Re: Reversing Roles?
What wtf are you talking about?
This has turned into a pretty good discussion. I'd like to know what the eff your wtf-ing at.
Most likely the bits where you show amazingly ignorant lack of understanding for how human sexuality functions. Like bisexual erasure, calling a bisexual man "gay", and other assorted ignorant shii!t.
I normally agree with your harsh call outs and judgements but this whole thing has made me start seeing you as a naive old harpy that has no problem projecting her crappy beliefs as truth.
You suck for the shii!ty and horrible things you said not just about sexuality but gender roles and love between 2 people. I can tolerate religious concern, etc but I have a hard time suffering people who just assume a bi man is gay or that bi people are cheaters. Grow your mind.
Tarpon, this was some bullshiit right here.
There was nearly nothing in this girl's OP worth flaming her over. Maybe a couple side eye worthy items but nothing that deserved your screetching.
Bisexuality is real and no, they aren't more likely to cheat than anyone else.
Simmer down.
Click me, click me!
1) binzy, you're an idiot. When did YOU *choose* to like boys? When your brain and body attracted you to them, would be my guess. Which, SURPRISE, wasn't your choice, now was it?
2) This OP is guaranteed to be MUD, but I'll play along anyway, because I'm bored.
3) What screams trainwreck to me, more than anything about sexual orientation and kissin' cousins, is that within the LAST SIX MONTHS you married and divorced your son's father and he died in prison and you got engaged and pregnant by another man. Unless you just "accidentally" screwed up your story, anyway. Your son is just barely over 2, and you said that just before he was 2, his father came back into your life and you married him. Then he died in prison. Then in January you got pregnant by this other dude. That's SIX MONTHS, darling.
Boggles the mind.
And the PP has the right idea. As I said, she is moving much too fast on all of this.
Tarpon, I'm sorry, but I don't think we can allow you to continue until you give an honest and thorough answer to the OP's question at the end of her original post.
C'mon give...
:P
I'm not even going to get started on all this bi-gay-whatever business, though I think it's sort of weird that Tarpon is all over you for a possible mistype of "was" instead of "is" when she doesn't think that people can be "bi". Besides, that wasn't the point of the post anyway. I'm pretty young too, and I know how a lot of people on here feel about anyone who gets married "too young". It's hard when you feel like you've found the person you want to be with, and people want to impose some sort of "age barrier". That being said, I think an "experience/maturity barrier" might be a good thing to consider. Since you do have a son, and since there was already a previous husband, I just think it might be a good idea to approach with caution. There's already a couple complicated issues going on here, and I think it's essential to find your comfort zones and boundaries before they go any further. It was a good idea to get tested, you're obviously on the ball there! I would just be sure that you're both comfortable and honest about your pasts. Not that that's what you asked about, I just thought I'd respond to all the other people on here. I wish you the best of luck!
I really would like to see these studies that you are referring to.
Sexuality isn't a black and white issue where you're either gay or you're straight-- there is a lot of gray area in between and it definitely isn't a choice. What is a choice, is the way that you treat individuals regardless of their sexual preference.
Can vacation be now please?
