Choose your battles wisely. Car radios are for background noise not for listening. Racism, where and on what your money is spent, sex (frequency and form), common topics of conversation, these are what makes or breaks a relationship. If a fuc*ing radio station is a deal breaker one or both of you have bigger issues.


I can see that you didn't read the whole post. It wasn't her changing the radio station that was the problem. The problem was her general lack of respect for me and my things. The radio was just the first time I noticed it.


If you knew it was going to be something that bugged you, talk about it with her, rather than waiting for it to get worse.

He would be the type of guy who always insists on holding the remote and watching only what he wants on television. Who would want to live with a guy like that?

He He. I dated a guy that was always changing the channels; so I took the batteries out of the remote control and had not back ups in the house. He got the hint and never changed channels in the middle of a program again. laugh

That's funny. It would mean he would have to get his butt up off of the couch to change a channel. LOL

To me as long as its not country or a hockey game; I could care less really what the station is playing unless I am tired and need peppy music to keep me awake. :smile:

Dear Jane,
I have to break it off with you cuz I like country and Southern Rock.
Hasta la vista, baby!smokin

No worries. I like music that isn't going to put me to sleep and cause an accident, so gladly would give up a man that wouldn't put my life in danger with his music. bigsmile

I also wouldn't date someone who doesn't appreciate finer music like Opera or Classical and thinks Dolce is a banana. laugh

I have had someone in my life that had to be the person to decide everything we were going to do and when.....I realize it was probably some OCD thing, but to me, it seemed too controlling...and I don't need someone telling me what to do....that's what my Mother is for.

He also had some very wrong ideas about how my son should be treated, like sent to a private school where I wouldn't be able to see him but two days a week....ummmmm HELL NOOOOO!

If she doesn't like what I'm watching, she's welcome to go home and watch whatever she wants. That's what I'd do if I didn't like what was on TV. I'd NEVER change ask someone to change the channel on their TV or radio. If they were trying to figure what to watch I might suggest something, but if they didn't like it, I wouldn't insist.

However, this thread isn't about me. The question was if anyone had ever noticed a small thing that would eventually end the relationship. After reading the posts, I guess I'm alone in this one. But, thanks for the input all the same.

I an staying with my mom now and I can't stand what she watches on television so I go in my room and I have my own television there.

To be honest, I think a she was pretty rude (and presumptuous) to change your channel without asking.

one guy I dated, after about 3 weeks, was helping me move some furniture and kept suggesting I put things another way than the way I wanted.. although it did raise a lil 'red flag', I let it slide as 'just being helpful'.. then a week later he made other suggestions to my decor and I raised an eyebrow, asked "what's up" and was told simply, he was offering suggestions to a better look.. the following week while helping me with the dishes one evening says I should rearrange my layout, I asked him what was wrong with the things where they were.. he simply responded that it was more efficient his way.. I told him on his way out that evening thank you.. been a slice.. good luck 'n good bye

I believe I understand your OP.. that however small and ridiculous a minor annoyance can be.. inevitably.. it's our first indication of a later more serious concern of the others character, yet we seemingly tend to ignore our own best judgement at times.. ohwell

Wow.. that is a clear sign that if he moved in, he would have taken complete control of your home.. almost obsessive compulsive. You want to avoid people like that at all costs. He sounds like a "Monk" character. (Obsessive compulsive)

I dated a guy like that when I was renovating my house but I stuck to my guns and did the renovations/decorating my way. After he realized I knew what I was doing; he never again insisted on telling me how to renovate or decorate my house. :smile:

precisely.. and why he took the door that night AND I said good-bye.. suggestions are one thing.. expecting to re-arrange someone elses life? I don't THINK so noway

I won't say I'm SET in my ways.. no.. I'm actually very open to others thoughts and ideas.. and typically it's easy for me to understand them.. however, that shouldn't necessarily mean I need to change mine
