Title: Most ridiculous request
Post by: Miss Demeanour on March 07, 2009, 08:37:05 PM
Today I have heard from an old friend - well went to school with him etc .  He got divorced a couple of years ago but has been in a relationship with someone now for over a year.

He has emailed me today with a document asking me for my opinion. Apparently his girlfriend has said that she is unsure about their future and has asked him to write an essay on what his values are , what he can offer her in the future etc ( she is in the literary profession of some sort ) ,

WTF  !!!!!!

People get stranger by the bl00dy minute  noooo:

This is taking the P1$$ surely  eeek:

Does she live in the real world?  Inspired by the fact that I'm currently listening to Madama Butterfly live from the Met I'd get him to send the text of the libretto by return  lol:
It may give her pause for thought...

Time he headed for the door methinks. The woman is clearly a nutter in the making if not already there.

Suggest he asks her to do the same.  He needs to ask her to write to him with all her secrets, fantasies and thoughts on men, life, love and where she wants their relationship to be in 5 and 10 years from now.

Father always said "Put nothing in writing ~ in fact don't even give them your real name if you can help it" Fortunately in my RAF Training days there were three of us with the same Christian Name so we were all given nicknames ~ Mine stuck so well that it followed me everywhere I was posted and that is what my first wife knew me as until we actually filled out the forms at the Registry Office. Our families did not attned the wedding (mainly because we failed to ask them or tell them when and where) whistle:

My first wife's family did not know my real name until we had been married for several months.   8)

ok - for the sake of Wenchy  whistle: and not to be accused of doing a Nick - God Forbid  eeek:

Well his first section was about his childhood to put in context some of his emotional immaturity which is one of her accusations.

He then went on to explain why he marriage failed in extreme honesty and why he felt this woman was different to his ex wife. Also apparently another area he had been asked to explain.

He had to justify his decision on why he didn't want any more kids - he already has a son - as she still wants a child even though she is in her mid forties -

He had to clarify what 'love ' meant to him - I was reaching for the bucket at this point ( obviously green with envy  cry: )

And then what he planned to do with the rest of his life - (a) if he was with her (b) if he wasn't - again criteria she had specified.

He then had to do a sumamry of his objectives

Honestly what sort of guy is he - man or mouse!!!

Bottom line for me is that if it got to the stage where instead of talking (shouting)  to/at  BM I asked him to write stuff down for me (ie; indicating that I was so bored I seriously couldn't be bothered enough to listen to him) then I'd be out of that door (well one of them anyway) PRONTO !!!!
Title: Re: Most ridiculous request
Post by: Bar Wench on March 09, 2009, 02:05:33 PM
Is he a tad ummm asperger like? The only reason I can think of requesting it be written down is that he was incapable of talking about it!

Still though terribly extreme and I really can't think of a single bloke I know that would agree to do so! Also if she is unsure to that degree just cut him loose and to save himself some dignity he should do it first.

He presented his appraisal to her on Sunday.

She is now reviewing it and has arranged to meet with him in a month.

I have said what I think - which is pretty much what we all unanimously think . Apparently I am being too harsh about her and don't understand his pain  Banghead
