I didn't see my childhood sweetheart till 10 years later, when she was married.

I don't see open relationships as healthy

no, open relationships are cancer

Open Relationships isn't healthy.

We've been monogamous ever since 1989

what is the point?

i dont see open relationships as relationships

It is cancer.

they are just fuck buddies with a nicer name

if you just fuck around, might as well just call it friends with benefits

You loose any feelings for each other and not caring for each other.

Yeah, I have no use for fuck buddies.

I am over it.

i dont have any problems with it, i just hate everyone trying to church everything up as of late to make themselves feel better lol

I want to get married, have a family now.

T_T

Good for you

Well, I would like to have a home with a stable community.

But with the current dating environment... I am scared of trying.

Before kids, do whatever. Once kids happen, provide the stable foundation.

Not just partner, also friends and neighborhood.

But everything is so transient now

ya thats where i am dusty, i wont lie

False accusations, people being crazy...

i feel like i am the next metoo waiting to happen

All it takes is a bad date...

Aww @Dusty Morgan yours just a hopeless romantic 😊 😇

No sexual things involved.

Yeah, false allegations and laws are a big part.

I want to say that if you're a gentleman you'll be fine

Unfortunately, I can't

And you will be attacked.

I am not saying how many people are psychos, but the psychos that are around have a VERY easy time exploiting laws.

More than anything, this topic tears me up

My mother raised me to be a gentleman.

I think 2 or 3 of my friends were falsely accused now.

My foster brother who I love dearly spent six months in jail due to a bullshit charge

But many of the gentleman things now are considered harassment.

And it happens in divorce a lot. Allegations of child molestation, no matter how nasty to lie about it, are common.

My nephew was bullied into giving up parental rights my the Wicked Witch of the West

ya thats our problem, we should have listen to our dads that tought us to be assholes instead lol
