So I saw Jason Taylor and Matt Roth last night..

That's the problem with people today all our time honored institutions and traditions that have value and hold familys together are crubling around us.
My take is if you want a open relationship why get married in the first place.
Now its your right to do so. But just like anything else don't expect everyone to celibrate your unconventional relationships. Your right to express yourself and mine are just as important. We have laws to protect the uncovnetional peoples actions. But the last time I checked No one can tell me what to think. I will not lower my standard of conduct just so I won't offend others who do. I will admit in this day in age my view of traditional marriage is becomming more antiquated. And for my part I think it's sad.

 

You poor guy, that was...beautiful...

 

How exactly is it a problem???

 

If they only knew.....

 

I would like to add, for the record, that I do not have an "open" marriage. I was just trying to make the point that not all women feel the need to control their husbands' every movement. Carry on.

 

I have an open marriage. Every night I open my wallet and it's empty, but I open the closet and see new shoes.

 

This isn't the time or place I guess to get into this because I will probably offend some. I am a Christian and hold tradional Christian values.
I don't want this to degenerate into a fight about Values. I could spend hours describing how the loss of moral values and tradition have wrecked our soceity. I respect your view but don't agree with it.

 

That's great. No one wants to be smothered.

 

Lucky man! Of all the times I've been to Swig, at least once per trip, no one is ever there. So jealous!

 

Some of the ladies have you guys by the nuts! Everybody needs a breather now and then, even from the fam and kids. I'm a night person, my SO is a day person. So she lets me go out at night if I want. I always invite her, of course, which shows I ain't hiding anything, and she says, "no go ahead and have fun with your friends."

Any other answer, would be uncivilized. Of course I don't every day, but maybe once a weekend I do.

 

Must be nice to be able to have that opportunity man

 

Yeah, havent you guys seen Swing Town???

 

Yeah, I'm still waiting to see JT here at my local club.

 

What if I told you JT's wife was out with all her friends on a girls night out. You dont think there would be 10 guys around them including you and me!? Fact is when you get good looking people the opposite (and sometimes the same) sex is attracted to them, so what! When guys try to talk to my wife or do a double takes I just smile, you know why? I must have done something right! Now, if JT trusts his wife and she trusts him then whats the big freaking deal. Jealously and insecurity wont let your wife out for a night of harmless fun in turn affecting your marriage unless youve trained the other into the type of thinking.

 

I knew what you meant. My husband, nor I, feel the need to control each other. We've been married for years. (38) The big thing is trust. And we trust each other. I guess we're one of the few who got lucky and found each other.

 

I remember seeing that same gaze in Monica's eyes from a news clip of her shaking Bills hand. Serious!

Jason, orta to be home with his family.

 

They don't flock to me like that, and Jason Taylor can't come close to matching the charisma I possess. Not to mention my good looks and physique.

 

well done Ron, exactly right..

 

On the other hand, Marty. I'm looking for any avenue of escape today. My Task Master has me hanging shelves for food storage.

She feels it in her bones we're due for a hurricane this season.

 

If it's ok for you fine. I wouldn't be involved with someone who hung around in bars anyway. If I want to party I'll invite my friends over for a barbque and some brews.
But I'm a little older now and don't feel the need to be out all hours of the night.
been there done that. I need to be a work in the morning to feed my family.
To each his own.

 

I smell a man crush.

 

I met the waterboy on my daughter's softball team once, does that count?

 

That's the way it is at my home too, Debby. We have 33 years invested in our "adventure". I wouldn't change a thing. It's been a very rewarding journey.

 

Cool stuff.

 

Never thought of it as an adventure, but you're right. It takes a lot of hard work and patience. You have to make sure you both have some personal space. I love going to minor league baseball games, he doesn't enjoy it, so he finds other stuff to do. I think he gets tired of hearing about the Dolphins and all the stuff on here, but he's super about it.
We used to go out and drink etc., but stopped a long time ago. IMO, that's when it can get dangerous for a couple. You know the old "courage in a bottle" thing. LOL
I wouldn't change a thing either.

 

Agreed debby, "old courage in a bottle" also tends to make a man feel "invisible" too. LOL. We gave it up in 1975.

 

Guess us baby boomers aren't as dumb as some try to say we are.

 

Most of us have given up the Pot, and turned Republican! Who would have EVER thunk it?

 

Well...I gave up the pot......

 

It's a process.

 

Maybe if I still smoked it would make it easier to believe that Republican bs.

 

I support Ricky Wil...wait....

*slowly backs away from thread*

 

Well...being 24 and living in NY (that bastion of republicanism) you get a pass.

 

haha thanks. I subscribe to the Robin Williams political theory:

"Politicians are like diapers, they should be changed often and for the same reason."

 

haha, in the second one it looks like hes talkin to Roth and saying, "this weird blond broad behind me is cracked out."
