TMI Tuesday #200!!!

1. What is the longest you have been in a monogamous sexual relationship? [For the purpose of this question monogamous is defined as no sexual partners that your significant other does (did) not know about.]
12 years. I was with my HS sweetheart and then we got married. And then it didn't last.


2. If your current relationship would fail, do you have a back-up for physical or emotional comfort?
I do and I don't. I have friends and family that I know I could count on. No one really thinks that the relationship that you are in is going to fail so I think it's bad Karma to think badly about the relationship.
However, with that said, you should always have a plan B in the back of your mind. So I guess that contridicts what I said above.


3. Can you be "just friends" with someone when there is an unrequited sexual attraction?
I think that I could "just be friends" with someone that had a thing for me. Could I be "just friends" with someone that I have a thing for? No. I can't. I know that I am an emotional woman and I get wrapped up into things way too easily.


4. In a assumed monogamous sexual relationship have you ever cheated, been cheated upon or been a knowing third party to the infidelity? [For the purpose of this question monogamous is defined as no sexual partners that a significant other does (did) not know about.]

I basically started the relationship with my current boyfriend while still living with my ex. I don't think that I cheated, but the ex may think differently. I never cheated on the ex the entire time in college, through when he enlisted and even when I was going out and he wasn't. The ex used to travel a lot and I honestly, with my entire being, don't think he ever cheated on em.
As for the knowing party to infidelity? yes! It was a HUGE mess. I had two sets of friends. Couple A was in their 40's and were together for 7 years. They lived next to us. Us were my ex and I and another couple. Couple B. Well woman from couple A and man from Couple B were cheating. It all came out at my house on New Year's Eve. It was awful. I should have kicked the Bitch out of my house from Couple A. She had it coming.


5. Historically, what has caused the most arguments in your relationships?
Bonus (as in optional):What do you want from a partner in a long term relationship?
My current boyfriend and I are totally opposites. I mean that. He likes coke and I like pepsi. I like onions and he only likes them raw. He likes sushi and I don't. It could go on and on and on. However, politics is the main source of our arguments. We have come up with the Brushemi clause though. If we are fighting and know it's not going to end well, then we bust out "Brushemi" and then we walk away.
