Topic: If... | |
---|---|
Maybe if you all knew what I was even asking you'd actually understand. I wasn't asking you to give up your recent family for something new. I was asking you to consider the fact that what if there was more than one person out there for you. I have been hurt more than any of you could possibly imagine and it was just a topic I threw out there, hoping to get people to open their minds to the "what ifs?" It wasn't an easy question, no. It deserved thought. But it also deserved an open-minded answer instead of, "well my soulmate would be the man I'm with" or "why would I even consider leaving my family" or "wouldn't that be cheating"? Can't you think outside the box for one single moment? Yes, you'll get hurt. Yes, we've all been hurt. But what if all of that hurt were worth it in the end? And then again, what if it wasn't? I was just trying to get opinions on a topic without trying to make it shallow. That's all. Here is where the definition of open minded needs to be understood.... Open mined means that you are open to listen to others thoughts NOT that you agree with them and go off on a tangent of "what if's" and fantasies.... We read what you wrote and then wrote what we thought/felt, etc.... being closed minded is not giving us credit for even reading and responding... |

I am ne thing but closed minded lady....you don't even know me.... Why are you getting upset? I was pointing out the definitions so that you would see where we are coming from and not take it to heart.. No one was knocking your OP... They were just giving their thoughts that's what threads are for... Why is it you are getting upset and making accussations rather than opening your mind to our thoughts? The glass house analogy comes to mind here... |

I suspect we all got the essence of your OP...we responded... darlinghearted child...tuck YOUR defensive stance back in... it isnt flattering.. |

I was just trying to get opinions on a topic without trying to make it shallow. That's all. I'm the one that said this was cheating: "One was more of a good friend or a good husband and the other was the sweetest lover who just made you tingle all over when he touched you or even looked at you?" It IS cheating to me! And then you say that I'm not being open minded? I answered it honestly. |
