Woggle Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I have to think about answer but I thought this would be an interesting question.
Pyro Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I have to think about answer but I thought this would be an interesting question. Hmmm very interesting. perhaps these are the type of people that are not meant to be in a marriage with another person. Maybe these are the type that are self-absorbed in their own lives.
Author Woggle Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 I think I could. I don't take any crap and I am very blunt but if you do right by me I will do right by you.
Storyrider Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I think I would be quite compatible with myself in most ways...I would get my jokes, which would be nice. And we would always want to crank up the same songs. It is just no one would want to mow the lawn. We would need to hire somebody to do that.
This_Too_Shall_Pass Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Great question. I would, mostly. I can expect the following from being married to myself: A good conversationalist, very caring, understanding and empathetic, sincere, and willing to put in the effort to resolve trying situations. Oh, and having a decent I.Q., and other salient features Yeah, I'd love to be married to myself. Because I know that what I see is what I'll get - no doubt about it. Which also means I will have to put up with a person who is: Sometimes cranky, sometimes argumentative, often cynical, and sometimes short-sighted in certain matters. But that can probably be countered by believing in fair play and justice, which I do. So all in all, I could live happily ever after with myself. Just as well, since I've significantly raised the bar for "my kind of guy", over time. Alternatively, I could just clone myself as a guy. But I think I'll find the dude before the time to clone draws near.
Storyrider Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 No problem there - I will mow your lawn for free. Have you ever mowed a lawn?? I wonder...one's hands get all calloused and roughened... Whilst secretly plotting to undermine your marriage to yourself, so that I could have (one of) you all to myself. With the lawn boy?! That would be slumming it. Or maybe I could just marry both of you. Is that an option? Then I could have you all the time, but you could do your own thing whenever you wanted (assuming you could coordinate with your other self to cover each other's arses). Sounds confusing. Lets be careful not to get time travel in the mix, that will make it even worse. And what about your own marriage to yourself as per this thread? How would that fit in?
Storyrider Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Well, if I didn't take the opportunity to cheat on myself with you, then I doubt that I could ever forgive myself. I know the other me would feel exactly the same way. So you're planning an open marriage with yourself. That is big of you. For me (and myself), I think after a while the relationship would get a bit too predictable. I would know myself like the back of my own hand. I would keep finishing my own sentences, and I would lose that sense of mystery. That, I suppose, is when one is ripe to stray.
Storyrider Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I promise to be faithful to whichever one of you strays first. Then the other me will step in as a shoulder for the other you to cry on. The double-crossing, duplicitous, two-timing behavior would hurt, that is for sure. At least you and yourself seem to have it together.
Storyrider Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Not exactly - we were just playing with ourselves. Well at least you wouldn't have to search for the G spot, etc. You'd already know exactly what to do and how to do it without being told. That would be quite an advantage.
Storyrider Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 We spent the whole time pining over you. Or the other you - I get confused, sometimes. It left us both limp, and listless. I guess that gets at the heart of the problem with being married to yourself. You'd get bored and long for something different and unpredictable. I would get bored with myself, too.
Storyrider Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 No, that's not what I'm saying. Ordinarily I would be very happy in my own company. The reason for my listlessness is down to the insatiable desire for each of us to get into either of your pants. Sometimes I wish we'd never met either of you. Not for very long, though. I should hope not for very long. I do think that this is all very kinky and out there. I mean, if cloning were a reality, and you could create another you, I think it should be illegal for you to marry yourself. It flies in the face of what marriage is really about, cleaving to another and all that. Just food for thought so this thread can have a leg to stand on in the morning.
IpAncA Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I have to think about answer but I thought this would be an interesting question. No way! Battles would start as soon as we started dating. I lived with a mirror image of myself and it was pure torture. I was frustrated, stressed, depressed, angry, pulling my hair out, and on the verge of a meltdown.
amaysngrace Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Aren't we all married to ourselves? With divorce not being an option??? :bunny:
serial muse Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 There is something surreal about this thread...it's almost like Story is married to/having a conversation with herself.
Storyrider Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 There is something surreal about this thread...it's almost like Story is married to/having a conversation with herself. Well, that is what this thread is about after all. Perfectly on topic.
Trialbyfire Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Hahaha...I just read this thread and found it highly entertaining. Story/agic kill me. As for marrying myself, no thanks. Vive la différence!! I'm sadly lacking certain body parts.
serial muse Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I don't know if I'd like being married to myself...I'm a good partner (in the sense that I'm thoughtful, loyal, sexy, interesting, like to cook, get involved in my partner's interests but also like to have alone time or time with friends) but I like to be surprised by new ideas and insights. It's like playing chess with myself...it'd be too predictable.
This_Too_Shall_Pass Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Aren't we all married to ourselves? With divorce not being an option??? Well, that's true. I guess that gets at the heart of the problem with being married to yourself. You'd get bored and long for something different and unpredictable. Hmm. I'd already thought about that aspect before proposing to myself...and since I know myself so well, I would know what to do and what not to do in the marriage. How to be similar and different at the right times - no futile arguments, and only differences that we can live with. No old, repetitive jokes that we've each heard a dozen times over. Best of all, both my selves would know exactly what is needed to make each of us better people. That's a combo that can't be beat.
Storyrider Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 No old, repetitive jokes that we've each heard a dozen times over. So you have some jokes in the vault that you haven't heard before? That is a unique talent. I wonder if there has ever been a case of MPD where one personality was married to the other?
This_Too_Shall_Pass Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 So you have some jokes in the vault that you haven't heard before? That is a unique talent. I wonder if there has ever been a case of MPD where one personality was married to the other? Haha...well, me and myself will exist as two different people from the moment we get married. Any new jokes will be stored in our respective joke vaults and will be popped out at just the right time
doiask42much Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I'd definitely like to have sex with myself. Marriage, hell to the no.
This_Too_Shall_Pass Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 On other thoughts, since I'll be cloning a male version of myself....I wonder if that will adversely affect the whole plan. Maybe the male-me will be just like any other male...and will require repeated nagging to get him to do anything at all
FireandIce Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I think I could. I don't take any crap and I am very blunt but if you do right by me I will do right by you. That's how I am as well. I am also a very patient person and sometimes too forgiving.
Krytellan Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I have to think about answer but I thought this would be an interesting question. That is a freakin awesome question. I would say absolutely, completely, and with no hesitation I would love to be married to me. However, there are a couple of things about me that if I knew them about the "me" before the wedding, I would have to talk about. But for the most part, HELL YES!
