It wasn't dopey, it was a caring thing to think of.
I do think that it's a good general warning to exercise great caution in communicating with the opposite gender regarding sexual matters.
NG, if you want to drop me a note you can reach me at dufellow2003@yahoo.com. I'm not offering counselling (I'm wading through just like everyone else), I'm just offering my friendship.

I absolutely agree with this. This is how EA's start.
I am excessively careful when emailing people. Quite frankly I don't like to have contact with members of the opposite sex from any bb, regarding any subject. Why take the chance, is my thinking.
Catholics call it avoiding the near occasion of sin.
Look, I KNOW MYSELF.
I know what things I would be prey to...a kind word, a sexy innuendo..attention.
So why go there?
I avoid it and instead focus on my marriage and my husband. THIS is the only way to both stay true to my vows and live out a Christian marriage.
JJ, Yep that's right. In the next paragraph I wrote that I don't have contact with men from any bb regarding any subject. The closest I've come is conversing with GonnaGoBlind about the marriage encounter weekends. I made sure to only write a few times and stick (mostly) to the topic. People might think this is silly...after all, I'm devoted to my husband and he is obviously crazy about his wife (this is even more evident after writing him directly, btw) but my thinking remains the same: Why take the chance?
Again, I know myself. I know what would tempt me. So why even get into the situation where I could potentially be tempted?
I realize this sounds preachy and overly simplistic, but I don't care. I am a weak human being and I have to be on guard against myself and my own weaknesses, sexual or non-.
