We're addicted to that chemical reaction, we resort to our withdrawals and crying and bullshit and possible violent outburst during our detox.

*wank, wank* Newflash: Explaining how the internal combustion engine works doesn't do shit to help someone learn how to drive a car, brother. That and this sounds like something I'dve written in 2007. Ugh, what a bad year. I apologize.

Just as respectable? Depends on the status of those
XvX numbers, no? If our homeslice
Gucci has 5 successful threesomes with his wife, we can suggest that he's a horny bastard
but probably dedicated to his marriage. If Joe Snuffy has 5 threesomes with 10 strangers, he's just a horny bastard. I can respect both their choices assuming they use safer sex practices and offer to split the Chinese takeout costs.
And failure to take ownership of a relationship is the social equivalent of that tacky country song,
"Jesus, Take the Wheel." You might not own the other person, but you own the relationship. You have vested interest in the joint project.
I figure we are what we do... and your philosophy here seems self-defeating and kinda... well... like something an acquiesce-ridden pussy would adopt. Unless you're just fucking strangers, of course... in which case it's hardly debatable as to the interests involved.
We don't own our partners, but we damn sure own our relationships. We all have expectations and rules. The line may lay on the ground at different distances for different people, but there is always a line that is set and can be crossed.
