Hi I am Rhinos wife, Angela. I have never met any of you, so while not wanting to send the wrong impression, I can't help but respond to all of this.
First of all this is a guy I have known since birth. I mean that literally, his mom and my mom were best friends and pregnant together with us. They are still friends now, we took family vacations together as kids and have been friends our whole lives. When we were 17 we tried dating..... ewwwww!!! It was like kissing my brother. The most 'intimate' (as Rhino says) it got was a kiss, that is all. The entire dating relationship lasted no more than 2 weeks. I already know there is zero chemistry, been there, done that. There is absolutly no interest in a sexual relationship. He is the only guy I sign email to Love Ya because he is the only guy friend I have that I exchange emails with, do I say love ya to male collegues at work that I am friends with..... NO! This relationship with Scott, is unique, it is the longest friendship I have, he is like a brother. And unless you have a friendship that is equivalent to this it is hard for you to have an informed opinion. Like a nonskidiver going on and on about how cool jumping is..... how do they know when they've never been out of a plane going 100+. ?????
Rhino knew of this relationship with Scott when he began dating me. The incident Rhino refers to of Rhino showing up un-announced and Scott and I being kicked back, him with out his shirt on, needs more explanation. First of all we were outside with my daughter with our feet in the kiddie pool, it was 90+ degress out. The reason he hurried up and put his shirt on, wasn't out of guilt, it was out of proper up bringing. It wasn't appropriate according to the standards Scott and I were raised with to be around someone you don't know without your shirt on. And this was the first time he and Rhino had ever met.
And no he did not have permission to check my email, not because I am hiding anything, but because he shouldn't have to.
And to answer the unasked question.... no I have never cheated on Rhino, not while dating not while married, never.
And, would I care if he signed his email correspondences Love Ya..... NO not if the email is to a friend and it is meant in a friendly manner, not at all. If it was to someone whom he had banged, than yes I would have something to say about that.
Rhino is an awesome man, strong, and driven. With flaws just like the rest of us. I love him despite his bullying sometimes intimidating nature. (Who Rhino????) I can handle that and stand up to it because I am an intelligent strong woman. And I teach highschool I do it all day We frequently butt heads because we are both very strong willed, but standing together we are unbeatable. We just like any newly married couple are learing the ropes.... send us good vibes while we work on it
