Guard Dog Relationship

It has nothing to do with Dogging, the sex act. It is a form of toxic relationship where one person in the relationship expects the other to fight all their battles for them, and basically be their guard dog. Partners should stick up for each other, but this is way overboard. The individual expects their "guard dog" to jump into the middle of every argument, fight and grievance they have, because they are completely unable to fight their own battles. They want you to always be their go-between essentially. Should the "guard dog" refuse, they will be guilt-tripped to all hell about how they don't really love them. They will probably also use the "After ALL I do for you... could you not just do that ONE thing for me?" line.

And even if the guard dog DOES try their best to get into the middle of a fight that has NOTHING to do with them, and try to resolve it, it will never be enough. The guard dog will probably hear "is that all? You didn't help me at ALL! You really let me down!"

If someone makes you their guard dog on a regular basis, break up with them immediately.

Robert: (Sarcastically) Amy your hair is ugly.
Amy: BEN!!! Are you just going to let Robert sit there and say my hair is ugly? SAY SOMETHING TO ROBERT!!!
Ben: He was just joking, man. He clearly said it in a jokey way.
Amy: You NEVER stick up for me, I guess you don't love me enough. After I got you that lovely ring, too!
Ben: Sigh... Robert, it's not nice to tell people their hair is ugly, even as a joke.
Amy: IS THAT ALL?! YOU SAID IT TO HIM SO SOFTLY!! HE LITERALLY INSULTED MY HAIR THAT I SPENT AN HOUR ON AND I'M REALLY SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT!! Do you view me as just not worth the effort or something?! Do I not deserve a bit of sticking up for?!
Ben: Robert, don't make offensive jokes about my girlfriend's hair, you twat. It's not funny, she's really self-conscious about it and I won't hang out with you if you insult my girlfriend that way.
Amy: You didn't even bring up the time 2 months ago when he said my clothes didn't match!!!
Robert: Look Ben, we used to be best friends, but now all you've done since you got with Amy is be her guard dog. Enjoy your guard dog relationship, I want no part of it. Bye.

Is the guy always right in the relationship?

Yes the guy is always right. The girl should know that and not try to argue. There is no possibility that the girl could ever be right.

TMR - Text Message Relationship

Test Message Relationship. When you have a relationship with someone only through texting. You text a lot, but never talk on the phone or meet out in person. It is a friend you have via text messaging and a way of getting attention from someone.

We are in a TMR - Text Message Relationship. I have been TMRing for 6 months. I wonder if we will ever meet up.

I sent a TMR to him when I got home from the bar. We TMRed for an hour.

Synaptic Relationship

My thoughts are the threads of the tapestry of my life. I manifest my life with my thoughts. Without my thoughts I am a comatose vegetable with no manifest reality. Every thought to which I attach a personal emotion becomes a stitch in my tapestry. I can think fear without being fear, but the moment I attach my personal emotion of fear to a fearful thought, I have invited fear into my life. One lonely fearful thread may not do any harm but, if I am not careful, very soon the threads of fear work together to make a pattern in my life. Then a scene begins to emerge in my tapestry - a needle point detail that describes my fear - with some focus the entire threads become a scene of fear; by fear and for fear. No matter how I spin it, no matter how I try to artistically codify those threads, in the end it is still a scene about fear.

By attaching an emotion to my thoughts - i.e. joy, fear, hate, love or anger - the thought acquires a synaptic relationship to that emotion (a comfort zone, if you will). This emotional investment manifests a fabric of emotion to drape over my thought and clothe it with something that belongs to me (kind of like a uniform). Then my emotion is disguised as a thought, and the thought is disguised as an emotion. This emotional relationship gives my thoughts shape, texture and form in the three-dimensional world where my body resides - which is supposed to be outside of my thinking. Next a three-dimensional presence is manifested as the reality of my life, and it appears in the form of people, places and things.

My tapestry is quite like the plumage of a peacock, attracting other peacocks with a reality similar to my own. I grow the plumage - or weave the tapestry if you will (since I am mixing metaphors) - because it suits my purpose and my purpose is to live in fear, to doubt everything, not to trust anything or anyone - or NOT.

“My thoughts were stitched into the fabric of my emotions
until the synaptic relationship to my feelings had dyed the tapestry
of my life the bright red color of fear.” ~Rusty Cline~
