Would you do it?

Ok, I'm going to agree with you folks that if a couple was enjoying a traditional marriage and all of the sudden one spouse brought up this arrangement, it would most likely be a good reason to hit the marital panic button. Totally understandable!
Speaking for myself, with the right man, this is something I would bring up early on in the relationship just to see where he stands on the subject. And if I really, really liked him, I wouldn't necessarily dump him if he vehemently objected.

But again, the odds of me finding someone:

A) compatible with me

B) willing to put up with my numerous and varied idiosyncrasies

C) as in to bad 70's **** as I am

D) who can sing a Johnny Horton tune in its entirety

E) who loves to smooch on a cold, rainy day

F) I'm still thinking about smooching

G) who has never killed, wanted to kill, pretended to kill or plotted to kill a polar bear

H) who thinks my tractor's sexy

I) who would humor me and let me serve lefse at Thanksgiving dinner...and eat it!

J) who wouldn't interrupt me when I'm watching "Family Guy" or "Ghost Adventures"

K) who would love me even when my Vikings beat his team out in the play-offs

L) who would take out the garbage

M) who would let me sleep on the right side of the bed

N) who thinks plaid Vikings pajama pants are cute, as well as nerdy glasses

O) that isn't a serial killer

P) who knows my favorite color, flower, holiday, seaon and my eye color

Q) who won't yell at me if I get in a fender bender after buying a new pair of shoes

R) who will take me on a corn field maze date extraordinaire!

S) who is as good at cuddling nude in a sleeping bag with me as emkay is

T) who not only understands my love for black Sharpies, but nurtures that love as well

U) who doesn't think I'm a complete geek for watching Adult Swim

V) who would teach me how to shoot a gun

W) who would make mercury stop picking on me!!!!

X) that actually read through this entire list

Y) Where was I going with this?

Z) Oh yeah....who would be open to a "don't ask, don't tell" week vacation.

Are slim to none.

I was thinking that the character from the show Dexter was looking to be perfect until i got to O... What if he's a good serial killer that only kills murderers?

Oh, vigilantes are a-ok in my book.

Many of you have stated that this prospect wouldn't work for you because you want to be with someone so crazy about you and you so crazy for them that the mere thought of you being with another would drive them over the edge. I completely see where you're all coming from with regards to that. That's the kind of passion that sells movies, launches ships and moves mountains.

It's the elusive spark we all yearn to find.

However, I just want to add that when that level of passion IS found and you ARE so crazy about the one you love that the idea of them being with another would send you careening over the edge......when it does happen, that's exactly where you fall....

And a part of you dies. Horribly.

That's all I have to say about that.

'Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all. ~ Lord Tennyson

"You cannot find peace by avoiding life." ~ Virginia Woolf

"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived." ~ William Parrish (meet Joe Black movie)
