Men and women love it when their partner is nice. They don't like it when their partner is a push over and a lot of people who try to be nice in relationships end up being a push over hence the idea of nice guys finishing last.
Have you ever Been Cheated On By A Boyfreind or Girlfreind

confident/assertive seems to be the trait lacking in most of the 'nice guy' instances. It just gets amplified because the nice guy doesn't always think he's lacking it, and because it often seems that the women will see his lack of confidence, and end up with an asshole (no lack of confidence there), and then complain about her bad luck to the nice guy, who's too nice (i.e. timid) to stand up for himself, so has to sit there and listen to it...
I'm a single guy in my 40s. But not much longer.
Yeah, I'm gonna be a single guy in my 50s pretty soon too.
Whenever someone complains about their partner my advice is always the same. "Break up with them."

I'm a single guy who just turned 50 on July 2nd. So far being in my 50s is the same as being in my 40s.
Spot on.
I have no sympathies for assholes (well, beside me of course), but most of the times I see the term "nice" used in this context, it's usually a codeword for "dull and tepid".
I've never cheated, and never had anyone cheat on me, that I know of.
But then, I stopped dating about fifteen years ago.
I made a conscious decision to avoid close relationships with women when I started graduate school, in order to stay mobile, and maximize my chances of getting an academic job.
In the end, I got the job. But now, after fifteen years, I'm just not all that interested in women any more.

I'd say about 40%. Though that may have something to do with income disparity, and feelings of entitlement.
Nope, my 50th birthday is approaching.I'm a single guy in my 40s. But not much longer.
Are wedding bells approaching? I miss everything important anyone says here.
Thank goodness for women who want a father figure, huh?
Did you make it clear that you had dibs? If you left her alone, and didn't call "fives", she was fair game...
That's horrid advice. Getting married while you're young is usually a mistake as people change drastically personality wise until they reach 35 or so. Someone you work well with at 25 may not be someone you work well with at 30.

Well it depends what the problem is and whether if it is worth solving.
Alot of partners will have arguements and there is always a rush to end it.

Yes that is a hard one.
If l was cheating on a bloke l would be scared on how that person would react towards me.
But like you said you would have to say something or the relationship would continue and l would hate to have to go from one person to another
Alot want to be freinds after a relationship but l would find that hard to except since you would aways see that person with someone else.
