I just don't understand normal people.
I have once again come to this conclusion while talking to my flatmate who was trying to convince me that being friends with your boyfriend is a bad idea.

"Like when you want to hang out with other boys, doesn't he get upset?"
"Noooo. Because he's my friend and he trusts me."
"Well, okay. Of course he's fine with

Yay!

Much appreciated! It should be duly noted that you rock as well, seeing as how your stupid flatmates might have temporarily dulled your senses.

Thankees! *rocks*

You're my favourite Nazi in the world, you know. :D

What is up with that? Seriously. I remember when I was dating Kristján and he still lived in Akureyri, I often got jealous when he was with his friends. But that was only because I couldn't be there with them. I didn't care if he was with girl- or boy friends because I trusted him 100% to be faithful to me, and as far as I know, he was.
I think trust is the most important ingredient in a relationship, which is why I got so hurt when Kristján hinted that he thought I might be cheating on him. And which is why I always get so angry when I hear about people cheating on their SOs. :/

Yes, I thinking cheating on a partner is pretty much one of the most disrespectful things you can do. For one thing, people should be more open and honest with each other, and for another, they shouldn't let their hormones control them like some crazy teenagers!

Not only my guy-friends rock, but their girlfriends/wives as well, for trusting them. I've never been accused of trying to steal someone's boyfriend for going to the mall for some ice cream with him or something. Because, you know, ice cream is a powerful seduction tool. XD

What do you mean? Ice cream is like, the ultimate seduction tool. Are you telling me you would not fall immediately in love with a person offering you ice cream?

I was about to make a joke.
Then I realised that it might not be all that dumb at all.
I shall try this the next time I go on the prowl.

Normal people tend to be stupid about relationships, yes. It's sad. :/

[miriamg]

At least it made me realise that I'm pretty well off, because I've got more potential to be happy in a marriage than people who are, well... stupid.

Your thoughts resonate with mine.

Just this afternoon (!) I dreamed that I was in some degenerate party (lots of booze and I was drinking obsessively D-:) and I found a couple of my married coworkers in bed with other women... Somehow I felt very betrayed by them, even though it wasn't my buisiness. Then they tried to get me to keep quiet, and I demanded a raise. ;-)
I've always thought that if ever I was in a relationship and I genuinely wanted somebody else more, I would break up with the one I was with, take a break to think about things and then maybe start something with the other one. I hate infidelity because it is a breach of trust, and if you cannot trust someone's promises - you don't have anything worth having.
When you have something worth having, you don't even need to promise.
I sometimes wonder if one of the reasons why I'm always single is because I'm responsible... Some of the relationships I know of seemed to start with something very stupid.
Then again, I was born...

[miriamg]

Ugh! I hope I'll never be in a situation where I have to keep quiet about somebody cheating. Well, if I didn't know the people well, I'd probably conclude that it's none of my concern and continue going about my business. But if the person being cheated on was my friend... Sounds like a nasty situation.

Just because you're the result of a silly situation doesn't mean that you have to create something equally silly to keep the human race alive. But I think you already knew that. :P

Oh, and yes - Our male friends are friggin' awesome.
I'd feel as if something were missing from my life if I couldn't be good friends with my boys. I'd probably have to go girly or something. *weeps at the thought*

There are subtle differences between the way boys and girls think, and I think that once you understand how the other sex thinks, you are very wise. And how are you going to do that if you only have sexual relationships with them?

We need each other more than hormonally driven people realise.

I regret the years of my early life when every male in my life who wasn't related to me was a jerk. It made me think they were all like that. No wonder I had the occasional lesbian tendencies... ;-D

[miriamg]

I sort of think it's normal to be annoyed and maybe even disgusted by the opposite sex when you're a kid. Although there are exceptions, I suppose.
Maybe it's because boys and girls develope differently, so it's hard for them to communicate properly until they're in their teens and have achieved the same level of maturity. I don't know. I'm not a psychologist.
But even at the stages when I hated almost all boys, I realised that not all boys could possibly be all bad, because my male relations are nice. :3

We need each other more than hormonally driven people realise.

You are so right! Even if we ignore the fact that we can't reproduce without the other sex, as a society we simply need both genders to achieve balance. In a way, we complete each other, in so many more ways than sexual.
