I met my wife on a forum as well....wasn't actually looking to hook up. Just kinda happened after we became friends. I'm guessing because I had gone and visited in person so many people I enjoyed talking with online and then in phone conversations that I didn't realize what was happening until we were a thing.
Sounds about the same for me too. Onlline, phone calls, actually meeting. Then a thing, a major thing.

Nope....she is not. She has been on some of the same ones as me in times past. She has helped me moderate as well when I've been tapped as a moderator or administrator.

I don't think that she is on here....I could be wrong but I'm not concerned about anything I say being offensive to her. We are one.
oh ok
just wondering if she reads what you write and agrees with it or knows about all the things youve said about her ....Im supposing you may not care if anything offends her? Or shes not that sensitive.

Men who talk about their wives on forums of course tend to be positive, but I like a bit of honesty sometimes, the rose coloured glasses come off after the honeymoon, though some couples can kinda be deluded thinking they love one another when really, every sees that they dont they just infatuated.

My wife wouldn't be offended by any thing I write. She has read it all before. I'm not giving a rose tinted picture of my life either....we get along as best of the best friends all the time. We really don't argue or fuss. Each person's desires and wants are important to the other.

I'll even go so far as to ask for a present just because I know she wants one. And I never did care about it or use it. It's OUR game we play. Love is a competition in this house. And I'm still infatuated with my wife....after 13 years of marriage. I am her fan and cheerleader. I'm sorry if you don't see a marriage working that way. Your loss.
YMMV.

?

ok if you like game playing in love but who sets the rules? If its win/win cool but some people play to win and the other loses.

Im just sayin that from personal observation sometimes those games are rigged and mostly won by the men and you dont see the private personal losses,..cos women dont often talk about them.
