How much chance do you stand to be number 1 with your RW?
« on: May 30, 2013, 06:50:48 PM »
I came across an interesting remark in ML's reply to Werebear's recent request to ask a RW (preferably one from Moscow) a question about his situation with a RW (presumably from Moscow) to whom he is writing:

Quote
it's true you will never be number one with your gal; you will be way down the line after her children, parents and maybe brothers and sisters.

What are your thoughts on this?

Well duh . . . just read my words that you quoted !!!   8)

Sorry, I am feeling a little silly tonight.
Closed on a property sale this afternoon and then went celebrating with some male friends.
And missing my Ochka.
A beautiful woman is pleasant to look at, but it is easier to live with a pleasant acting one.

A friend was driving.
A policeman pulled us over.
When he walked up to the door, the driver said:
"I'll have large fries and a milkshake."

The policeman asked the driver to get in the police cruiser and took him away.

Someone else had to drive me home.

What's that all about??

Ah, Ochka is missing, I was curious why you all of a sudden started commenting on my posts about bed jumping and sending leather dresses jokes. :crackwhip:///Hopefully she is going to be back soon...

My ex-husband was my number one, as the Bible says... but we didn't have kids.

No, not for a month.

She has only been gone for a few days . . . and already my arm is hurting.

Didn't they teach you in Sunday school that you go blind if you keep doing it?   Oh did you mean from typing?...   :-*

To Ukraine to visit with family for a month.

I think the story is in my "ML and Ukrainian Women."

Chances are slim to nothing.
Kids are No 1. I mean if we have to choose between husbands and kids.

Please rank dogs and cats relative to husbands also.

And no bone jokes.

I don't think this is about choosing who you gonna pull out of fire first, I think it's about everyday life.

How much chance do you stand to be number 1

I think there is an ebb and flow to life and such things change over time. After the honeymoon phase has passed comes the reality of life, especially if kids are involved. There were years, good ones, where we spent a lot of time with the tasks of raising daughters. Such things take teamwork with both parents on the same team and as you only get children for a few years, and while there is no such thing as a picture perfect family, we tried to make them and family number one.

After college/university we transitioned into getting 2 of the 3 married off (taking dowry offers on the remaining one, 30% special thru the end of June) and in more recent times we've finally seen some opportunities to do more of the "us" stuff and God willing that will continue. Both of us try to live as if the other spouse is more important than ourselves and as normal human beings that doesn't always happen, but when it does the chemistry is incredible.

it's true you will never be number one with your gal; you will be way down the line after her children, parents and maybe brothers and sisters.

Her children will be the number one, beyond all doubts. Parents and lovers are negotiable. Brothers, sisters, friends and pets can be safely taken out of  equation.

I think children are number one to any normal person. That's why i don't want men with children. Cuz i'd always be number two :P If it were my children, i could handle that, but since it's somebody else's children, who on top of that wouldn't even live with us full time and are heavily influenced by some third person, that's not very good.

So, are you already looking for a replacement?
