Had to ask because of a series of events that seem to have got me thinking about possible reasons why Hollywood unions generally do not last as long as they should.

Could it be great beauty, a momentary weakness - just long enough to drop pants and panties before crawling into bed?

Could it be exposure to a movie that showed someone else getting away with it or a depressingly low point in life when either your spouse/SO is not living up to your high expectations or when just about anything else moving outdoors seems better than what's at home?

 I often wonder. What about you - would that be enough to warrant cheating?

    bronx- I couldn't do it. That might break my heart more than hers. Besides which, I have a twenty-five year-two month perfect record. It would be a tragedy to let that go.

    I wouldn't do it either.
  • wombat said on Oct 17, 2007....
    I wouldn't do it now in this current marriage.  I guess I did sort of in a past one--but only after he had cheated numerous times, and we knew the marriage was over.  (just not technically or legally)  He didn't find out!  But when I finally left, I let him think I had cheated with someone, just to get out of it all a little easier.  To this day, he thinks I slept with this guy at work.  We were just friends.  My ex, on the other hand, slept with everybody from my friend to a prostitute.  But that was ok, right?  He was a man, and couldn't help himself, and I should just "get over it!"

    I have not cheated in a relationship but my ex husband was a pro at it. In my current relationship I could not imagine cheating or him cheating on me. If you are in a place where looking and cheating are your next course of action its best just to move on.

    Being on the receiving end of a spouse's infidelity has probably been the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with ... that being said, if it was the only issue at play in our deteriorating marriage, I would have done my best to forgive it so we could both move forward.  I am not justifying his actions.  Adultery has no excuses, but like any other situation, there were two sides to the story.  We had underlying problems and this forced them to the surface.  I just wish that he would have been honest enough to do it another way.  The pain from it was horrendous.  That alone would keep me from doing it to anyone else.

    Right now in my current life i wouldnt do it to anyone....I did it once and it hurt the guy and I said i would never do it again (surprisingly he is married but still wants to talk to me)....my last relationship we broke up coz of 'suspected cheating' according to him...but I was convinced he was cheating on me coz he had a woman staying in his house for 4 straight days that he couldnt even introduce me to...I wouldnt in a million years cheat on anyone anymore..it's too much to handle

    beyond: yeah, I can see how your silver jubilee would be far more valuable than the proverbial seven-year itch.

    You're a real gentleman, Sir.
  • Bronx said on Oct 20, 2007....
    pickers: hi....you're a true and proper lady, IMHO.
  • Bronx said on Oct 20, 2007....
    wombat: hello....I guess you really showed your ex-h about the golden rule in marriage: what's good for the gander is also great for the goose.
  • Bronx said on Oct 20, 2007....
    namyogrl: hi...WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

    I agree with you: a secure relationship should not give rise to anything but trust.
  • Bronx said on Oct 20, 2007....
    Artemis: hello...so sorry about your experience. Yes, it can be quite a let down for a woman.

    You're a very considerate person, IMHO.
  • Bronx said on Oct 20, 2007....
    moyz: WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

    That's quite a little bit of history you've got there.

    Yes, some situations can be a bit too hot to handle - better to let sleeping dogs lie sometimes. ;)
  • silverwhisper said on Oct 21, 2007....
    that's an extremely difficult question to answer. i've been the cheater before so i can't say i'd rule it out wholesale, in all honesty, but i do try to conduct my life in such a way that it's resistant to such an occurrence.

    sw: hi. That sounds very fair to me: love is sometimes where and when you find it.

    Three things my husband said to me before we got married:
    (1) Don't cheat on me - " Luv ya hunny, but people are
                                                    dying from all kindza diseases"
    (2) Don't ever hit me - "Luv ya babe, but I just don't know what
                                                 I might do ifn ya hit me?
    (3) Don't drink alcohol - "Been there--done that, and i aint pretty
                                                  when I drink, and if you drink, i might
                                                  just find myself back there agin, and hunny,
                                                   when Im like that, i aint funny or pretty"

    Sometimes I hope I become a lion, but Im just a cat!

    luv:  hi....WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

    I agree with you that trust is important .....and, don't worry - a lion is just a big cat.

    Its not about the sex that makes one cheat.
    Its feeling that your missing something and someone shows up who can give you that thing you are missing ... whether it be attention, making you feel good, or even sex.

  • Bronx said on Oct 30, 2007....
    lisamay: hello and  WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

    That's great to know but I feel that, perhaps, it would be much better to register one's dissatisfaction with one's SO by complaining or disengaging from the relationship first before succumbing to any mesmerizing presence that seems to fulfill our momentary emotional/physical need.

    I think peple just like to have the best of the both world's or even a perfect world..but it just doesnt happen like that...we dont live in a perfect world...just a perfectly good world...so it's a case of people just acknowledging that if they could water their grass some more...it would just be as green as next door's...lol
  • Bronx said on Nov 03, 2007....
    moyz: hi. Yes, many people dream of what they cannot have a bit too often, rather than makig do with what they actually have or going solo when they realize they need more than they already have.

    I guess that's all human nature really.

    Sometimes it's just about sex and needing a little affection.

It had to happen eventually....

I went to this chat line about 2 or 3 weeks ago. On there, I met this guy and we started talking on the phone. We met each other and I like hanging out with him. He's a nice guy. He has a decent job, a great personality, and very respectable, but I don't...
I was talking to a friend and she asked what is means to be in a relationship today. She had this same discussion with a male friend of hers. What he said in a nutshell was that today people get into relationships for selfish reasons. One may want a rela...
