EXACTLY. If he wasn't honest with you about this, what ELSE has he mislead you about.myburningdesire wrote:I just feel a little betrayed that this is how he honestly felt all along. Would have been much easier if he was up front from the beginning.
Also, my spidey-senses read that this guy is super insecure when confronted with that which he does not understand.
If it boils down to "I'm right and you're wrong if you disagree with me", really, is that what you want out of life?
Just sayin'. I'd walk.

I agree with Strech take him to some regional events, introduce him to some burner folks. But do it in a low key way at first, maybe dinner with some local burners, then an art show, maybe a party/fundraiser, find an art project in the area.
By doing this youare re-introducing your self ino the community and easing him into it as well.
Lead him to the water and the koolaid and see which one he drinks.
either way see you in 2011

well....
he is kinda right when you think about it. But he must have an awful view of these people. So he must be your classic 9 to 5 preprogrammed, I don't think for myself, and believe all the gov and media tells me to think, kinda robot, I mean guy. He's still in the system that's all.

While I agree with everything I read about never letting someone control you or settling in with someone who tries to, this is an awesome idea as well! Talk about a great way to change his mind - just thrust him into the middle of it! Nice!goathead wrote:1. duct tape, roll of capret,
2. let him loose.
3. if he complains to much refer to #1.
4. always the trash dumpsters in Wadsworth if needed on the way home.
Same here.
I just went through the same thing with a woman I had been seeing for a year "Burning Man a bunch of drunks an drug addicts" It was Burning Man or her. Well It was sad, but I'm going to Burning Man and you know I'm happy.Even my 90 year old mom encouraged me to go.

Thanks everyone for your input.
Let's just say he had alot of issues with many things that did not come out until after we had been dating for a year. I talked about BM often and went through my pictures. He never said a word. Until he blew up one day.
It took me a long time to figure out that I was his PROJECT. He was trying to change me into what he thought I should be and was furious when he realized I still wanted to go to BM. There was alot of other stuff too.
Oh well, I can't be anybody but myself, someone will want to deal with that eventually.

It's dumb enough to buy a fixer-upper in the housing market. But at least it's possible. And that's even before we get to the whole condecention of chosing someone who needs your help to be "good enough."
Well rid of the twit.
Edited to clarify: Some people do have the skills and capital to deal with a fixer-upper. For others it turns out to be a serious mistake.
