The reason I've created this new thread is because the "why monogamy" thread is way too long, filled with us going round and round in circles with you. Even though there's been several of us who've told you this, and I really don't know how to put it any more plainly to you than has already been done. Let me say it once more, loud and clear: <P>IF BOTH YOU AND YOUR W AGREE TO ANY PARTICULAR LIFESTYLE, GO FOR IT!<P>I've said that to you several times before, and yet you reply <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>I get the impression you refuse to stop thinking this is something I am initiating.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Huh?<P>I cannot believe you feel you are unique in wanting something different. There are billions and billions of people on this planet, and almost that many lifestyles. If your W agrees, then have at it! If she doesn't, then make a choice as to whether that lifestyle is more important than your marriage, and either stay or go. What on earth are you trying to convince us of? You are never going to convince any of us who don't want that type of lifestyle any different. Just as I suspect none of us could convince you any different. Didn't you say this same thing to Rob??? And that doesn't make us closed-minded, nor does it make you innovative. It's a matter of personal preference and choice, nothing more.<P>Don't blow this all up to be more than it is. Now, having said that, I wish you and your W continued open communication and that you two can agree on a lifestyle that you are both comfortable with. Peace.<P>------------------<BR>Love is meant to heal. Love is meant to renew. Love is meant to oust all fear. Love is meant to harmonize differences. Love is meant to bring us closer to God.
