Men & Women!

I'm new here and I just wanted to discuss men & women relationships. Why do us "women" have to make it SO difficult? I am by NO means a 'normal' girl. My husband is perplexed by the things I don't get upset, obsess, or nag him about. He even asks me questions such as: Why do women always "....." I look at him with a blank expression on my face because half of the time I have NO clue why women do the things they do to men!
Anyway... what do you think out there? Do relationships really have to be that difficult?

@ArtisticFlames I thought you were down to Earth. Though you're from Venus, you were raised on Earth, a planet with men and women both

I don't see a huge gender gap nowadays, especially when it comes to my generation.
I feel you, I don't get these stereotypes either and I'm very annoyed when I hear someone saying "but you are a woman and you should...". 
Of course, there's something biological we can't erase, but these gender expectations make life stressful.
Relationships can be difficult because it's hard two people agree on everything, their moods and goals should always be aligned and so forth.

I don't think the whole... "Romantic Movie" Genre has helped realistic relationships any either. lol I mean.. come on! I don't need flowers and to be swept off my feet and I don't have to do anything but look pretty? Nuh uh.. life doesn't work like that! BOTH people have to make an effort to make a relationship work. Neither should have to do all the giving and expect to get all the receiving. If 2 people agree on everything and are always happy.. that is soooo not real! My husband and I agrue but we never have blowout fights or say really horrible things that neither can take back or recover from.

@ArtisticFlames Exactly. 
Some discussions and arguments are fine, but of course, there must be diplomacy and reciprocity, and a healthy amount of dialogue.

Well..For me, It`s normal that we have some differences and in the long time being together you`ll start to be more understanding as life is really like that

I know there are always differences. I just meant that we don't have the usual arguments that I hear other men complain about their women. I just find relationships interesting!

@ArtisticFlames Same with me as we can understand each others differences. Did you had a long time relationship before Marriage?

@m_audrey6788 I have had several relationships. Some that were 'fun/casual' others that I never should have been in. Some were emotional/verbally abusive. I have been with my husband for 7 years now. I met him when he was unemployed. He found a job in another state when we were dating and asked if I wanted to move with him. So, I up and went!

Welcome to MyLot! 
Relationships don't have to be difficult but the problem is people are difficult. They misunderstand, use, abuse, lie and cheat.

Some people believe that it may keep a spark in the marriage or relationship. The way I see it is you should be yourself from the start. If you are than the relationship will work out just fine.
I have seen some relationshipsort start off perfect, however as time goes on, a person cannot keep up with the way they were at the start of the said relationship.
This is when some people become mean or spiteful towards each other.
It's sad, but it's true.
