  • Nah. You’re the dick on this one.

    There’s a line in every relationship where doing something outside the relationship is disrespectful.

    Most will agree that sex with other people is over the line. You have sex with someone else and you’ve betrayed the relationship. Even in open relationships it’s common to say “only if I know about it”. That’s rarely “the line” though. That will be something before sex. It might be keeping secrets, or meeting people in date-like scenarios, or getting naked with others.

    If they’ve talked and decided between them that nudity with others when apart is over their line, that’s their choice and you have to respect that.

















  • No.

    Russia (the current primary aggressor) is on the brink of a banking system collapse. It doesn’t have the money to wage war on a bigger scale than it already is.

    China is far more interested in trade than hostilities.

    The middle east has been a tinder box for over a hundred years. I don’t see it dragging outsiders into it and hopefully we have a respite coming.

    Central Asia has tension between India and Pakistan, but that’s nothing new. India could piss off China or the reverse, and if that kicked off the loss of life could be on a scale that would be unprecedented but still I think it wouldn’t drag the west in.
