RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

uMad?
Trust? Where does that come in? I want to let my wife fuck who she wants to. What I would trust her for is not running off with another guy who may have a bigger cock or something. I trust her enough to say "hey, we don't need to keep sex within the marriage" She would trust me enough the same way. Back to self-esteem. I have enough self-esteem to let her go fuck other guys. I would not be worried a better looking guy will take her from me. In fact; open marriages are built on more trust and self-esteem than monogamous marriages.

Well if you clearly don't have enough respect for your supposed wife what happens when during her round trip of hanky panky she discovers someone she likes more than you and runs off with this guy?

Respect now? Monogamy has such a silly sacred status. Let's all thank religion.
Assuming we don't have children: Then good for her. Sure it will suck ass for me but that's life. If we were married and she found someone she liked more than me... forcing her to stay with me is cruel.
Assuming we have children: Well then she is a selfish bitch for leaving her children. The kids will probably be better off without her.
If she fucks a guy and likes him I wouldn't give a shit if they became fuck buddies. Hell I might become friends with him. Unless he is one of those, "Dude I'm fucking your wife you faggot!" types... then hopefully my wife doesn't like him because I would probably leave her.

I'm not polygamous. I don't want multiple wives/husbands. I just want to be allowed to fuck other women and my wife to have the same freedom. Thus I am polyamorous.

Re: Taking a stance on things
I don't believe in owning people. If my (imaginary) partner was attracted to people other than me, that's cool. With 7 billion people in the world, it's a bit crazy to expect him to only ever be interested in me. I would feel a bit awkward about the concept of him sleeping with them though. I'm still working on some insecurity issues.

Basically this, except for the insecurities. Never really had a problem with those.
"Ask them no more questions, never hear them lying"
People say the problem with me is I have psychotic tendencies and care not about other human beings I don't like and or know. So?

Re: Taking a stance on things
With love, I don't really think it's as simple as "it's okay if you wanna fuck other guys honey, just still be with me." A relationship like that wouldn't last long or really work at all.

Have you ever done research? Check out the user "Lawsome101" on youtube. FUCK he closed his account.
Well Will Smith is in such a relationship and has been for a while.
Actual statistics on both sides of the argument are minimal.

Re: Taking a stance on things
I don't buy this postmodernist polyamory shit. I'm sorry, but jealousy is part of the human nature, and everyone feels at least a little bit jealous when the person they've shared their life with capers off with a stranger.
Training yourself to not be jealous is like training yourself to stop eating food or washing.
Jealousy is good. It protects the relationship and makes you say, "The fuck you doing, bitch? We've been together for years and have kids and a past together, and you go running after the first dick you see?"
Let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes common as grass.

Too bad monogamy is often not considered natural in humans

Jealous is just insecurity. It isn't good. Of course people will feel jealous every so often. I wouldn't compare it to eating food or washing. That's silly. Jealousy harms relationships.

Justified jealousy doesn't. Sure, it's bad if your jealousy rises every time your wife checks a guy out, but if she's been missing for days, lying like shit when talking to you, and generally expresses lack of interest in you, then you've all the reasons in the world to be jealous. It's a prompt to repair things in your relationship.
Also, don't expect me to believe every single site out there that has "science" in its name. You need more than that to convince me.

If all of that is happening, you can skip the jealousy and go straight to being really worried about a blatant lack of honesty and trust. 'Cause that's some serious relationship breaking problems, regardless if it's monogamous or polyamorous or anything else really.

Nah. In Shippony's case, it's the horny college student case of "I want to get laid so badly I'll support any view that is for indiscriminate, promiscuous sex."

Hate Hate Hate... actually I personally wouldn't go around fucking... I'd just prefer the freedom to do so. I can go to a bar and easily get laid. I don't need to support alternate marriage for that.

This.

I obviously don't and if you did that'd be retarded... but no one else but me is putting out supporting opinions other than their own. Me saying, "der I'm right" and you saying, "der I'm right" will get us no where.
