My grandparents are proof that this can happen. They fell in love and never parted... and never cheated... until my grandfather passed away.
I also truly believe that men and women both can be monogomous in a relationship... be that a marriage or boyfriend/girlfriend. Everyone will have urges from time to time. It is up to the individual whether or not they will follow through with them. If someone truly loves and cares for another, they will respect that person and remain faithful to him/her, no matter how strong their desires may be. I think a lot of this has to do with the times we are in today. Back when my grandparents were young and in love women did not flaunt themselves in front of men who are in a relationship as readily as some women do today . It is all too common today that people do not respect relationships. To me, that is a total lack of respect on the other woman's part and it really shows that she has little respect for herself. Men do this too, flirt with women who are in a relationship, but I think women are less likely to follow through with their urges because women tend to commit more to the heart. Just my two cents. I agree, and I think society romanticizes having affairs--always portraying the cheater as being treated unfairly by their partner, as if being "driven" to cheat--via the movies, soap operas, etc. They don't show the real aftermath of a broken family, with heartbroken children.  But I do believe that even if a single woman "flaunts" herself, it is still ultimately the married man the wife needs to blame if he strays, since he's the one she has the commitment with...the "other woman" most likely has low self-esteem and is trying to prove her attractiveness by going after something she's not supposed to have. And she is, of course, betraying her "sister" and placing male approval and desire before female friendship and respect I certainly agree with you... it is ultimately the man who is to blame if he strays. The media certainly doesn't help matters any at all, you're right. In cases of being "driven" to cheat, the man/woman who did so should have been mature enough to end the relationship prior to venturing out.  In my opinion, no one can drive another to cheat. There is no excuse for cheating. Period.High-Five, Heather/Feather!  Grrr... *feather*
High-five, you!
Why are you up so late? Oh wait... it is only 11:00 where you are, right? | |

Yes, only 11pm in stunning Seattle! It's been in the low 50s and sunny here! | |

Don't even get me started on what's wrong with this picture  ! I guess you were the one, girl! (getting played, that is!) | |

Yes, only 11pm in stunning Seattle! It's been in the low 50s and sunny here!lol.. I despise it so much because growing up at my grandmother's restaurant, the customers took to calling me "Feather Mitchell"... being that my name was Heather Michelle. I heard that for too many years I think. Just don't start calling me old, okay?
I am jealous... it is cold here. Though, today it warmed up to the 40's somewhere. I want SUN! | |

Well, she never apologized to me either for her Paula Jones comment! I'll have to take that up with her later!
I'm sorry... I guess I missed what went on between the two of you. | |

This thread was starting to remind me of the threads you used to post back when the GD forum was closed. Yes, you know it's funny I was just thinking today that a few Orgers have posted threads I did last summer. I tend to be most interested in gender stuff, and a couple of the Org women (and now Ice) have picked up the ball. It's nice to slip out of my token role and watch others run with it!
I was also thinking of how jaded I was about men/women/relationships/love and how my threads reflected that. I guess the Org can be therapeutic, when you've found your niche here. | |
