I sympathize with you Biggles. Trying to find work myself. I apply, apply, apply and nothing is happening. I just finished a masters program so I am planning to go on for my PhD as well. Needless to say, I'm looking at colleges outside of Ireland. Not only is it hard to find work, but the cost of everything here is rising- car tax, energy, school books, etc. Getting to the point where I can't afford to live here anymore! I honestly don't want to leave the country but my options are becoming more limited by the day.
the fact that they have children may be one of the (many) reasons she has remained in the relationship... but of course in my opinion there are ALWAYS options... especially in this case. I don't care if I popped out 10 kids with the guy, there is no way in hell I would want my children around him.
If I knew this woman personally I would reach out to her... for her own sake and for the sake of her children. I am not a trained professional, although I am studying psychoanalytic theory, and I would argue that the psychological hold this man has on his partner most likely continues outside of their intimate activities.
I think both parties require a psychological evaluation. there is definitely some underlying reason why he has this desire to see his partner injured.... and her because there is definitely a drive (perhaps unconscious) which is keeping her in this downward spiral.
Just putting in my two cents. I have no problem meeting with a guy that is attached if their partner knows about their swinging. I am not comfortable however meeting with a man whose partner does not know. To each their own.
I cannot say that has happened to me, but I can imagine it would be quite frustrating!
not to go off topic I hope... but I think it's fair to say that some people enjoy pleasure mixed with a bit of pain. Just because a sexual encounter is more physical/violent than what we would personally prefer does not mean that someone is being forced or coerced to engage in such activities.
Who am I to say that a woman doesn't like to be tied up, gagged, hit, or punched? If that's what she wants then who am I to stop her and say otherwise.
Now, in this scenario I don't think that is the case. There are several reasons why I feel this woman is being abused: 1) she needs to get plastered beforehand to potentially withstand the beatings 2) her husband spoke about the subject without including her at all, and 3) it was kept a "secret" from the original poster and his spouse. If this was 100% her choice, etc. I feel the couple would have discussed it together without one partner or the other obviously dominating the situation. This was kept a secret for a reason and there is obviously some connection between the intoxication and increasing of pain threshold, etc.
That's my 2 cents. When I first read this thread I was saddened... but yesterday evening I thought of this again before bed and became incredibly enraged. What a terrible situation for someone to be in.
holy shit. wow. I'm sorry you had to go through that.... but I'm even more sorry for that woman. I wish she had enough courage to stand up to her husband that is very obviously abusive.
I completely understand why it was difficult to report at the time. I would have to think twice about doing it myself... because as was mentioned above, you could make a report with the police and put yourselves out on the line for this woman and she could choose to not press charges. It's a big risk to take over a woman that obviously has been putting up with that kind of abuse for awhile. If she has children, she may also be less likely to report it.
You could contact the crisis center. I think they would be much more sensitive than the police, but that's just my opinion. There is nothing they haven't heard, trust me. I have several friends that have (unfortunately) had to use their services and they were very understanding.
depends on how well I know the person. If it's my first time with someone I might be a bit self conscious and want the lights off or at least dimmed a bit :-o If I've been fucking you for years though, then lights on all the way... doesn't matter. It's about being comfortable in my opinion.
Another thing to consider is swinging isn't actually going to do anything for your wife's hormones. yes, she might be extra horny due to the pregnancy... but getting her sexual "fix" isn't really going to make those hormones subside. They are still going to be brewing in the morning and it's hardly practical to go swinging 24/7 haha. The raging hormones during pregnancy aren't going to subside no matter how often you have sex. They are constantly going to be elevated.
irish_navy_guy. mmmm he's hott. I'm sure he wouldn't mind building shit and killing bugs on my behalf :mrgreen:
hhmmm what to bring...
1) some family pictures (I would miss everyone!)
2) a sewing kit
3) a cow (good idea meandthewife!)
I have social anxiety. As in, I was clinically diagnosed with it. It's a pain in the ass. It's not just "nervousness" and something that you can snap out of. I hate it when people say "well I get nervous when I meet people for the first time too." What I deal with is 100x worse and it's not just with new people. *sigh* It's terrible.
There's my secret.
shybutwilling1- I am afraid of balloons too! I have never met anyone that shared this same fear. I hate the noise they make when they pop especially. I cannot blow up balloons, hold them for extended periods of time, and hate it when people mess around with them in case they pop. !
1) I'd masturbate :wank:
2) I'd have sex with a woman :doggy:
I've always wondered what sex and masturbation feels like for a man.
ummmm....
- my favorite is a tattoo parlor... after getting a tattoo by the artist hahaha :devil:
I've squirt onto the face of several partners. It was by their request. It doesn't particularly do anything for me, but I was happy to fulfill that fantasy for them if that's what they wanted. :evil2:
Some women may or may not be comfortable with it though. just like anything else.
