[color=#800080]Now, *in the kind of tone that you know is going to start a debate* I don't see why anyone would be in an open relationship with anyone, I mean-they only say that because if they don't get laid they can crawl back to their partner! Just be called 'loose' and have everyone or have no-one then, simple as.


If it was just about sex, it would be easier and probably cheaper to simply see a prostitute. That way you'd get exactly what you wanted, too. Yeah, I'm sure there are people who are the way you describe, but there are tonnes more people who are in a crap exclusive relationship jsut because they think it's better than being single.

If you make a new friend at work or whatever, do you shun all your other friends? No? So why do the same for a girlfriend or boyfriend, if everyone's happy to see someone else as well?

No sex is better than bad sex, and relatedly, no relationship is better than a crappy one.

I'm single at the moment, although I kind of have something going on with a girl. It's on hiatus for the moment as we both sort out where we're going to live and so on. I suppose I'm B, really, although not hoping for love, just to meet some interesting people and enjoy their company for a bit. Frankly, I could do without love for a while after it fucked everything up the last time.

This really needs clarifying. For me, if not for everyone else. ?:|

Also watching porn with your partner is great-just thought I'd take the liberty of slipping that in there-no pun intended

Bah. After hefting the mattress up to change the sheets, one is too knackered for sex, and just collapses onto the bed and passes out.

Hopefully these two unhappy couple people are of the opposite sex and we can get them together in a BETEO blind date stylee. Or just get them to go ghey.

When you put it like that, I'm kinda amazed I'm not single. My GF puts up with a lot of geeky shit from me. She's awesome.

Mrs C *encourages* the geeky shit. Which is all the more surprising as she couldn't be less geeky herself.

Depends. Have you taken photos of them sleeping from within their bedroom? If so, then officially you are in a relationship.
