I'm not saying a degree doesn't help, I'm simply saying I wish my mom would understand her highschool diploma and 8 years of college doesn't change the fact shes a cashier in a grocery store.

Fair enough.

It's really not fair if you think about it, but you'd think she'd be more sympathetic to the fact that its not for me.

Right, new topic.


Why is it near impossible to understand women?

Because women are convinced they are uninterpretable and thus if you begin to understand they just dump you and screw your best friend.

The passage to adulthood is often a difficult journey. Humans start their life tender and fragile, incapable of achieving anything on their own. However it is not long before they find themselves faced with seemingly insurmountable responsibilities without any knowledge of how to overcome these trials. This is particularly true of the character Telemachus in Homer’s The Odyssey. In this story Odysseus, a king who fought in the Trojan War, finally returns home after wandering the world for several years following the destruction of Troy. In his absence, a great number of suitors begin vying for the hand of his wife, Penelope. It is at this time that his son Telemachus, at the age of 21, has thrust upon him the formidable task of removing these men from his home. Before he can attempt this feat, however, Telemachus must complete his passage to manhood. Without a father to educate him in the ways of combat and other traits befitting a prince of his stature, Telemachus would be unable to complete the task before him. Throughout the story Telemachus speaks to several characters who tell him of his father, inspiring him to rise to the standard set for him. By the last books of the poem, Telemachus has grown greatly, though he is not yet his father’s equal, and has finally become an adult. This series of trials and learning of ones past is integral to any person’s passage to adulthood. However, it is also parallels the growth and advancement of society. In Homer’s The Odyssey Telemachus’s rite of passage symbolizes the steps that must be taken to develop into a fully functional and stabile society.

In the first book of The Odyssey Telemachus is shown as having the mentality of a young boy. He had watched the suitors compete for his mother’s hand for several years, during which time they took complete advantage of the hospitality they had been shown. Telemachus, having never known his father, had resigned himself to the likelihood that his father was dead. Upon hearing a prediction of his survival, however, Telemachus seems to have an immediate change of character. He rebukes his mother for being consumed in her grief, reminding her that Odysseus was not the only warrior to not return from Troy. Soon after, he announces to the suitors that he will hold an assembly the following day. In between books I and II we see perhaps the most striking change in Telemachus. He is put to bed like a boy for the last time, and awakes as a man, as Aigỳpytios notes at the beginning of the book: “The man has vigor, I should say; more power to him. Whatever he desires, may Zeus fulfill it.”

They (women) want you and need you and will be all over you one minute and then they turn around and act as if you are a mild annoyance to them.

Not through anything one has done mind you.

Its just the moment there exists a state where they have enjoyment from something else, not someone else, you become a complete background factor in their lives.

So what to do, does one continue in the manner one acted when they were all over you or do you play the same game and stay out of what they are doing, the whole "giving them space".

Why is it the nature of the human condition to want that whichwe cannot have, but never to want it when we do.

Desire, always the possesor and never the possesee.

Case in point, long distance relationship:


Each party is leading separate lives but are still connected by their love for one another.

Enter the distance factor. Becasue of the distance spearating the two, it becomes neccessary for each to have their own life, as a joined life is not possible.

Thus, because each lives a separate life each begins to change, things are no longer done together and slowly each person evolves differently.

What this means is that when one of the parties tries to find out what happens in the others life, the individual whose life is being enquired into feels an invasion of privacy has occured and reacts in an appropriate manner.

I.e. They shut the other person out and then enters the all time classic line, "You are smothering me".

So what is the solution?

To explain to the other party that you are not trying to pry, but rather are interested in what goes on.

Or

To back off and wait for them to come to you?



Either way, the process is unsatisfactory.

It becomes a struggle for independance and the bond of the relationship.

What needs to occur is a "middle ground" a point that is reached where the separate lives are shared, but not "invaded" so to speak. Obviosly concern is shown by each party from time to time which can be once again misconstruid as an attempt to control the other.

Most often this is not the case, but again concern for the others wellbeing.

well that basically debunks the entire teenage theory of the long-distance relationship as most teenagers don't have the maturity and mental/emotional capacity to take such things into consideration.

I suppose the root cause of the problem is one person in the relationship feeling unapprciated.


I.e. Me at the moment.

What if there is no privacy between the 2? There are no secrets, nothing. No walls up, no hiding things... completely honest and open.

i actually had that with my ex. It gets alot of the bull**** out of the way and makes your relationship alot stronger, faster.

It can work, but as a result of distance and the people involved not being able to share a life together, it makes it difficult.

Two people sharinga common bond forced, in order to survive, to live separate lives and growing accustomed to that.

Thus the identity of each party is no longer that they are one part of a whole but rather an and the individual they were before.

Thus the relationship suffers in that each party reverts back to who they were before and thus the foundation of the relationship has to be built up once more.


In short it is a tightrope that must be crossed carefully and cautiously, without hast and disregard for both parties involved.
