oh no...............

Unbelievable.

I'll hold him down while you hit him.

With the sledge-hammer I'll pm you

add me to that list to help. just send him up here and we'll pour some bacon grease on him and leave him to find his way back to town.

Let's go one more step - pour bacon grease on him and tie him to a tree!

Um, woah woah woah...

I'm still "technically" married. I was when I met my GF and when xdh met his GF. There are rare instances where people are 'married' but are still dating etc.

That said, he's a **** (just asterisks, but fill in the space with your word of choice) for not being up front about it. Even if he really likes you and was afraid of 'scaring you off' honesty wins far more points. (and besides, in that situation, generally, his 'wife' would also be there to tell you "Yeah... he's just my roommate for now") unless they're swingers or the like...

BUT... I've been in a torch-and-pitchfork mood for awhile, so Alaska, Bacon Grease, and Trees sound like a good idea. Some farm girl should bring a burdizzo, too. Just for giggles and to watch him go white. I know, I'm bad.

Sorry girls, this talk makes me really uncomfortable.

If I read this on a guy's board about a woman not telling a man she was married, I'd get more than uncomfortable. So I try to be symmetrical.

You can say I have no sense of humour if you like... I'd rather say that I have very low tolerance for physical violence, even in words thrown around just for fun.

You're right. It's just play but I'm sorry it made you uncomfortable. No harm intended.

I'm 'mostly harmless' for a reason- even if I'm a madwoman. Though I'd use the same terms for any friend of mine (male or female) who "done mah friend wrong" but yeah, I got a little wound up. No harm intended...

[pooks]

Well, call me old-fashioned but that guy wouldn't even be a "friend" after that stunt.

As for romantic love being a modern American construct -- I don't think so. It was actually a subversive European construct -- subversive because women writers started writing love stories about women who actually managed to bring men to their knees in the name of romantic love. Romance at that time was the horrifying idea that young girls and women who were supposed to be bartered off to the highest monetary and political advantage to the father would instead find a way to use "love" to subvert the system.

Ah, the power.

kit we both know the truth.

You're right. I'm a little more than 'mostly' harmless, but if I wasn't, I'd hardly belong on Team Danger!
Ok, that and harm can be intended if people mess with those near an' dear.
CWR, you're keeping me honest...
