BTGNow thanks, I was worried that my comment my sound harsher than it was meant to be. When it comes to relationships logic always seems to go out the door.

@Rob: Things don’t always work like they’re supposed to. The various success rates for various methods are a) never 100% (though some come very close) and b) those advertised rates are only under the best of conditions.

Also, there is a huge problem with education. Many women (and men) don’t know all the options available to them. Many don’t know all the ins and outs, so to speak, of the actual act itself. Some are even under the impression that there is a cure for aids. It’s all education, cultural, academic or otherwise, and I don’t think it’s just religion that makes this difficult.

I’m glad Ashley had the courage to try to make it work once they’d decided what they wanted to do. However, as I mention in my article, like Ashley, you have to know when it’s time to leave.

Hey guys. I posted my article. You can get it by clicking on my name.

@Ashley Quote no longer stolen.

@Marci I don’t know if this helps. this is sorta what came out. I’m sure I’ll talk more about dating again, but for now this isn’t a bad place to start

probably the wrong question to ask but I’ve met and heard of so many avoidable accidental pregnancies (ie dating not married) has no one heard of birth control or has the religious right banned all use of it in the south?

@Ashley: Quote understood. And stolen. Look for you and it in the post tomorrow (say early evening, I gotta sleep sometime!).

@Marci: Rules? Heck I’m not sure if I’ve ever even played the game correctly! Hopefully it’ll be a useful post to many demographics, but thank you for your comment: I hadn’t considered that there were perhaps older demographics searching for information on for the younger. Hmmm….

@FrugalDad: Sorry! Feel like I inadvertantly monopolized the comments here lol.

@BTGNow… Remember when you write your article geared to the younger set, that some of us ‘older’ set people are helping raise grandkids … I’d enjoy hearing the ‘new rules’ as I know soooo much has changed since I was a teenager

Seriously – I need to know what to tell the grands when they start asking. Thanks!

Hey guys! I wanted to thank everyone for their kind and understanding words.

Andriy: That sounds exactly like my ex. The whole “but she’s only 3.5″ Never looking ahead, only thinking about today. Keep up the good work, you know you’re doing the right thing.

BTGNow: I read a quote in high school that said “never date someone who you wouldn’t marry” and I didn’t get it. haha… now I do. I don’t know how you get that concept through to younger people who aren’t even thinking about being married.
