@wph1138 And there aren't slutty straight people? Is that what you mean? Because I have heard of and met plenty of them. And the first guy that accidentally gets one of them pregnant marries them out of doing the right thing. That has been going on for decades. Most lesbians want a long term monogamous relationship not a one night stand. And a lot of gay guys want that too, they want a family. So don't lump us into a stereotype.

@wph1138 From what I read in your previous comment you said "This is why I hate the gay world. It's so cheap and seedy and it makes real love sound worthless" A lot of younger people in general it doesn't matter what sexual orientation make mistakes and then they are mature later and realize that is not how you treat people that you love. Not just gay people, all people.

@tshorse First of all: you misspelled 'gorgeous'.

Second: obviously, an open-relationship wouldn't work for you. You're too jealous and possessive. But, you're not everyone. Some people are totally fine with their partner going outside of the relationship, as long as they stick within certain parameters.

Also, please leave 'God' out of this. You'd be surprised how many religious people are actually the 'deviant' ones (however, to the rest of us, there isn't anything 'deviant' about it).

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! i agree so much with this, not everybody is meant to be in a monogamous relationship, or be in relationships period. everybody, gay straight bi, all must make up their own boundries. i'm cool with my dude, or lady;), looking at nude women/men as long as they don't touch. they can have crushes on people and if a certain sexual thing that would never happen in a milllion years happens(sex with a victoria secret model) i will turn a blind eye!

a good excuse for not being bonded in a good married relationship. these people have no scrupples and just want sex and more excitement. you always hurt somebody when you go out of the marriage. no, i could not even think of my georgeouse wife boning some dork and him disrupting the family and texting sweet nothing and making out with her and being a "friend" and always calling to make sure she is still avathingtil in his black book. these people usually dont believe in God so anything goes

I want to hug this man, buy him coffee and thank him for this level of intellectual bullshit destruction. I'm a straight man with a girlfriend.

I think lying and secrets is the best advice to a married couple!
