I also am confused by your last comment caharmon (seems to be mixed up with another discussion).  Anyway, I don't see how criticizing hypoctrits supports your stance on infidelity - my understanding is that the guy is just saying don't be a damn hypocrit about it.

Regarding the thread on the newbie board I don't think most people gave you a hard time because of your oppinion (I agree cheating is wrong) - it was your bible thumping attitude that I had an issue with (we all have our weaknesses).

29% of the people here would dump their S.O. for seeing a male provider?  Unless a sizeable portion of this 29% are not currently seeing providers, we have a large number of hypocrites on this board.

.....just maybe a lot of us only see providers when we don't have a SO.


I think there are probably a lot more "faithful" people here than what the stereotype's might indicate. Either way 29% is not that high of a percentage.  After all there are 71% who would act differently.

That, my friends, is the difference

I don't know about that. I seem to remember a former survey that stated 50% of us had SO's. It does seem pretty damn hipocritical:) Me you ask? I voted to confront her. After all, I haven't had sex with her in 7yrs.

kind of backs up what I suggested.  You quote a survey that has 50% with SO's, guess what that says about the other 50%? No SO's.

Of course I didn't intend to mean that all 72% were of the faithful nature, all I was trying to indicate was that, even though we seem to be in a hobby that has a lot of negative stereotypes,that there are a lot of hobbiest who don't partake when involved in a relationship. Not hypocritical at all.

I'd do nothing. I don't care, she does what she wants, I do what I want. We hate each other and only live together for convenience. We've both agreed that a divorce is too costly at this time, and we rarely see each other.


hearing "success stories" like yours is why i proudly enjoy being single (and never married) despite having by now become something of a curious anomaly with friends and family


what are you doing in here, it says {EOM}

Single, no SO (at present, I'm saving myself for Eliza Dushku) never married and very much an anomaly withmy family and friends.

I love it when they try to set me up with a woman they think I'll like and be attracted to as well. You should see some of the "perfect" women they've set me up with. LOL

(no not japan, others)

it's as if they've run out of ideas on this side of the Atlantic and have to resort to importing ready-made-wives who've been "preprogrammed" to conquer obstinate batchelors like me!  LOL

Oh Joy!!!
Another blissfull marrital union.
  I stuck it out like you for over 6 years till I finally won the "starring contest" which got me the HOUSE!.  
Just like you jaejae it was...

     all about the money

But not all that long ago, I took a very similar position on the "Newbie" Board. I took a guy to task over cheating on his wife. Read the thread. You will not believe the grief I got over it. Now to me, I see little difference between being married and visiting a providor, and seeing a married providor.

Yet here my position is being defended. What gives?

I'm a little confused by your reply caharmon. I remember that thread, as I just skimmed over a few messages there. It seems you are totally against married men seeing anyone else.

In my situation it is ALL about the money. We have agreed to let each other see other people as long as we keep it discreet. Although I honestly don't think she is seeing another man, a woman possibly, but she hates men. Prior to marriage 8 or 9 years ago, I was out every night either with an escort or a woman that was trying to capture me. I found someone that kept her psychotic side hidden well and after a year of cohabitation we got married. 2 years of bliss and then all hell broke loose, I remained faithful and miserable until sometime in 2000. Guess what, I have a smile on my face once again, and I am no longer depressed.


sometimes i'm in awe of married men. not that i envy them their domestic bliss [cough] but more their determined struggle to make the best out of a bad situation and still enjoy life -- either with this hobby or with other things that help them work off marrital angst:  like "slicing the nuts off" their business competitors!

LOL

confuse this issue with the one I brought up.

I stand corrected, and sincerely apologize to everyone for my unexcusable oversight.


Happy 4th to all.

I may be getting the message here wrong but to me a lot of married men do this to keep their sanity and keep a marriage together.  For me it is because of two tennagers that I will not leave and a wife you has been a partner for over 30 yrs and I love, but there is no lust or passion left.  I meet some of the best women in the world that do not pose a threat to my family.

One is only a hopocrit to me if they are out preaching against such activity.  Something I never do.

I still waht to get to SD
