Grumblings

[Bionca]

Thanks everyone - it seems the main theme is to talk it over with him (or just dump him). To be fair to him, he is a Marine, and poking fun and insulting with his friends is just the way they bond. I can take a good rib and give it right back as well as anyone. Part of the issue is me needing to tell him when he's over stepped my boundaries and I need to talk about that.

The larger issue is, I need to be able to count on my guy to stick up for me if I'm being insulted, not sit back while I'm being insulted (and by non-action agreeing to the insults). While I can defend myself, some help is always appreciated... and it just seems that respect would dictate that he at some point he would have told his brother to lay off.

I'm not so pressed about him discussing our sex life (and to be honest I only caught part of the discussion and it *was* positive). After all, he is part of it too. It was probably the combination of teasing+brother insults+sex-talk that sent me into a WTF moment.

I also think he is insecure about his feelings. He had that fantasy, and I did a rather good job on his first time (if I say so myself). I'm also pretty easy to like. I think he's afraid because he likes me more than he expected and he's trying to get his mind around that. *sigh* maybe I'm just giving more benefit of the doubt than he's worth... grumbles

Yes I think you should really tell him it wasn't OK for him to not punch his bro on the arm and say "STFU"...lol

I think it's only natural to do this...it's a male showing off thing, and man he's a lucky guy - you're so pretty! Maybe not in front of you though, or change the tone in front of you =/.

Yes, trying to get your head around ANYTHING can be a bitch...and I think it shows he likess you even more because of his actions...that sounds stupid, but if he's acting out it's coz he's really into you and is trying to sort it out in his head, otherwise he'd just give ya the cold shoulder, be more straight with you.
Take it easy, have a chat and ride this as long as it will go. He may not be the one, he may be...just do right by yourself. <3

Well, a gurl's gotta do what a gurl's gotta do. I would have talked to him about as long as it would have taken me to put my cowboy boots into his crotch. But, not my call.
Dating a marine is sometimes like taking modern medicine. You have to like abdominal pain and diarhea.
If I had options, I'd sure take a hard look at them.

I like your attitude. Would you like to wrestle? Boots on or off?
