If you check out dpardo's posts from the other thread Okeydoke. I had a feeling it wasn't supposed to be the way it looked on first read. It does help seeing the greater context.

Rei writes: "Oh please, don't play this as if most Christians don't have sex before marriage, either. I can bring up state-by-state statistics on out-of-wedlock pregnancies, if you'd like - if I recall, the south was the worst." I didn't ask for that purpose. The reason I asked is that pre-marital sex is wrong (according to the bible) even if it is done by Christian heterosexual couples. Engaging in sexual relations joins two people on a level that was intended for married individuals. This is one of the reasons that a break-up is so much more devastating to an individual when there was sexual activity involved.

What makes you think that? The only girl that broke my heart, I never had sex with (and we saw each other for a while). Other girlfriends, we were at it like rabbits and I wasn't that bothered.

What else, exactly, do you want? I would like to know what their "secret" to staying together has been? Are they happy? Are they fulfilled? Do they question their behavior?

In the ones that were broken off by them, were you hurt? In the ones that you broke off, were they hurt?

sometimes, sometimes not - never that much and not as much as with the girl I never slept with.

some were, others were not. You seem to be on a bit of a fishing trip to establish your point. However I've already explained that the one I never slept with hurt the most - that negates your point (in my case at least) does it not?

I would like to know what their "secret" to staying together has been? It's an amazing secret, heretofore only know by Freemasons and Shriners. Now, I share it with you. It's called "love". Seriously, dpardo, I'd strongly reccomend you get out there and meet some gay couples. You'll be amazed to discover that the average gay couple is no different from the average straight couple. They bicker, they screw, they laugh, they kiss, they crack dumb jokes at movies, and they annoy their single friends by being happy. Some couples work, some don't. The ones that work, last. There's no secret, no matter what genitals are involved.
Are they happy? Are they fulfilled? Sure. Why would they be in a relationship that long if they weren't?
Do they question their behavior? No. Why would they?

If you can honestly say that you weren't bothered much by those break-ups where you were not the instigator, I will concede that, in your case, my point seems to be negated. But, to the extent that continual sin hardens the heart, you may have felt progressively less hurt as you broke off those relationships. Can you say, with any degree of accuracy, that you know how much hurt the girls that you terminated the relationship with felt?

Is wanking still a sin? If I wank too much will I become evil or find that my personality changes? That's a 100% serious question as it seems a logical extension of what you are saying.

The people in question are smart enough to know that if their relationship is making them both unhappy and leaving them both unfulfilled, then it should be ended. However, to directly answer your question... yes. They are happy and fulfilled.

There are many couples that are unhappily/unfilfilled together for reasons that we don't know. If we had these couples direct input, we could examine it. Do you believe you are knowledgeable enough about these folks that you can speak for them?
