Hmmm... $300.00 and several hours labor for 1/2 the access to my closet. Hmmm...

I have sliding doors on my current closet and I hate them. I would gladly take bi fold doors in a heartbeat.

Eh. I’m probably guilty of a lot of these to someone at some point:

I don’t know if anyone is going to read this...But this article was incredibly helpful.

I do, it’s kept me from smoking cigarettes for the last three years. And I can reduce the amount of nicotine any time I like. I also find that I can go without for longer periods of time then when I was using tobacco. So for me it is a godsend because I was very much hooked on tobacco.

I always hoped that I was smarter than Ann Coulter but now I have proof. I’m in a hotel room. First thing I did after kicking off my shoes (and eating the macademia nuts)? Checked that the alarm was off.

WHAT???

it’s okay, grandma.

That’s totally one sided though. This person wants to have sex outside the marriage but loves their spouse and doesn’t want their marriage to end? that’s all fine for them to feel.

So then they should get divorced before they start sleeping with someone else. Pretty simple. If two people married with an agreement for monogamy and one wants to brake that - regardless of all the emotional reasons that may justify it- then the person who wants to participate in relationships outside the marriage…

You left an option out - talking to your partner about it. A person in a relationship doesn’t get to unilaterally change the conformation of the relationship. You talk to your partner and work something out. Yes, it may work out that ending the relationship is the best option, but one partner doesn’t get to…

Yeah, I can see why as well, but my ability to empathize really doesn’t mean I condone the behavior.
Being in any healthy relationship - open, closed, poly, monogamous, whatevs - means having mutuality. That means asking and getting enthusiastic consent for all manner of sexuality choices - from “Do you want to have…

You tell them you want to have an affair BEFORE you do it, not after. That's fair. Then your partner can decide if they want to open the relationship with you or break up.

But then you are just trying to avoid the inevitable and adding betrayal on top. If you are that detached from your partner, then you need to end it like adults. Running from a “difficult conversation” is very unfair to the person you are married to.

This is a very problematic topic. For example, if you have two people who both agree that they will marry but will be comfortable with some straying within some specific parameters, then hey! Go for it! I do believe that traditional marriage isn’t necessarily a one-size-fits-all thing.

I resist this notion because we had this challenge as governor, stuff happens, there’s always a crisis and the impulse is always to do something and it’s not necessarily the right thing to do.

I NEVER THOUGHT PAYING IT FORWARD PIZZA WOULD MAKE ME CRY SAD TEARS BUT HERE I AM, CRYING. OVER PIZZA GENEROSITY, THE KINDEST GENEROSITY OF ALL.

I don’t know what this says about me, but I’m ok with this.
