"Nagging"

LOL!!!!!! (That's funny considering some of the comments I made on this thread last night in reference to my first husband. I was his THIRD wife.)

Seriously, regarding your comment - when we met I was making nearly twice what he was - and neither of us cared! Now I'm a stay at home mom! And still neither of us care.

It is all a mater of maturity, commitment and perspective.

force it.......... i hope my husband does not have to force himself not to have sex with someone else..............gezzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Lorianne]

If I could only give one piece of advice about dating it would be... Be the person you want to find.

You are very wise.

My thoughts exactly! I was wondering which neighborhood bar has granted him Ph.D. Schmuck is a more appropriate appendage to his name: Mr. Galand, Sch.

I've been laughing uproariously over this thread for hours now. I've never seen so much over-intellectualization in one place in my entire life.

Men cheat on their wives because...drum roll please....

Because sex is tempting, and some men don't deal with temptation as well as others. Or, some people deal with temptation better than others, depending on your perspective. The truth is that lust is universal. Some will resist, others will succumb. Some will resist and still succumb, and others yet will relish the chance to give in but never find the opportunity.

I am soooooooo tempted to start a thread "Why do wives cheat on their husbands" because I just know that the intellectual hoops will become tighter, and set ablaze in an attempt to come up with the most convoluted explanation possible. Plus it would be somewhat humorous to see the "Women are scum" crowd offer up their opinions.

Just FYI, I found the whole notion that if the little woman is the man's fantasy, he'll never lust after another more than just a little laughable. Hopefully a marriage will have something stronger than hot sex behind it. It's much easier to lust after taught and tawny 22 year old than it is your 42 year old wife of 11 years (that would be my wife). You've never seen taught, young and tawny (hereafter TYT) with a runny nose. You've never seen vomit in TYT's hair. You never saw TYT's redneck grin (missing teeth)in the weeks between extraction and bridgework, etc etc etc.. TYT has never seen you in any of those situations as well, and it shows in the way she looks at you. If you knew that TYT had seen you cry like a baby the night the dog sniffed your butt, and you blew whiskey through your nose, you'd interpret her looks a little differently too.

The point being: Daily living is not sexy, and daily living is what marriage is all about.

I've been married 21 years and not once cheated on my wife.. and lord knows I tried.

[KirkandBurke]

Good on you. (both of you)

[Osinski]

Doesn't sound like "your boyfriend" will be good father material, since everything hinges on his woman's ability to be ready to be the best in quantity and quality whenever he so desires. Sounds like sex is his main focus.

[Osinski]

... I am shocked sometimes by what a man will allow himself to be seen with.

On second thought, you and your boyfriend sound just about right for each other.

[FITZ]

My guy thinks Camilla is sexy! He says that Diana looked sexless,

That might be true. Dianna looked sweet but it sounds like she was pretty neurotic. It can be hard to be around a neurotic person for very long.

[Terriergal]

Cuz the men that do this are too selfish to get the problem fixed in their marital relationship, or be faithful and do without sex even if the problem isn't fixed to his satisfaction.

Same goes for women who do this.

[Terriergal]

Boy what a bunch of semantic drivel.

I hope your wife agrees.

[Rebelbase]

Darling, you are headed for a heap o' trouble if you marry that man.

[Terriergal]

or is Chucky just into self abuse with ugly women. We may never know.

With that attitude you certainly won't.

You don't need a special thread for that crowd. On FR, Every Day is Women are Scum Day!!!
