What would you tolerate in your relationship?

February 7th 2010 12:29

I pose the question, how much do you put up with in your relationship? I want to hear what frustrates others in their relationships. What frustrates me most in my relationship with (XY) is waiting for up to 2 or 3 hours for my partner to get ready (yes, she is a woman.) I want to know if anyone else (man or woman) would put up with this? I don't care if you are in a straight or gay relationship. I'd like to know your thoughts on this. I hate waiting for others, so this is something I haven't had to deal with before (when I was single.) It has caused many heated arguments in our household. My latest strategy was to go out and do something else while I was waiting for her to get ready. She still wasn't ready when I returned. But at least I got other things done while I was waiting. I just can't stand wasting time. The other thing I've done which helps is, if I want to be somewhere at a certain time, I tell my partner I want to leave an hour earlier than when I actually wanted to leave. Again, she still wasn't ready to leave in that hour.

I agree with this. I hate waiting for other people, but more so I hate that those people don't see that wasting peoples time is not nice.
Anyway I live in Egypt, and the time thing here is really really really relaxed. Half an hour can turn into 2 hours easily, so I have had to adapt a lot. But what I try to do is just always have something on hand like a book or a notebook so I can always busy myself. I'm not worried if I have something to do.

You want to be the one wearing the pants in the relationship, that should always be put into consideration in term of what you are willing to put up with.

Quite honestly, having to wait hours for someone to get ready would drive me mad! In fact, I doubt whether I could hang around for too long and I would probably be gone already!

That's why we are called woman. You would not like you beauty to frustrated on your trip because she don't feel comfortable about how she looks.

Two to three hours to get ready? What on earth is she doing? Yes, that would drive me bananas. If she knows you are waiting, she should be more considerate.

I'm a woman, but it doesn't take me hours to get ready - that's just ridiculous.

My sentiments exactly AnnaBanana. I have developed strategies to deal with this person's annoying habit. I give myself an hour's grace (If I want to leave at 6pm, I ask her to be ready at 5pm.) What I do now is I go and do other things while she is getting ready, so that by the time I get back, she is ready.) I have less expectations of her. I actually knew we had to go somewhere the other day, so I purposely didn't get ready until I could see she was almost ready and then she had to wait for me. (only 5 or 10 mins.) That was interesting to see (when the shoe is on the other foot.) It's not quite the same as waiting in a doctor's surgery for your doctor's appointment. You have a book or magazine at the ready. Getting ready to go out at a particular time is a different matter. The reason why my partner (XY) takes so long is because she is transgender. M-F. Therefore, she has to do her face (she is fastidious about any hairs on her face or neck.) I guess one cannot blame her or judge her. She is used to lots of strange looks and nasty comments. Consequently she rarely goes out. She will not go out anywhere without make-up and without doing her face. This could mean standing in front of the mirror for a long period of time. It is just something I have had to get used to. I guess you could say, "I would do anything for love." What are the things you would not do or tolerate? Keep talking everyone. I enjoy a good chat. Tell me if you could go out with someone who is transgender? or someone who took so long to get ready?
