I no longer care...its still a soap opera to me because there's so little any of us know as to what is going on behind the scenes...so I'm just sitting back, chillin' out enjoying the whole thing from here on out.Thanks for your two great last posts. You are quite welcome DWI. At the end of the day, despite RLC's name, this is not real lifel. The cams everywhere is a prism that will always distort reality. So there is nothing wrong with just enjoying the show. Yet most of these cast members -- some more than others -- are trying to live their lives as normally as possible. They have goals, dreams, passions, etc. Trying to see and appreciate what is real and authentic versus what is simply a "porn scene" ... is what makes this so addictive for me.

StanRB Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 2 hours ago, JenniferMom said: Thank you @emnv. It's sad but good to know that this "issue" in their relationship has not changed very much. People don't change very easily. Alberto tried by putting away the xbox and doing some exercising, etc., but it is difficult to sustain a commitment to new behaviors. As most know, I don't defend Alberto a lot; however, with Martina so focused on her studies, going to bed early, etc., it is difficult to blame him for dragging out the xbox. But the solution is simple for him ... hire a dog sitter if necessary and BE WITH MARTINA. Unfortunately, I don't think he is very social and does not like the same things that Martina likes, i.e. partying, dancing, socializing, etc. But if you truly LOVE someone, you do things that you don't necessarily enjoy yourself. We have seen Martina in front of the xbox ... now it is your turn Alberto. I agree Stan but only if Alberto and Martina were married 5-15 years with kids etc etc. I don't think we have determined accurately that they are married and clearly they are still quite young. Most importantly, Martina has a TON OF OPTIONS in front of her and she seems to be focused on her life being fulfilling, etc. She has goals, desires, purpose, and mission. If the comment made about her thinking of another lesbian affair is true, it felt to me as if this was a very purposeful almost goal-oriented comment, i.e. one of her goals in life is to experience bisexual love. For me, sex is not a goal, it just happens 🙂 ... but it's interesting to hear that comment from her, as if a lesbian relationship is on her bucket list (again if that comment is true). People will tolerate things for a long time before they cannot tolerate it anymore ... either physically or emotionally. You see people all the time limping for years needing a knee replacement ... then one day they decide to just get it done. What changed? Significant events ... like having a child ... can change the trajectory of these sorts of things. But honestly, if Martina does not truly love Alberto, having a child would be a bad decision. If her frustration with her beloved ni ni doesn't come to an acceptable resolution, I think at some point the relationship will end. Lastly, I am not rooting for their relationship to end nor am I rooting for them to stay together. It could still go either way at this point. I am just commenting on this ... shall I dare say ... soap opera. 🙂 Good day Jen! What I meant by regular reproach is... It's not a new issue, it's the same issue. Usually in a relationship, you ask your significant other to change things. The person will change things for a certain time, then things will go back to normal and you will have to remind the person again to change things. I've been married for so long and my wife still has to remind me to put the toilet seat down. I will do it for few weeks...then I will forget. I'm sure you have to do the same with your kids and most likely with your significant other. Alberto will be more attentive to Martina's need for a period of time and 2-3 months from now she will have to remind him again. Life I so much easier when you learn that you can't change people. Btw Jen, you really love the word ni ni 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never thought of RLC as anything near a porn site...it just doesn't qualify as one from the porn sites I've seen unless people think its a soft porn site I guess. I do think though that a few things that happen on RLC are real such as when a participant is clearly distressed about a reallife situation and cries on cam. Or when sometimes a participant gets into a real argument...like Masha has been known to do at times...a real argument is hard to fake and I'm not many of the people on RLC could pull that off. So, I have to admit, I share your addiction. Is there any hope for us or are we doomed for eternity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this cycle of trying to change and then reverting to old behaviors will continue to go on. For these two it could continue forever and they will have a happy life together. If they were married for 20 years I would not worry. But honestly I am not convinced this relationship is that solid. She does adore him a lot so it could survive. I just wish rather than us picking sides, we just see what happens. And yes, "ni ni" is my all time favorite Catalan word! Thanks to my crush Martina and her delivery partner @emnv for bringing it to me. Can't begin to describe how perfect this word to describe many of my former lovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are probably doomed but not necessarily doomed to RLC. I missed out on the Game of Thrones hysteria but I heard that was pretty good. Now maybe this Squid thing is something?

Hi Jen, little information which is not really important. nini is a spanish expression, not necessarily catalan.😉 But by the way I've also seen the discussion yesterday and thanks to emnv for the translation. I think it's good that Martina has brought up the matter again. That shows me that she really care about their relationship and that she also addresses the problem, in contrast to Alberto. Also shows me that she would like to do more together, but Alberto doesn't seem to react on that, for reasons that I can't understand. But that shows me that we miss a lot of infos. 🤷♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why the relationship seems to be rocky but strong? Any thoughts they get out of RLC soon and also get married? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They seem to be rocky but strong." The old adage is opposites attract. They seem to have different opinions in many areas but at the end they listen to each. They talk a lot. I often see them discussing the news, discussing what's happened to each other during the day or the night, deciding if the one wants to cook for the other, deciding how the chores around the house arel divided, loving the dogs and fish together, she talks to her mother while Alberto listens, and they respect each other when one wants to make love and the other does not necessarily want to. I can go on and on. Love is not only the physical one but also the mental one. They get into an argument and they seem to know how to resolve the argument. They are tolerant of each other. As Yelt says "they seem to be rocky but strong". I like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Yelt says "they seem to be rocky but strong". I like that. This all seems well and good Dave (and Yelt) but you are missing the elephant in the room. What you describe sounds like it could be my parents. They get along well and are happy but have their disagreements and don’t seem to have a lot of common interests. They just crossed 40 years of marriage and are going strong. But … I have not checked recently … but my mom has not had a bisexual affair with a married woman as far as I know! This is the X Factor in this relationship. Don’t get me wrong, Martina and Alberta are very open and I love that. Being sexually open … or sex positivism as some call it … is wonderful! But I do wonder how it will ultimately affect their relationship. Remember in the early days of M&N, people here were aghast and saying things like “what if Alberto cheated” etc. Now that the fling is over, we accept it. But I still wonder how it will ultimately affect things going forward. And this is NOT to mention anything possibly more dark going on in Martina’s life when she sleeps over night God knows where. Anyway … good post … but like an elephant … don’t forget the past! This story is not over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
