I agree but heres the funny thing about it. If a woman is fed up and you get her reasons for cheating it all seems so reasonable doesnt it?
Emotionally absent hubby? The Spark isnt there? Etc etc....Its all so whimsical. Those are "good reasons". But because men are dogs and women typically are not...thats a pass.
For men, there are no good reasons ever. I'm talking about in society not you individually
Sorry, totally missed this post.
Man or woman...I dont condone cheating. In my book there is never a good reason. You completely betray the person who has put their trust in you.
It may take years for the spouse to find out about the cheating, but in the end, it always comes out. THen yes, that person feels their whole married life has been a lie. Memories are tainted. What else have they lied about. The trust is gone.
Thats womens thinking tho. Once viewed logically everyone sees that this frame of mind makes no sense.
Every time you walk out that door, they will be wondering if youre going to cheat on them. Thats not a way to live. Do people get past infidelity? Of course they do. But its a hard, long road. Never mind if there are children involved. They will sense soemthing is "off".
So a few nights of "variety" to kill the mundane .... is it worth it?
It really depends on the individual. I mean like someone else said they were in a bad marriage and cheated which ended the marriage. Overall it can be for the better if things are falling apart. If not and everything is fine then of course the repercussions arent worth it but gamblers gamble
Fogive me for not understanding your line of reasoning. Perhaps because I am female.
How does it make no sense? I know the affair partner meant nothing to YOU and was just about the sex, but your wife doesnt know that. When in a marriage...its not about you anymore. Its about the team. Some small part of me thinks that its the lying that is the most destructive. Yes, we know that people can have sex without feelings. But the LYING is worse.
If you are in a bad marriage, work on it. Cheating/lying will just make it worse. Work on the marriage..counseling, talking, more sex.. I dont know. I do know that lying makes things worse... in all situations.
