Listing on lists…I’ll take her and her and her for the win
Q: In a serious relationship, is it acceptable to have “a list” of people that you can have sex with and not have it be considered cheating?
A: Normally, this is where I would link back to her answer telling everyone to read it first. Which I can’t because for some reason the vita.mn archives didn’t list this question…
H: Man, is it a good thing you have online advice columnists to settle burning questions that make or break relationships…
My beer is getting warm, so I’ll make this quick.
1) Yes, lists are fine…and you know, whatever…most of the time I’m not paying that much attention to your celebrity hot list. You are dating me so what do I care about a list…pass the peas please, how was your day honey? Oh look, hot guy from your list in on TV…great…more wine?
2) About those lists - no one you know that you can actually talk to/hang out with can be on “the list”. That’s not an imaginary list of people you fantasize about but have absolutely no chance of hooking up with. That is a list of people you are going to bone with enough liquid courage. That’s called a preemptive cheating list. And yes, there is a difference.
3) If your guy is jealous and can’t handle you having a list…you need to do something to help out his confidence ASAP. Because…look…he’s threatened by an imaginary list of people who you want to bone. Yeah, I’d say you two have some relationship issues. And oh, hypothetical question - is he jealous of your dildo/vibrator as well? Yeah? Yeah, this might not just be about lists. This might be a bigger problem that probably deserves a longer answer. But I’m not getting into it now because I really don’t like warm beer. You can email Alexis your follow up question here .
4) Alexis – FYI – guys don’t replay conversations over in our mind - that’s a girl thing. We don’t understand why a) you are mad b) why did you hit me in the back of the head, seriously, wtf? What did I do/not do? Look Lexy, make life easy, don’t make me guess. We’ll all be happier in the end.
5) Drew Barrymore is on my list, but I still like you.
