip side of that would be that guys expect their girl to stay the same, and are just as disappointed.Quote:
