A Guy Thing?
I will never forget the crazy night I had with a guy I was seeing. We were preparing to leave his house and head to a concert together. As we were backing out the driveway an ex-fling was on the front sidewalk looking a little upset (read: crazy). She wanted to know why he hadn’t called, or returned her calls/messages/emails.
In that kind of situation, a man really has two options: be upfront and give full disclosure on who the woman was, or drive off and pretend she wasn’t really standing there yelling. Which one do you think he chose? Well, he thought he would just avoid her until the evening was over.
Obviously this didn’t work, and of course minutes later she began calling him. Why do most guys avoid confrontation of breaking up? Is it just a guy thing, though? Is it hard for women to be the one that calls the time of death on the relationship?
I know a couple of guys that will act like a complete blockhead so that the woman will have no choice but to end things. They would rather do this then explain that she is not the right one for him. Ladies, have you ever experienced this before? Have you ever dated a man who avoided confrontation? Did you call him on it or cut your losses? Have you ever been the one to avoid confrontation in a relationship?
Guys, do you think that some men are like kids and think that men do what women let them do? Is that another way to let a man be a man? Do you think men push the limits to see what they can get away with when it comes to relationships? How would a woman handle a man who is doing that in a dating relationship? Should she stand her ground and let him know he crossed the line?

Guys don’t leave. Period. They just make the situation miserable so the woman will leave.
I firmly believe that it’s so easy for guys to check out of a relationship because they do it mentally way before they do it physically.
I mean, how many times have you seen a woman put her foot down in a long term relationship and dude is like “Oh, aiight. See ya – wouldn’t wanna be ya”? I used to think men had an internal switch to turn off their feelings but thats not the case… It’s that dudes decide in their head that the relationship is over but just stick around waiting for the female to dump them. That way, when all is said and done and she comes crawling back he can pull the ole “You left me, I didn’t leave you” card.
He broke up with you 3 months ago but just forgot to mention it – you know, trying to avoid confrontation….

Ladies, have you ever experienced this before?
YES!!! Will shoot the enemy but run like hell when asked a simple question.
Have you ever dated a man who avoided confrontation?
YES!!!! See above.
Did you call him on it or cut your losses?
BOTH. Call him out and cut my losses. He’s back again. Its a sick, sad relationship. What can I say.
Have you ever been the one to avoid confrontation in a relationship?
Hmmm yes and no. I normally bring the issue up and then flip so he thinks he is the one that started the whole thing.

Happy Friday all –
Lawd…not this topic. Okay…so you are now going to be introduced to AmazonRed’s crazy side.
One of the biggest problems between me and my ex was my desire to talk about things…and his desire to not. I’ve said before that I can deal with “let’s talk about this later.” However, I can NOT deal when later turns into NEVER. That seriously pushes “that button.”
So yes, I have gone through extreme measures to demand that we finally come to some resolution: I’ve gone by the house unannounced (hell, he was my man, sheesh). It probably happened four times. And none of them ended well, but at least it got his attention.
The only way I can save face with this foolishness is the fact that I was actively involved in the relationship. Not a jilted ex. Once we’re done, I could give a damn, I’m not going to be calling you in the first place, so he won’t have to worry about not returning calls or messages.
Anyway…just keeping it real (stupid).

Is that another way to let a man be a man? Ah, no.
Do you think men push the limits to see what they can get away with when it comes to relationships?Yep
How would a woman handle a man who is doing that in a dating relationship? Don’t put up with it.
Should she stand her ground and let him know he crossed the line? Yep
Random scratching of the ballz is a “guy thing”. Not being man enough to face a woman and tell her it’s not working for him is sheer punkazzery.

@ Red – you’re not crazy. If that’s your man and you’re in a relationship… there is no such thing as “popping up unannounced”
I wouldn’t care if my man came by unannounced – it’s not like I have anything to hide. However, I wouldn’t advise it b/c there is no telling what you might see when I open the door. Head wrap… cold cream… granny panties… unmade bed… eye boogers…

Ladies I have to disagree
Some women don’t understand when a man breaks up with them. You can tell them flat out its not working for you and they don’t get it! So that puts us in awkward position. “I told her I don’t want to be with her and she heard me but she isn’t listening”
PLAN B
Get her to do the break up, by doing things she doesn’t like. You don’t want to hurt that person but something has to give…
As far as showing up at my Crib unannounced!!! No Sir!!! I don’t do uninvited guests. She would have to leave, Not now, BUT RIGHT NOW!

Ladies I have to agree with Mike J. Some women don’t understand when a man breaks up with them. Some women have hard time accepting this relationship is not working. Some women start with you must be seeing someone else comments.
Sometimes we make a mistake and go back and hit it now that is the biggest mistake anyone can make it gives some a reason to think you are still together!

Peachy and Amazon the “popping up unannounced” was something that I could only take in small doses. It teeters on taking advantage of me IMO. I didn’t require my guy to make an appointment, LOL, or schedule days in advance to come to see me but when he just dropped by I needed a call to say “hey I’m up the street and headed your way” or something of that nature. Don’t just show up all willy nilly as if I don’t have something more important or just as important that I am attending to. And sometimes reading the paper or just having time to myself was just as or more important.
He didn’t always call before coming but apologized once there for not calling when he didn’t. I appreciated the apology.

Sorry but I agree with Mike. Don’t come by my house unannounced.
I kid you not my daddy even calls before he shows up. I am not one of surprise visits and guest. “I just wondered if you were home.” Call first I will let you know if I am home. It is not about having something to hide it is about common courtesy. That mess is rude.
I have only done it once to a guy, and lets just say that was my lesson learned. No he didn’t have a girl there but he let me know in no uncertain terms that it was rude.

Good Morning All!!! (Friday!!! — finally)
Well in my short time of dating (lol). I’ve experienced this… And I have to disagree with the guys on this one also.. I don’t believe that the women don’t understand that you are breaking up with them, I think that “some” men just aren’t straight forward. If you sat a woman down and explained to her that things were not working out and you think that’s its time to end the relationship… I’m pretty sure we would understand what you are trying to convey to us, but if you start ignoring phone calls, not coming by when you say you are, or being just plain disrespectful… We think you’re being an azz…… I’m not saying all men, but some men don’t know how to breeak up b/c the also want to have their cake an eat it too…. They still want to be intimate, but yet not have a full blow relationship anymore… It can’t work that way.. you have to cut all ties..

@MJones ~ “Some women don’t understand when a man breaks up with them. You can tell them flat out its not working for you and they don’t get it! So that puts us in awkward position” The script can be flipped. Some guys also refuse to hear the words “we are done!” It’s hard to let go and some simply try to make their last plea to see if the relationship can indeed be salvaged. We all know men avoid confrontation at all cost. You will never find me doing driving bys, standing on a sidewalk, blowing up your phone, hiding in bushes, etc. trying to get you to talk to me.

For you guys that are saying some women don’t get it when you break it off with them, how are they not getting it if you say it’s over and then don’t see or call them again. How can someone still be dating or think they are dating someone that is not coming around or calling?
I think incidents like in the topic happens when you guys don’t let the woman know.

@ Mike – yea maybe, but I don’t see that very often (a guy actually explaining why he’s leaving). I can’t recall one situation, in my experiences, where that happened. And I would venture to say that “Plan B” is more like “Plan A”….
@ Raqi – I certainly believe that to be true as well. And, I can agree that one should call prior to showing up – common courtesy. But, if my man popped up, it wouldn’t bother me. And, at this age, I don’t think I would show up unannounced, but hell, do you know how much stuff I’ve done in relationships that I didn’t think I would do. SMH.

@Dream Now lets just put on our big girl panties and be real for a second. Follow the flow of this conversation and see if this makes sense. Keep in mind men are pretty simple(mind) and they like(love) sex. Women we like to have a understanding. We want the air clear. Men act on how they are feeling. We tell how we are feeling.
George: You know April this whole thing is just not working out. You call everyday wanting to talk, you cook, we go out, you spend the night(that part is cool) but err I am just not feeling this relationship anymore. Let’s call it quits.
April: Whatcha trying to say George? You don’t want to be with me anymore?
George: I don’t want to hurt you and stuff but I mean this is just too much. Now I don’t mind if we get together for sex from time to time(you got mad skills) but err..I want to explore other options and frankly you can be annoying and clingy at times.
April: But I don’t understand. We have fun..you met my mama..we went out of town last week.
George: Yeah I know but for real you got mad skills but err..I was done with this months ago. So can we just hit it once more for the road and I call you from time to time?
April: But I just don’t understand.—

Have you ever been the one to avoid confrontation in a relationship? Nope
Have you ever dated a man who avoided confrontation? not in my younger years, but recently I have
Did you call him on it or cut your losses? yeah
Most men are not straight forward letting the woman know that he’s no longer interested in pursuing her instead he dips and cut off all communication, or play the head game doing things that will make us leave. Childish.

