Hello Everyone

I just wanted to say hi and see how everyone is doing.  I havent been on here in forever, but I see that somethings havent changed :)  It has been a crazy 6 months, but it has been fun and I am so excited to start in a new agency.  I hope that all the people that I use to talk are doing wonderful. 

  

I do have to say something.  I notice that Darcy was worried about sending her children to college.  I dont truly understand why, other then prices, geesh.  I guess I see it as my parents taught me what was right and wrong and of course I screwed up along the way, nothing major, but I survived.   Have faith.  Again hello to all the oldies :)

Quote From: darcylove

hey......well we have one at college. SHe was the easy one to send.....the next one shouldn't be too bad either (except for the cost). But I so worry about sending the boy to colege some day. Maybe it is just him being a boy.....boys seem to make stupid decisions....you know all that testerone and crap. 

  

But he is young yet....only 13. I just know all the things my duaghter tells me.....scares me. SHe says the boys at school sometimes are less mature then junior high boys.  That's pretty bad. I guess that is why she is single (meaning not dating).  

  

But hey vowel lady...good to see you! 

If he has you has a mom, I dont think you have anything to worry about.  He will do the right things. 

  

I have just started a new job and just got back from a 2 month training, ugh, so I am just sitting at my desk waiting to do something.  And it is good to be back.

Plain and simple

Why can it not be said that men that use porn and turn away from their marriage, hurt their wives, girlfriends etc are just jerkstores, plain and simple.  They do it because they can and be damned everything else, to me that is a jerkstore.  The same is true if a woman turns away and spends all the money in the bank account, with her job etc, jerkstore.  It all comes down to me first, me last, me always.  They dont care about anything but themselves and truly dont care who they hurt in the process.  I dont see any excusses when someone constantly does things, it is their choice to hurt or not to hurt.  Plain and simple.  (My opinion only).

Hi

Quote From: faithfol

i have known my boyfriend now for 8yrs. during the first 4yrs he cheated on me with another girl living in his area and that broke my heart, i was very insecure then. Shortly after this happened he left to continue his studies in UK and i also travelled to US but we still didn't break up. he met this girl in UK and through what he's been telling me i feel something went on but he denies it (and i wasn't there so i can't challenge much.) there's also been other girls that i've heard about but he says nothing ever happened. He was there for 3yrs and to tell you the truth i've never even held hands with any other man since i met him. but there has been times i had lied to him about where i was going because he is so jealous even if i visit a friend and comes home 30mins later than the time i originally said i would come home then there is trouble. meanwhile he still talks to this girl that he met in the UK and i have cried and begged him to stop talking to her bcos it hurts me so much but he doens't listen. now he has moved close to me( canada) and we are planning to get married soon. i don't know what to do bcos i dont want to live like a prisoner and also i can't understand why he can't stop talking to this girl even when he knows that it's killing me. pls help me i love this man but im also only 25jrs and want to be happy in life. Thank you for your time. faithfol97
I am really really really sorry this is happening to you.  I am assuming from what you are saying that he is from the UK and you from the US, by saying that, not to throw salt on your wounds, but if he is doing all of this and you are engaged, and in "love", how do you know he is not asking to get married so he can get into the US?  I have seen it so many times, I use to do the interviews of people to gain entrance to the US.  People will do anything to gain residencey here, actually one of my friends married someone from Aussie and he did the exact samething your finance is doing, he actually cheated on her a month after they got married.  He told her that he always wanted to live in the US and would do anything to get here, they ended up getting divorce, he got his residencey revoked and married someone before he could get deported.  I asked her what happened and she said that every time that we were together it was like a vacation and we were so happy to see each other, we never really knew each other and I never knew he was just using me.  Things are not going to get better, if he is doing this now, when this is suppose to be a happy time and planning a wedding.  I would seriously think about if you want to marry this man, I am not saying dont, but you have your whole life infront of you and you dont want to be unhappy.  If you do break up, yes it will hurt, but you do move on, I know I did and then I met someone that was wonderful.  LIfe is to short to be unhappy.  I wish you the best of luck.

Hi

Quote From: luvgoddess

oh wow.  nobody said anything about that.  what i was primarily talking about was men who used ONLY porn and who were still very interested in being sexual with there wives. theres lots of men like that out there, ya know!  these men are good men, good husbands, good fathers, good sons and an asset to society.  but there only fault according to some of these wives is there husbands private sextracurricular activities. what your husband did definitely crossed the line! and the fact that he was more interested in porn than in you is a great indicator of a compulsion or addiction.  but from what i read from the archives, some of the womens husbands on this board were good husbands in every other way except this one thing.  and they were all willing to throw 8 10 17 20 years of marriage down the drain because of something so insignificant as porn!  thats the part that amazes me.  that someone can think that there own feelings are so much more important than there spouses feelings or more important than there marriage as a whole.  

