She gave me a rare Japanese cut of my Favorite Artist, Todd Snider. I was dumbstruck (and stoned), so I reached into my empty pocket and lo and behold all I had was my house key.
I'm glad my pockets are too small to carry drawers and closet space for all 'her' accessories.

It's a moot point @corbe ...
If you're like me, she's been doing the step and fetch with your wallet in hand, and the laundry (cleaning out your pockets), not to mention cleaning up the place... She has had ample opportunity to get keys made since early on. So your giving her a key is more symbolic than anything else.
If she's been there 6 months your belly won't let you give her up anyhow.
But I DID check the doggie door option, because it is an important attribute in case y'all get locked out... Lord knows I ain't fitting through the dog door, which leaves but one option. :shrug:
Congratulations. :laugh: :seeya:

Which brings another subject to mind... Any woman can walk in anywhere with any man's credit card and have her way with it. But it don't work the other way around. Figgers.

I didn't vote for either one. If she can't fit through the doggie door there's always the bathroom window.

The last time I got locked out I had to kick the door in. There goes three hundred bucks.
Then I remembered I could pick the lock... and my picks were in the truck.
Then I remembered there's a master set of keys for my place down at the ranch.
Sh*t. That's what happens when you ain't got a woman.
-
I never gave my last one a key and she lived here off/on for 10 years. Granted when she was doing meth she could fit through my Doggie door. Robin is much more financially off as I am.
Besides, it's one of those locks that are easy to rekey anyway, if things go sideways, which I doubt.
Robin has a lot to do with keeping me grounded, Good Women.
Yes, I voted the prostitution thing, too.

My best friend and I went out to the bar and when we left the bar I discovered that I locked my keys in the car...so...I had to call my boyfriend (now husband) that I just started dating at 2 a.m. in the morning to come rescue me....I knew he was handy with picks. It was a tad tricky as there was a cop sitting across the street. All ended well though. We laugh now but it wasn't funny then.

My girlfriend (now wife) and I had been on about 10 dates when I gave her a cashier's check and power of attorney to buy a house for cash. I had been trying to get the deal closed before I returned to working overseas and they could not make it happen fast enough.
Granted, a couple of those dates lasted nearly a week each.
We had been friends for a couple of years but our courtship was mostly by mail the preceding 9 months or so.

I say you more or less gave her the keys to the whole kingdom. Glad it worked out for you.

If she's the sort to calmly move into the traces and start pulling some load, you're more or less obliged to let her. It is just a matter of efficiency. She cannot represent you, or your household, without the tools to do so... so at least with me, that normalization comes quickly.

I saw a documentary on the brutality he inflicted upon her.
After living through Ike's “torture” for 16 years (as she described it to People in '81), Turner (then 37) divorced the musician in 1976. Their divorce was finalized in 1978, but she got close to nothing from it. All she got was two cars and the rights to her stage name.
She made it on her own; she didn't need a key. Her estimated net worth is $250 million! They were both inducted into the Hall of Fame but Ike was serving 18 mos for drug possession and couldn't attend. Later, she did not attend his funeral; good for her.

That is kinda my normal, though I do admit to having a bit of trouble staying inside the lines from time to time... :whistle: :cool:

Really a tough one for me to answer, never reached a six month level of dating per say. I got engaged to my wife of 45 years after four months of dating and she was only the third girl I ever dated :pondering: not sure that even counts because I told her I was going to put a ring on her finger first time we went out. That's what happens from being 19 and stupid.

But it is a good song, Abbey RoAd was a good album.

@libertybele
Tina Turner was damn near a super power on stage. The band would hit a note,and she would just freaking explode.

@corbe
Why is there no weed option? After 6 months, she probably knows where you stash your weed.

Yes a good song, but I liked Joe Cocker's version better.

19 and stupid? Your marriage has lasted 45 years, give yourself some credit here.
I did date a guy who on the first date, took me to look at wedding dresses and showed me the church we were going to get married in. I never dated him again! He scared me.

@libertybele
Why? Did you think he might be a little obsessive?
I once dated a redheaded woman (my all-time favorite kind of woman) who asked me on our second date "What are you going to buy my son for his birthday?"
Her son seemed to be a perfectly nice toddler,but I was maybe 20 years old and this was on our second date,so I told him "I'm not going to buy him anything."
She responded with "Don't you love him?"
I responded with "Hell,no! I don't even love you!"
And that was the end of the second,and final date.
I still think I dodged a bullet on that one to this very day.

@Hoodat I made the terrible mistake of getting involved with with my connection. If it all goes sideways I'll be in Rehab real quick.

One benefit to being in rehab is that you can't be arrested, at least not in Georgia. Rehab is considered 'psychiatric care' and protects a 'patient' from any outstanding warrants.
Don't ask me how I know this.

I think he was a lot obsessive. He had a violent streak to him as well. Prior to taking taking a look at bridal gowns, we had a few drinks, the place was busy and someone accidentally spilled a tiny bit of their drink on him; he was getting ready to haul off and punch him , when a few patrons stepped in and held him back. Guy was a whack-a-doo.
As for your situation, I think you dodged a bullet too. I think she was looking for someone to support her and her kid.

First time I've ever heard this song and any more I have to agree with you, it's how I feel about most things. Indeed the best way to get by is to do your own thing!
-
Cash, Grass, or Ass ,no one gets a key for free.
But as you're taking that attitude, I'm guessing dating for six months would involve much of the last of those three, so is that a "Yes?"
-
@Texas Robin and I have hit the Trifecta because we share all 3 and a credit card is required for only one.
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
