^That's me. Every time. My friends all the way back to Jr. High gave me crap about it. By my Sophomore year in High School, they had a name for it - Theresa Cox Syndrome. Theresa was one of the most sought after girls in school, and I made it all the way to Homecoming without a clue that she...

Wow - touchy much? I have lived all over the country. I have lived in areas where non-believers are ACTUALLY actively ostracized and even persecuted to some extent. I have experienced this from both sides of the coin. Try reading my last post again, this time without your victim glasses on.

I'm the densest man on earth, and you've got me beat. To say the signs are all there doesn't cover it - you've already passed Go. The only thing missing is a formal "date" - which frankly isn't necessarily required in this instance. Send her a text asking when she's available for dinner...

Interesting discussion. I, too, am a disaffected Mormon. I am decidedly *not*, however, an atheist. I personally find it amusing when atheists act all put-upon and say they're persecuted to some extent; that you have to be Christian in today's America, etc. It's laughable. I don't mean that...

Cuninglingwist, OUCH! DUDE, punctuation. Learn it, use it. I tried to read that "paragraph" three times and couldn't make it through once. I thought this thread would stay dead and buried, and that the topic was something the community in general had outgrown. Interesting that this thread...

I propose a little exercise. Just for fucking shits & giggles. I wonder if ya'll can manage it. Let's imagine - and I realize that this is WAAAY out there for most of you, that I am NOT, in fact, an ignorant, narcissistic, womanizing asshole who lacks any self awareness or comprehension of...

I have never claimed there was nothing wrong with me, or that I am free of blame. Ever. I am still waiting, however, for the day that somebody on these boards doesn't immediately respond with something to the effect that I'm the problem and a terrible person on general or some similar vein...

NYC - if everyone gets this so clearly, why are so many comments made that show otherwise? @ all the other replies - I didn't come here to rail against poly; in fact, I was here and all for it before most of you were. I posted a thread in which I said that after the latest failure, the one...

L'dMAO at damn near all of this; 'nuf said. I will comment on the last bit though. I have been who I am for a relatively short period of time. I spent a LOT of time becoming who I am, and paying attention to being the kind of person I want to be. For you to ASS U ME that you know ANYTHING AT...

We've come to similar conclusions re her wanting out, etc - what we don't get is the literally dozens of times we've tried to ask her just that, very directly. The dozens of times we've offered MANY things, many kinds of support, many options, and stated that we'll love her and work with her...

NYC - thank you for not getting overly upset by my post, in re-reading it there was plenty of room for it. For instance, I wasn't calling you an ass, I was playing up a favorite issue with the word (Assume makes an ass out of u and me). It certainly could have been read that way though...

Zylyla - Get over it? Of course. That's what we all have to do eventually, with every petty thing that happens every day. If that's how you want to be about it, than every response to every thread on these boards that's about someone's problems should be "get over it". It's the only REAL...

AnnabelMore, I missed your earlier response. We've been BDSM for almost 3 years, 24/7 for over a year, and the time in between was spent very carefully making those agreements and finding each other's limits. I'm familiar with the process, lol. Violet's preferences, never mind limits, are...

NYC - in a thread that got a little heated later on, a "well respected" member here essentially accused me of being a womanizer living out a harem fantasy. The admins decided to delete that and many other VERY insulting and inflammatory comments directed at me when I came here looking for...

NYC - please don't use the 'harem' reference; after what happened in one of our old threads it's flat out offensive. I'm still more than slightly pissed about how the admins handled all that as well; especially deleting other member's inflammatory posts & leaving my (sometimes our) replies...

We've been working on healing from Adrian's violent departure in March, Violet, Lana, and I - and it's been difficult. Lana basically shut down completely. Would spend days on end in her room, wouldn't talk to us, no matter what we asked it was always "I'm fine, nothing's wrong" - no matter...

It is entirely possible that both points are true. I don't necessarily think it's healthy, but I've seen BDSM relationships work because one party was flat out abusive - and the other party liked it enough that it didn't matter. In an instance like this, the narcisist/codependant dynamic can...

That is a rare quality, and this board is far from immune to destroying it; it's been smudged that way for quite some time. Always nice when that happens. It's a shame that it's often so hit or miss.

Let it die? I did. I'm not dredging anbything up - that was a deliberate act based on - what? What purpose could that possibly serve - other than to cover up the attrocious behavior of several of the more popular members, mods, and even admins? They erased EVERYONES posts - anyone reading...
