I was curious to hear your take on Emily's hotnes and Chantal's weight gain and you did not dissapoint!<br /><br />ps- once I finally watched my backed up DVR (with all that was boring to fast forward, went by in record time) I have one thing I needed to say. That biatch Stacey from Boston gives all east coast girls a bad name!!! I swear when a chick from Boston gets put on a show the go through this checklist: accent- check, overly mentions you are from Boston- check, total b$tch- check... slightly underclassy and looks like every movie about a lower class boston neighborhood? Well lets get her on the show! Not all east coast chicks are annoyingly outspoken and arrogant. There is always truth to every stereo type but I promise you there is a big population out there from boston (I would like to include myself) that actually are NOT like that!! Just want to back up my east coast non-annoying counterparts who are keeping it classy:)Bettynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-46779791430040967682011-03-31T12:36:21.797-05:002011-03-31T12:36:21.797-05:00DP, great post as usual. For "R" above,...DP, great post as usual. For "R" above, my sister was married 13 years, has a special needs daughter and found a really great guy. He loves both her kids SOOO much. My thoughts are that "real" men don't blame you or the children for thier flaws and if they can't handle the responsibility then they leave sooner rather than later. Good luck with the dating thing...you deserve to be happy and your children CAN be loved by another man that is not thier dad. Just be open to the idea of them getting more love in thier life and yours.<br />Not sure if I agree on the whole cheating thing. My "advice" is if you want to cheat have the respect to end your relationship/marriage first before the actions take place. There are also emotional affairs that can damage a relationship more than sexual affairs. Both men and women are at fault in this. Also, are your reasons for cheating selfish? If so then end what you have! I can be a flirt, but since I am happily married, there are boundaries to even flirting. We are always responsible for our own actions and the thing that ticks me off is when soemone cheats and trys to blame the other person for "puching them away" End it and move on!! Whew, glad I got that off my chest (and no DP it's not a very big chest) Thanks again for the humor today, Kim in NevadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-35178853699782048542011-03-30T16:42:42.758-05:002011-03-30T16:42:42.758-05:00MH, you just cracked me up.

Shoot me an email at dp010835@gmail.com and I'll elaborate. I think you're assertion that you'll 'never have a date again' is off base, but I can imagine it's difficult. <br /><br />anon, your point is well taken. My scenario was one purposely crafted to make the point that the affair could not be discovered without a disclosure. The bigger point that I was trying (poorly) to make is that infidelity cannot simply be thrown into one big box with the end of a marriage as the only solution. People cheat for different reasons and not all of them are a one-sided selfish obsession with sex. I feel differently about cheating in a dating relationship, by the way. Thanks for the feedback . . . and the high fives.

I totally agree with everything you say (minus one point- which I'll speak to below). People have to make everything so complicated and over think everything. And the kissing comment? Really if you can have an emotional connection with someone- the physical stuff usually comes naturally and that's the easy part. Sex- easy. But actually wanting to be around someone for more than 3 hours- not always so easy!<br />I would agree w/ you on the one time affair thing; HOWEVER, what if this comes to light years later? I dated someone many years ago who never told me of a one time cheating incident b/c he knew it would never happen again. Fast forward 2 years and I found out.<br />Then you have the hurt of finding out the cheating AND the fact that someone couldn't be man enough to tell you about it at the time or didn't think your relationship could handle something like that. I know men need respect and woman want love but that is insanly disrespectful. And he never thought it would come up. ever. But b/c it did, it was way worse than if I would have found out at the time.<br />Thoughts on that?<br />Either way- I love that people are sending a stranger these questions. It speaks highly of you that they trust your advice and are apparently the words of wisdom of every straight man in the US :) high fives all around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-91463535691110128222011-03-30T08:06:48.507-05:002011-03-30T08:06:48.507-05:00Great post, DP!

However, you pretty much summed it up while at the same time mixing in enough humor to still make me laugh. Trying to put my 2 cents in and follow up on your advise would be like asking a group of ladies after and Elvis concert if they would like to hear me sing a few songs for them as well. Anyway, let me end my post by pointing out my favorite lines from this weeks post:<br /><br />"Eventually, the puppy will call Strawberry."<br /><br />"Like Watergate or cruising for gay sex in a Minneapolis airport restroom, it’s not the act that gets a person in trouble, it’s the cover up."<br /><br />"There’s nothing more frustrating for a guy than doing a lot of tatting and never seeing any tits."<br /><br />-MHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-62343905941069388532011-03-30T07:22:06.539-05:002011-03-30T07:22:06.539-05:00Wow, women really sent in these types of questions...Wow, women really sent in these types of questions??

Honesty is a biggie for me & finding out about a lie later on always hurts more than knowing the truth to start with. <br />I've learned that being straight forward with my hubby is the best way to get results, he doesn't take hints well & sometimes he out right forgets what I tell him straight on. <br />No one is perfect(including me) and marriage is not a relationship game we play in high school!

Put in the context that I went through a divorce, and have a special needs child, and I'm pretty much confidant I'll never have another date again. Because who would want to take that on? Or how do I go about meeting a guy with that in my life? I don't get to go out much. Would a guy honestly put up with every other weekend while things progress? The Brad/Emily version was not quite what I was hoping for when looking at folks dating someone who already has a child. I mean...not even wanting to kiss her because little Ricki is upstairs? That bothered me, and I can't put into words why it did. <br />Any thoughts here?<br />-R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-58016099296908377412011-03-29T18:22:07.703-05:002011-03-29T18:22:07.703-05:00Another hilarious post.

The thing I don't agree with as a girl is the kissing part, if a guy is a bad kisser he is single and will probably stay that way.
