Youmust be god too

I'm not god...

YoMomma ·
I agree with you.. that's bs.. a marriage is a commitment and I don't believe in "open marriages" either 🙄
Pherick · 41-45, M
You actually probably got blocked because you somehow linked open marriage and pedophilia. ... Lets be honest ..
Pherick · 41-45, M
@TheWhiteRabbit: Its my fault ;)

I was saying I didn't think he should have such severe opinions about open-marriages if you haven't been in one. Just like saying "I have never done drugs, but its easy to give them up"

Then owl came back with "Pedophilia, I don't need to experience it to know its bad" ...
SW-User
i was arguing with pherick. he said that i must be in an open marriage to understand it and have an opinion on it.. thats when i told him that i dont have to be a pedophile to understand it as they justify their behaviors. doesnt mean i have to do it to have an opinion on it.@TheWhiteRabbit:

Why bother marrying at all if you are going to not be true? So, no I don't consider it a marriage I would want
SW-User
thats what i think too.
SW-User
Depends on the people really....some are completely happy with an open marriage. It's not up to me to define their marriage. It wouldn't work for me but I don't judge them.
Yes I think it's an actual marriage
firefall · 61-69, M
Sure it is. Marriage doesn't just mean 'Traditional Western marriage dictated by religious authorities', other sorts of marriage have been around for aeons. For that matter, there's a very longstanding western tradition of de-facto open marriage, for the man only.
SW-User
I stand by you. Why even bother signing papers if its all about sex? I guess, those really need to fix their concept of marriage. Its not just about love, its about compromise and scarifies as well.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
Why bother caring what others do or how they define marriage for themselves?
SW-User
why bother trying to change what people think or disagree with.
SW-User
What is an open marriage? Like an open relationship? If that's what it is then I agree with you.
PoizonApple · 41-45, F
I never said that.
SW-User
you wrote something like that.
PoizonApple · 41-45, F
This is exactly what happened. Some jackass asked:
do you tell your husband about other men fucking you? Does he like to hear about it?

And I responded to said jackass:
I tell him who I am going out with and where, but I don't give him details of my sex life. Everyone deserves privacy.

It is quite the opposite of what you said, that I "doesnt even tell her husband who she messes around with". He has met every one of them.
ManicMicah · 26-30, M
I believe marriage is between anyone who truly love each other. And if it's more than two, then so be it, who am I to stand in the way of true love.
ManicMicah · 26-30, M
@theowl: What about the people who DO truly love more than one person? And manage to stay with the both of them for the rest of their lives? It could be real love, and it does exist. It's just not "normal".
SW-User
even the multiple marriages have struggles.. theres that one on tv. that mormon guy with like 4 or 5 wives.. one of the wives is getting a divorce. its hard having just one relationship but many is chaos. like that saying you cant serve two masters youll love on and hate the other or youll spend more attention on one than the other.
F0X0NTHERUN · 31-35, F
@theowl: Polyamory is not your definition of "real love", however that does not invalidate its' existence, reality, or sincerity; nor does it declassify those who share open-relationships, open-marriages, or mutually-consensual extramarital affairs as "not in love".

We are all rightfully due respect, regardless of understanding, agreement, or empathy, towards our romantic and sexual preferences (wherein no non-consenting party is harmed, etc).

Simply because you are salty over what I can only assume is a bad experience with a cheater or affair, does not equate to having the power or ability to write-off the preferences of others.

Sit down and stay in your lane.
Carla1951 · 70-79, F
Owl, YOU are correct. We must go with the laws of the state and government. Not by laws and rules made up by some NEW organization or Commune.
The LAWS of ones country in which they live may differ to other country laws. Example: Morman. In THIS they have communes where an Uncle can wed a child. They are immune to the laws of SATE. Multiple marriages as well. But tread carefully in this.
Meisje · 31-35, F
Personally, I don't think so. However, I think that it works for some.
lillyd · F
No I think it's gross...but each their own
Blonde · 31-35, F
I think it's up to the individuals.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
Not a reason to block you.

