🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 I'm not married. Ya'll know this. But, gotta ask. If you tell a wife "do this, but don't tell your husband." Or, flip it, "don't tell your wife."

[TerryP]

How does this make a successful marriage?

 

[Rsedge72]

Rotten people!!!!

 

[Krimson]

It doesn't, would tell them we don't hide things from each other.

 

[TerryP]

So balance these thoughts with election ads...

Don't marry politicians, you can't trust any of them

That ad turned off more than it turned on.

Should've, inferred that women can't stand up for their own opinion.

I have never even used one of those voting dividers. Last Tuesday my wife and I sat in front of each other and voted. I even put my wife voting sheet into the machine to vote. One more thing the voter workers are related to me.

Hilarious how out of touch they are. Their Low T’s
For Harris ad was remarkable as well. Can’t wait to see what they come up with in 2026.

Wth. Wonder how much of her billion dollar campaign budget went to that trash.

The stuff coming out about how much they had to pay for some of the interviews, Oprah for instance, is funny... It's also quite telling, on a few levels.

Yes it is.

Nope.

This is why I am dogmatically opposed to close opposite-sex friendships when you're in a committed relationship. They're not especially healthy even when you're single, either. But, HARD NO in a relationship.

Why?

Biology.

We're wired at our most basic, primal level to mate. The closer you get to a "friend" of the opposite sex, the more your biology subconsciously starts clouding your inhibitions.

Girls will say "but you're wrong, I've had a Ton of close guy friends, and I never had those feelings".

Yeah, but there's about a 85-90% chance that 8 out your 10 "close guy friends" fapped while daydreaming if you at some point. Furthermore, the girls that defend this are insecure with daddy AND commitment issues that like all the attention of what a mate SHOULD be providing, minus the relationhip label and the sex.

Platonic arms-length acquaintances are one thing. Close friendships where you're texting/talking daily and sharing secrets? Having exclusive "work lunches" with them? That's dangerous for ANYBODY in any kind of committed relationship.

/soap box.

I somewhat agree with you. Let me throw this one back at you. Would you trust me, alone, with your "significant other?" All the while knowing how I respect the sanctity of marriage? Or, a relationship?

My friends do.

Example: I was asked to help a friends wife recently, a pastors' wife of all people, on a Fossil ™ display. A lady remarked that she thought we were a happily married couple; in front of him. He laughed...just said, "that's who they are."

Ask @It Takes Eleven I goof off with everybody ... no intentions at all. Well, maybe a laugh.

Darren, I believe I can honestly say I don't look at gender any more than I do skin color.

NOW, that being said. IF she's single...I might be a whore dog on any given night.

I make sure I'm never alone with a female out of respect for my wife and, if she's married, her husband. It's not that I would cheat it's there's no chance of the perception. So it's really not about trust to me it's more about is it a good idea. I don't know you to trust you but I trust my wife and I wouldn't want her alone with you or any other man. Avoiding situations that could put you in a bad predicament keeps folks out of a lot of trouble.

I get this. But I don't buy it.

Avoiding perception. The people that know me don't have a perception: they know who I am. And, if they don't? Fuck 'em.

Let me leave you with an analogy. My mother has NEVER been in a movie theatre. Her reasoning? "What if someone thought I was going to ___ movie which is R rated?" My question? Why would they think that if they know you?

I have seen the "scorn" from people in situations like this. I tend to dismiss them from my life. IF you can't trust me with your wife, and her well being, how can you trust me at all?

 

[TerryP]

Talk about coincidence.

 

[Rsedge72]

Oh he’s playing the slow game!!! He’s in “love” and she’s playing that poor guy!!!

I make no assumptions. Enough men are dogs, and enough women are dogs, such that you must guard yourself and your wife from ever getting in a tight spot. The world is rare with Josephs (and Josephines) and crawling with Potiphar's wives. I've found myself in enough spots with a woman clearly looking to sleep - or sue - themselves up the ladder. Or others looking to exploit - sexually - being in a position of power. And then others looking for a good time, thinking you're as depraved as they are. In each case, the answer is to remove yourself from the situation, even if fleeing means leaving behind a really nice cloak.
