Wow. Talk about thread creep.

It's kinda funny actually. Until I tried dating as an adult I never have it a lot of thought since more or less becoming a atheist as a child. Then as a young adult I was shocked by how big a deal it was for most women and the bizarre misconceptions. I feel just fine about it. To me it is...

And the fact that you felt it was "out of line" didn't poison your side of the relationship?

In my opinion this represents a great disparity in how each person deals with the opposite sex and temptation in general. For some, exes or former unreciprocated interests become great friends prior to meeting one's spouse to be. One in which acting out sexually becomes absurd. If such...

"Demand" could be setting as a condition to avoid a strained relationship. For example you probably "demand" fidelity. It is a given most likely, but if your spouse declined that request your relationship would be strained to say the least.

I didn't want to hijack another's thread so I made my own. Hypothetically, is it reasonable for a husband or wife to demand that their spouse terminates an existing friendship? What if the friend was an ex? What about one they previously had unreciprocated feelings for? For this thread we'll...

He is with you and chose you. To some extent this can come across as unfair. They were together before and depending on the nature of the breakup I don't see the issue with ex's being friends. He simply ended the romantic aspect of their relationship and pressuring him to terminate any...

For the body issues/stress I recommend the following. Keep in mind that there is no expectation of sex following this unless she initiates. Both of you stand in your bedroom when it is calm, quiet, and relaxing. Close the door, face each other and both of you take off your clothes. Explain...

Seems there are 2 or so questions. 1) are the benefits of marriage over other arraignments worth the complications and risks? 2) Does marriage itself add stress to an existing relationship?

Personally I see it simply as a continuation of a relationship into forever plus opening up the possibility of children. Unfortunately, it seems there are a number of risks and penalties that the civil side of marriage adds to the mix. So much so that I think it's a real consideration before...

Since we were old enough to reason and even into adulthood we have all been reprimanded in one way or another when we are caught breaking the rules. Do you believe reprimands drive people to cease committing the offending action or to work harder at concealing/evading?

I figure charities know what they are doing better than i. Family is often hands on. In that arena I've had spectacularly bad outcomes even though it's not my fault and I did the best I could.

I just have to say "yes" to 2 questions to deem myself successful. Was I happy? Did I help other people? So far the answer is yes to the first and mixed results on the second since a few attempts went well, the jury is out on a few, and some ended rather poorly.

I never understood how people get hit by trains. And having been on 2 trains that had a "trespassers strike" as they call them, I actually feel for the crew more than anyone. The process must be a tough one the first few times. The engineer witnesses the event in real time as he stops the...

Politics has become more and more polarizing over the last 2 decades. To some everything theopposition guy does muzzy be wrong or evil. This applies to all to Pres Trump and the last two presidents of not beyond. Only diff is that more people can't resist letting political leanings...

Who's standards do we use? Any one you choose will alienate someone because it is somewhat cultural. A more orthodox Christian version of manhood differs from a feminist vision of manhood differs from the ideal of varied ethnic communities.

Online dating merely increases your potential dating pool. Quite frankly, the real world doesn't provide as many opportunities to meet someone as you might think. Typically we are all on our ways somewhere with little to no time for such interactions or one finds themselves constantly in...

Merry Christmas leaves out sizable chunks of the populations in which we live. So ... Happy christmahanakwanzika.

For the life of me I don't get why these platforms or anyone makes a big deal over the use of certain phrases. This has bugged be since elementary school. Edit: fun fact. Disparaging a group or class is against Fb rules, but not always disparaging a specific person. "Men are scum" - bad "Bob...

No. That's what parents are for. Next question.
