Do you belong to me?
How best can you answer this question asked by your boyfriend

I can't answer that question because I didn't, I do not, and will never will have a boyfriend.

Dunno as I don't want a boyfriend, I want a partner, not a boy.
And...
I will never belong to someone.

Well put, couldn't have said it better!

Now go make sure the fudge is packed.

Any woman I know would respond by telling you to hit the road because that level of maturity is infantile....(my apology to the infants)

See you later, bye bye!

The man I choose to be with wouldn't ask such a question. He will be mature enough and empowered enough to know we do not have ownership over each other.

I think my mother would have replied by peeling whoever asked that of her with a blunt knife.

What a ridiculous thing to even say !

I am not sure where you all come from but to me, belong doesn't mean own.

Of course, the partner I choose does belong to me and so do I belong to her.

Relax guys and gals, just chill.

In a sense we belong to each other while in a relationship. Some folks say he or she is my person. Right?

No!

There is no mistake about the use of "belong" here...and there are many abuse cases where ownership is claimed to justify and support this meaning in relationships...

Of course, Its your choice to become someone else's property...

Relationships must be so different in Ghana...

Ownership in the title is a no for me.
But, as far as belong, I think people do look to belong... to something,
or someone. A sense of belonging can bring many good things. If
my partner asked me if I belong to him, knowing it was heartfelt in a lover’s
sort of way, I’d say, absolutely.

Best of luck.
I'm sure you'll find the man of your dreams.

Only as much as you belong to me and we are beholden to each other.


I would imagine the best you could answer this is "Hey, boyfriend, I'm on a dating site asking questions about our relationship and our feelings, bond, roles, expectations, reciprocity, and communication. Look at all the answers and choose the one you like best."

Other than that, I would imagine my "boyfriend" would prefer I answer the question from my own mind and heart, as asking random strangers might be seen as trying to come up with a BS answer meant to mollify them and keep how I really feel to myself.

I would say, putting that question to anyone would cause them to believe you are a possessive person who could be of a jealous nature, not such a good idea in my opinion. Maybe a different turn of phrase would be more suitable if you were pursuing a serious long term relationship with them.

Welcome to Mingle2 and good luck in your search.

Not in the form of ownership or the right to demand this or that, but ideally in mutually-agreed-upon exclusivity/monogamy when it comes to marriage for the sake of stability for the next generation. Perhaps belong WITH is a better way to think about it.

No man owns a woman!

Not even for a little while?

What’s funny/sad/and true about this simple yet powerful and complex question is something that all you naredowells are seemingly missing the point of! In this world of me too and extreme women’s liberation issues, the simplicity of who’s ***** is this is overshadowed by a false sense of I’m my own boss! When a man is putting his all into and breaking his back to please the woman he loves and dominately saying who’s ***** is this or something to that effect, that’s his expression of commitment to his relationship so he deserves to hear the response from that lucky woman that, it’s your ***** daddy! It’s all your sweet little ***** daddy!
