[color=#800080]Now, *in the kind of tone that you know is going to start a debate* I don't see why anyone would be in an open relationship with anyone, I mean-they only say that because if they don't get laid they can crawl back to their partner! Just be called 'loose' and have everyone or have no-one then, simple as.

If it was just about sex, it would be easier and probably cheaper to simply see a prostitute. That way you'd get exactly what you wanted, too. Yeah, I'm sure there are people who are the way you describe, but there are tonnes more people who are in a crap exclusive relationship jsut because they think it's better than being single.

If you make a new friend at work or whatever, do you shun all your other friends? No? So why do the same for a girlfriend or boyfriend, if everyone's happy to see someone else as well?

No sex is better than bad sex, and relatedly, no relationship is better than a crappy one.

I'm single at the moment, although I kind of have something going on with a girl. It's on hiatus for the moment as we both sort out where we're going to live and so on. I suppose I'm B, really, although not hoping for love, just to meet some interesting people and enjoy their company for a bit. Frankly, I could do without love for a while after it fucked everything up the last time.

Were it not for Thursday poker during which I also watch porn (mostly to keep Joans happy), I'm not sure I'd be able to get through the week at all

This really needs clarifying. For me, if not for everyone else. ?:|

I saw porn mentioned...

Also watching porn with your partner is great-just thought I'd take the liberty of slipping that in there-no pun intended

Well you know sex is going to be involved in here somewhere, come on!

So, sex then, eh? What's that all about?

Changing the bed sheets more than normal

Bah. After hefting the mattress up to change the sheets, one is too knackered for sex, and just collapses onto the bed and passes out.

Someone has selected "In an unhappy long-term relationship, unmarried". This makes me sad.

Wasn't me

I haven't responded to the poll at all.

Two people have said 'in a new relationship'. I WONDER WHICH TWO IT COULD BE.

It's amazing how many people are single here, I thought there were more people with partners. It's weird me and G are the only one's in the newbie r-ship part

I'm amazed that so many people who spend all day posting on a forum that's a spin-off from a forum about a video games journalist who did his most well-known work fifteen years ago aren't single.

Most new relationships start at the office Christmas party - trufax.

Oh no! Now we have someone wanting a divorce!

Hopefully these two unhappy couple people are of the opposite sex and we can get them together in a BETEO blind date stylee. Or just get them to go ghey.

When you put it like that, I'm kinda amazed I'm not single. My GF puts up with a lot of geeky shit from me. She's awesome.

My wife likes geeky shit. Hooray!

Mrs C *encourages* the geeky shit. Which is all the more surprising as she couldn't be less geeky herself.

This isn't 'Do you plan to change your current haircut', you know.

My gf has incredibly intelligent and virtuous traits that I have found in no other person and I'm constantly reminded of their rarity. It's just the cack-handed car-sale negotiation that threatens our future happiness.

Pff, clearly you used all of your powers in the first reply to the horoscopes thread.

Meh - Friday afternoons are my Kryptonite.

Com - is this a new GF? If I remember rightly, your cheap eating habits were inspired be the exit of a lady from your living arrangements.

I think the "why" is eluding us. Is it because you ate all the food?

Depends. Have you taken photos of them sleeping from within their bedroom? If so, then officially you are in a relationship.

Oh don't get me wrong. The Skeptogirl likes my Blog and (now) likes computer games so we are all good.
