Men are territorial bulls by nature. They can’t handle this. Maybe at first it seems tolerable and you feel special cuz the rest have to pay and aren’t getting the intimacy level you are with her and you manage relatively drama free for a period of time but once real feelings develop everything changes like you won’t fully understand how difficult it becomes and how emotionally painful it’ll be for you until you’re actually at that point
Very well put Ms H.
If a guy who has been around the horn a few times claims he CAN handle it, that guy is one delusional fucker.
It will be the case that once you have that "SHES THE ONE" thing and it all goes to hell in a hand basket, well working, working out, sleeping, drinking you name it, just does not get that woman out of your head.
Time is the only thing that really works.
That and another smokin hot gal that wants to fuck your brains out.
