What do you do when someone who already admitted that they have 85 percent access to you, yet they want more? In this circumstance presented here, do you think that (wanting more of you)is a 'good thing' to demand from anyone? Kindly explain your answer.

Hi friend, no one have the rights to control others, i wonder why you admitted some one to acess 85% of yours? if we give this kind of permission to some one, they will try to get the full 100% permission from us, it is the basic human nature, i don't allow other persons to control me, i will take their suggestion and advice, if it is good and nice to follow

Hi friend, how are you? I was surprised to hear that this lady admitted that in her opinion, she already had 85 percent of my time, and she wanted more. Can you imagine that? Apparrantly, she is accustomed to control others- irrespective of the type of friendship/ relationship she has with others. However, despite explaining that being selfish will not auger well for any future interractions with me (or anyone else) she continued with that line of argument. Well, not to worry Vidhyarakash, I did what was necessary, and that action was that I immediately insisted on the 'discipline', by curtaining future access that she would usually recieve from me, to myself!

How can you compute for the percentage tha tyou have given to someone. i think that is quite hard to know for sure... it is always going to be an estimate, of course... i sure hope not to be able to give all of me to someone. i know how it was to be giving all you got and when that someone goes everything seemed to have gone with him too. I think if you can hold on to a percentage of yourself.. it is best to retain it.

Chiyosan, how are you? In explaining how that computation came about, the lady stated that she has already had access to 85 percent of my time, and she wants more. Despite her arguments, I reminded her that in life, nobody will be able to get everthing that they want.., and she is no different than anyone else. All those speech was to no avail, as she was prepared to be selfish in her demands of me. Anyway, I like your answer, and I will keep 'my' percentage of myself for me.

That depends on what your relationship with this person is & what you mean by "85% access"... I don't believe "demanding" of other people is a good thing regardless of what the circumstances are... My girlfriend has access to all my personal things, including my bank accounts & cell phone & cell phone bills & email accounts & everything else you could think of when you think "personal things"... When we're not together, she can call me any time she wants to & I will answer the phone if I could & if I can't, I'll let her know the first chance I can... And it goes both ways... It's not that she demands that of me or I demand that of her... It just comes to us naturally... But again, you're not so clear on what you meant by "access", does that mean being available whenever the other person wants to hang out or with belongings or both? Obviously people can't be available all the time... Even though I live with my girlfriend, there are times when I go to work, when I'm out doing chores & hanging out with my friends or having some personal time...

Sk66rc, I like your approach to the question asked, and the rationale behind your answer. Indeed, it depends on how access is defined, and how accessibility to each other is exercised in the relationship being experienced between them. I aggree with you that access to each other should come naturally between parnters, expecially if the 'ground rules' that lay the foundation governing the type of relationship is clearly defined; such as, the degree of openness and the level of sharing of ones personal space. I aslso agree that placing demands on each other is not necessarily a good thing to do.., under any circumstances whatsoever. In my question, the lady stated that she has already had 85 percent access to me, and she wants more! Based on her argument, she was referring to the fact that in her opinion, she already had access to my 85 percent of my time, and she wants to get more of it. I showed her emphatically, that she will not get everything she wants in life, and to be selfish in her expressions will not auger well for the future. She reiterated that being a woman, she does not care about my position on the subject, because she wants more of my time, and that's it! Therefore, do you agree with my stance on this matter, whereby I decided to insist on the 'discipline' by resisting the 'selfish' advances of this lady?
