A thread for married people

[Jon Miller]

I know people who have tried open relationships where both sides were open/honest and very very pro-open relationships.

It hasn't worked out well.

But it wasn't just a live-in girlfriend.

It was clear from context in the other thread that "talking" meant deep discussions about thoughts, feelings and opinions that might reveal that your girlfriend is a Nazi. There's no need for those kinds of conversations in a relationship. I completely agree that other types of conversations must be engaged in to fool your partner into thinking you actually care about what she has to say and that recognizing when you must say something is also a vital skill.

I hadn't read the other thread when I read this one.

If self_biased is involved she won't remember anything anyway.

I think the younger generation (of which I am part of, not YOU ) is blessed as we are natural multitaskers to a degree never before seen.

Multitasking= doing several things badly at the same time

Only if you're bad at it, or really, really ridiculously ancient (older than 30).

That will happen to you some day.

[Asher]

I've noticed that as I reach the "really old" barrier, it just gets higher. It's amazing how the world works sometimes.

It used to be 25, but with the latest technology a couple of years ago it got bumped up to 30.

It's good to see the younger generation fooling themselves with the same techniques that we have used for decades. 50 isn't old, 60 is.

How does one go about finding a woman who thinks more or less like a man?

Which is why I asked my question . Rational, man-like-thinking, woman, pfft!

[Elok]

I believe they're quite rare. I picked another aspie--a type of person who thinks in a highly "male" fashion. But there aren't many female aspies, and many of them are none-too-functional.

Now, she doesn't think entirely like a man. But generally she prefers discussing things rationally, and she ALWAYS tries to explain why she's upset instead of expecting me to guess. I love my wife.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yeah, you are married to a man

Just accept it now. It'll make things easier.

[Elok]

I'm all about the extremely concave penis!

I could introduce you to an up-and-coming female Industrial musician who is both Aspie and really rather hot.

The drawback is that she's completely ****ing mental. Like, really quite bonkers above and beyond the Aspie stuff.

There have been studies and it appears that yung'uns who fancy themselves as able multitaskers are in fact just good at deluding themselves.


Which means nothing has changed.

As a young rebel once sang "I hope I die before I get old."

I wonder how he feels today 45 years later...
