atheist comments on Mar 21, 2018:

Don't take it personally, they hate the sin & not the sinner! lol :)

ashortbeauty replies on Mar 21, 2018:

Lol oh yeah, that's right

Why do random people feel it's appropriate or nice to ask what happened to my face?

ashortbeauty comments on Mar 21, 2018:

I get the same questions..what happened to you..you're so young..Some people are honestly inquisitive, some are just being dicks without any manners. Unfortunately as far as we've come with LGBQ+, disabilities are still bottom of the rung

ashortbeauty replies on Mar 21, 2018:

@Sarahroo29 naw I can say I've never gotten that one

Is everyone ok after the storms yesterday?? Things here are blown around but good.

PickledRick comments on Mar 21, 2018:

Some atheists aren't nice to other atheists as well as some Christians.

Monogamy

Humanlove comments on Mar 19, 2018:

I am for polyamory and monogamy, any of those two works for me. Polygamy is not fit for me. I believe in equal opportunity.

ashortbeauty replies on Mar 19, 2018:

Good answer :)

Monogamy

Dave59 comments on Mar 19, 2018:

If a relationship isn't monogomas it can't last. I don't tolerate cheating. I'd rather leave than be put in that position. I have 2 ex wives so I know from experience.

ashortbeauty replies on Mar 19, 2018:

Polygamy doesn't involve cheating. I was in a polyamorous relationship. It lasted just as long as my monogamous relationships. It may not be right for you, and that's ok, but saying it's wrong is like saying LGBQ+ is wrong.

Monogamy

DenoPenno comments on Mar 19, 2018:

I believe in monogamy. My problem is that in most cases that lasts about 12 years or so. There is something that comes along at about the 12 years together span that makes one of us want to go a different way. It isn't always another person either. I'm still trying to figure it out.

ashortbeauty replies on Mar 19, 2018:

My average lies at 6 years...been through it 3 times. Once married the other two times not married.

Spooner comments on Mar 18, 2018:

I've known happy and unhappy people in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships.

I was very much a monogamous person for many years, then later preferred poly; ...

KKGator comments on Mar 18, 2018:

My second wedding was a civil ceremony. No mention of any gods or religion. Also had the word "obey" removed. A friend timed the whole thing, from start to finsih, at 3 minutes, 52 seconds. Then we all went on to a 9 1/2 hour reception. To this day, it is still the best party I've ever been to.

I sleep with my comforter and pillow. I don't need comfort items in bed with me. I'm not currently involved with anyone and I have a firm rule about the bed not being a place to "hang out" with electronics.

ashortbeauty replies on Mar 18, 2018:

@Crimson67 my back is healing up so my electronics are in my bedroom, even on my bed for easy access. I don't have the choice to x them out of the room as I may need them to contact aide.

This is going to sound odd but I have no desire for monogamy nor polyamory. I am open to both. I've been in both kinds of relationships. I am currently sexually monogamous but emotionally polyamorous. It's not that I wouldn't be open to others sexually. If and when I felt it was something I...

I think a lot of relationships get destroyed unnecessarily when one partner falls for someone else. I also think that monogamy and marriage,in particular,come from a place of fear. Fear of ...

Donto101 comments on Mar 18, 2018:

Monogamy is the only way for me. I can’t share I tried. I’m to jealous for that. I’m not crazy kind and f jealous I trust who I’m with till they give me a reason not to trust them and then it is over. But poly works for some people just not for me.

azzow2 comments on Mar 18, 2018:

This is root core question. To have a mate and be true gets down to the id, where fear comes into play of losing your companion (not jealousy). From a health standpoint single lover is by far the least risk of infections.

You could always say, "One of the things that makes me anxious is wondering when you are going to ask me again about why I am anxious. Could we drop that topic and talk about flowers or travel or....?"
