I did the first couple of times, but I got over it. No offence.

Anyhoo, I need a restaurant recommendation(s) for Monday night. Thoughts?

Also, if anyone who is in LA (Does anyone who posts here live in LA anymore?) my patentpara sock will be available for drinks during that period.

The masseuse was reported to the Illinois Board of Massage Therapist Licensing, which promptly held a hearing and censured him. He was assessed all investigation costs: $312.78.

Ah. Masseur is male massage therapist. Masseuse is female. You had me confused because I had the "two hot chicks sexy-time" image in my head, which has now been replaced by "creepy dude copping a feel" image.

For the record, a female massage therapist (Russian) massaged my breasts once. But she asked first. And it was mostly the muscles around my breasts, but she touched on the breasts because "is good for lymph flow" apparently.

Depends on the circumstances. Sometimes it's TOO easy to forgive an SO because you love them. This is one way in which bad and even abusive relationships continue (on and on and on).

Confiding in a friend can be a good way to get a reality check -- is this really bad, or am I just not dealing with it right? This is one reason why abusers will try to cut off their SOs from friends, because the friends will see things without the rose-tinted glasses of "love".

I have only ever had one friend who I would tell details about relationships, because he gave clear-headed responses -- sometimes telling me that I should get out, others telling me that I was the one fucking up. I never felt like this was cheating, but he wasn't my type....

Down low rest stop wide stance hookups, cheating. Legit strip club lap dance on the main floor, eh, not cheating. Going back to the champagne room to touch titties or other stuff, cheating (but I guess there is some debate on if you just sit there and the stripper grinds on you, fuck if I know, I just don't do that). DVD Peep Show room (hi Sidd), not cheating. Robot sex, not cheating. But most of those are just icky regardless of cheating or not.

What about if a monkey jerks you off?

Would it have bothered you if she was excited by it?

2. like say if RexRyan, or the missus, had told a friend about the movies and asked the friend if putting it on the internet was a good idea.

Now, whipped cream and the stripper, well, yeah, if your fiancee is cool and all and pretty much gave the go ahead, whatever. But just from a medical perspective, licking the ass of a whore is probably never a super idea. Plus you may be lactose intolerant.

What if your wife convinces a friend that the reason hubby is spending so much time tending the BBQ is because he really wants her to get some strange while he's close by? Just wondering.

And now it's time for a hideous stereotype: in general, I don't think it's a sure thing that a guy friend will always take your side when you complain about your relationship. It seems to me that ncs and ABBA assume otherwise of their female friends, and I have had personal experiences where female friends expected that of me.

You will not be surprised to learn that I am not very good at that.

PM me when the date gets closer. It's true that I fled to the east coast for a trip when I heard that Sidd was coming to town, but I'm happy to buy you a beer, so long as you leave the Cleveland Steamer at home.

Is it really true that so many of you have been able to apply a bright-line, no cheating-rule to every relationship you've ever been in for your entire life, whether those relationships be relatively serious or not?

Maybe people have just been in serious relationship after serious relationship. Maybe everyone here is highly principled when it comes to cheating and always has been. I already got some answers that indicate that posters just dumped people instead of cheating.

No matter what the answer, I wanted to hear about people's experiences. I don't know what the focus is on the "impossible" part of my comment. Jesus. Obviously it's not impossible. I just thought cheating was a whole lot more common than it appears to be on this board. Hell, I don't think I have a single male friend who hasn't cheated on someone. And lots of the females I've known have done a whole lot of cheating too.

TM

In my last serious relationship there was some cheating. And some confessions and redemption too. None of that counts the Hank's wife thing.

Does that make you feel better?

I'm not saying don't talk to anyone about relationship issues -- just that telling close friends/family who have a day-to-day relationship with you (and therefore with your SO) about the ins and outs of your relationship can be a bad idea. I have spoken to various people (on this board even!) about some very painful issues in my past relationships. I have found their advice to be very helpful to me. But they have no stake in the outcome other than that I am happy, and they do not have to make nice with an SO who hurt me had I not followed their advice and decided to stay.

My concern is not that my close friends would always take my side. My concern would be that I could forgive an SO but my close friends might not be able to and I would have to choose between them. Also, what TM said about the friend accidentally telling the SO and the SO getting pissed.
