me?

Says the now ex-girlfriend. Fuck. Oh well, another one bites the dust. I need to get off the habit of going for pretty, indoors types...

Unfortunately I seem to be a magnet to them, and a fantastic repellent to interesting outdoorsey types...

[metal arms]

Bad luck dude.

For future reference it's OK to lie to women though...

[Jaspersharpe]

Sorry I can't help darling. I'm dead.

[SA Chris]

Ce cera cera Ali.

What you need is a good weekend of heavy drinking in Edinburgh to drown your sorrows.

Our train arrives at just before 9, I'll buy you a pint, and we can discuss in detail.

Maybe you have too high personal grooming standards?

Just make sure you don't fall into the trap of going for pretty, mental types

Been there, done that - that's the Ex². Incidentally, she got in touch recently - AVOID AVOID!

Jasper, how the hell did you manage to find a photo of her, you weirdo stalker 

Aye Chris, pre-emptive apologies for excessive drunkenness, bad chat and chasing skirt...oh wait a minute...it's a stag do!

Luck ... or good timing?

Bugger.

[andy popp]

I probably shouldn't identify them but I knew an extremely well known professional climber who, at the height of his career, was given the 'me or climbing' ultimatum. D'oh!

I on the other hand was given the 'its me or Stoke' ultimatum. That one was a no-brainer.

[SA Chris]

As long as it wasn't "It's either me or Stokes".

[yorkshireman]

had this argument with an ex gf who wasnt outdoorsy,my response was that i had been climbing for 12 years and only with her for 2 years and i operated a last in first out policy  funny now that on her facebook likes she lists camping and walking which she didnt seem to give a toss about when i was with her 
i do try and maintain some form of balance though as in i will sacrifice the odd climbing session here and there to keep them happy but not at the total expense of the sport i love,or a trainign cycle 

[Nibile]

did all girlfriends agree to ask the question in this very weekend all over the world?

[Oldmanmatt]

Ah...
I know this song!
Only cost me a wife and a really enjoyable divorce/removal of any and all acrued assets.
Still, found the right one in the end.

Then,
We had kids...

[magpie]

Sorry to hear that, but if she isn't willing to take you as you are and accept the things that are important to you in your life then she probably wasn't worth keeping around anyway.

I'm sure you won't struggle to find a suitable replacement very soon.   

[Falling Down]

Looking at the Karma Stats my guess is he got lucky this weekend..

[lagerstarfish]

celebrating that sort of behaviour is both juvenile and offensive

nice one

[Oldmanmatt]

Lucky git....

[ianv]

I probably shouldn't identify them but I knew an extremely well known professional climber who, at the height of his career, was given the 'me or climbing' ultimatum. D'oh!

If that person is who I think you are referring to  , I bet the hardest part of the decision was where to buy the one way ticket back to deutschland.

[ducko]

These females and there crazy ways! I had this chat with the ex my reply was climbing doesn't moan at me nor does it cost me lots of money, didn't go down to well,
I now have a pretty female who let's me do what I want when I want, happy days

[SA Chris]

A pretty female what?

[Fultonius]

 



But...


The ex got back in touch, saying she didn't think we had fully discussed the situation...   

[SA Chris]

As I sad before, it's OK though, you were "on a break"

[Oldmanmatt]

But...


The ex got back in touch, saying she didn't think we had fully discussed the situation...   

That sounds...

Dangerous!!!

[magpie]

To me, that sounds very much like she thought you'd cave under an ultimatum and agree to climb less and do more of what she thinks you should be doing instead, now she realises you're serious about your climbing and not going to bow down to threats she's maybe decided she was a bit hasty with her 'me or climbing' effort.

Also, the 'we were on a break' line never goes down well, with either sex, trust me.