Ared,baby,that is the most passionate about u i have had in a long time! You are an intense luver, i can see..
It probably happened four times

On topic:
Guys are not good at communiacation generally as compared to womenw hen it concerns 2 party dating relationships..thats my opinion.In addition,Guys avoid that “talk” coz they know women gas up when they hear the truth.Women dont “gulp” and keep it moving,like men do,taking it on the chin.They get emotional.
The moment I say,”baby,its over”,shes already swelling up and crying on my lap,”baby,i thought we were ment to be” or some stupid like,”so when did u think about all this?”..asking me to explain my resignation..why???
Guys dont want all that crap.The solution……
show her the cold reception,ask for booty eve now and then as if u still together but weening urself of the booty and contact slowly..aka,”killing u softly”. That is the modus oparandi that works best for guys.
We let u figure it out for urslef and its a win win coz in times of dryness,u can always pick up the phone and call her for a movie or drink,capping it off with some nostalgic booty romp.
Happy friday yall!

One common thing I have experienced in the past is those guys that just stop calling. One thing my sister did teach me was to only call a man twice after you haven’t heard from him in 3 days. If he does not return your call after the second attempt then move on. It took me a couples goofs to learn that but that I did learn. I even took it down to one call after two days and then I let it and him be.
After a few go rounds in the dating dance it doesn’t take long to know when someone has become ghost in your life.

Some guys are man enough to just leave. I’ve experienced that personally, so I can vouch for those guys.
Then there are some that seem to not want the relationship anymore but are perhaps willing to remain in a position to receive the physical benefits of said relationship.
Finally, you have those mentioned who will make the relationship so uncomfortable for a woman that she will find her way out of it.
By the way, women have been known to do this too. (Again, speaking from personal experience.)

I have to agree with Melo. It’s the reaction to “the talk” that men want to avoid. We don’t like to deal with the crying and subsequent drama that follows, so we’d much rather you do the dumping so you can leave feeling empowered and not broken down.

“Men act on how they are feeling. We tell how we are feeling.”
While that may be true in instances… please. If a man was working hard at a job and believe he deserved that raise..You’re telling me he wouldn’t convey his feelings there bs…. men get away with that crap b/c we by into that whole crap (as i did in the past also)…

ImAPeach404 said “Guys don’t leave. Period.” As one who has been the partner to end relationships (two divorces, among others), this blanket statement is untrue. There are plenty of men who cease to put up with antics/melodrama and leave.
Yes, I’ve had women end the relationship. If it’s been more than a few months into it, they’re usually upfront and say things are ending. Otherwise, they simply quit responding to your calls and/or emails, which is a pretty gutless way to end things.

I have a real problem with appearing weak to anyone, and therefore I’m great at hiding my emotions. I take the mantra “never let ‘em see you sweat” to heart. Although it might be killing me…I’m not gonna stay where I’m not wanted. I’m not built like that and I just don’t have it in me. So if you’re gonna start being a flake or ignoring phone calls, I’m done. No explanation needed. Like Raqi said, after the second phone call with no response I’m through.
Now….there are some chicks out there that are CRAZY! A guy can move on and be really clear about wanting to end things, and she can still feel entitled to him. People are fragile, so you gotta be careful before you end up in a Fatal Attraction situation. Not a good look…

Here is a suggestion for the next time this whole shake down goes on. Why not just tell the guy upfront and honest that you know what he is up to? You know if the guy stops calling for months and then all of a sudden picks up and calls to see how you doing? Say. “I’m fine, so are you calling today to explain why you stopped calling ____months ago or are you just trying to see if you can get some booty because your dyck is hard?” Say it in the most matter of fact and conversational tone as possible..no bitterness or anything and listen or look for his reaction.

