Haha... or theists to atheists? At least athiests don't knock on your door... although it would be fun to swap out the bible in hotel rooms with a copy of "On the Origin of Species." ;) True, but they can also be more educated and not know something I do. It's kind of a moot point now, but...

I do... Except I'm not. I thought we could be together until she leaves the city, which is what she claimed she wanted too in lieu of a permanent relationship. I get that things have changed for her, the biological clock is ticking louder... but then she needs to let go. I've tried...

Haha... I should be so lucky. Instead she's been spending time with me, and acting loving right up until things turn sexual.

I've also been worrying that she was trying to force me to marry her. Withholding sex for months, spending all her time with me, telling me she can only have sex in terms of a permanent relationship. Here's the scary part, I kind of fell for it. We had a fight (over text message) on Friday...

Maybe. If she's even heard of it. You're not her. She does tend to read things people give to her. Although she's never read anything I've given her for some reason. (Not other books like this, just anything.) Yes. Actually, I'd read it to prove that it won't "open my mind"... but I'd...

If adjectives don't make a difference, why do we have them? Do you think no one ever acts differently than they profess? There are women out there who think open relationships are disgusting, but only sleep with married men! Wouldn't it suck to break up, run into her 5 years from now and find...

I'm not locking her in a room and blasting stuff through speakers. I'm handing her a book, to read or even not read as she chooses.

Technically, by "move on" I meant leave this city for a different one. I guess I worded that badly. So you think it's monogamous behavior to truthfully tell someone you love them while you're dating other people? YouAreHere If she's done, though, why is she holding on? The struggle for me...

That was kind of a joke dude... lighten up. Ok look, I'm never going to agree that presenting someone with new information is manipulating them, tricking them or anything else. It isn't. I'm presenting some information and letting her make a decision based on it. I might hope it's the...

I'm confused that she's telling me should could never have an open relationship, yet she's dating while she tells me she loves me. We have serious communication issues, but she has told me she could never have an open relationship. Yet, I feel like right now she considers herself my...

reformalion eprefus Trick her? How is giving someone a book tricking them? Guess I need to go have a few discussions with my schoolteachers! ;) Anyway, something interesting came up over the weekend. Created a different thread though since this one is pretty much hosed...

I'll try to keep this short... basically I realized I was poly a couple years ago. My girlfriend, my first real girlfriend ever, was not happy about that development. We stayed together monogamously anyway, because she was in a bad place in her life and I still loved her and figured the rest...

Yeah, lots of people declare their love for Jason and Freddy Krueger. Right? There's a difference between enjoying a character and saying you have a crush on him, isn't there?

Long story short, it came up two years ago... she said it was a dealbreaker but we stayed together because neither of us were ready to break up. We had a fight a couple months ago, and we've been estranged since but we live together so we go back and forth between trying to put distance between...

Lots of things... talking about sex, talking about open relationships. Probably should have given less information in my initial post... really just want to see what people thought of the book. I read one bad review, but also a couple good reviews...

ntsrebs congress I didn't see any rockets... now I want rockets! :P

Sigh... I'm not getting any answers to my question in this thread, am I? :(

Why? How could it have been better? Not speaking for the original author... but I'd wager most of us have a painfully limited idea about what autism is like. Basically, 90% of my knowledge of the subject is from Boston Legal, and the other 10% is from my girlfriend who may have some autistic...

Why do the studies make you feel worse? Do you agree with them? Or do you disagree with them? No one can force you to do anything. If you go into a relationship style, you chose to do that. You can always choose not to. The important thing is to make your choice.

Err.. what's wrong with "other cultures do it." It pretty clearly points out how much power society has over a persons beliefs and behavior. That said: Incest? Really? I vaguely remember from my anthropology class that incest was one of the few universal taboos we know about. Universal...
