I have a very happy and very open relationship.
I have also been getting mean little emails regarding this fact. Can someone tell me why people even within our own little forum here have a problem with my own decision?? I'm not ranting, just curious as to the reasons why they feel so strongly as to send me nasty email.
*This of course does not apply to those of you who know me, and graciously put up with me day after day. :-)

I don't see why you should be getting nasty emails, my Dearest One. If you and your Husband can live with your open relationship that people (either in our Community or the Straight community shouldn't be judging you! (and this from the Old Married Otter!)
It's none of their business whether you and he decided to live an open or monogamous relationship. It's yours.
Tell them all to go take a flying leap and Blessings, Dear One.

whatever kind of relationship that works for 2 unrelated, consenting adults should be their business, and their business alone. not their neighbors, the church, the government....no one else. what works for some may not work for others. but when people get in your face and tell you're wrong for being who you are, they are the ones with the problem. we all get the nasty little emails from the small-minded bigots who apparently have nothing better to do but pass judgment on others. me? I'm a lesbian who has a very happy, committed, monogamous relationship. I don't care what others think. we are are happy.

I don't know you, but I know you're an adult who's fully capable of making your own decisions. Emails you're getting from people are probly just a bunch of fools who are jealous you can get more action from an hour on a message board than they've gotten since they hit puberty.
Take it as a compliment and keep living your life the way that keeps you happy.

I don't find it your business whether others think what you do is wrong or not. Of course, the problem is that they like to try to make their beliefs your business, and it is sad that they have nothing better to do with their time. I would suggest growing a thicker skin. Right or wrong, you have a right to be yourself. You must face whatever consequences of whatever decisions you make just like I must face the consequences of the decisions I make.
Please don't let these other people bother you. If they harass you, block their addresses or report them.

I personally don't think that your lifestyle is wrong and I'm happy for you being in such a wonderful relationship. I think that the people sending those emails are either jealous because they aren't in a happy relationship or they have nothing better to do than criticize you.

It's not wrong. You're not wrong. Your hubby's not wrong.
If your life and relationship(s) work for you, go tell the people sending you e-crap to take a flying leap. If any of them are near me in NJ, let me know. I'm cranky, I have no chocolate in the house, and I need an excuse to get violent.
Purrs and hugs!

Have you ever asked the question of yourself: Is it my lifestyle, or is it my personality that people actually are objecting to? See, I have no clue as to who YOU as a person are, so I can't actually say what may or may not be objectionable. So then that's why YOU need to ask his question of yourself first before anything else.

Well, I hope you know it's not me sending you those emails.
I make it a habit to keep my personal opinions out of others bedrooms, because I know I wouldnt' want their noses or their opinions in mine.

If you are happy I have no problem with your lifestyle, but honestly if I did I hope you would tell me to **** off. What you do is nobody business but yours & your husbands

You sound absolutely terrible. An open relationship!? What an affront to moral America. And for that reason, I salute you. Block the losers, and don't let other people judge your life.