On topic: Yeah, I’ve been guilty of this a couple of times in my younger days. Not proud of it, but it was the easier way out at the time and frankly, the girls that I did this to were never really that important to me to begin with. Bad, I know, but sadly true.
Now, I will say that men don’t have a monopoly on this tactic, however. Women can and will do the passive-aggressive check-out as well. I think just it boils down to whether you respect the other person enough to have the uncomfortable conversation.
Off topic: Uh… see, what had happened was…
My favorite part of this story — the mug shots. Check out the chic to the far left. If that face doesn’t say “Yup, I super-glued that SOB’s diznick to his belly — now what?” then I don’t know what does…

I don’t understand how people can put so much into dating or a relationship with someone who is doing nothing! one sided realtionships are the worst. how many times have i heard a woman say “yeah girl, so and so is my boyfriend now. i cooked for him, take him out, took him to meet mama, nem, etc.” then said dude is like “ummm yeah ShaQusihsia is cool, but we just kickin it. it ain’t all that”. c’mon!

“it’s so easy for guys to check out of a relationship because they do it mentally way before they do it physically”. 100% true for me. It sosmetimes takes me awhile to close it out.
I may be one of Raqi’s “punkazzery” or whatever that was. I do tend to just disappear off of the radar screen, but will tell the woman straight if she calls and certainly if she asks. I hope I am not a total dyck as it sounds so I need to clarify something here. I stop/drop a relationship before it becomes a relationship…in the first three or four dates. If I am still in after this period, I am committed inside. I do not string anything out just because the lady is satisfying some carnal need. If she isn’t touching me between the ears, then the lower extremities will not keep me in a relationship. Can I be a chicken shyte jerk, perhaps…but not months into a relationship.

@Peach–Experiences following the first part lead us to go the route of the second part in situations that arise later. You ladies are having a good laugh from my comment, but you know good and well how yall act when a dude says it’s over, and if you’re one that takes it on the chin and keeps it moving then you’re a rare breed.
But, the truth is, when it comes to breaking up women are way more emotional, and tend to drag things out in an attempt to “save or salvage” the relationship.
Just like No means No. It’s over means It’s over, hit the bricks, kick rocks, vamp, bounce, adios, holla…etc. BEAT IT!

There are women that will not take “no” for an answer. They (hereafter referring to the nebulous) just can’t/won’t accept it. But to be on a date and have that drama unravel is unfortunate. If dude knew that there was a possibility of this happening, he shoulda let you know up front WD (informed consent).
As for the general nuttiness of the “wont-let-go” kinda folks, I am not above restraining orders. I have no shame in walking into a precinct and asking for one.
Agreed also on the “men bug out too”, but them be some punks

yeah. I don’t understand how people can put so much into dating or a relationship with someone who is doing nothing! one sided realtionships are the worst. how many times have i heard a woman say “yeah girl, so and so is my boyfriend now. i cooked for him, take him out, took him to meet mama, nem, etc.” then said dude is like “ummm yeah ShaQusihsia is cool, but we just kickin it. it ain’t all that”. c’mon!
Man thats funny.. but foul…

If you were with a woman for a considrable amount of time, then it’s expected for the water works to happen or her to feel some kind of way, or try to salvage the relationship… but if you were only talking for about a month or 2 and she starts getting straight crazy when you want clock out, then that’s another story… get with Dan about getting the restraining order…

You are an intense luver, i can see..
melo – Most of the drama happened after his dad died and I was trying to keep him from becoming totally withdrawn. Many people claimed to have not to have seen or heard from him in weeks. So I thought I was doing something by letting him know I really cared.
Some of it blew up in my face tho!

Am I a chauvanist? Some one help me out. I’ve never really asked myself this question.
Have you ever let a woman drive your car in your life (family members don’t count)? No
Do you prefer to drive rather than your wife or SO? Yes
Have you ever given the keys to your place of residence to anyone other than your spouse? Hell no. I was a little leary when I had a roomate in college and he gave his girlfriend the keys to our appartment, and half the time we were up to no good. But that’s what you get in a roommate situation.

I have learned through my many years of dating, that when a guy stops calling me, seeing me, I leave him one message. If he does not return my call, I walk away. There are other fish in the sea and I have better things to do than to chase a guy down and seem desperate. As the saying goes “he is just not into you
”. If a guy really wanted to be with me, he would be with me.

it’s funny how dudes complain about women being emotional. let’s get real here. maybe you need to read the venus/mars books from dr. john gray. news flash for the men: WOMEN ARE EMOTIONAL BY NATURE! IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS EMOTIONAL, THEN GET WITH A DUDE! i mean, you want a woman to be feminine, sexy, blah blah blah but she can’t be emotional with certain things? GTFOH. if you don’t want to deal with a woman’s emotions, i’ll say it again, GET WITH A DUDE AND STFU!

