My takes from the Prudence story from B2

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Mar 20 '14, 08:36

1) Having huge secrets from someone you want to have a relationship with just can't work. I'm really surprised people are defending it in any way.

2) The sister shouldn't have told on Rhonda. It was wrong of Rhonda to hide it from him, but you fix that by encouraging your sister, not by crossing boundaries.

3) His long time grudge against Rhonda is odd. Yes, she did keep it from him, but unless she did more, that's no reason to be done with her completely.

Responses:

Again, I disagree that it was wrong of Rhonda to "hide" this. And I believe that point sort of renders all your other complaints null -- nm - con_carne Mar 20, 09:02 3
- That's just silly. -- nm - David Mar 20, 09:10
- I'm not sure how hide can even be in quotes here. Is that even in question? Of course she hid it. - Inigo Mar 20, 09:09
- "um, babe, why were you in Boy Scouts?" -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 09:05
That about sums it up. - TWuG Mar 20, 08:44

- I couldn't put a date on it, but I'd say it has to happen before you agree it's a relationship. -- nm - Inigo Mar 20, 08:49 13

    - Well, the letter writer says "my ex" in the subject line, and "I broke up with her". Sounds like they were a couple to me. -- nm - Inigo Mar 20, 09:02
    - He's met her family. -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 09:02 9
      - IMO, you have to have that convo before meeting the family. - groiny Mar 20, 09:04 7
        
        I'd think so, but I can also think of many conversations I didn't have before meeting a girlfriend's family (or before she met mine) -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 09:09 2
        
        my rule of wrist, is that they do not meet my family unless it is getting serious. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 09:10 1
        
        Norman has come a long way. -- nm - Shaun Mar 20, 09:13
        
        Although they might have thought "he must have been told by now..." -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 09:05 3
        
        I would hope they would have covered that on the phone call that he was coming over. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 09:06 2
        
        "so, did you tell him about the thing...that you used to have?" -- nm - Phone Call Mar 20, 09:08 1
        
        "Quick, take down all the family photos!" -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 09:09
      - yup -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 09:02
  - yeah, at some point, after multiple dates, you say "before we get too far along in this, we need to talk" -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 08:50
- Three months in some relationships is like three days in mine. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 20, 08:45 4

    - That is my point. Every relationship is unique. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 20, 08:49 2
      - Yeah, when is he starting from? How often were they going out? -- nm - Ender Mar 20, 08:50 1

maybe he's secretly semi-turned on by it. like moderately and maybe even subconsciously into dudes. -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 08:40
I'll bet Rhonda blew him. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 08:37 2
- ... better than his wife. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 20, 08:41 1
  - and rightfully so. -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 08:41
