Could you give up your boy toys for the good of your relationship?

Could you give up your motorcycle, boat, or man cave or comparable items.

Would you walk away, or sacrifice and stay?

Would it matter if it were an established relationship or someone new who you really cared for?

Boys will be boys. Toys are just that, toys. A loving relationship should be forever.

I would also give up my boy toy for a good relationship.

Yes, but could you have a meaningful relationship with Tommy boy?

Who?

Oh Cyndi, you mean to say no to Chris Farley?

i said it before and i'll say it again
you get nothing for nothing expect it when
you're backseat driving and your hands ain't on the wheel

ohkay now that i got that out of my system, it shouldn't have to be about a man giving up his life for a woman or her giving up her life for him. an adult male and an adult female should be able to merge their separate lives together and find some common ground. on occasion he could go with her to do something she likes and she could go with him to do something he likes. can't we all just get along

Oh that one...Big guy in a little coat...Tommy boy.

But I say no to everyone.

Nicely said.

This is more about extreme circumstances, like going through a hardship.

A circumcision would be extreme, and a hardship at my age.
<<<nearly faints at the thought.

Whoa there! Let's not get THAT extreme.

Anyway, I said boy toys. When you're in a relationship...that one's not YOUR toy!

Well...this is easy.

Since I don't really care about guy toys....cars ,bikes,guns,etc....it wouldn't bother me.

What would bother me...would be a woman having the gall to ask me to give up something I like.

That...I would construe as jealous insecurity.

Everyone should get to retain some of their individuality.

Sure there needs to be compromises...time together and time to still be your own person.

If I was flat out told...."I don't want you to (fill in the blank)"

I would be disappointed.

Is that a discreet way of saying I should quit playing with it?

Yeah....my bad.

I should have clarified the point better.

By "for the good of your relationship" I meant that it's a good relationship but going through a hardship of some sort.

No one is making any demands. It would be your own choice to give something up for the sake of the relationship....to be able to stay together.

Boy toys? What boy toys?

Only if you're taking it away from her to play by yourself.

Sure....I would sacrifice for the good thing I got.

These days...it is no longer about me...it is about we.

You've never heard of motorcycles and boats and sports cars referred to as boys toys before?

In Kansas City we have boys toys conventions. I suppose one day someone will sue.

I have another thread asking the gals if they'd give up their "stuff" too.

I'm getting more responses here though. Curious, that.

This is a conspiracy to get guys to part with their things because women don't like guys to have them, they come up with ways to get you to part with them. You must have heard the words, "You think more of that ********** than you do of me!" Sorry and all that, but unless it is a question of life or death it isn't going to happen.

You can have the girlfriend/wife, all you need to do is take over the payments.
