You better hold that shit until after this wing is finished.
One time back in Vanilla our raid leader left his mic keyed when he went to take a piss. Dude must have had his computer practically in his bathroom because it was loud as hell on vent.

Regardless though, different people expect, want and are ok with different things in their relationships.

I'm not judging a_skeleton_03 for the state of his marriage. If it makes him and his wife happy, then power to them. This started with Tenks asking for a status update, I gave it. Maybe a few weeks from now, I'll come crying back here about disastrous results. Maybe I won't, and we'll still be happy. I've appreciated the words of wisdom from people though!

Onoes, jump back in an derail this with that epic you were promising!
Yeah yeah, I'm going to. I've been busy and the only time I seem to get on here is the middle of the night, and my lady is sleeping all of 5 feet away. Don't really want to wake her up when I no doubt type up a book.

Nothing super awesome or anything, just some things about the divorce I'm mulling over 3 years later.. debating making some legal changes. I should have time to type it all up at work tomorrow.

And Khane, I already posted that I'm a changed man, apparently butt stuff just took the right girl.

But yeah, Give me a dozen hours, I'll post a story. (p.s. Lindz, sounds to me like you guys are both on board and have thought this out. Have fun, love each other, do what makes you both happy.)

Both of the total 2 times I've had someone tell me they participated in wife sharing it ended in divorce shortly after (few years)

One I think was the chick eventually left the cuck for the stud and the other was the dude leaving the chick after it turned out he had huge insecurity issues afterward that he didn't anticipate

Good luck with that

Well, at least now its clear that a_skeleton_03 was being disingenuous when he claimed he was against gay marriage simply because of government interference and it had nothing to do with him being uncomfortable with the gays. Hell, even cuckolding as a fantasy is just too much for this guy. Religion poisons everything.

What in Hitchens holy name does any of this have to do with religion?

I am actually more pro cheating than I am this open marriage stuff. You won't find that in the Bible.

So you're more comfortable with someone fucking other people and lying about it, thus making their significant other into a fool, than you are with fucking other people but being honest about it and having it be mutually agreed upon?

God forgives all, so a_skeleton_03 doesn't care about people being terrible human beings.

Because you aren't actually being honest about it. If you don't want to stay monogamous then don't get married. People get married (99% of the time according to statistics) to be with one partner.

If you are truly being honest you will most likely just go straight to the divorce is my point because one of the people in that couple is most likely making some kind of sacrifice and not really okay with it. They might see that as their only option. There are all kinds of justifications.

Look at the psychology of abusive relationships and "battered wife syndrome". People will justify damn near anything to maintain a relationship, mothers sometimes murder children to be with a specific man.

Just because you announce it and talk about it doesn't mean that person is really on board. It isn't just about sex or you would just have more sex with your current partner.

What if it gets someone off to cheat? Who are you to hold them back? Why does your version of marriage pigeon hole them into a relationship demanding fidelity? Well not always fidelity, if you announce it ahead of time and talk about it for a bit then you can do what you want as long as the other person says yes regardless of how hurt they are that you even broached the subject that you might not be good enough for them. That is "communication" though so it's fine.

a_skeleton_03 you're reasoning from the stance that nobody would accept this, and if they do they're probably being dishonest.

Here's a tip: it's better to be honest and blow up the relationship than to be dishonest and stay in it. On both sides of that coin. If you're hiding your dark desire to do X Y or Z, what kind of marriage is it where you can't tell your wife? She should accept you and your flaws, or not. But it should be out there. By the same token, if you (or she) reveals something and you're totally not ok with it ever, honesty about that is good too.

Whats the theme here? honesty.

Not hiding X-boxes and vicodins to give to whores behind your wife's back or stealing pictures of your sister in law nude while claiming you know what marriage is.

What is terrible about fulfilling your sexual NEEDS? You can't control it is what we tell our teenagers. If she/he never knows is there really a problem?

Ahh yes. Easier to ask forgiveness than beg for permission.
So if there is begging wouldn't that signal to you that it probably isn't wanted from the other side and that there is a copious amount of emotional blackmail going on? Yeah that is healthy for a relationship.
