Bro Advice: Open Relationships

[pkay]

You do realize that there are so many filipino children fathered by weekend visit us military members that they have an entire demographic of people petitioning the us government for citizenship rights

Sounds like letters didn't tide over everyone

[pandabear]

I'm actually talking about Overseas Filipino Workers. The US military isn't a good example of good LDR. I doubt there's even any family values left in that business. Oh yeah, those fatherless children. They'll probably as useful if not more than the citizens in this country. At least I would hope so.

Whether it is LDR or an open relationship, you'll see each other every 6 weeks; text; call; Skype; write letters. I don't see what's so hard about this.

Many Filipinos work abroad and leave their families for years. Going home only every two or three years. When there was no internet, they only wrote letters that took two weeks to arrive. Called once a month, not too long because it was expensive. They were gone for years, a decade, or two. You only had to sacrifice for 8 months, plus technology - two days to receive a letter, maybe an hour to answer an email, a minute to text/call back. Only in developed countries do I see this problem. I don't get it.

There's a big difference between long-distance relationships that have to be done to help provide for your family and long-distance realtionships between young independent people that aren't that fussed about moving away from each other though. And both are very different to open relationships (which have always ended in arguments for me- really difficult to both want exactly the same thing and not get jealous).

seems like a lot of people think pkay's an asshole but I actually really like him, I dunno, everything he says always seems very sensible if slightly agressive at times, he actually seems like a very decent person. I feel like if I met him in real life he would be nice


makes sense that dfd wouldn't like him though

lol shut up sonika.

[Sonika]

you try to be nice and look what happens


I wasn't even going at dfd she seems cool too


everybody love everybody

Wasn't really thinking too much (lol) last night when I wrote this. I should have taken out open relationship just because I don't see a point in having one except to blow your load on someone and be emotionally stable to another? I was focused on LDR and probably thinking I could save Pkay's relationship since it's only 8 months of sacrifice in this time and age.

So Hyde, yeah, big difference, you're right. I don't even consider open relationship as one. Break up. Fuck everyone. No guilt. Pkay is not young either. He's gone to war, had struggles, coping well, not young. If someone is too young to be in a relationship, don't be in one because it does get serious. But if you really like someone and you're facing an obstacle, man the fuck up and dance with it. Life lessons at an early age strengthen and build a person so they don't keep running away at every struggle. So even if it doesn't work, he can use his life lessons someday. Also, it is a comparison of duration and resilience not so much on why. It is a poor country, obviously.

Oh, the big brunch is kicking in. This is the bacon and egg on toast talking.

For myself it wasn't really the sex I missed, it was more the having someone to listen to me
