re cheating
i hear this alot. its all about him.
before we can make progress in the disaster called american marriage/divorce rollercoaster, aka marital industrial complex, people need to own their stuff.
stop dumping it all on the guy, please.
these threads bear a numbing similarity to the AA posts on ghetto problems; something i know a little bit about. utter denial of any responsibility whatsoever, of what happens on the hood.
what is true about detroit, is true about marriage. when the people of the community think there is a problem, then it will get better & not b4.
read the posts, for the moment, women dont think they got a woman problem, they think they got a man problem. if the guy would just shape up, everything would be ok. until that thinking changes, it wont get better.

I've spent many of my younger years working in nightclubs & women are just as bad as men are. Either way it's not right. The person doing the cheating is just as wrong as the person they are cheating with.

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say here. My point is that if a married person is cheating with a single person, the single person is not the one who promised to be faithful and is thus breaking a promise to a spouse. Sometimes the single person doesn't even know that they are sleeping with a married person until it's too late.

You haven't accounted for double dipping.

Why is this a surprise? Did people actually think humans are monogamous?

I think our emotions indicate us as such. Lately though we've been experiencing an overwhelming amount of anti-traditional rhetoric that tries to get us to override our natural emotional instincts.

I believe it come's down to choice if you want to be then yes. If you don't like the idea of being tied down then don't. There are those of us who like being married & in a relationship. I've never had any trouble keeping it in my pants. Again it's about choice.

That actually doesn't surprise me. What I don't understand is why someone would do that? I could maybe have a tad bit of understanding from somebody who is not getting something in their relationship I guess. Maybe for everybody else it's the thrill of getting away with something? Why would somebody put the emotions of somebody they care about at that level? People like this shouldn't even be in relationships. Why don't they just stay single??? Oh I forgot. According to society, it's baaaad to be single and alone.

Our emotions indicate other things that we would all think ridiculous as well. Also, anti-tradition is what we call progress. You know....the reason why women and blacks can vote.

Yes, this is valid for some.
