And it starts with not being honest and not communicating with each other. If you educate your wife bout aas the better she"ll understand bout them and won't think it's such a bad thing. Most people know what the papers and or news tells them bout aas. And if she does still stand firm and against it maybe we should stop using if we really care bout are wife's and or girlfriend, relationships, marriages. It all comes down to choice. Would you rather keep using drugs or build a relationship with love and honesty. I've tried both ways and I can tell you fom experience thers nothing like the love of a good woman. And guess what, she doesent like my aas use but she excepts it. Know why ? Cause I was honest and I respect her.But if you have kids and ever divorce, she will surely use your AAS usage against you if need be. I am 47 years old and have been around the block many times. The ideal that you find your life partner and share everything together and live happily forever after is just that, an ideal. 50% of all marriages end in divorce, and 50% of the people that stay married end up hating each other but don't divorce for various reasons (kids, financially they cannot, etc). It is a rare couple these days that stays together forever and is really happy and that shares everything. I actually do not think it true that you have to share everything with your spouse. There will be things you should keep to yourself to protect the marriage as best you can. Disclosing your AAS usage may or may not be the right thing for you, just depends on your situation and the women you are with. But dont take it as a black-n-white scenario, its all a shade of gray, like most major life decisions.
As for the situation with IamAuNatural, I think you should do what you believe is best for you, but that being said, she already holds the power differential if you stay with her, and she is only 17 and that means she does not know herself very well, and you are pretty young too, and probably dont know yourself yet either. Trust me, I did not understand people or myself until I was in my middle to late 30s. So, maybe the best course of action is take it slow, but be ready to move on, as the relationship already has 1 major strike against it, and the second strike, in my opinion, is extreme youth.
And it starts with not being honest and not communicating with each other = And guess what, she doesent like my aas use but she excepts it. Know why ? Cause I was honest and I respect her.
I always say honesty and communications are a key element of a good relationship... But I date girls a few years (atleast) older than me, just can't stand ones my age as they are more worried about getting smashed rather than realise a bloke wants a woman not a girl.
Great write up 3J. I totally agree with what your saying but I also know my wife of 20 years would flip her shit irrationally with no research and wouldn't let me sell her on the subject. For that reason I have kept it from her and that has worked for us
I would never tell a girlfriend hour my roid use. Your just giving her levage against you. What do you have to gain in telling her ? If she was my wife I'd tell her. That's my life partner. Also, if my wife does tell on me in a moment of anger then realizes she made a mistake, the court system can't make her testify against me cause she is my wife. Just my 2 cent lol.
They can use it against you in a custody battle, if it ever got to that point.
Just as 3J mentions... if it's a fling don't worry about it, but if you plan on staying with
her... you should be upfront and honest.
Yeah, if she happens to be a little bananas the last thing you want is her to be able to use AAS-use against you somehow.
