View Full Version : A (hypothetical) MORAL DILEMMA:
Carl_Malibu 16-01-2006, 19:31 lets get your moral heads on.
You have an absolute choice, one or the other.
A boyfriend/girlfriend who is completely devoted and in love with you in every single way, everything you've wanted, witty, funny, exciting, etc. but every couple of weeks they go out and find someone random and meaningless to have sex with. you're aware of this, and nothing is hidden. The reasoning being that to really appreciate what they have with you they need to have something meaningless too
OR
A boyfriend/girlfriend that is completely faithful, and again very in love with you, but is unexciting, whiney, and generally a waste of space
ONE OR THE OTHER
discuss:
fox20thc 16-01-2006, 19:36 Hypothetical eh? :suspect:
re option 1. are you hypothetically that dull that they need to have sex with strangers.
re option 2: It takes two to make a relationship unbearably dull. :rolleyes:
the first option, he/she is taking liberties with your emotions/feelings for him/her thinks you are so much in love with them they can walk all over you dump em
option 2 reliable,trustworthy,there for you when you need them,not when it suits them, keep hold off them
option one is some sort of paradox. If they were completely in love with you and devoted blah blah blah, then they wouldn't do anything that would hurt you.
So either you are completely happy with them doing that, in which case, it's fine for you, or you aren't happy with it and they wouldn't do it because they love you and are completely devoted blah blah.
option 2 sounds like you don't love them, so why would that relationship exist.
There's always the 3rd option, neither of them if neither is right for you.
That's the problem with making hypotheical situations, they don't encompass all the available real options, why would anyone limit themselves to two choices when there clearly is a third?
Carl_Malibu 16-01-2006, 19:51 hmmm the key word Cyclone being hypothetical - you're not committing yourself to anything. It's obviously never going to come to a point where you are in a situation like this with ONLY those options. The idea is I create a fabricated universe, and an ultimatum, and you place yourself there and try your hardest to see what you'd do IF that was the case.
and for anyone that cares information this is hypothetical, its just one of those things that jumps into my head at 4am.
Carl_Malibu 16-01-2006, 19:52 and personally, I'd like to be able to say number one, but alas I think I'm too much of a jealous individual to manage with a situation like that, even if I was ASSURED that it was meaningless etc.
so probably number 2, despite all the faults etc.

You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink. ;)

Im not sure how long a girl would want to be with you if you go around calling them horses :rolleyes:

it's logically inconsistent though, your fabricated universe depends on a paradox, so it makes little sense. Why try to come up with an answer to a question that funamentally can't exist in the way it's stated.
AtticusFinch 17-01-2006, 11:14 I'd say number two. It sounds to me like number one wants to have their cake and eat it. They want to be in a relationship, but yet still sleep around as if they're single. You can't have it both ways! :)
I'd dump him/her and be single.
