Some angry and very hurt, distrustful folks here in Jim's living room ... and most having proclaimed in the past they'd have my 6 in a firefight (or simular words / sentiments)
Not sure I'd want such a delicate psychology watching guard.
I know a number of couples where this has worked out well over a long period of time.
Even first marriages that have lasted forty-five years for a couple I have known since I was a kid.
There are relationships that do not develop along stereotypical lines and that does not doom them to failure.
As a whole, relationships work or they don’t and others assign causes by viewing from the outside. I just wish them well even though I stay pretty traditional.
We see the religious arguments here daily, Sex and relationships is clearly a mine field -- the politics we handle pretty well here, but still everyone is either too Liberal or else too much of an ideological purist.
And that's why it's always safe to talk about the weather. (It's cold and windy where I am.)
