I believe I asked for this thread to NOT become a debate about the realness of my relationship. Please respect that.

I also ask that it not also turn into another argument over whether or not sexual fetishes are tied to one's state of being. If you want to have said arguement, please make another thread dedicated to the subject matter.

Also, I feel that shaming my lifestyle (that of choosing to be monogamous) is counterproductive to this thread so I ask that you please refrain from doing that as well. Monogamy can and does work and can last for decades. My grandparents are living proof of this. They aren't wrong in anyway by being solely devoted to only eachother. Besides, if I went about stating that polygamy was wrong, this thread would have exploded into furious replies to that statement.

I think my issues have been resolved so if you have anything positive or supportive to say, I'd like to hear it. Other thoughts and ideas are best left absent from this thread.

ETA: My age is irrelevant. I'm legally an adult, been that way for years, and that's all you need to know.
