That's great and I'm really happy for the both of you.I agree with regard to "the upper hand" stuff. I shouldn't have let all these haters influence how I talk about my own relationship. I think our relationship is healthy because we treat each other as equals, we respect each other, and we care about each other's feelings. It is in no way a power struggle.I never mentioned "how it happened." I don't care how it happened. When she tells you you're free to have sex with other women, you don't have the upper hand.Nor, I should add, should any reasonable human being want to have "the upper hand" in a romantic relationship.Eh, that's not exactly how it happened. I proposed possibly being non-exclusive for a while since I didn't have much of an opportunity to be single post-divorce, and she definitely did not want that to occur. I think she was just trying to come up with a solution to keep the possibility of adventurous random sex open while keeping me committed to her. Who knows if anything will ever actually happen with that, but I thought it was cool that she would put it on the table and shows the lengths she will go to satisfy my desires. If there is one thing I am certain of, it is that she wants to be with me for the long run. Her love and commitment to me has never been in doubt. I think that was confirmed when she agreed with all of my positions in our recent conversation about her ex. She is definitely not willing to lose me over her irrelevant ex.I'm trying to be the voice of reason in this thread, but let me make this perfectly clear: when a woman tells you you're free to have sex with other women, you don't have the upper hand.Buckfast 1 said:Did you guys miss the part where she told me that I could have sex with other girls and/or threesomes when I told her that I had concerns that I hadn't been single for long enough after my divorce? I've got so much hand I'm coming out of my glove.xulf said:Gr00vus said:The girlfriend is alphaing both your asses. And it's not even close.![]()
So, when can I pick up the key? Laundry piles are like three feet deep in this bachelor pad. I'll probably be around all weekend doing this #### but don't mind me, alright?
