Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Jesus, I don't think you stick with a woman just because "she treats you good".................I could probably find a million girls who will treat me good, but that doesn't mean that they are the one.

I think you have done the right thing, because there is no point in prolonging your own misery.. You have to do what makes you happy, and if for some reason you guys belong together then some time apart may show this to ya.

I support your move and I think you did with dignity......carry on.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

She and I are meeting in 20 minutes to return belongings to one another and she apparently has a gift she wants to give me. She texted me today saying "Im sorry babe this is harder than i thought. I miss u. Love u 2 more than ul ever kno."

I was miserable in the last part of our relationship. The spark was gone. I think kingwilliam hit the nail on the head.

As for those who are thinking this was a foolish move and that there won't be another woman like her perhaps you are right perhaps you are not.

I truly believe I am doing both of us a favor by ending it now. Thank you to all the members here for their support, advice and wisdom.

Yo Commander Charm,


Walk the path you have chosen with your head held HIGH, soldier. If you KNOW that your decision didn't come from a place of maliciousness or malevolence------then carry NO guilt with you.

Because I believe if Shakespeare were a DJ here, he would have given you THE BEST advice when he wrote THIS line:

"To thine OWN SELF, be true."



Peace...one day.
