All Things Relationship

This is a risk with all relationships, but I'd imagine it's even a bigger risk with open relationships where you allow each other to fall in love with others.

Anyone ever watched the show sister wives?

The family set up there seems so civilised one could almost believe it could work sadly I think multi partner families are almost doomed to failure in western society because its not considered the norm.

I do have a friend who is into BDSM she doesnt 'play' much anymore but she allows her partner (he is a sub) to go on play dates.
Although this is much different to an emotional relationship and there are rules about what can and cant happen.. (I didnt ask for details)

I just personally would find it weird to date someone close in age to my parents. Not for me!

My Dad was almost 12 years older than my mom. Same with her sisters, they married to men 10-12 years older than they were. My grandparents wanted to make sure their husbands were established before the marriage.

I think men are less mature than women if they are the same age. I definitely don't like younger men, can't babysit anyone here. Even if they are successful, they tend to let it get over their head.

My husband is three years older and me and I am pretty sure that is the largest difference in age between anyone that I ever dated.

.....and then they want to start hanging about with your parents.

I once went out for a drink with my dad and my ex's boss. I got stuck between them, while they chanted off wwII warships, trying to find out if they had ever been on the same ship.

They hadn't.... 

The second assistant I trained up was just 18, I was 27, but you would never have known by listening. She had her parents values from start to stop, and they were old fogies in their mid forties.

Allison was her name, the last time I saw her she must have been early fifties, and she still sounded the same. lol

5 - 10 is about all i can manage

I think 5 is okay but that would have been the most for me I think.

I just can't stand younger men on average lol

But... I don't think it matters at all when you're not even serious about the people. If you are just causally dating for fun it's different.

Yes, but an illusion I am good at...

My ex got nasty, nasty, nasty.

I have not spoken to him since, and don't intend to.

Most of my exes didn't live near me lol I usually end up just ignoring and deleting them all for one reason or another.

My last ex did try to get back with me after acting like it was the best decision ever to not be together anymore, but I refused to see him. He was just trying to make me jealous I guess, but I was actually done. We both were casually dating, and he would share his stories, so I shared mine... but that made him sick to his stomach lol oh well.. I tried to remain nice and friendly with him, but he was behaving so immature afterward, especially once I entered into the relationship I am in now, and I had to remove him from my life completely. He was basically arguing with my current SO and some of my friends online... I would say he was "butthurt" lol

PSSH... you with a gun?! ;p  Your joke would need to be about missing him with your vehicle and then reversing to try again lol
