I have been produced by these SoBs. That was damage enough.

Firetruck me if i pass on these Genes they gave me. (do better)
My father was 56 - you think his juice was worth a damn when he committed that crime?

God am i glad every Relationship can be replaced/substituted - by a Void.

At least as an adult you have a Choice :) which if any relationships are wanted.

I replace your "No' with a "Yes".

Typhoon, here's a hug, babe. I feel your anger and your pain. More than you know.

This reminds me I need to go replace my Burn out. Light bulbs.. in the upstairs hallway and check my batteries in my smoke detector..
remember boys and girls you should always replace your batteries in your smoke detector every 6 months.. this service announcement has been brought to you by the makers of PhD.. the sauce with a little bit of kick lol

SM8 is correct. So is TMommy. Ciretom is partly right, but didn't say enough to be clear. SitkaRains made good points. UnknownRomeo is crude, but on the right track.

The fact that someone declares that their "mate" should consider themselves to be replaceable, means that they never actually committed to that PERSON to begin with.

Another way to put this is, if your mate is replaceable in your thinking, then they aren't your mate, and never were.

They are your employee. Or your paid-in-kind, TEMPORARY live-in sex partner. If that's all you want, fine and dandy, put it in your profile and write it into your vows as required. Just don't pretend you want a real mate.

In my experience and observation, EVERY time someone declared that their official main squeeze had to remember they were replaceable, it was THEY who were the inevitable and direct cause of the demise of the relationship. Every time.

I have to disagree.. everyone is mortal, and therefore everyone is indeed able to leave and life go on,, ie,, replacable

I think the main point of contention is in the context taken by the word replacable

its like saying we 'need' someone or we 'want' someone, people take different contexts


I would be spooked to know someone didnt think they could replace me, I mean, what if tomorrow I am hit by a car

I would prefer to think that maybe someone was CHOOSING not to replace me, but thats different, imho, from feeling as if Im irreplacable,,,

I don't disagree with anything you said, msharmony. However, it's clear to me that the OP's statement tone was specifically directed towards warning mates to behave as though they are under review at all times. Not that he recognized that we are all human, and therefore mortal.
