Waiting Sucks

[Kailey 3]

Slim, it's not ####### what you're talking about but just a simple abscense of good principles and sort of degrading.

+ about '####### rulling the world'. With all my respect to Mr.Freud , world is a bit more complicated. But there are lucky ones who don't know about that.

OMG i cant belive you had a "girlfriend" while waiting for your fiance to get here, even if your fiance new about her/them you should be disgusted with yourself. i hope your finding it hard to be faithful now and i hope your wife opens her eyes to what a pig of a hubby she has!!! i know waiting is hard my fiance and i spent the good part of 3 years being apart before i could make it over here with my visa but at no point did either one of us want to have someone on the side!!!! we believed in being faithful to each other!! if you wanted to play the field then dont get married in the first place! its men like you that give other men a bad name!!! shame on you!!!!

Let's not forget that the K-1 visa is just a three-month contract. Therefore, if one or the other decides not to make a longer-term contract, it is important to have a fall-back plan ready to go. Otherwise we will feel like miserable a$$holes.

The real commitment only starts after both people say "I DO."

And if you happen to have one of those "open relationships" you can easily invite the "girlfriend" to join for a little fun time, together with the fiancee.

Honestly I just can't understand where you're coming from. Why is this so wrong? I mean, you act like it's some kind of sin or degrading or something. When in fact it's just the opposite. By keeping a woman on the side I'm simply showing my "main" woman that she's the one I really want to be committed to. These other women mean nothing to me other than just a good time. My main woman is the light of my life, while these other women are just flashes in the pan. (oh hell yeah, I'm a goddam poet!)

well, ever since your wife got off the island, she's probably just happy you're not her relative.

OMG you men make me sick.... i may be wrong but the idea of a K1 isnt to wait n see if its going to work!! people who are waiting paitently for their K1 because like me didnt want to spend their first married year of their live living apart, not to see if they if maybe it was going to work out or not ( you should already know that - sure not every marriage is 100%) . we made sure that we wanted to be together before we even thought about applying for a K1. i bloody well hope you paid for her expenses in her home town ( ie medical and visa application) coz id would be mad if i paid all that money just to wait n see if it worked out. i guess you've been lucky so far coz it has worked out. and she is none the wiser, but still shame on you!!! and i dont give a ####### that you made your statement 2.5 weeks ago. its still not right!.....shame on you!!

Grinning about "bloody well hope".

But Tommys_girl, you are right in that it would be pretty risky (for both parties) to spend all of that time, money and effort only to see if things work out. I mean....I realize that everything in life is a risk....or a gamble.....no matter if it's driving down the highway, getting married, or even waking up and getting out of bed in the morning. You never know exactly how it will end. I will allow that, and agree that life is literally a crapshoot.

However, on the matter of infedelity prior to marriage, I still find it strange to have a "second" woman on the side, if you have a woman that you have pledged your love, faith and trust to.....regardless if she is in the middle of Moscow, Russia, or just across the street. If there is some casual relationship whereby neither party has committed to anything official and is still playing the field, comparing options A, B and C......then yes, I can understand that. However, I still question what long term damage might occur in a relationship if one party is thinking that she is the only One, and the other side also thinks that she is the only One as well, but he also has a number Two, number Three and so on.

I also wonder if a relationship developing under these conditions....even if leading right up to marriage...will allow for both couples to truly bond and feel true faith and trust in each other that age, time, other people, financial stresses, life stresses, kids, work, illness, etc will test.....if those bonds are not strong enough, then there is a great possibility that a man or woman would revert to past behavior prior to the "ring" commitment, which could lead to an affair or simply a fracturing of the marriage.

As for the ring factor. A ring is a piece of metal. It is a symbol of something yes, and an engagement or wedding ring does have meaning, and should. But only to the one who wears it, and the one who gave it. It's not merely a toggle switch whereby when you place it on your finger, a referee steps out and blows a whistle declaring the game over, and you are never tempted, or others tempted by you, ever again. Rings have meaning only so long as the people that wear them feel that meaning. Otherwise, pawn shops wouldn't have such a wide selection of used ones.

If there is not already a powerful, dedicated and faithful love present when that ring is put on and worn, then there can, and most probably will, be a day when it is slipped back off that finger and laid down out of frustration, failure or temptation.

'Nuff said.

Peace out.

Btw, Kailey.......is that a Colt AR-15 you are holding? Your guy must be pretty lucky to have a woman that thinks and feels like you do, and who can also shoot. - M

That "ping" is really a pretty cool sound, isn't it?

I don't have an M1, but I have 3 Enfields.......love those old WW guns.

Yeah, those are the ones with penises. (or is it peni?

Why swap when you can have a 250rd drum?

That ping sound the Garand makes actually prompted a buddy of mine's grandpa to mod one during the Korean War. They'd somehow get an extra round in there so it would ping, the Chinese would jump up to bayonet charge, and then ol' gramps would give 'em a sample of American ingenuity. I can't figure for the life of me how they did it, but my buddy said it was true because their CO tried to court martial all the guys who modded their rifles! Court martial, hell - They should've been field commisioned!

No cheating! This was ol' what's her name's chance to get back in my good graces.

you can easily invite the "girlfriend" to join for a little fun time, together with the fiancee.

Let's just say I commisioned a full study and report on the issue... with negative results! Surprisingly enough, the "girlfriend" was all for it! Maybe that's why she was the "girlfriend" and not the wife. It's cool to have that wild and crazy chick to meet up with on the weekend, but is that really the one you want to introduce to your mom? Someday be the mother of your kids? "Hey kids, I met your mom in the back of....." No way!

Still didn't answer why you're subservient.

Absolutely, but if there's full disclosure, then what's the problem?

Btw, Kailey.......is that a Colt AR-15 you are holding? Your guy must be pretty lucky to have a woman that thinks and feels like you do, and who can also shoot. - M

I wondered how long it was going to take before we started playing "name that gun." If you can identify it as a Colt from that angle, I'm impressed! I wasn't even sure if it was an AR. Almost looked like a VEPR on my awesome little screen. How bout it Kailey? Wanna clear it up for us?

I don't have an M1, but I have 3 Enfields.......love those old WW guns.

Slim and Mox - just hope it won't be you who will end up riding bicycles and being sent 'home' by your wives . Well, with such attitude to your women you deserve nothing better.

The ping sound alerting the enemy is a famous myth. The best part of owning a Garand is when I am at the range and a WWII vet comes by and wants to shoot it. Usually tears come to many eyes as they reminisce. I collect Mil-Surps and have a little of about everything and a lot of others. Nothing like the bruised shoulder following a session with a K-98 or a Mosin. Besides a match grade M1, my K-31 is the most accurate.

All of these allow one to reach out and touch anyone wielding an AK-47 before they even know it.

Why is it right for an MOB to be after a GC, but it is wrong for the USC to have a backup plan in case the MOB does not have the best of intentions?

After waiting eight months for all the approvals, I do not think that I would send my MOB home within three months. It would a real waste of time and money. I would do it only if she turns out to be a real nightmare.

However, if my MOB does not have the best of intentions, I have the right to have fun for a few years while she waits for her GC. After that, I an entitled to be happy, so there is nothing wrong with ordering another MOB to keep me happy 3 to 5 more years. After four or five of these transactions I will be so tired that I will lie peacefully on my deathbed.

I see it as a SYMBIOTIC relationship: she gets the GC she was looking for and I get the SS with a hot MOB that I was looking for.

Is it wrong to think this way?

Why do people get so angry when we don't think like them?
