Need help explaining guns to girlfriend

[faris1984]

Man you are spending more time than she worth.
Just walk away..Actually run away.

At this point, this essay is an intellectual exercise. I've pretty much made my decision to break up.

Get her to break up with you, then you can be the injured party.


Or sleep with a bunch of her friends before you break up. Who knows, maybe one of them likes guns, is hot, single, and not bats**t crazy.

Keep editing, who knows, you might be able to sell it to a pro gun site!

Good luck.

Keep us posted.

I finally showed her the essay and told her that I don't think we're a good match. We've broken up.

Congrats you'll be much happier in the long run.......

So much drama, glad I only read the posts on Page 1 & 7 of this thread...

Hey OP, you're probably feeling down after breaking up, even if it was the right move. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Here's a song for you Frotz ... it's an old timer song ... you too young but it always worked for me.

Go have a few, get some strange and get her OUT of your system.

Have one for your baby and one more for the road ... and call a taxi to get home okay

It's ok man, you did good. Some people just aren't compatible - it could have ended much worse! Now I think you need a good range session.

Another relationship ruined by the internets. Usually its just the porn that does it....

Go buy a gun to celebrate, then find a pro 2A hottie.

Seriously, I think you were going to be living under her thumb and her rules till you went brain dead so good job.

It will be worth it.
Take your time and find a good one.
(Or quite a few good ones.)

I can't believe this made 8 pages.
Really in the end if you can't explain it in your own words it doesn't matter what any of us think. Your the one that has to spend the rest of your life with her. As my Dad once told me " Why buy a Cow when milk is free "
Marriage is a game of give and take. She will want what you won't give and when she finally gets it she won't want you.

Read a few pages but I might have missed it, but I wanted to know if you asked your GF why she does not like guns? (I mean really why?)

I was not fond of guns and weapons for quite a period of my life, but I had reasons. I remember citing the usual rhetoric but in reality it was a totally different reason. I felt abandoned and unprotected, and guns were a danger to me.

It took me more than a decade to work through that and go from one side to the other. She may need more time, and during that time she may need help.

I think you do care about her, you are here asking us about it. Try to put politics aside and give her a safe place to explain her feelings to you. Do not judge her, do not argue with her, those are her feelings. Help her bring them out and explain to her she is in a safe place. Then help her work through that.

Best of luck, let us know how it turns out.

WTH? Have you not read any of OP's posts?
What do you mean let us know how it turns out? It's over. Finito. There's no more discussion on why she doesn't like guns. That ship has sailed baby. Gone.
