Hey Pusherman, I just heard about new Interview with the Vampire graphic novel told from Claudia's viewpoint. DO WANT! -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 12:21
Poll: on the average, most marital infidelity occurs: 1) by drunken slipup, 2) by slowly built proximity/intimacy 3) by seeking it out - Max Jul 18, 12:17 32
- 2 with a side of 3. You have to be open to it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 12:26
- Anecdotally, I know more 3's than 2's -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 12:25
- i'm surprised by the number of 2s. that would sort of indicate insanely jealous carpooler's wife might have a point. -- nm - kare Jul 18, 12:23 5
  - The problem is, even if she has a point, "don't get in a car with the hot woman!" hardly seems like a solution. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 12:24 4
    - true. hey, i just remembered, a couple jobs ago a gal who lived with her BF started carpooling with a coworker guy and - kare Jul 18, 12:26 1
      - you said yourself, you've gotten close to carpool buddies in the past. But it's your responsibility to behave appropriately. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 12:27
    - ... it may not be an artful or modern solution, but I think it would definitely avoid the problem. Which means it is a solution. -- nm - landbeck Jul 18, 12:26 1
      - agree with this wholeheartedly. why even invite the possibility if you don't have to? -- nm - colin Jul 18, 12:30

  - "Should we park?" "What are you saying?" "Depends on what you meant?" "I don't know what's happening here." "Just go with it." *raises arms* -- nm - this is how it always starts Jul 18, 12:22 2
    - They raised their arms because they close, right? -- nm - Inigo Jul 18, 12:25 1
      - They're...damn contractions. -- nm - Inigo Jul 18, 12:34
- i think 3, but it's more about being open to it (for a number of reasons) than just actively seeking it out -- nm - kare Jul 18, 12:20
- 3 -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 12:20
- 2. it seems like how that stuff usually work out, not only in marriage infidelities -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 18, 12:19

  - pretend you're an actuary! you must go by the stats! -- nm - Max Jul 18, 12:19
- 4) mutual consent -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 12:18 3
  - [deleted]
  - I don't think that counts as infidelity. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 18, 12:23 1
    - I don't think that counts as mutual. -- nm - Max Jul 18, 12:24

double bonus prude chat q: hubby carpools to work with an attractive female co-worker. then spends 90 mins parked in the car talking with her - moles Jul 18, 12:04 44
- I'm confused, does the one and a half hours (roughly) refer to the actual commute time, or is he sitting in the car for an additional hour and a half - Stephen Jul 18, 12:19 9
  - I assumed during the commute. Who leaves for work an extra 90 minutes each day? -- nm - decline Jul 18, 12:24
  - [deleted]
  - i think it's the driving time. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 12:21 3
    - That's what I thought as well, but the subject line seemed to indicate otherwise. -- nm - Stephen Jul 18, 12:23 2
      - that's pixie's mis-interpretation, the letter is pretty clear i think. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 12:25 1
        
        frickin' pixie! -- nm - kare Jul 18, 12:28
  - Right. I don't think we can say for sure. -- nm - Inigo Jul 18, 12:20 2
    - We can, if we use our context clues. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 12:21 1
      - But if we ask for more information, it might change everything. -- nm - Max Jul 18, 12:23
- what's next? no female coworkers? -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 12:14
- If my wife was honest with me about her worries, no matter how unfounded or irrational, I'd comply. - landbeck Jul 18, 12:13 3
  - *ding* landbeck is smart -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 12:22
  - you know, this is actually very, very sweet. -- nm - kare Jul 18, 12:15 1
    - agreed. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 12:16
- " It's not that I'm insecure, it's just that your a WHORE!" - car pool dude's wife Jul 18, 12:11
- threesome -- nm - decline Jul 18, 12:09
- Yes, you are. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 12:07 1
  - i've actually become pretty close with people i've carpooled with in the past. but you've gotta trust your SO. -- nm - kare Jul 18, 12:08
- the way this reads to me is they spend "an hour and a half" driving (50 minutes to work and then 40 minutes return). That's the nature of HOV driving -- nm - Max Jul 18, 12:07 1
  - 2) If you want the time, make the time. 3) Maybe it's good he's being distracted from otherwise thinking about your whining. -- nm - Max Jul 18, 12:11
- i think the 1.5 hours is the amount of time spent commuting. and yes she's being unreasonable and pathetic - kare Jul 18, 12:06 5
  - I think her real issue is that she doesn't feel she's getting enough quality time with the hubby, not that he's driving some bimbo to work. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 12:18 3
    - can't it be both? -- nm - colin Jul 18, 12:19 2
      - could be, but the way its written strikes me as her not knowing how to address the former, so she projects that as jealousy onto the latter situation. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 12:21 1
        
        because she hasn't really provided enough justifcation for it otherwise. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 12:25
  - this -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 12:07
- if she has any reason not to trust him, she's right to say that he shouldn't carpool with her any more. - colin Jul 18, 12:06 11
  - He's being irrational by riding to work with someone? - Will Hunting Jul 18, 12:10 10
    - he's being irrational by arguing with a woman! - colin Jul 18, 12:15 2
      - Just becuase you say something, doesn't mean it's legitimate. She doesn't feel connected to him, I can tell you that unless she - Will Hunting Jul 18, 12:24 1
        
        no matter how irrational, you have to take it in to consideration. - colin Jul 18, 12:29
    - right. and if he's open to having an affair with someone, he'll put himself in a situation in which to develop one, whether it's a carpool or - kare Jul 18, 12:13 4
      - If she had something more...anything more than "They drive 50minutes each way and then he returns home", I might have a shred of compassion for her. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 12:14 3
        
        i admit, i've become irrationally jealous in past relationships, but it was indicative of the relationship problems and also the fact that i was - kare Jul 18, 12:19
        
        "Every time they pull in the driveway, she appears to be talking directly to his balls." -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 12:18 1
        
        See, much better reasoning! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 12:20
    - you can carpool...but only by yourself...or with dudes. NO GIRLS ALLOWED! -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 12:11 1
      - And don't worry, that time you spend in the car is time I can hold against you, even though ti seems that I have no desire to actually spend time with - Will Hunting Jul 18, 12:13
- (i think you're misreading the 90 minutes.) and no, not inappropriate, unless he's coming home late more frequently. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 12:06 4
  - Yeah. What's written in the subject line would be inappropriate but what is written inside is not. -- nm - Dano Jul 18, 12:11 2
    - sorry, i misread! -- nm - moles Jul 18, 12:11 1
      - you're misreading the whole situation! you're out of order! -- nm - Max Jul 18, 12:13
