WFFC 1 #54 December 29, 2004 Quoteor not Ex G/F's family - 3 of her aunts had been married a combined 18 times would be the reason for my comment. They always thought there was something better and they were always trying to out do eachother. None of them ever won though, they were all just screwed in the head looking back now... I do know people in the lifestyle that are perfectly happy. I do know others that it consumed their life so much that it destroyed the intimacy they shared for each other. It's not a lifestyle for all...----- ~~~Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
