well, I'm not really

single, no. Sue and I have been together for 9 years now. This might shock you but the long time posters here know

that Sue and I are swingers so I have zero reason to cheat on her. I just think it's interesting to understand

where trends are going though.

Now, people do cheat, men more often than women but women do it too. GMoney,

you probably have a vision of what an ideal life is and I'll bet you are under 30. There's nothing wrong with

that at all. But, when the institution of marriage came into being people were lucky if they lived till 30. Now we

live till 80 or thereabouts and people do get tired of the "same ole thing" after a while. Some are strong in their

convictions, most are weak though, including myself.

Well, that's a relationship

dynamic that's a bird of a different color, so to speak. It's not for me, but I'm not going to knock your

choices.

I'm 33, never been married, but date my ass off. I guess my view of marriage is a bit idealistic, but

I had two sets of grandparents that were together and flirting till they died, so I've got good inspiration and

examples to go by.

Not saying my mind wont change after 10 years of marriage, but it is what it is now, and I am

who I am now, not who I will be 10 years from now, capisch?

best not to let yourself

believe in "karma", were it true David Rockefeller would be in a homeless shelter and GWB would be in a gulag where

the inmates are being tortured, capische?

[Gmoney]

Ah, but I do believe in Karma.

However, almost inseparable from a true belief in the laws of Karma, is the philosophy of reincarnation, along with

the belief in an immortal soul of some sort. Karma, good bad or otherwise, doesn't always come in this turn of the

wheel, but it does come.

GWB will get his

is Asian and Buddhist.

She decidedly believes in Karma which I think is unhealthy. Once she became a little bit "Americanized" her saying

was: "what comes around goes around", a saying she learned from her workmates in a low-paying job. For the

downtrodden (not that I think you are, I think the opposite of you), that philosophy helps them to cope but doesn't

really get them anywhere better. To her and other believers of that, they feel as if their station in life has

nothing to do with ability but rather luck, or lack of it and that the tide will eventually turn but you and I know

it really never does unless we do something to better ourselves.

Another saying (philosophy) I hear once in

a while is "be nice to people on your way up as you might meet them again on your way down".
