Even if you were playing devil's advocate in the first post the one above was yesterday.

The devil's advocate was the one posted late yesterday. I do not think it is a good idea due to the appearances of evil, as well as putting yourself in a place of temptation as others have mentioned. I think I stated this several times in the fact I agreed with Abbie and with Barb.

It appears I have a difficult time conveying my written messages and/or that folks see me through their own assumed presuppositions. Maybe a little of both.

Blessings, Rhoni

Guess we were confused because yesterday you said you started the thread playing the devil's advocate, then made the statement you thought it was alright.

I suggest next time if you are "asking for a friend" that you state that.

Carry on.

Pretty sure that I didn't see through my own assumed presupposition on this one. Incidentally, I asked you to elaborate on this comment on another thread, which you didn't bother to do. Edward was also wanting further explanation, which you didn't give.

Care to explain your thoughts on this?

You don't have to be married to cuddle...and one difficult thing to being single is not getting enough hugs, touches, & kisses. You get so used to not having them that you get cranky and anti-social. Well at least I do. I'd rather just have a lover right now than a husband. I need pampered, and spoiled, not taken for granted and ignored. I need some romance.

PO,

I have never ignored your questions or Anglin's. I see no issue here unless you want my definition of a "Lover". A person who you love and loves you back and would sit on a couch and cuddle, i.e., put his arms around you and nuzzle into your neck during the commercials. Marriage is not something I am ready for nor do I know if I will ever be ready again. I have had a bad experience with it and don't want to repeat the experience.

Do all of you think I am a slut and want muliptle sexual encounters without being married? That is what you all treat me like. I gave all that stuff up years ago. Would you like me to list those I have had sex with so you can give them a phone call and ask them if it was as good for them as it seems to be for all of you?

Rhonda

You are taking "lover" out of the normal context and, once again, put yourself at a disadvantage to be understood the way you would like to be.

Your last paragraph wasn't necessary, as you were the one digging the hole - as usual - not me.

My only question would be - how long do you just "cuddle" with a lover during commercials? That doesn't make sense to me.

Rhonda, I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't have any "assumed presuppositions."

I do think you post too fast, and sometimes, perhaps not often, but sometimes regret it.

I do think you tell too much of your business on the WORLD WIDE WEB, where everybody and their granddad can read.

By the same token, I do think you have a kind heart, and would like to someway, somehow do and be everything you were sanctified to do and be.

But all of what is right is often hidden behind the rush to post/not pausing to consider the outcome, the caustic manner in which it is posted, and the past which yet haunts you.

And please do not tell me I don't know you as well as I think I do...we both know that isn't true.

I pray for you every day, and for all of our differences, I do care very much about what happens to you.

I well remember your sound advice many moons ago regarding a past hurt in my life, and when I followed it, God freed me from the pain of the memory.

So today I pray you will listen to me because this is posted in godly love.

Barb, My hurts are deep and my anger is to the point of hate. I need to be freed from the present...not the past as that is over and done with more than you all seem to think.

I do appreciate your prayers and I listen to what applies and file in 13 the things that do not. I do understand that you love me and wish the best as I do you.
