"And yet for my husband and me, it seems that marriage simply adds a new category of potential suitors: the couple with a crush on us." -- David Valdes Greenwood ------------------------------------------------------ COUPLING Four's a Crowd Breaking up with one person is hard enough. But when it's a couple you want to avoid, it can get ugly. By David Valdes Greenwood | July 24, 2005

Once you marry, you think you are safely removed from the perils of dating. And yet for my husband and me, it seems that marriage simply adds a new category of potential suitors: the couple with a crush on us.

I'm not talking about the swinging suburban "key parties" that took place in the avocado- and rust-decorated dens of the `70s. Recently, a couple we hardly knew decided that we were their best, closest, dearest, most thrillingly vital friends. Having this level of passion directed toward us became a little unnerving and, though flattering, in the end was not entirely welcome - especially since we already had best-close-dear-vital friendships that came about more organically.

The scenario was striking for how closely it followed the outline of a doomed romance. It began with the Casual Meeting. We met the other couple at a dinner party given by mutual friends.

It was a little surprising when we got the Eager Call a mere day later from that same couple asking us over for dinner that very weekend.

[...]

We do feel guilty. But we can only hope that new friends have since assured them that we are jerks and told them what they really needed to hear: They're better off without us.

The ongoing Boston Globe campaign to normalize homosexuality and promote "gay marriage", in this case the "Coupling" column written by Mr. David Greenwood, referring to his "husband" -----------------------------------------------------

I didn't even look at the author's name. I assumed the couple in question was a normal couple i.e. male + female.

There are two gays, out there, who after reading this will say, "Oh, so that's what happened."

Delusions of self-grandeur come immediately to mind.

What a narcissistic twit.

"Scholarship & Research: Monthly columnist for Boston Globe Magazine. Patriot Act analysis for Boston Phoenix; Waco tragedy analysis for Boston Phoenix."

Why do I have this feeling I don't need to read a single one of his "Patriot Act" or "Waco tragedy" (?) analysis pieces to know exactly what they're going to say?

Check, please.

In my sophmore year at high school we had a new brother and sister set of twins show up after moving in nearby that summer; they were the first black kids to have attended there and absolutely all the kids fell all over themselves rushing these two like they were celebrities.

This was in Fairmont, Wv in 1955 at East Fairmont High.

West Fairmont High School had all the other black kids in town as well as the kids from the richer families; had more fights too, but I think that was just because they had more kids overall.

This is, as I have been saying all along, a fad, just a fashion that, in its time, will fall quietly by the way.

He's got that 'Ned Beatty Grin'.

Geez, can you imagine having these kinds of problems?

I don't give a chit what the MSM says, these fruitcakes aren't "just like you and me-we're all the same"

Yet more promotion of degeneracy by this state's degenerator in chief -- the Boston Globe.
