I see where you both are coming from (please this is hard for me - i love boyfriend very much, but Delena is a dear friend).
Naturally, most people will stick up for their partener and iam, but im also sticking up for Delena.
I think everyone has kinda got their wires crossed slightly, and i want to set things straight:
I agree that your post was mildly condecending in the way you talked down on our relationship slightly. maybe you didnt mean to word it like that, or it came out wrong, but in a place such as a board it is hard to show an emotion in text. You have strong opinions Delena, which is something to be proud of - but you have to give consideration to others in the way you may offend, and patronise - especially your comments on men, when there could be a million men out there reading it but dont want to post because of the strong negative opinion that is given out about the male kid.
Boyfriend: you definatly had no right to lash out like that. Appart from contradicting yourself and hurting others feelings, it was a childish manner to react. As others posts that followed yours said, discusssion is better than agression. Maybe you were right to challenge Delenas opinion, but hell, everyone has a right to challenge someones opinion, but no one (especially on a board where i say they cant act like this towards each other) has the right to start slating others down and just generally trying to hurt them.
One thing:
"my "offending" post was in no way directed at you"
this was said by Delena, and she also said:
"i'm trying to make you laugh and make a point at the same time, here, so don't get all offended)" - after talking about the rapunzal and sleaping beauty scenarios - yes they were pretty funny, and i didnt take them offensivly, but i can see how some of the things could have been taken offensivly.
I think this part boyfriend took very offensivly, but i really dont think you meant it to be (this is an example of where i think everyone got their wires crossed):
"maybe i'm just being uterine and hysterical, and plain typically female in my glorious "argumentative and contrary" tirade.
but i think not."
I seriously dont think i want to get to involved - i know it is my duty to make sure my board is a nice place for people to come, but i think you two can sort that out between yourselves by apologising or further explanation of what you meant by your posts.
