Difference between girlfriend and wife?
I was watching a panel of men discuss dating and marriage the other day. One of the men stated that to a lot of men, there is not much difference between a girlfriend and a wife. Obviously, this got my attention because I always believed that men had “limited” loyalty to a girlfriend.
Maybe I am being naive but do some men really think that a girlfriend is equal to a wife? Do you believe that dating boyfriend/girlfriend relationships are comparable to an actual marriage?
What do you think is the difference between a girlfriend and wife or boyfriend or husband?
Happy Friday!

slim/swiss – i’ve been practicing yoga over 8 years. you really have to try different styles, settings and instructors to find the one that suits you. otherwise it can be incredibly boring. just this week the place i attend added a new instructor. she uses a very dark room, soft instruction tone and long holds. i never broke a sweat and damn near fell asleep in resting pose a few times. not good!
and yes. s/o gets a big kick out of watching me practice at home and deciding which poses he’s going to put to good use.

Though I did like Oh Mighty Isis!!

Slim — Mrs. Swiss does the hot yoga & loves it — says she can get more loose & go further with her poses in the heat. Then again, she’s from Haiti, so she’s right at home it the heat. My azz would pass out just walking through the door.
czBrat — Um… yeah…. I tried going to yoga classes w/ Mrs. Swiss a couple of times and had to stop for fear of catching a public indecency charge from checking her out.
Every pose she does, I’m seeing her butt nekkid in my mind…

cz – That would be my issue, being bored enough to fall asleep. Even at the gym I go to now, if the trainer gets sidetracked or has to go off to tend to something, it breaks up my workout and gets me out of the groove.

incredibly boring … and completely ineffective, i might add.
slim, i did a drop-in for one hot yoga session earlier this year. luved it! but i can’t do it on the regular cuz that humidity is pure havoc on my hair.
start with a michael blanchard cd and have your own choice of music as your background. see how you like it. i’ll email you about my regular spot.

cz – Speaking of hair, all this rain has NOT been good for me. The moisture in the air just makes my hair swell up like a sponge when water hits it
This white chick at work walked up to me the other day and said, “Ooh girl, what did you do to your hair? It looks good and full”

I’m sure some of those poses are good in theory but there has to be some that just aren’t practical for your entertainment purposes. Now I did see a clip recently where this chick was on an exercise ball doing different positions with her dude.
