As for Prez Obama, well Im a radical so I believe he is just gonna keep doing what politicians do. Serve the interest of the wealthy, corporate elite, which paid to put him into power And keep indebting the taxpayers & their unborn grandkids to the teeth by protecting the wealth of the rich and paying for CEO bonuses.
Mr. Obama is just a manager & all managers have their real bosses.

About getting what you want, just ask and be receptive to the possibility of being told no.
My question to you is why is marriage so important in the first place, since when do you need a piece of paper or some ceremony to be with someone?

"Titles" in a relationship + -
Also, if a person wants you and wants to only be with u but doesn't want to actually ask you out, for fear of feeling like a relationship was pushed upon them, what do you do about that? like how do u know if u two are actually in a relationship and make it official without saying the words?
The suspense is killing me!! lol

At our Inside The Mind of The Opposite Sex event the other night, an interesting question came.
Which would bother you more - If your partner emotionally cheated on you (without physical consumation) or if they physically cheated on you and hooked up with someone else.
The women all agreed that they would be more likely to forgive a man for sleeping with someone else before they'd forgive him for forming any kind of emotional bond with another woman. The men had the exact opposite response. They said it would be harder for them to get past the fact that their partner slept or got physical with another man. http://moxieblog.typepad.com/moxieblo...
Dominant or Submissive? - Why Does Her Man Try to Act Like a P-rn Star?
Name: Laurel | Location: New York , NY |Question: My boyfriend and I have been together for about two years. Our sex life has always been great. We have sex at least three times a week. We both agree that it's important to keep our sex life feeling new so we each try to introduce new things in to it. We've used porn, vibrators, tantra, massage. You name it. The other night I was giving him a bj and he asked if he could come in my face. I don't know why but his request bothered me. Isn't that a sign that a man wants to degrade the woman? I told him no, so he came in my mouth like he always does but he asked me after why I refused him his request. I kind of lied and told him I didn't want to get it in my eye. I've watched porn films where the guy comes in the woman's face and always been grossed out by it. Why would a man want to do that?|Age: 28 http://moxieblog.typepad.com/moxieblo...

We say things like, "It is mine." Or, "He or/ she is mine." We can take ownership over people, but look how that is going. Phrases like these are common and, what I say, keeping us at the racist, bigoted, chauvinist or sexist folks that we currently are.
These last sentiments may be looked upon as radical. You may find discomfort with them, also. You are not alone. Yet, I request that you continue reading, nevertheless.
People, humans, folks have been taught by previous generations to operate in a monogamous manner; To take ownership over people. Whether it be taking ownership over our platonic loved ones or folks we have a bodily or physical relationship with. What's more, we have built religions in which enforce this ideal. So, we make it mean that it is right.
I say when we evolve we will move past jealousy or the way we say it is supposed to look like. A inquiry like yours, Moxieinthecity, will not need be posted. For it will be agreed upon that sharing our loved ones, platonic, mental or physical loved ones.
I recognize these are obscure words being written by a woman, but I sick of jealousy. It does not proliferate happiness. My god does not get jealous nor does he practice monogamy (platonic or otherwise).
I'll admit, men, that I am not like most other women, in this sense. Women, please reply with well thought out response. Impulsive anger is not what I am looking for.
Alright, I'm done.

Yes, she told me about it. Weeks after. If you had nothing to hide, u wouldnt have ne thing to be nervous about, right? She didnt know how'd I react. If ur friends with some one, even an ex theres nothing to cry about. Also, you would tell whoever ur with b4 it happens. You dont do something like that, if u have feelings for some1 and then keep it to urself for a few weeks. Thats what makes me distrust her. Thats suspect. She says nothing happened but really, how would I know? Im a very secure man, and I hate to 2nd guess who Im with, if your going out with someone for a month and a half youre just starting to find out who they are.

Personally, I hang out with most of my exes, some of them pretty frequently, and I pretty much expect that anyone I date is hanging out with some of her exes too, and don't expect to be told every time it happens. On the other hand, I also don't expect anyone I'm dating to deliberately decide *not* to tell me she's hanging out with her ex, or to be scared to do so, so the fact that your date did & felt that (and that you got mad) is proof enough that you two aren't working with the same cultural assumptions that I and my friends are.
However, consider the possibility that you and your date have different cultural assumptions from each other, too.
Point is, asking such a question of a general audience like this... don't believe any specific answers you get. Those answers will apply only to the specific assumptions and subcultures of the people giving them.

I don't think it's a matter of saying 'no, you can't do that'. You have to continue to attract her and show her that it has to be you only. The hippy-dippy approach ends up doomed with you feeling like an ass couple years later! If your woman can't respect your reasonable requests then it's time to improve the situation.

Before that episode he served time in jail for leading the police on a high-speed chase through three or four states. He was known for all kinds of things, primarily being the hardest working man in show business.
Their marriage wasn't legal, as she found out when he died.

RE: Hanging ot w/ ur Ex? + -
If she was just chilling w/the ex, I would say don't over think it b/c they could have been friends before becoming bf and gf; and really you can't tell her what to do. Just learn to trust her and keep working on your relationship. It is hard to get over someone you really cared about. The time frame within which she tells you she was hanging out w/him should not get you worried either. Like Paul said, she might have just been worried about how you would react.
If she cared about you and really was interested in continuing what you two started, out of respect for you, she should've allowed a little bit more time to pass before hanging out with the x. If she was in a long-term relationship, it takes a long time to really get 'over' someone. If she was in a short-term relationship, then she should definitely not have needed 'closure.'
But it sounds like you two are starting on the wrong foot anyhow. I would suggest you just drop if you are going to continue second guessing her actions and words.
