I have to agree with Many here. It is not pushing your morals on him it is keeping your own. I have seen other friends who have been told this story (we are just roommate, i stay for the urms, ect) you do not have bad judgement you seem very wise to have figured out that if is nothing between them should be no reason not tell her about you. You learned this lesson far soon than I did. It took me many years and many tears to figure out such things my friend. Angel

General reply... It sounds like hard work to me, regardless of morals.

I would demand he tell her and if he still says no I would walk away.

If they're not married and they're not involved I say it's none of the womens business what her room mate is doing. Even if the room mate and her do have kids together. quote: ORIGINAL: colouredin Now so I met a Dom hes quite nice, we get on and we went on a date. All is lovely and then I get a phone call. He lives with a woman, they are not married and are not in a sexual relationship however he stays with her for the ums. Seems really sad to me. Anyways My response was I will carry on seeing you just so long as you tell her and shes ok with it. He doesnt want to tell her. Is it wrong to insist this? I have known people who do have an ignorance is bliss mentality, they know whats going on and dont want to be told about it. However if there are no romantic feelings there where is the harm? Im sorry I have no experience of this stuff. Im pretty sure that I am going to get most people saying that I can only do what I am comfortable with and I agree, Im just looking for a bit of insight.

I don't think it is fair of one partner to try to force the other into sharing with others about the relationship if they don't want to. If you are concerned that she means more to him than he is saying then that is the real issue to address.

YourhandMyAss -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (1/31/2009 3:06:23 PM)
Because room mates can make your life a personal hell hole, if they're vindictive or immature, or juvinal, And you can just avoid the whole headache all together. quote: ORIGINAL: VeryNastyDom Hmmn, not married and not in a sexual relationship with this woman, but living together. It happens all the time, and that is what you call a housemate. The question you have to ask is why a grown man would care if his housemate knew he had a new girlfriend if the relationship was purely Platonic?

quote: He doesnt want to tell her. Is it wrong to insist this? No you are not wrong in insisting on this, what is his problem with telling her IF they truly are not in a relationship? If he does not want to tell her, I'd say move on. That is just my take on it. ~Lashra

MostlySubMale -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (1/31/2009 3:49:55 PM)
I agree with the others who say you should walk away, but for a different reason. If he and she both are willing to cooperate for the sake of the um's then you don't want to be the one who messes it up, even if it's inevitable. It's becoming very rare for both a mother and a father to make any sacrifice for the benefit of um's. My suggestion is for you to call it off and mention to him that you don't want any part of anything potentially detrimental to um's. Sorry for not putting WIITWD above the well-being of children, except to anybody who has already done so and wants to hear there is nothing wrong with it.

NCNutCase -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (1/31/2009 4:10:27 PM)
I do not think you should 'force your morals' on others... and therefore I do not think you should insist he do so... I do think it is wise of you to not want to be invovled in a relationship that is a secret. In my opinion/experience this is simply setting yourself up for drama... The fact the guy is asking you to do this (in my opinion) is a huge warning sign that to be involved with him means to be involved with lies, secrets and drama... So I would suggest letting him know you are not interested in a hidden or secret relatinoship, and if he ever matures beyond that point you may consider getting to know him better. But if you ever do decide to get to know him better, do not forget this lesson of his character...

oceanwynds -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (1/31/2009 5:27:09 PM)
Not sure if it is forcing your morals on someone, but more why have something in secret. I find that doesn't begin anything in the right light.

blacksilk -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (1/31/2009 7:15:38 PM)
<FR> Just a different spin on the view: If he remains in relationship with you and doesn't tell his significant other, he is tehnically cheating and you are a party to it. It also doesn't say much about his honesty, honour, integrity or communication skills. Are you sure you even want to be in a relationship with someone like that? Chances are very high that he will be that way with you too. A leopard does not change his spots with a new mate........

