| 16. It's definitely not for me. I'm a one-man woman, and I want a |
|
one-woman man. I don't make judgments on people who life a different lifestyle than me. I think that if an open marriage/relationship, or three-way, or whatever, is what makes a person happy, and the others involved are happy too, who am I to judge. I wouldn't want to be judged for some of the things I like (though I know there are plenty of people out there just chomping at the bit to jump on the judgment bandwagon, and put down anyone and everyone who doesn't live life the "right way" as defined by them).
Now, as far as being open to one's partner in terms of likes, dislikes, heck, communicating about everything, well, that kind of openness I'm all for. In my experience, one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, destroyers of marriages/relationships is bad or little communication. My husband and I had a discussion the other day about something that I wish to hell we had discussed as openly and honestly as we just did. I doubt I would have married him, though he's a great guy. Live and learn, huh?
BTW, I'm 50, as you've been asking people how old they are.
Very interesting topic, Radio-Lady. Is this going to be a topic on your show on Saturday?
