[net.news.group] net.relationships vs net.love_sex

>> line for the great love_sex god <<

Since I was not able to see the original submittion for net.love_sex
I don't know what was  proposed.   I will  throw  my two cents worth in
anyway.

I think that such a  group is much needed.   I propose  the  instead of
net.love_sex  that  the  group  be  net.relationship.  This would cover
all facets  of love,  sex, marriage, living with one other, breaking up
and all  of the  other goodies.   Please no flames.   I know  that this
is covered in  part by net.singles.   I also  feel that  net.singles is
getting a lot of what  should be in such a group but net.singles is the
closest thing to it and  has therefore  became a catch-all for anything
to do with interpersonal relationship.   With it being broader it opens
up the subject to  all aspects  of interpersonal relationships.  I feel
that I have a lot  to learn  about dealing  with people.   It  would be
very nice to have a news group devoted to the subject of relationships.
Outside  of sex there is not to much different between husband and wife
type  relationship and  any other  relationship.  I understand that the
degree of the feeling and involvement  are  different but  a lot of the
problems are same.

submitted for your approval.

In fact, such a group was created many, many moons ago but it is not being
used for the purpose it was intended for. It is net.social. People just
continue to use net.singles!!
