It's nice of the consideration and interest to invite you, though it sounds from your description that she likely feels some insecurity too. Given time and more familiarity, I'd assume that would become less of an issue. I'd also agree that it's best if people are in a relationship because...

I wanted to thank you again, VernalBliss for sharing with us (ok me!) your story and emotions. It's nice to "see" things from your perspective and you put a smile on my face for certain and helped give me a better picture of what I'm looking for also :) There have been opportunities for me to...

Hi, Welcome to the forum. I had something very much like your experience happen to me and it was one of the best things in my life. I'm married and have a nice wife, though we had some rough periods and during one of these there was a woman in Texas I'd begun spending a lot of time with...

It sounds like you're a good lady and loving wife, JLynn but emotional/internal conflicts make the situation difficult .... though maybe you feel threatened in your relationship with your husband by the other woman for some legitimate reason(s)? I took my wife to meet a lady I'd met on-line and...

I've been married for 19 years and though I love and get along fine with my wife in most ways have felt cramped, uncomfortable and even depressed to an extent trying to fit into the mono stereotype ... it got to the point where it was almost a continual ache to find some outside femanine company...

Hiya, SileRuric. Welcome to the forum. I usually have the opposite problem and ramble on and on about all sorts of tangents ... but short and sweet works fine also. (FYI, I'm rather new here too) In any case, have fun (if you're not having fun, you might be doing it wrong! :D)

Most political discussions end up raising my blood pressure :D Especially when I'm talking with someone with stereotypical left or right views.

Welcome to the forum. I was hanging out on a physics website for a long time and stuck in many ways. There were just things that appeared impossible to fit into logic - inherent paradoxes in experience that defied precise description. I spent a lot of time arguing with people who were well...

Thanks for posting your experiences EywaUK. I think that's how things more naturally work. Cultural stereotypes try to force it into something it was not necessarily meant to be and a lot of beautiful moments/relationships are lost like that.

I'm similar with political issues ... it's like a minefield to most people :D and I know that most of the time I don't really have gripes with anyone specifically but more of the typical cultural mindset (and how frustrating it can be for people to see outside the box). Most the time I just try...

I think we likely disagree on little, YGirl, and no it wouldn't be likely I'd do that dinner :), and especially in front of a guest. On the other hand, it's quite likely that I might ask my wife if we had company over for dinner and in some cases I might even emphasize that situation was at...

Thanks again for the welcomes and reply (Awesome to see an FSPer here, Porcupine! Congrats on making the move too!) Hi there, YGirl I can understand what you're saying and if I was never married and didn't have a 19 year relationship with my wife, then things would be different, but I do have...

Hi, Hoseki. I can't say I've been in your situation, though I've sort of been on the other side of it. A couple comments: 1) I tend to agree that a legal marriage isn't really necessary (unless maybe you want to have children and desire something more legal/official involved). 2) If he...

Hiya Pearl (and Cosmicgirl), I'm new to this forum as well and wanted to just give a welcome. I do understand a bit of how the two of you likely feel. My wife loves me and has little interest in having anyone else in our relationship, but I've had a couple (primarily platonic) "girlfriends"...

Thank you, both A couple things that occurred to me over time that are a bit unrealistic for a typical marriage are: 1) It's really expecting a lot of a partner to be able to support most of ones interests in a relationship (i.e. me and my wife work well together in terms of the home and...

Way to go! Congratulations on making the move ... I've still been wanting to move out of California and New Hampshire is still a tempting destination :) I used to post there as SteveA and had thousands of posts ... I remembered Googling "SteveA" and seeing my profile page on FSP was second on...

Hi there, Gemini. I'm new to the forum (and a west coaster) also. Welcome

I think I recognize that avatar ... The Free State Project? I noticed you have a New England group subscribed ... it's got be FSP! Am I right? :) I was there when they had the voting was probably one of the top 10 posters on the site for a while too. Anyway, I just had to ask because I was...

Hi all, It's nice to see this forum. I've always considered myself to quite monogamous as I tend to fall fast, hard and heavy in love and become very emotionally involved with someone. I've been married for 19 years to a very sweet woman and though we've had some rough years (she had problems...
