  open marriages, anyone have experience?

  by Pierced Angel in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  well, my husband found out about my affair (yes, i gave in to the temptation with the soccer player and while it was fantastic, it's over now) and it's been a devestating time, we almost got divorced, but we're working through it.

  i knew telling friends and this board wasn't going to help me fight his romantic advances, but i tried.

  it was a one time thing that would have continued, but i wasn't too careful about the clues (guilty conscience i think).

  One,

  When you say "with few exceptions" what do you mean? You have personally known more than a few open marriages?

  To: Borgfree / Elder Culpability

  hi borgfree: on freefallins post you noted the following, i know there are some serving as elders etc.

  who may be decent people apart from the wt.

  however, the people they hurt by enforcing the wt doctrines are just as hurt as if done by an unloving elder.

  Hey Hyde,

  I'd have to respectfully disagree with you that remaining in that organization announces to onlookers that the Elder unequivocally supports that standard. If that were true then our country would have to execute our spies as traitors because they play their role as a citizen or soldier of a foriegn country.
  Sometimes we can do more good inside than out.

  1. you measure distance in minutes.. 2. you've ever had to switch from "heat" to "a/c" in the same day.. 3. stores don't have bags; they have sacks.. 4. stores don't have shopping carts; they have buggies.. 5. you see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.. 6. you use "fix" as a verb.

  example: i am fixing to go to the store.. 7. all the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, or animal.. 8. you install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.. 9. you carry jumper cables in your car ... for your own car.. 10. you know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" is.. 11. you only own four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup,and tabasco.. 12. you think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.. 13. you think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.. 14. the local papers covers national and international news on one page but requires 6 pages for sports.. 15. you think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.. 16. you know which leaves make good toilet paper.. 17. you find 90 degrees f "a little warm.".

  18. you know all four seasons: almost summer, summer, still summer, and christmas.. 19. you know whether another arkansan is from southern, middle, or northern arkansas as soon as they open their mouth.. 20. there is a dairy queen in every town with a population of 1000 or more.. 21. going to wal-mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin wal-martin" or off to "wally world.".

  In the largest town in the county that I was from, the old men would sit on a bench in front of the diner and whittle. Jasper, Ark. Population 399.
  My neighbors actually got into a feud involving gunshots over a hound dog.
  We had a regular bible study with a family who didn't have electricity so we passed around the kerosene lamp. We also helped them slaughter 2 hogs and put them in the smokehouse.
  Amidst that all that, at 7, I asked my aunt after watching the Beverly Hillbillies: "Wouldn't it be funny if we were HILLBILLIES?"

  I hope it doesn't show now.

  Congratulations Mulan! This is my second Christmas ever and we still have the small artificial tree. I had to move it into my bedroom yesterday because my Dad called and said he was coming over. I kept wondering if there was some decoration that I missed.....laying around on the floor. I'm glad I did because another JW relative showed up unexpectedly a little later. I'm getting a little more careless as time goes by.
  Takes a while to really get into it.

  Our kingdom hall had outhouses until 1973.
  They banned hound dogs in the kingdom hall in '68. (the dogs kept fighting during the meeting)

  If you've ever had chocolate gravy.
  If you've seen the inside of an outhouse.
  If you'd rather go coon huntin' instead of watchin' Monday night Football.
  If you used to think the Beverly Hillbillies was a Documentary.

  Just a question Christina....Are you positive that in every relationship you can either have the companionship and love or multiple partners but not both?

  Englishman,

  How many couples can you list who have an open marriage? Most people don't advertise it. I can name at least one.

  Some people see their wives as partners not possesions.

  Just curious Englishman,

  Do you have any experience or evidence that supports such a prophetic statement?

  all of us know how patricharcial the watchtower society (and most fundamentalist religions) is.

  men pretty much "run the show", there probably are things a two year old "brother" would probably get to do before a poineer sister can.

  because the sister is a female(maybe .

  How many men does it take to open a beer bottle?

  None .....It should be open by the time his wife hands it to him.

  Do all people who eventually leave the board do so because they get pissed off or because they just decide they don't need it anymore?
