I've had a tiny bit of firsthand experience and tons of secondhand experience with it. It isn't for me. The majority of the people I've known who seem to make it work are people I really can't stand, which makes it all pretty moot for me: if those are the personalities required to make it work, it really really isn't for me. (I'm not counting Our Ms L, since I don't really know her.)

since when do i have any say, especially if i "love" someone, in how that person lives their life, provided i don't feel like the way they need to live their life is trampling over my same.
I know it's just your take on it, jess, but this seems either vague enough as to not mean much ("... provided I don't feel ..." grants a lot of leeway) or just bizarre. In any long-term relationship, how X lives their life affects Y in many, many ways which don't trample Y's ability to live their life the way they want to.

That's all I was saying, I think -- compromise as opposed to a completely "do whatever you like as long as it doesn't threaten my well-being" sort of thing.

Oh, I meant "Seattle is such a wacky place, surely FAPs could not out-wack her!" Her preference isn't east coast, it's north -- and although mine is south (basically, I want to live anywhere that has neither snow nor a Pacific Ocean), it's the northeast that I adamantly oppose.

??? ur, but the Pacific Ocean is not on the east coast.

second, "giving" for the sake of it = classic, but with expectation of even partial future repayment = dud.
