I had been listening to a radio show about how today, gen x ers value their freedom too much and see commiting to marriage as somehow a failure of their personal autonomy. I on the other hand feel my entire life I have been hemmed in and compromised by my overbearing/controlling partners. Now I see there is a middle ground it is a beautiful quote.FI0NAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044942381358172235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345462981115809499.post-58282408753712521312007-09-30T13:28:00.000-07:002007-09-30T13:28:00.000-07:00Yeah...what she said.

I get all defensive if people joke about substance abuse...even folks on television or the radio or in music or wherever. It's just not funny or light or ok for me anymore, and I guess it won't be.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for you comments on my post about needle-finding, by the way. It makes me feel good to know that my crazy is helping folks in the same way that I was helped earlier on in this adventure. <BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself...joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453075718683708291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345462981115809499.post-9202854768000684962007-09-29T09:57:00.000-07:002007-09-29T09:57:00.000-07:00In a healthy relationship, you don't hide things -...In a healthy relationship, you don't hide things -- especially not things that would change your partner's vision of the relationship. It may be that we are biologically programmed (whatever that means) for multiple partners, but if we feel we need to be with more than one person, we need to be honest about it.<BR/><BR/>I have to say though, that I don't know if it's possible to have a healthy relationship with multiple partners anyway. I have just never seen it myself. I do know people with open marriages, but they all have serious mental health issues and one party or the other seems to hurt over the arrangement.Mary P Jones (MPJ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10251787926841410344noreply@blogger.com
