Sister Rhoni I'm not saying you are old or anything but the time frame you were brought up your usage of words proably stems from a then and not usage.

Scott Hutchinson · #**232** 02-13-2009, 09:56 AM

Words can mean different things depending on their usage I'm only 41 but my daughters use different terms than I did at their ages.

Rhoni · #**233** 02-13-2009, 09:56 AM

When people want to prove their point they take unto themselves strange bedfellows. Before this turns into a stone Rhoni thread I am exiting to do my work, which is more important than many of your remarks. Don't you just love the thousands of hits my threads get? I guess negative attention is better than being ignored

:P!

Blessings, Rhoni

Definitions of the word are many. I am not sure why many of you always look at worst case scenerio.

Blessings, Rhoni

www.dictionary.com says:

1. a person who is in love with another.
2. a person who has a sexual or romantic relationship with another.
3. a person with whom one conducts an extramarital sexual affair.
4. a person who has a strong enjoyment or liking for something, as specified: a lover of music.
5. a person who loves, esp. a person who has or shows a warm and general affectionate regard for others: a lover of mankind.

Frankly, I can't imagine being in love with someone and not wanting to have sex with them. Maybe you have a different set of hormones than the rest of us.

Isn't it a little unfair to the man, too? "Nuzzle my neck, baby, but it won't ever go any farther, and marriage (and permissible sex) is permanently out of the question!"

Anyway, if you are using ANY of the first three definitions, a sexual relationship/chemistry is implied, at the very least. Which makes ALL of our questions in context, and your sanitized version out of context.

That would probably be the best evaluation.

Perhaps you should see a counselor!

No, Rhoni, it doesn't. I wanted to have sex with my husband before we were ever married!!!! It was one of the reasons we GOT married.

And he wasn't my lover in every sense of the word UNTIL we got married and consummated the relationship.

If you're in love with someone, and you don't ever want to have sex with them, then there's a problem, and you should probably warn them in advance.

Blessings, Rhoni

Actually, Rhoni, I don't believe, nor have I implied that you have done or are planning to do anything terrible or immoral.

For some reason, you seem content to play with words in a manner in which you KNOW you are leading others to believe that.

You are being deliberately obtuse.

MrsMcD · #**238** 02-13-2009, 10:01 AM

When I think of lover, I do not think of a married couple.

I do appreciate your prayers and I listen to what applies and file in 13 the things that do not. I do understand that you love me and wish the best as I do you.

Rhonda, the past hurts play deeply into the present, as it does with us all. Our past experiences, teaching, bias, or whatever play into every decision, action, and word, whether we realize it or not.

It is an obvious in your every post and in every conversation. They have carried over to the present...very much so.

As for stoning you...oh dear Rhonda, no one wants to stone you!! What child of God would even consider such a thing.

And no one wants to "call you out," but your comments are out of control.

You don't mind in the least saying whatever comes into your head to say. Furthermore, you have no problem with holding someone else's feet to the fire, but when you are questioned, it's us against you.

Not so, sis...we are NOT against you. Quite the opposite...

Rhoni, I don't know you personally and my only view of you is what you post. IMO, you seem to believe that the world is out to get you and it appears that you make it a self-fullfilling prophesy when it doesn't happen. This thread is a pretty good example of that.

You surely can't believe that 99% of the people who read your "lover" statement will not interpret this in the most commonly accepted manner LOVER is a word that has taken on the meaning of its most common usage _ and that is sexual

You appear to be intelligent and you must surely know that You remind me of Bill Clinton wanting to redefine the meaning of the word "is."

If you only mean what you say you mean by the term "lover" then why not use a word decriptive of that? You know that most people are going to associate a different meaning. And it appears that you want to provoke everyone so that you can justify new hurts. JMO. Don't invite hurt to yourself. When you send a written invitation out to the world to hurt you and misread your unclear intentions, someone is going to accept that invitation.

From your posts, it seems you may enjoy being the offended party. That cheats you out of a lot of joy in life and in conversations. Again, JMO based on what you post.
