actually, that won't be necessary.
My wife and I don't make a habit out of hanging out with opposite-gendered folks solo. It's not, like, official policy or anything and it's no big deal if some set of circumstances comes into play and it winds up happening, but that's just sort of how it worked out/the most mutually comfortable option. It's been 8ish years and I don't think either one of us is unhappy with the arrangement. I guess I can see how some people might be though. :shrug:

It helps that neither one of us is super social to begin with.

Yeah but you probably wouldn't turn down a ride just because it'd be a woman driving, right?

Oh, gently caress no. That falls under circumstances/things happen. Similarly, nobody would freak out if opposite gender person stopped by to see us and only one of us was home. We aren't THAT weird. I hope.

That's reasonable, the unreasonable part comes when one party takes on the onus of punishing the other for their perceived infidelity.

Well, at least I know my former roommate isn't the only one out there weird enough to keep a JO log. He didn't measure volume though, just who he was thinking about or what porn he was watching, how long it took, and a brief 1-2 sentence summary of the experience (i.e. was he laying down or sitting at his desk, which hand he finished with, etc).

He didn't try to hide it though, he'd bust that excel sheet out pretty much any time he was drunk and/or when we had guests over. He used it to brag about how much he loved his fiancee (about 75% of the entries were "thinking of her", which I don't believe at all). Nobody found it interesting or wanted to know more, but that never stopped him.

How the gently caress do people like this manage to have significant others?

Human beings of all genders are fundamentally garbage and the concept of 'leagues' meaningless. There will always be someone who is just as crazy and undesirable as any given person and sometimes they meet.


Its also the reason the lady who looks like Shrek who nearly ran me over in a KFC car-park because she needed desperately to get an extra sheen of grease on her literally swollen forehead somehow has six kids.

Non-anonymous confession: the amount of "30 and a virgin" stuff popping up tells me the modest number of relationships and one night stands I had before my current GF must seem like a monumental "achievement" to some people while I myself always thought I was on the lower end of the scale.

And a comment on the don't spend time with a woman/man alone:
No offense, but to me this means people are insanely insecure in their relationships. Of course I don't go drinking with a hot girl I meet somewhere, but who would ever do that when you are in a committed relationship?
But spending time with a woman from work or a female friend without her and my partner is totally not a thing my GF even bats an eye at and vice versa. Even considering a ride from work with a woman "not a problem because it happens/is a necessity" is hugely weird to me.

We are not married, because I am not religious and to me marriage is a largely religious invention, and my GF accepts that and since we don't plan on having kids even a civil marriage to make custody less of an issue is not a topic we need to think about.

I am going to catch a lot of flag for my next statement but here goes:
In a lot of cases, it feels to me like when some people marry they partly do it because they think it is expected by society (marry, build a house, have kid, plant a tree) and/or because they think a ring on the finger somehow makes their relationship more committed than just living with said person in a monogamous long-term relationship.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a correlation between said (especially latter) marriages as well as early marriages and people being insecure with their partner when it comes to spending time with opposite sex persons alone.

I mean realistically, when would you ever spend time with someone alone who is not a mutual acquaintance (and 99% will be mutual after your relationship last a while) or a co-worker? There really aren't that many occasions for this to happen unless you actually go to a bar to meet new people. If you are afraid your partner may be tempted by being alone with a person, I fear there is a high likelihood there is something else wrong in your relationship.

I have female friends who I drink with solo and who have even crashed at my place when my wife has been out of town and my wife was cool with it. If she thought I was going to gently caress every woman I know she wouldn't have married me. The other part is my wife has met my female friends and trusts those people even if she isn't exactly close to them. If I ever made friends with a woman who my wife specifically felt was trying to gently caress me, she'd tell me and that would be the end of that friendship, but so far it's been a non issue.

You're absolutely correct and its probably indicative of anxiety, trust issues and / or self esteem problems. One person may be fine with those ground rules if it helps avoid making GBS threads in the well another may find it creepy and possessive and I'd argue both are probably correct.

Wife's clothes goon:

That's a pretty mild fetish, compared to the other stuff that regularly crops up on this dead gay degenerate forum. You should tell her - if anything, she'll be pleased / turned on that you are getting off to HER stuff, and she'll be even happier that you are sharing such a personal thing with her. And then you two can have a shopping day together to buy matching clothes to later tear off of each other at home. Sounds like a win/win IMO.

My wife and I have plenty of opposite-gender friends but usually don't hang out with them one-on-one because they're usually couple friends where all four of us are friends with each other. That seems to be a fairly normal way of things. At any rate though Mike Pence's thing isn't really analogous to this because he can't even talk to a female business associate one-on-one which is completely loving ridiculous for a high-level professional.
