Having only been in one serious relationship there are still many things I don't know about relationships. For a start I don't know how you would get into one, the one I'm in now is quite by (happy) accident. We met while totaly wasted during a case of drunken identity confusion and woke up togather the next morning when there was a knock at the door. I was unsure if I should leave, but decided against it thinking that it may be rude. All of us spent the next 16 hours sitting on the floor talking and eventually I headed home, at the door I asked "Can I see you again?" and managed to secure a phone number. I called on the second day on the assumption that calling the next day would be too eager and calling on the third day would signal disinterest. We hung out, but when I called next no reply, no reply for two weeks. Just as I had given up the ghost I got a call, "sorry, my phone broke." So it was all good and we spent more time together. No one ever asked anyone out, nothing was ever said and it was all assumed with everyone being eerily quiet on the subject.

Now three years later I wonder if an end could take me just as unaware. I know I am skilled at self deception, after we had been together for six months I went away for a week to visit an old school friend interstate and came home to find some young, presentable man ambling down my front stairs. I managed to ignore both this and the two used condoms not quite hidden under the bed with amazing ease thanks to my skillfull self-deception. Eventually it came out some two months later, and to this day I hate all people called 'Phil,' especially when they work at the Queensland Ballet.

So what are the signs that a relationship is breaking up? I could be paranoid, or I could be self-decieving so you have to be clear and consice. What should I look for? What are the warning signs? And how do I go about killing a ballerina called Phil?
I'll tackle the most important issue first. Get a shotgun, and load it with rocksalt. Well he's jumping about like a fool, take your shot. He'll survive. Take him into your basement, adn let your imagination do the rest.
But it's never a good sign when one of you cheats. It's clearly still an issue for you, or else i don't imagine you would have brought it up. Are you still saying "i love you" everyday? How often are you having sex, as compared to earlier in the relationship? How often do you argue? Over what?

Ohh, Quinten Tarintino's "Kill Phil" Vol 1&2


One way is when you mysteriously contract an STD from your partner.

Another is when you can't even look at her without being filled with anger.

The last way would be when you open your mail and inside are photo's of your gf performing fellatio on 10 of your pals.

Yes, we still say "I love you," but not daily, we never did.
Sex: Two - three times a week, as opposed to two or three times a day
We've never actually argued.

No STDs (two condoms, remember?) plus I had a STd test a few weeks ago while getting my other blood test done (for medication levels). It happened two years ago, I don't think it's happening again now.

your relationship seems kinda ill defined, does he know you expect him to be monogomous(you're both guys right?)

Err, there is the problem that it's still clearly visible where other people quoted it.

Maybe you should ask the Moderators to do their delete thing to it?
