Now, as you guys may recall, a while back BF gave away one of the secrets of the male temple by telling me and Corri that if a single guy agreed to a monogamy-without-commitment relationship then he was p*ssy-whipped. Upon reflection, I gained some empathy for how this might be the case and therefore decided that it would be a waste of my womanly energies to tend fence with any man to whom I was not married. I decided that I would continue to be a serial monogamous since that was my natural bent but assume that men were polygamous.

Anyways, I was talking to FSG last night and he said something about how it might be difficult to maintain such a long-distance relationship. I thought this was a sensible comment and said so and I mentioned how I thought it would be natural if he wanted to find a bar "where everybody knew his name" and expand his local social circle and perhaps find a more readily at-hand female. He responded by saying "Listen. I don't care if you don't want to claim me because I claim you." He kind of growled when he said it. Sort of hippo morphing to wolf- maybe rhino.