  

in your case, what he did was really out of line.  looking at pictures and videos of naked people having sex is a huge difference from talking to an actual person about sex and getting off on it!  getting off on real people is not right to do, even though some people do this anyways.  i think they do it because they either want to be in control of there own sexuality or doing it makes them feel good sexual feelings that there spouses dont make them feel.  not saying its the other spouses fault for not making them feel that good sexual way either.  just saying that sometimes, even though the person in our life is alot of things that we want in a person...they can't be everything that we want!  i think that whatever characteristic or personality trait that a persons spouse DOESN'T have, especially if its sexually related, then they may go and seek that from another person or source sometime during the marriage.  it doesnt mean that they dont love there spouses if they do this.  its just natural curiosity!  to see or experience what they arent and will probably never experience or feel. being married to ONE person forever and ever isnt an easy thing to do, no matter how much you love that person!  there has to be compromises and realistic expectations instead of controlling another persons actions just to make yourself feel better about them or the marriage. and about your last sentence.  if women have kids just to control there husbands, then they are pitiful excuses for the female species.  children are precious and should be had to be wanted, not to use as a pawn.  hopefully you were only kidding about that.         

I completely understand what you are saying except I am rather confused with your sentence "i think that whatever characteristic or personality trait that a persons spouse DOESN'T have, especially if its sexually related, then they may go and seek that from another person or source sometime during the marriage.  it doesnt mean that they dont love there spouses if they do this."  It sounds to me, from that sentenced that you are okay with your spouse cheating on you, if you dont meet something sexually in him?   And if he did cheat on you, all he would have to say, but honey I love you but you need meet that part in me, rather interesting.  That is rather screwed up, instead of working on the problem within your relationship and talking about it, you just turn away and find another outlet, it just doesnt sound like good communication to me.  But my opinion only.

Well

Quote From: luvgoddess

but i just gave him some goldfish and some juice while i make dinner and answer some of these posts.  no, i'm in no way ok with my husband cheating on me.  but, your definition of cheating seems to be different from mine.  you consider porn to be cheating, and i dont.  only turning to another PERSON while your married is cheating, not turning to another SOURCE (porn).  and also in my post i said that, they MAY go and seek that from another person or source... MAY.  human sexual curiosity is as natural as breathing.  and to deny your husband or bf that just because YOU feel that its cheating is unfair to HIM.  sure, you get YOUR way by him not looking at it, but what does HE get in return? your undying love and sexual attention?  you can't be everything to him, sorry. but you just can't.  and if hes married or with you for the rest of his life, he has EVERY right to dabble in some sexual curiosity either by porn or magazines or anything else that is media and that doesnt involve a real person in front of him.   

  

like i said, i dont know exactly what YOU consider to be cheating, but to me, if all my husband is doing is just looking at porn every now and then and still being the wonderful guy that i met and fell in love with, then hes more than able to do that without any grief from me. because sometimes, i'm curious too.  and if sometimes i want to look at an r rated movie with sex scenes in it or soft porn, i would hope that my husband wouldn't try to control what i like doing sometimes just because of how HE felt about it!  but if thats how your relationship is and that makes both of you happy, then good for you.   

That is not completely what you said, you also mentioned other people and that is what I had a problem with and why I asked the question. 

  

You even said yourself that you think that chatting with other people or phone sex is wrong, but to others that is just another form of porn.  It all depends what people consider to be porn, it sounds like you would not be okay if your husband had phone sex, isnt that stopping him from doing something that he wants to do?  I guess where is the line, yours is a tad farther then some, but there is still a line where you have drawn and if he steps over it, I am sure you would be ticked.  But then I have no idea.

Your lines are farther out

Quote From: luvgoddess

to expect your man to never look at another woman naked in his whole lifetime and only look at your body, whatever shape its in, is very unrealistic and almost seemingly possessive.  if men like your husband voluntarily decide to not use porn, then that makes life more enjoyable for you.  but most husbands do NOT voluntarily decide to not use porn....theyre forced into it or convinced into doing it.  THATS what bothers me.   

