right on, thirdson, glad things worked out for you in the long run.
as far as your assesment of the roles in a partnership, i couldn't agree more. those who treat their wives as second class citizens are missing out on the true beauty of women.-nate

i really don't see how you could describe LW's post on this thread as "nasty, self-rightous" or "condemnatory", but each one to his or her own.
" I'm sorry you can't see that for exactly what it is. "
um, me too, i guess.
my post was addressed to you personally(or at least part of it), if you take it personally, that's cool with me, but i have tried to be respectful and civil with my differences of opinion. sometimes, though, people are still upset about something that has happened in the past and so they become a tad sensitive to things said later on that do not single them out. that is understandable, but using it to platform is not very cool in my book. if one goes out looking for trouble, one will probably find it, if one tries to avoid it, there is usually no problem. i will try to follow this advice as well.-nate

tina, first off, i never said you didn't have the RIGHT to comment, i just asked why. second, i'm quite familiar with all the interchange between you and LW on the DB, so i'm not being "unfair", IMO. i would never had posted what i did to you had i not been aware of LW's comments as well. i think it's clear from LW's post on this thread that he was not instigating anything with you. he directed his comments toward the author of the thread, esmeralda, and he didn't single out anyone in particular.
i'm just so tired of even the most peaceful thread having to turn into a podium for personal arguments. i am not biased in this because, if you will recall, on a past thread, i expressed my opinion to LW that maybe he should drop it. i think he has. i don't think he did it because of what i said, i only use this as an example to show that i have not been "fighting" for LW, i doubt he would want me to. i present this only as a concerned and independant poster.-nate

hi, esmeralda! i was thinking about your original post, and i think i know what you are saying, i came in right before the big influx of H2O'ers but still very recently, so i am a newcomer too. i actually liked waiting's description of the coffee shop gone popular, it doesn't make it a bad coffee shop, and it doesn't mean the new people are all lame!
i hope you don't leave the board, and though i can in no way speak for them, i doubt the old-timers mind any of us newbies who remember civility most of the time.:)
a side note i'm sure to regret, tina, why did you have to bring your beef with LW into this thread? does it always have to be about a soapbox? i'm not trying to be an Ahole, here, i just don't see how that had any place in the subject matter, except maybe to promote your own feelings about another poster. just a question-nate

magoo-great topic!
my first marriage didn't last 2 years, mostly because i think we were too young, and made the decision too quickly. i wasn't a perfect witness at the time, but i i didn't feel like we could move in together w/out being married, because i wasn't ready to totally give up on the WT yet. i wish we had. we both could have been spared a trying marriage that ended painfully.
during that marriage i eventually did walk away from the WT, so after i was divorced i felt free to follow my instincts on what was right for me as far as relationships are concerned. i don't even consider myself an immoral person, just a realist. later, when i met rileygurl, things seemed so good, and i had never dated someone i felt so bonded and attracted to, but i still wasn't going to hop into marriage without testing the water, i just wasn't willing to make that mistake again. so we moved in together and things WERE great, i ended up comitting my life to her long before we got married. when we did get married it was cool, but almost unecessary-we were already bonded for life.:)
it felt so good to go into marriage knowing that we had as good of a foundation for one as possible, knowing that there might still be suprises down the road, but that the relationship had already stood up to testing, and stayed strong. i wish that so many young witnesses did not have to feel pressured to marry young because of hormones that they cannot control. i wish that most of them didn't have to enter marriage thinking that things would be easier after they got married, only to find out that they just get harder. maybe a few moments of "immorality" ARE better than wasting a good portion, if not all, of your life on a bad marriage. just my two-nate
