AIBU to think Friends With Benefits, is a bit tacky?

[brasty]

Maybe I am? But this seems to be much more common amongst young people. It all just makes me feel a bit "disgusted of Tunbridge Wells".

Ahh the feminists are out

You say that's like it's a bad thing. Now I'm really hurt.

How many children do you have? One. Does it matter?

My problem with screwing around is that it is disgusting and whoreish, wanton and indulging the ego. I mean do you charge? Lol.

How am I screwing around? I was with my husband 15 years. I have been with one man since.

You might want to try a little harder with the ready wit.

Vibrators are an option you know.

Absolutely. We love playing with them

Wtf is 1950s about commitment to a man in a relationship?! I'm talking about equality, give and take.
Setting your own selfish shit aside and giving as well as taking. Please tell me what is so hard to understand about that?

You choose to insult indirectly, I choose to be direct when faced with such ridiculousness. There is no difference other than I'm not full of b.s.

OK, to take your point in turn:

1. I have not insulted you at all. What have I called you? I merely asked you to apologise to another poster. You can say what you like to me: I'm not fussed.
2. I have no children. WTF that has to do with anything, I don't know!
3. I don't charge. Do you?
4. I don't want a vibrator. I find the men in my life do it better.

Refusing to commit to a relationship and compromise and be genuinely selfless and loving to a man, are you actually taking pride in that?

Fuck yeah. I have my own salary too. And I vote.

And here I thought we were in 2017 and women could make choices. I didn't realise we'd slipped back in time

be genuinely selfless and loving to a man

Your words @danitruth. Read The Surrendered Wife. You'd enjoy it.

The thing is though having a FWB means you're NOT 'screwing around' you're having regular sex with the same person

Lol this is too funny.

Indeed. But we're laughing at you pet, not with you.

Danitruth hasn't been on MN for long, and is clearly a GF.

Ah not the case my dear, if only you could understand.

I must admit to being frightfully curious as to what the number of children anyone has has got to do with their sex life

Have you had a kebab and puked on a lamp post yet?

Lol this is too funny.

Sounds like you've run out of reasoned argument.

LOL to you too.

Yes absolutely Red FWB is not screwing around as I understand it.
I'm lost for words tbh.
I will never be judgemental of someone's decisions because I've not walked in their shoes. Life is complicated and stressful for all of us, married or not.
Marriage is not insurance against the worst... if only.......

To be honest following Dani's sermon I am most disappointed in my own whoredom.

I mean 2 guys since 2001. I am RUBBISH at it

Buttons = pressed.
Ah but no seriously, we are all women and we will not be controlled by men or love or anything because we are strong women who choose not to love and let's do what we want and our children shall follow suit. Amen.

As if you've 'lolled' even once. You're too busy spitting venom. But I suppose it distracts from whatever's making you so dreadfully unhappy in your own life.

All the grinning faces pass you by?

I feel really sorry for you. I imagine something major must be missing for you to be so unpleasant just for the sake of it. I hope you manage to find whatever it is.

Maybe a FWB?

let's do what we want and our children shall follow suit

Pretty much. I teach my daughter about safety and consent. So I do hope she follows that, yes.

Come on JH; bit of effort, please. Shall we have a fiver on who can do more in 2018?

squoosh, I am entertained by your pitiful and drole interjections. Truly a concise commentator of truth on others. here here.

Shall we have a fiver on who can do more in 2018?

DONE!

Interesting that whilst professing to be such an arbiter of morals Dani advocates feeding someone out of date milk as "revenge" over a misdemeanour...
