"Interesting."

To say the least.

"It's also the case for the baby-boomer generation: we're all Peter Pans..."

Bingo. Being someone who ended her marriage due to infidelity (his, not mine) nothing p*sses me off more than the selfish, boorish behavior some people display.

If you're not happy with your spouse, then end it. No need to drag someone you've promised to "love, honor and cherish" through a very public (in our case) compost pile.

It STILL burns me up to this day; and I've been happily re-married for a decade, now.

Bad manners are simply bad manners...but he's divorced a THIRD time now, so his problems go much deeper than simply "bad manners," LOL!

Hmm.

We will always have some level of friendship with those of the opposite sex.

We will not always have some level of physical relationship with the same.

In the end, physical cheating is worse, and it brings a host of consequences, physical, emotional, and mental.

A follow-up to missyme's thread.

What are your opinions on the subject?

I have one married female friend who says that she doesn't care if her husband has a toss in the hay with someone - but an emotional relationship without the boinking would hurt her more.

I was surprised.

I have many married male friends. Their wives know me and have no problem with our friendship - at least I don't think they do. I guess I'm either frugly or trustworthy. I hope it's the latter.

;-)

Isn't that like Harry Met Sally?

Can men and women really be friends or does Sex always get in the way?

"...All they do is email each other all day, and do very little work..."

Sounds like our work. We have an employee - employee of the month (a first for us, as we work for a technology management company that manages the client's technology resources). She did a fantastic job, had good follow-up on open helpdesk calls, etc. A model employee.

About two months later, she started to frequent around a co-worker's work area. From them there it turned into IM, phone calls, an argument not related to a work issue, etc. Worktime for her and some friends is scheduled around lunchtime soccer, or floor hockey or volleyball. Other times are spent in another co-worker's office giggling and laughing - and doing nothing else. Supposedly, the co-worker is helping her with a "work project".

I've mentioned her antics to her supervisor - he does not want to deal with it. She went from an outstanding worker to easily one of the worst workers in the department in the space of one year.

I've advised the FT employees and Interns that work for my group to steer clear of her.

Didn't read the whole thing, but, if my man were having an affair of the head and heart, it would be equally as traitorous as one of the body.

Has anyone stopped to consider what Jesus had to say?

Matthew 5:27 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery';
Matthew 5:28 but I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