myotherself -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (1/31/2009 10:37:49 PM)
Nope, you're not a poor judge of character - you're only human. When something seems right, we want it to BE right and that can affect how we view the situation. Hell, I can dish out great advice with the best of 'em, but when it comes to myself I seem to have my 'twat filter' permanently switched off...[8\|] After a recent nasty incident I've started listening REALLY closely to that little voice in my head. If it says 'run', I'm outta here like an Olympic sprinter! Good luck, and I hope you make the choice that makes you happy [:)]

scarlethiney -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (2/1/2009 1:08:11 AM)
colouredin, I do not think your forcing your morals on him. My concern would be your being in a relationship with someone who isn't or can't be forthright with the person he is living with. First it's not fair to his partner no matter what the status of the relationship and that would have me questioning the status of that relationship and why he would chose to stay "for the children". That never helps anyone including the children. Secondly and most importantly from your point of view it's not fair to you. I guess I would ask you; why are you settling for a relationship where the person you are beginning to care about is "unavailable"? Perhaps you need to ask yourself what you can hope to expect with the situation the way it is. Unfortunately, I don't think you can expect much and since you do seem to really like this man your feelings would only grow if you continued this and then you dear heart would be the one who stands to be hurt when you want more than he can or is willing to give you in his current circumstance. I think you deserve more. scarlet

Point 1: If he is telling the whole truth, I see no problem as long as he is prepared to bring her along to a coffee weet so you can verify the story. Ergo - No verification there is a good chance he is telling you porkies. Point 2: If all is not as he says, you should stick to your guns. Ypou are not forcing your morals on any one as you have a right to where you stand and why. It is up to everyong else todecide if theywant to play in your sand pit or find another if they want something different. Just basic good relationship sense.

Lockit -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (2/1/2009 9:10:20 AM)
You ask about forcing your moral's upon him... you are concidering a great deal. I wonder if he is doing the same. Isn't he asking you to keep secret's to protect the um's, a decent cause of course... that strikes the heart's of anyone who love's um's. But isn't he asking you to compromize becasue of his mistakes in his relationship that didn't work out? Isn't he positioning himself to 'seem' good and decent and honorable as a father? You do not ask too much... but he does, whatever his reasons are. No one likes to be a secret and that you would be. He is wonderful and putting on his best... and oh by the way... I cannot do this and that because I am a daddy and I am doing this to save them... but she really means nothing to me as far as things that you and I could share... she just cannot know. You may not decide to go for this seemingly wonderful man... but someone will. Could we be jaded and suspecious? Yes... But the chances are... he is asking far too much, limits what you can share for at least eighteen more years... can only be part time... and as the um's get older... more secrets... Or he calls things off with you when you want more or need more or can't be there for holiday's and you sacrifice all while he has his honorable stand... protecting the homefront... but how does he protect you? How does he view someone who will fall for his line, if it is a line? Stop placing the responsiblity on yourself... when it is he who should be being responsible here. How well are secrets kept? Then what happens? He puts you in a very bad place and expect's too much. You do not.

sujuguete -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (2/1/2009 9:18:28 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: myotherself my gut feeling? If he's not prepared to share something this important with the woman he lives with, the mother of his kids, then can you really trust him not to hide stuff from you too? I would feel very uncomfortable being with someone who is so comfortable with lying. This is exactly what I was thinking. Also, you are not forcing your morals on him if you tell him you will not accept his refusal to tell the mother of his kids. You are setting boundaries, which is entirely appropriate and necessary.

kiwisub12 -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (2/1/2009 10:37:35 AM)
Perhaps as Lockit says you are willing to go along with the deception for the sake of the kids. Great. But you might consider that your relationship will never go anywhere. If you are comfortable with being nothing more than the secret on the side, then cool. But if at some point you might want to make the relationship 24/7, or even be welcome in his house, then this relationship is a disaster happening in front of you. I have known women who were happy with being part time lovers - for years. But i have known far more women who wanted a more emcompassing relationship. You need to decide what your long term goals for any given relationship are, and go the route to attain them. good luck.

Andalusite -> RE: Forcing my morals on someone else. (2/1/2009 12:52:14 PM)
Do you really want the drama of dealing with that? Sure, he doesn't need to tell her details like your D/s and/or BDSM stuff, but at least he should be able to tell her that the two of you are dating, if he was actually telling the truth (which I doubt). Not the kind of guy I'd want to be involved with! However, if you think lies are kinky and hot, it's your life!

I agree. But if that makes the OP uncomfortable there's nothing wrong with that, either, just move on.
