For any man in a relationship there will come a day when your friends utter the phrase "Dude you screwed up!"
Don't panic this
is normal. Stay in a relationship long enough and the question will not be a matter of if, but when, how often, and how badly you
screw up. This site is dedicated to helping answer the question so what do I do now.
Let me say right now that I don't have the perfect answer to you particular situation, but I'll bet the collective minds of millions of dudes that have screwed up too, working together can help.
A relationship between a man and a women is like building a house that is new quite finished, and just when we think we're nearing the end of the project they tear down a room or dig up the yard to start remodeling a section at a time. As with any building project there will be difference between the architect, the builder, the inspector, and the owner (which by the way isn't you).