LOL You are correct. One of my girl friends was entangled with a crazy and the cop that came out to her house one evening told her to get a restraining order. She asked him have they started making them to stop bullets now.

Ctha1 I wouldn’t say that sounds like you are a chauvanist but rather very territorial or particular about your possessions?
My husband prefers to drive because he thinks that men are better drivers. That attitude is more chauvanistic than your examples.

The purpose of the restraining order is to scare the person and let them no law enforcement is on alert. The po-po can’t patrol outside your house 24/7 because “Lil Darrell” is upset you left him. He has to do something to get arrested.

lol. i get tired azz hell hearing dudes say stuff like “yeah she was cool, but she was too emotional or she caught feelings yada yada yada”. i mean, what do you expect? when a woman hits puberty, news flash, she get’s a period every month! she has hormones. women are emotional. it’s like dudes want a woman to be a woman in some aspects, but not in others. get a grip and go back to elementary science class and learn the differences between men and women. men put women down for being “too needy, emotional, clingy” or whatever but that is the way women are point blank! just like men love scratching their ballz, we women cannot stop you from being a man. it is who you are! gtfoh!
IF THE WOMAN YOU ARE DATING OR CONSIDER A JUMP OFF, BOOTY CALL, WHAT-THE-EFF-EVER IS SO CALLED CATCHING FEELINS, GETTING EMOTIONAL, TOO CLINGLY OR WHATEVER, OH WELL. GET WITH A DUDE! AS LONG AS YOU ARE DATING (AND SEXING) WOMEN, THIS COMES WITH THE TERRITORY!

Kym true but I don’t think true crazies scare that easy. And not many stick around while you call the cops and wait for them to come.
If someone threatens your life getting a restraining order does nothing. Instead of a restraining order she got a gun and a permit to carry it on her person.

Ladies, Just walk away and DON’T LOOK BACK. When he comes calling agin and he almost always DOES at some point, remeber why it did not work and REMIND HIM OF IT. Do not let him back in, if it did not work the first time it probably will not work the next time. Once a cheater ALWAYS a Cheater, etc, etc.. . I am not one for confrontation either. I just let things go quietly, they always come back and then I have to tell them sorry NO THANK YOU SIR!

Morning Folks!
I am NOT one to avoid confrontation – if I feel a confrontation is needed then I will get to confronting. But most times it doesn’t even get that far.
I will admit that I was guilty of calling a guy after the disappearing act. That stemmed from when one of my boyfriends got in a car accident after leaving my house. We usually talked every day and when he didn’t call one day, I just thought he was done – then I got the call that he was in the hospital. After that (and a few other events) I got in the habit of calling to make sure they were still alive. And when I got in touch with the guy I would tell him that and hang up – no need to talk after that disappearing act. But then I got older and realized that some guys are just trifling like that and if they pulled a disappearing act, I’d call once – say a prayer for them and keep it moving.
My last breakup happened when emotions were really high. After about 3 weeks I initiated the conversation to determine what REALLY caused the break-up. After that we toyed with getting back together – well he ‘toyed’ with it and one day I just decided to walk away. I am so glad I did.
Page – I’m planning to see TP’s new movie this weekend. I’m trying to strategize my location.

It’s not about being “emotional” (that’s a misuse of the word), most guys are usually referring to the actions females take in an uncontrolled emotional state.
Emotions are natural – men and women have them; but we men (somma us) have been trained to control our responses. For example: a man can’t go punching “stuff” because he’s angry – even though he may feel like it. Women in general don’t have that cultural limitation, and the “[too] emotional” women REALLY go off.

Its called turning off the oxygen, so we dont have to be the one that breaks up with you.. But hey women do it also where they wait for their “Out” and then boom a dude is left there pining for her after she has checked out and moved onto the next relationship.. Evrybody does it because no one wants to be the bad guy in the relationship orwants to hurt someones feelings. I guess my logic is if they breakup with me they will feel better about it, eventhough had I checked out emotionally sometime agao..
