Do things have the change?
If a new relationship is going really good, chances are, things lead to physical intimacy. This means that the dynamics of the relationship will change. Does it have to? Not necessarily, but when you bring sex in to the situation, things generally take a shift.
It seems there a lot of expectations, so I always think it is good to talk about what those are before you start to get physical. It may make it easier to handle the difference after things get intimate. It’s not just women who change either! A lot of men are known to switch their behavior after sex is introduced in a relationship.
Why do you think sex changes a relationship dynamic so much?
How does it make a difference when it comes to how two people relate?
Do things have to change after sex?

ITL~ Be glad your in the 100’s. Hubbys is cheap so we are in the 300’s. Hence the reason I would rather stay home and watch the games…

None of the employees that I supervise/manage are on my FB page and all of them know not to send me friend requests.
And I can count on one hand the number of co-workers from my last department that are FB friends in the “Acquaintance” category.
A good 95% of what I post on FB is only visible to my “Close Friends.”

@CC: Yeah, that dawned on me after I said that. Still and all, might be kind of fun for me to think up “I” things to go into. Like the Indian Ocean. Or Iceland. (shrugs) Blame it on the cold medicine…..

OAN – some of the neighborhood criminals broke into my truck, trying to steal it Friday night.
I felt a special kind of satisfaction when the police just happened to have 5 suspects lined up on the street to the side of my house this morning, interrogating them about a different stolen car that they were stopped in.

@Swiss: Wasn’t me, but I did go down to the locker room at the half and have a talk with them.
On a serious note, I’ve heard all the comments, but I’m looking to see how we do Saturday against Mizzou. Historically, we’ve never been a “steamroll the lesser team” kinda program. That said, I think the O-line got a little too relaxed before the half and I think the D was definitely missing Ogletree. Commings, and Rambo. But we looked like a team playing their first game….I’m not sweating it. Yet.

Maybe it’s the Munson in me, but I am sweating it…
Our D is clearly not the same without half it’s starters (shouldn’t be a surprise), and if I had to put $ on it, I’d bet we’re still without all 5 this week, too.
Not to mention the fact that we’ve now got 2 OL starters (Theus & Burnette) and the top RT backup (Dantzler) banged up. Even if they play, they’re not likely to be 100%.
We’ll see, but I’m concerned for sure…

swiss~ You can be concerned, but Gurley & Murray had an excellent game this weekend and Murray seems to be stepping into the role of leader nicely. Combine that with Richt’s coaching and I think they might be able to pull off a successful season.

Gurley is a beast, I’ll grant you that. I’m hoping for the best, of course, but being pessimistic is like my security blanket…
I was glad to see the bulletin board material coming out of mizzou, though. I don’t think a lack of effort will be an issue this week, so that’s at least 1 thing I’m not worried about.
