    So no ones allowed to have a boyfriend and have sex with him now? The issue here is that she isn't living with him - end of.

    My advice to the OP would be to log out of this board now and concentrate on having a happy, healthy pregnancy instead of reading all this squit.

    Your Sir / Madam amaze me more and more every post.

    Boyfriend = Not single

    Spending 'most of the time' in either house = Co-habiting basically

    2 year relationship = RELATIONSHIP! NOT single, NOT just sex, NOT 180 mile away 'casual' relationship

    Sex in 2 year relationship = Man seed fertalising women egg (may aswell go back to basics as it seems I will have to with you!) and baby being produced

    Sex with man and baby on way = Man who had sex is father

    Father = Having a kid and having responsibilities for that kid

    Working = Going out and earning a wage to provide for kid and wife / girlfriend / sex object (which you like to put it as)

    Claiming as a single person = Being single, having no relationship

    and here we start the loop again.....

    Cappiche?!? :D

    This was what the OP wrote at the beginning of the thread. I am now officially hacked off. So, I ask again, I work during the day, if my husband decided to work nights, I wouldn't be sleeping with him iat night in the same bed, & I would rarely see him. Does that put me in the same category as her I wonder? No, of course not, we made a mistake, we decided to get married after the birth of our son, buy our own home & both work. Damn.

    Don't get me wrong, I know everyones circumstances are different, but come on!

    As no one has answered your Lottee, yes, it seems you are correct. As long as you do everything thats involved in a relationship, have kids, one goes to work to pay for wage and a house, it seems you can get away with the technicality that he works different hours to you.

    Therefore, you are single, can get a house, can get other people to pay for your children, clothes, food etc etc etc and your husband can sit in his house safe in the knowledge that he now has more of a disposable income. Whats more, you can stay round each others houses and act as if your together as a family. - Brilliant! Genius!

    You are, according to black on here, single. And theres nothing wrong with saying so :confused: :rotfl:

    I think were the only two in agreement here Lottee, but thanks, I thought I was wrong in thinking that people as a couple and having babies were not single. :T

    Well done on doing the right things.

    I have advised the OP to close the thread. It's up to her if she does or not. But if I were her I wouldnt want to put up with this bullying witch hunt and would want to concentrate on myself and having a healthy pregnancy.

    Why is it when anyone (a) disagrees with black-saturn or (b) points out a fautly line of argument or (c) articulately argues and alternative position then they are then accused of bullying by black-saturn?:confused:
