I respect people's decisions, even if they don't coincide with my own. I have just as much respect with someone who only wants a few people to view their pictures as someone who posts their pics for all the public to see.
I don't have a problem with that either. I have problem with people who act innocent, when they aren't. I don't respect people who aren't true to themselves. If you are ashamed of something you did, you shouldn't have done it. I also have a hard time believing you have just as much respect as someone who has a gangbang with 100 people on camera, as someone who decides to only have sex in their room, off camera. If you really do, then kudos to you...because most women don't agree with other women objectifying themselves.
There is a difference between people who act innocent, and those who act as though they've done little wrong. A lot of women are labelled as being bitches or sluts because they willingly do something that is not exclusively innocent and they very well know what it can be considered wrong. You were ready and eager to call Lynsey a slut only just a short time ago. I don't want to make excuses for anyone. But sometimes being in a relationship with anyone whatever the circumstance is seen as a total waste through the gift of hindsight. I'm pretty sure that Lynsey was trying to say just that because she felt like she missed out on some of the things that other people her age were doing. I really don't think that justifies calling her, Kinky, and me a slut. Putting labels on people who are trying to help the OP out in saying that it wasn't him, it was her, is fairly uncalled for.
Saying it was okay what she did because of whatever excuse you can think of, is not right. At 17, she knew what she was doing. She chose to be with the OP. She then chose to cheat on the OP. You can't make excuses for that, sorry. Just my opinion.
If you notice the title of this thread, this only Part 2 of the storyline. Their relationship was on the rocks for awhile. He hadn't spoken to his partner for several days. Is it cheating if she dumped him and didn't tell him? Not sure. Maybe in her mind they were just casually dating.
It's certainly disrespectful. But it's also true that he asked for it. I maintain that such mishaps occur in every age cohort imaginable.
He asked for it? Wow. If it wasn't established that it was an open relationship, it was cheating. If she didn't tell him she dumped him, then it was cheating. How in the fucking world do you justify hooking up with someone else if you forgot to tell the person you are with? You think that is a common mishap? "Oh by the way, I meant to dump you a week ago, but I fucked this guy 3 days ago....but it's not cheating because I MEANT to dump you before I did that..." That is just...wow.
You don't really know DroopySnoopy, do you? He's been having a bad run with the women that he chooses to date lately.
Dude, foist of all: ease back, relax, have yourself a soda pop. Second of all, I didn't say it wasn't cheating. I didn't say it was cheating. I said it was disrespectful (for any age). But we do fundamentally disagree on the issue of "if it wasn't established that it was an open relationship" --- I tend to take the opposite view. I don't see how I would assume I was committed to anyone unless that was verbally agreed upon. Further, I'll say that anyone who commits to someone prior to knowing them in some depth, is asking for it. Especially if the girlie in question goes days on end without returning calls. BTW, I have never called a woman more than twice without a call back. First, call: "Hi, etc." Second call, "Call me back in a timely fashion or I'll assume we're off."
If you are dating someone, unless it is agreed upon that you guys are able to fuck other people, it should be common sense. I can't believe women want to be able to fuck other men that badly, that they need it established THAT much. Next time I will make sure that when we start dating, it's me and you. Not me, you, john, mary, peter and paul. Jesus christ, it's common sense that you aren't free to go fuck the world. Must be some radical hippie movement. Unless a verbal or written contract has occurred..that means I can fuck whoever I want. And I solemnly swear to completely ignore the common sense that is dating.
Your statement clearly was apparent that you thought it was his fault. Assumptions not needed. If someone can make an easy assumption of what you say, you should explain yourself more.
You're trying to make it black and white. It's not a blame game. I say it was disrespectful on her part. And lacking in self-respect on Droopy's part.
A person deciding to be with a girl was a problem with his self-respect? No wonder guys can't understand women. They don't make any fucking sense, rofl. You would get better responses out of a fucking coma patient.
No. A person who commits to someone he doesn't yet know well is lacking in self-respect. And a person who calls over and over again without a call back hoping to still be committed to the other person is lacking in self-respect.
