Lunabunny, I think that sounds about right, I know she doesn't want to wait forever but it's what I told her. I don't care if she goes out looking or not, I just care that if the opportunity avails itself that she not be closed to just because of me. Thanks for the talk and I'm sure we'll be...

Lunabunny, While I understand your question/observation I would have to disagree in this instance. Sure I would like companionship, but I while I want certain things, I would never jeopardize my relationship with her for such a want. I might be open minded to certain relationships, but I won't...

MeeraReed, I've known for a while I was bi, never really had any call to explore though as my partners have both been women and while I'm open to the possibility of additional loves in one's life I refuse to "stray" if it would mean breaking my partners heart. I can deal with wanting or having...

Kevin, All valid questions. The child thing is something we've talked about since we've known each other. I had a vasectomy because of my desire to stop at one. After meeting my current wife I do regret that a very little bit, but only in that she wants a child so badly. She says, and I believe...

So, I was chatting with my wife who is currently across an ocean due to work issues, nm the whole visa pains lol. Anyway, so we were chatting and talking about life and the visit from her parents and the whole discussion about another partner was brought up just as one of those reminders that I...

About 1/3 of the way through and I lost interest in the Protennoia. I have fried my brain on computers at work far too much lately to decipher a writing I already have issues with as I'm confused why we as humans have to accept God as no less that three beings and call them one. God is something...

Mags, In my school I learned a great many things from my own pov as well as that of the Baptist uni I attended and the various students with whom I was fortunate enough to hear different perspectives. I also learned much of the different Christian perspectives through my few years up to uni and...

On your first thought, I think that many religions mis-construe this point. God doesn't send us anywhere. It's like the tree, he placed the tree in the garden and said don't eat but we had the free-will to do so. Not because he's toying with us or tempting us. He understands that unless there...

I think I could understand that. I think I would be fine managing multiple relationships, and sharing, but I see a family as cohesive and anyone who came into our's as an integral member would have to be someone she cared for more than myself. My wife is very selective, partially from her past...

I will accept your point of view as your own opinion on that particular collection of writings.

Mags, I feel like i have to apologize a bit. I just feel I was a bit short in my last. I just get very defensive when someone challenges how I treat, feel and love my wife. Yes I'm open to a relationship with another but I won't ever jeopardize mine with her and if that means I'm only with her...

I will say that any addition to our family would have to be very special and I mean addition in the same sense as she was added into my life and I am so much the better off for it. If she isn't open to it then honestly I'm fine with and respect her decision. I simply wanted her to know my view...

Mags, First I have to correct you on a few things. Respectful,you'll probably find very few as respectful as I am, especially toward my wife. Yes I get that adding a third seems like a blunt was to put it, but that's what it would be regardless of the love involved. My Israel for another...

Endusal, I appreciate the insight. Yeah I opened up recently to my other half a bit, I guess you could say, we always discuss, or chat about stuff, especially when I'm away and this aspect of me is something that I just wanted to be sure she understood is something I have come to accept, and...

Nope, you are correct, was military for 11 years before I was put out to pasture, for the best of all I think, and now I'm getting adjusted back into the civilian life, simply wishing I was where I belong right now, with my other half. As for if she seeks anything out, I will certainly mention...

Couldn't agree more. You give a people free-will and there will always be those who abuse the gift. I wish that I could say we were either at level, or upward bound right now but I honestly believe as you said, overall we are on a downward trend. All we can do is the best at doing our part. --D

Kevin, I certainly won't press her to change in any way, I have always felt that as partners in a relationship, change is inevitable, but it must be something that occurs naturally and of your own desire. If she only ever wishes to be with me then I will be happy in her choice and we will live...

Kevin, I agree, I think that we need to focus more on the difference between what is good and not and live for creating a better world for us all and those to come. I do wish that we could see a big swing in thinking in our lifetimes but I also feel that we may only see a snippet, and even then...

Mags, all great questions and I probably should have expounded on a few things. We live apart only because I was stationed overseas when we met and when I retired from the services it pulled me back to the states and so although we are married, until I can find a job back over there, or one...

I personally hate labels of any kind. I have seen them turned into excuses and weapons on far too many occasions and it's one reason why my spiritual title went from Mennonite, to Christian, to a believer of...well it makes sense if you read the thread I wrote in spirituality on disliking...
