My ex-girlfriend thinks I'm sad for buying razors!

[danster.shay]

My wife thinks I'm, um... challenged... because I have a new obsession (DE razors and shaving) and "one razor is enough", etc... She got so tired of me talking about it today that she bought me a EJ Medium Super Badger to shut me up.

You can be sure you're not alone.

Hey, who here wants a new brush???

Hey, who here wants a new brush???

My wife bought me a new bullet proof vest today for nearly the same reason. I have been wanting that for a long time.

 

[Barbarian]

why would you care about what an ex-girlfriend thinks?

Where the hell do YOU live!?

Sad? She's your ex, watching you bid on ebay, and she's calling you sad? If she was hot(which too often comes with a 'the world owes me because of this' attitude), I'm sure whatever passes for her personality blocked that right out. Watch your tires...as for what she thinks, well, let's check the 'ol Give-Damn-O-Meter...hmm, it doesn't seem to be registering. Reads "Insufficient Sample."

 

[northpaw]

Just shrug it off, nice and easy. She's got some pain there, or she wouldn't want to make you feel bad. Let her know that you're fine, and that you care about her as a person - why not?

"Not sad at all - it's just something I enjoy. Hope you find something you enjoy, too."


High road = don't have to worry as much about your tires

If my ex called me up about my selling razors on Ebay, my next item for sale would be something like "Candid pictures of my Ex Girlfriend taken with my secret camera" with a BIN price of two cents and free shipping.

 

[SHarris]

Yeah sweetheart, I found these inanimate objects more interesting than you.

 

[ambrose]

Change your ebay password and buy more razors

 

[Sharp Blade]

Change your ebay password and buy more razors

+ 1 Yea,that's the ticket !! Now we know why she's your ex girl friend !

My ex gf messaged me through Facebook, saying how much weight she'd lost and wasn't it sad we weren't together...... I messaged back and said the weight she lost was like "Throwing a deck-chair off the Titanic", plus she'd still do more damage to the iceberg......

I don't care what other people think of me, I had too many years worrying about that, do what makes you happy, and stuff everyone else!

Your ex-girlfriend needs to get a life. Don't let her immaturity have any effect on you.

 

[justice strike]

who broke it off? you or her? how many razors do you buy on ebay? etc... etc...

simply too little information to tell anything. Besides (and don't take this the wrong way), you probably don't want a truthfull answer, this is hardly the most unbiased place to ask this question.

 

[thermographer]

When I mentioned to my wife about searching antique shops looking for razors, I got the look,

After pointing out that most antique shops are close to chocolate, she was willing to go along with it.

I may be overanalysing this , ( hey I'm a psychology student and it's what I do), but perhaps by belittling your interests and personality she is actually trying to justify her bad decision in breaking up with you. It's called cognitive dissonance and is the tendency to find justifications for making bad decisons (which cause feelings of tension or 'dissonance') in order to make oneself feel better about the decison (thus easing the tension).
Now if you want a radical feminist opinion.........no I won't go there

Pete

Heck, I am an engineer, and I don't even play a psychologist on TV, but I know that Pete is right.

Many healthy men (and women) have passions and interests - whether sailing, golf, ham radio, woodworking, model railroading, collecting maps or stamps or coins or buying and selling shaving gear - whatever. These are passions - they are not done to please or impress others, not done for monetary gain or fame, they are done for sheer existential (and harmless) pleasure.

If something makes you happy, and doesn't harm others, then the really sad player is the one who feels compelled to put you down for enjoying life. As they say... "hurt people hurt people.".

within bounds ofcourse. Doing something you like to much is not healthy and is considered obsessive compulsive behaviour.

Washing your hands every 5 seconds doesn't harm anyone else but isn't normal and shouldn't be treated as normal. Now we don't know the extent of the "problem" so if he is buying 5 razors online selling an equal amount... would say, good for you. If he's selling 50.000 individually, for hobby purposes. I would say, you have a problem.

Point being, we know too little and this isn't a unbiased forum to ask this on.

 

[Kratos]

Bias doesn't matter in this situation. He said he bought some blades and sold a couple razors. Hardly obsessive. Whether this was a shaving forum or a muscle car forum, what she is doing is pretty pathetic. Besides, I bet her shoe collection outnumbers his razors by a healthy margin.

My roomies think I'm weird for buying DE shaving related material

Tell her it's not "SAD" it's "SRAD"
