Im not into the marriage thang myself. I dont judge what works for others but for me, IF I make a commitment, Im in it 100%. Otherwise I might as well be single and dating without the headache as I am now. Besides I couldnt juggle more than one person in a relationship, its just too complicated for me. wine

If I were to get married, or even if I were is a close relationship, I would not even think about sleeping with anyone else. I think that marriage is a sacred thing between two people who become one. I don't believe we should have other partners. Call me old fashion if you want, I don't care. tongue

True, but it was basically just there to make the point, if you and your parner agreed on any kind of extra activity in the relationship. It would be just that a decision between the two of you based on what each desired.

As I stated I dont judge what works for others Its no big thang to me, I was just pointing out your comparison is like comparing apples and oranges, hardly the same thing. An acting role involves a paycheck...A relationship involves two peoples hearts. wine

Personally I agree with both of you. It did end up badly for me, but during the time involved, we were content and totally honest about it, I today, wouldn't put myself in the situation, but if it works someone else go for it.

venusenvy: Ive know several couples that have gone this route with the "open marriage" thingy. From what I can see it always seems to end badly.


Exactly.

It's a great way to destroy a perfectly good relationship.

It is like to have everything and nothing. just impossible. you always have only something.
It could be possible but should have another name something else but for sure not marriage.

Electrifying: Hahaha U sound like my ex bf, want to hook up? U can say what u like anytime u want about me but the answer is still No. It would be double hell no to u but hey we r all intitled to our opinions even if some stink worse then other's. O and I am sure I would have bought the house anyway so of course I am gonna get it. I am gonna have an open cs relationship with u, just so I can compare penises and taunt u with it


Not interested, thanks.

kidatheart: It's precisely the narrow minded attitudes such as your's that have kept me from wanting a relationship of any sort beyond friendship.

The "if you can't own them, then destroy them" mentality is what's wrong, and should keep any person with a lick of common sense from ever getting married.

You're 34, and on a singles site, obviously you're last relationship didnt work out. Did you ruin his life for the sake of your own ego when you split?

Some people are such vile and disgusting creatures.
u think this is endearing?

Actually it was hers. We had revealed our intermost fantasies etc. over time. Then I was hit by a car and unable to walk for about a year and we had a few 3 somes with another woman, and it escalated for about 2 years

Lmao typical drama that I love to watch. My statement was jst a play on words about the house good god I own my house period. I paid for it with good ole American greenbacks. I seriously don't care who is sleeping with who as king as their not sleeping with me.. Stick to the poll and don't pull me into ur battles. I made a comment period and if I were a man I would have said the same I get the house u get the ground, but I was being kind lmao. Enough said with ur battles of wits and who owns who or what, I however own the words I said and I stand by it. Tadah I am woman hear me roar.... Meow

Electrifying: "I am 34 yrs old and find myself scratching my head at so many things people do and say who are twice my age..."


Because they are twice your age they have seen far more of the world and have a deeper understanding. You must go through much to see this, and you are still very young. Not everything is as rosy as we'd like it to be.