But....

What you feel is right for you is your perogative...why must you diminish what is right for others because it is not right for you? No one is forcing you to agree with it nor for you to have that type of relationship. How other people live ,in that respect, does not affect you so why does it matter what you feel about it in terms of their marriages being viable?
SW-User
I think you need the context of his judgey ranting.
SW-User
so you are saying no one should have an opinion what so ever.. it was more about me and pherick arguing about it. for the reason for the block.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
Oh yea. That is exactly what I said 🙄🤔

No. You are not some hugher power being who has tbe tight to deem marriages viable or not based on your beliefs.

Jesus... You are very opinionated. Nothing wrong with that. Problem is you think everyone has to live by your rules and :NEWS FLASH...they do not.

@DeadCowboy: context matters not

He has no grasp anyway
Pherick · 41-45, M
So let me ask people, arranged marriages? Those are still happening all over the world. Are those "real marriages"????
Pherick · 41-45, M
Interesting.

So marriage with two people who have no control over being married = real.

Marriage with two people who have full control over being married = not real.

I fail to see the logic in that.
SW-User
they make it a marriage. they stay committed. they arent acting like single people with the benefits of a marriage.
Pherick · 41-45, M
@theowl: Yea I think we are just going to have to disagree on this one. To me, people forced to marry disregard the whole point of a marriage. To be with someone you love and trust.

Open-marriage people my have sex outside of marriage, but they still are in a marriage by virtue of wanting to be there.
SW-User
I don't think you have the moral standing to be able tell anyone else what their relationship means.
katielass · F
I think it's a marriage, just a different kind, but that doesn't mean you have to see it the same. You got blocked for that?
SW-User
yeah for saying its not really a marriage in my opinion.
SW-User
and arguing with pherick over it.
katielass · F
Well, I can see your position and can't criticize your thinking on it. I guess consider yourself lucky?
Tminus6453 · M
No, its for people who want the "comforts" of being married but the benefits of still being single. its just ridiculous though for many reasons
SW-User
thats what my thoughts were
SW-User
it is if they have the paperwork
it works for some people
I don't think an open marriage is worth the trouble
Carla1951 · 70-79, F
One Husband One Wife together... As long as ye both shall LIVE
What am I missing?
Does that person who blocked you claim to be married?
However I disagree with the Mormon marriage and multiple wives. Not to mention marrying prepubescent children.

If both people are on board, then yes. I am not certain it's for me, but that's beside the point.
BabyLonia · F
There isn't one type of relationship. If it works for them and their marriage then why judge?
HotBoy666 · 51-55, M
I'm blocking you too lol 😀
Pherick · 41-45, M
I think I should mention, people seem to be misunderstanding. Open-marriages don't mean "bang whoever you want" or I should say, they don't normally. They might mean partners have understand about who sleeps with other people at times and things, but like anything else, its about communication.

Its not crazy free-wheeling sex while married.
SW-User
but like what poisonapple or whatever her name was she didnt even tell her husband the men she was messing with.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
This!

xSharp · 31-35, M
its more of a living arrangement. like living with your female best friend who you also bang once in a while and maybe have kids with, you can still screw other people but you know that you will still have help with the bills, you just gotta think about it realistically is all. the tax breaks help to i guess.
SW-User
yeah its like singlehood but yet have the money and assets of a married person
xSharp · 31-35, M
@theowl: and "couples just starting out" are always selected first for the better more accommodating living arrangements. there are many benefits to meeting certain criteria. in canada a frenchman who can mumble just a few words of english is considered bilingual but it is not the other way around.
VeronicaPrincess · 61-69
Are you suggesting that promiscuous cheaters shouldn't be allowed to marry? 😝
SW-User
yeah...
VeronicaPrincess · 61-69
@theowl: I think it's pretty messed up too 🤓
Selah ·
I dont care to define other people's fucked up relationships.
strongbow · 46-50, M
Hell no its not an actual marriage, no point in arguing with them though, let them freaks have their fun
lillyd · F
