well any bloke who allows themselves to be treated like that asks for all they get. personally anyone who tried to treat me that way would be promtly told to piss off.

why would you want to treat somebody they like meanly? surely thats a sign that the one doing the mistreatment has a poor self esteem and needs to treat others like shit in order to feel better about themselves or feel they have some sort of power?

each to their own buts fucked up in my opinion.

Funny how only men have answered so far, and we've all said the same thing......

IT is (sadly) true, it is a case of tread on or be trodden on, but only sometimes.
The hard part is when you find someone you really do care for, you find yourself wanting to do nice things for them, so you really can't win.
I think as you get older, or should I say I HOPE that when you get older, this is not the case.
When you are the one being trodden on, it seems like the more you try, the worse it gets too.
I've been in both situations, and when you are the one being hurt it sucks, but when you are the 'nasty' one you get plagued by guilt at a later date...........

Yeah I can relate to that too, when you let them in, sometimes they marry you up!

I dont really think it applies, its a bit mean and theres no need for it, relationships should be equal and the shite does come with the good, as long as the good outweighs it thats all that matters i think. xx I hope your happy tho chic and if they hurt you again ill break their fingers

I think its being misinterpreted a bit here. My idea of treat em mean, blah, blah.....is not to jump when they click their fingers. So when they ask to see me again the day after tomorrow i just say i can't make that day, and don't offer a reason why, at this stage they don't need to know why.

I certainly wouldn't and haven't been mean to any men, its a waste of my energy to be honest, much better to use that energy in.....other ways

Erm let me think....................................................NO

It is never that easy, love does funny things to both a man and a woman.
Have you never been with someone and known that you would do ANYTHING for them?
It doesn't hit you at once and suddenly one day they start treating you like shit, they sneak it up on you gradually, and before you know it you are knee deep in shit and sinking fast...
I've done it to a couple of people in the past, and boy do I regret it now, the funny thing is I really did think a lot of them too.
My last relationship ended badly (for me) , that badly that it has kind of put me off relationships for a while.
No doubt that will change but I'm in no rush.......
