Hi Ms. Realgirl,
Thanks for posting your second photo, in your Halloween costume!

This is the costume I wore to the Halloween party.
Whew! That’s incredibly hot. No wonder the other man (not your bf Chris) at the Halloween party immediately took you up on it… and more… when you suggested that if he were to feel up your ass while Chris was “taking his shot,” he would miss (a good prediction that yielded multiple benefits). You’re a VERY sensuous-looking woman and you obviously aren’t afraid to show off your assets. That’s very positive.
Backtracking a bit to my earlier comment in post #103 (27 Dec. 2010):

…. I was attempting an admittedly-weak joke based on the many-centuries-old religious and other male traditions of associating female sexuality with "evil," thereby creating "justification" for suppressing women and perpetuating patriarchy.
This is illustrated almost perfectly by Renotwothree’s concluding comment in post #109 (28 Dec. 2010):

Understand this is not just about you. Do the right thing, and liberate Chris. If not - if you keep screwing with his self image - you'll be coming back in the next life as the microbe on the shit of my boot heal.
First, he has invoked an assumption from a particular religion (reincarnation; i.e., you will come back as “something else” after your present life) for which there is absolutely no justification nor evidence of any kind. It’s a fairy tale. Second, he asserts (in effect) that in this nonexistent “reincarnation” he, a “virtuous” man, will come back as a giant human (relative to you) while you, an “evil” woman, will come back as a mere microbe. Finally, he states explicitly that in his fairy-tale “reincarnated” form he will have shit on his boots and will walk around stomping you, in your fairy-tale “reincarnated” form as a microbe, beneath his heel. I mean, is this a classical attempt by a man to invoke religion to make a woman (you) feel bad about yourself, thereby suppressing your sexuality, or what?

…. You are young and it is unlikely you will marry your partner. Consequently, you MUST follow Dan Savage's advice: Leave him better than you found him.
How does Renotwothree or any other anonymous forum member know whether you will or will not marry Chris? That decision will be up to you and Chris, certainly not him or anyone else following this thread. And who is Dan Savage, anyway, and why “must” you take his advice? If D.S. (whoever he is) wanted others to take his advice on this point seriously, he would have included some analogous advice for men: leave her better than you found her. Regardless (as you know), that frequently doesn’t happen. So, statements of this nature can be lumped into the category of pleasant concepts that, unfortunately, are often unrelated to reality. To apply such advice selectively to women (you, in this case) is, at best, unhelpful.
So, I urge you to keep in mind:

Nothing in your posts, Ms. Realgirl, suggests you are not a nice girl.
