Never marry an American woman.

[Oberon]

Someone's bored tonight, shouldn't you Americans be in bed by now so the quieter European shift can start?

I feel sorry for Jim having to clear all this up every morning.

Not polygamy - as that just compounds the whole marriage problem along with being illegal.

Poly-amour on the other hand is not illegal. It takes a certain.... attitude (Think D/s) and willingness to be honest when its not comfortable to make happen successfully. It isn't a lifestyle that is for anyone to be sure. Still - it has its rewards (way beyond multiple intimate partners).

18 years married, through good and bad. Never cheated, nor have I ever had any desire to do so.

This one ever fails, that's it for women, I'll seek a relationship with Steve. Maybe with a lil lipstick and lace, I can
get through it, plus we have a lot in common.

I will always bless the day my knight in shining armor appeared and rode off with my first wife.

Especially for the second sentence you wrote - this has become quite a seldom virtue. In my lucky 13th year myself - though not married.

Well, if you and Steve want to tie the knot, I'm allowed to perform marriages in most US states - just drop me a message and give me some days to get a Kaleun's uniform to be dressed appropriately, no lipstick and lace for me, thanks.

My wife and I have enough trust that jealously was never an issue. We both know they're many beautiful people in the world, people look and think and have their inner fantasies. We never beat each up over that, more embraced it, makes for a great love life

With Steve, lipstick and lace would be a must.....have you seen his face? Maybe if I squinted my eyes, so he was a blur, I could say "I do". The main thing is, I know Steve wouldn't bitch if I left my towel on the floor or demand I come make love during the middle of a convoy attack...

Our success formula is maybe that we both had our fair share of experiences before, so we don't feel the need to look for little adventures anymore - can't say that I have been too faithfull in my previous relationships.

Oh I'm ok with what you wear when marrying Steve, I'd also suggest some bleach as your eye makeup. - just let your poor chaplainwear what he wants.

Well, if Steve and I ever do tie the knot, you know what wedding gift to bring.

Main thing is I hate hair on my women, I mean Steve. First thing I would have to do is a lil hair removal. I hope Steve doesn't have a husky voice..

Geesh, we have to stop this, I feel a tad excited....

[Wolferz]

It's time to have a portrait of yourself tattooed on your back Steve.

That way, Armistead will be forced to look into your eyes.

I hope you two find great happiness. Or in the French accent vernacular...
Hapenis.


This train has derailed sumthin fierce!

On the subject of whores, when i was in the military as a younger fellow, I had this old NCO impart upon me this pearl of wisdom. Its sexist as hell, but you have to get past that to see the wisdom in it.

He said,

"There is no such thing as free *ussy. All women are whore's, it's just the price that is negotiable".

His words, not mine. All i'm saying is over the years I found it to be true. Some women you have to wine and dine, others want jewelry and marriage, regardless of what they want, all of it costs money.

Why yes, i have told my wife this. She thought it was funny. One of the reasons I married her, our running joke is "We were separated at birth". Why no, i would never cheat on my wife. I learned enough in my early 20's to know that it's not worth it, and a guilty conscious would eat me alive. If poontang is all a guy wants, just go get a prostitute, its cheaper in the long run if you don't do anything..... stupid. Personally I 'd rather have a life long companion , partner and best friend, to grow old and grey with. That's far more valuable to me then bearded clam.

With certain women, it is true, sure was true with my first wife. However, all women aren't whores and put as much effort and money into the relationship as the man, often more.

Certainly there is a culture where beautiful women trade looks and sex for money and the good life. Just go to any rich country club and look at all the beautiful women with ugly old men that they don't love. Course, most these men aren't stupid, they know they're paying for it and fine with it, just another toy to show off.

I think this marriage thing comes down to personal belief systems. There could be a hell of an argument over this...so I'm going to stay out of specifics.

In my belief system, you marry the one you love. You don't marry only to divorce a year later.

You marry the one you're sure about.

There's the nutshell and there's the contents.

Absolutely.

Nothing wrong with that if it works for you. However, it assumes you can/will only love one person. What if you love more than one person?

Or even so - more than one person at a time?

For many, this goes to a religious question, others a moral one in which their beliefs are founded on how they were raised. Still, if your not breaking the law, everyone involved is knowledgeable and willing to accept the situation (however it occurs) - why should it not happen?

You marry the one you're sure about.

Nothing in life is guaranteed.

I suspect your fairly young yet, so let me pass on one very important piece of advice.....

Always meet the mother of any woman your serious about fairly early. Because as she grows older - she is going to turn into her mother, so you better really like her mom so you know you will still like the girl in 20 years or so...

There we go. Somebody else mentioned religion. I didn't want to be the one to drop that bomb.

Religion is really the deciding factor I think. There are also some other deciding factors like how you were raised, how your parents and family acted, etc.

If you're belief system says that you should love one person and if you stick to that belief system, you can at least try your best.

In the end, it's just morals and beliefs.

Nothing in life is guaranteed.

I'm still young...yes....and that thought has already crossed my mind. I have time though....being only in High School. I have time before I have to worry about any of this.

Not too worried about my girl problems at this point in time anyway. Too busy.

I think if society is going to entertain gay marriage we have to allow any and all types of marriages to exist as well. Can't stop there. There's always got to be some new challenge. And if the people don't create one the government surely will to keep themselves relevant. It just never ends.