  

but at the same time your saying that i'm lashing out at people about what i believe IS permissable, your also lashing out too about what YOU think is NOT permissable!  about what you said >IF i can continue to control the levels in which my man uses or not... < thats my WHOLE point! i DONT control what he does!! my boundaries are deal breakers for me, yes.  and he knows that if he crosses those boundaries, i'm out of there. he knows the difference between porn on a monitor and cybering online or having phone sex.  the problem with you is, you dont give men enough credit!  you act like theyre these big retards with hard ons that just walk around masterbating all day to porn, while cybering or on the phone!   

  

for those men who DONT know the difference and DO cross those lines, they are obviously in way over there heads.  You classify ALL men as eventually crossing that line just because they use porn. and thats simply not true.  there are husbands out there who are good decent human beings that use porn and dont EVER cross those boundaries. but in spite of that, many women still dont want them using it because theyre scared that there husbands MAY eventually cross that line.  control? yes, its about the control some of these wives have over there husbands sexual curiosity or fantasies. and thats just plain wrong. to ME.  no spouse should dominate the other and have the right to tell them what to look at, what to think, what to feel, what to get sexually turned on to, what to believe, etc.  especially if its a private activity that doesnt cause harm to anyone or disturbing anyone!  

  

what i think about guys and porn is MY opinion, luvmiman. you dont have to agree with it or anything.  your lifestyle works for you and thats great.  my lifestyle works for me and thats great too. so, instead of lumping everybodys husband in one basket, you should at least consider the possibility that there ARE loving decent guys out there who look at porn and do nothing more than that.   

  

But you are still controlling what your husband does or does not do, I dont see the difference?

If you want

Quote From: allinall

 As has been the prevailing attitude about porn being cheating, one more thought. If a woman reads a romantic novel, sees a romantic movie or even reads a "how to" on romance, and thinks to herself why doesn't he do that for me; even if she says outloud why can't you be like that toward me, isn't she wanting what is outside her relationship. Isn't she also lusting after what she doesn't have.

If she enjoys reading those type of books and/or seeing those types of movies to evoke the types of feelings she gets from them, isn't that still seeking outside the relationship.

I know this has been gone over before. It keeps centering on that these books and movies are not about sex so that makes it different. It's not "different", it's the same. It's about seeking feelings that are not present or even as frequent in real life as much as one would like. Just because porn is about sex does not make it a lack of desried feelings not available or available as frequently as the one desires.

It's all about seeking out desires that are not as present as the one would ideally want.
these desires, shouldnt you talk to your S/O about them, instead of hiding away in a room somewhere?  Be like, hey wouldnt this be fun to do or why dont we try this, instead of turning away, whether it is the man or woman doing the turning away?  Isnt the feeling one feels when you have sex a little bit more then lets say when you buy a kick ass new purse, at least I would hope so.   If you dont have those feelings, isnt there a larger problem?

But have you ever thought

Quote From: allinall

 I couldn't be more on your side about that.

I'll talk more about the woman's reaction because this porn issue seems to be more a problem for them. So what happens when the wife says no freaken way! or Where did you get that idea? or Just what kind of a woman do you think I am? or Only whores do that! How many women do you know that are even open to the idea of fantasies as anything other than seeking something they are not.

I can tell you it's my experience and the same experience of many other men that a woman would much rather buy a kick-ass purse than have sex. They (women) would rather go shopping for anything than have sex. That's the whole issue I have talked about all along. The difference in what men and women believe is important to them.

that maybe why some women dont want to have sex is because they are not getting anything out of it?  I have met people that dont want to have sex because it seems more of a chore to them because, it is usually a he, doesnt do anything in return and it becomes very self centered.   I would imagine it would not be fun to have sex.  And if someone doesnt want to do something, then move on, and try something else, instead of being stuck in, this is what I want to do and if you dont give it to me, I will look at porn. 

  

Also, have you ever thought that a woman may not want to have sex with their S/O if she knows he has been looking at porn, because she is just  an outlet for him. that makes people feel good, instead of really being connected with her and that he is treating her like a whore, just a thought. 

  

As for the fantasy thing, I dont know any men that would be willing to do anything like that, to be completely honest.

Here here

Quote From: darcylove

you wrote "so, to say that a couple watching a porn video in there own bedroom with no one else around is 'hurting' other people or is having fun 'at other peoples expense' isnt true at all.  we all cant save the world and we cant control what happens within society either." 

  

you know ....saying this is like the person who says "My vote doesn't make a difference."  I hate it when someone says "well what difference does it make ...I am only one person." 

  

What a cop out! 

"A waterfall begins with one drop of water and look what becomes of that." 

  

Completely agree :)
