Would you stay married if your partner was cheating on you?<

LOL!

[Little Bill]

Who else have you got, Kerry? I have lived in Mass for 44 years and I can swear that he is swine. Hold your nose vote for Bush and beat the hell our of your Congressman on the issues.

[Dan(9698)]

I am sure I would stay married. You can't file for devorce if you are dead.

[B4Ranch]

The Mrs. and I are doing just fine after 26 years. You need to read further.

Seems to me a better analogy for the Federal Government would be more of a Rapist than a Lover... If you dont "put out" to the Feds you are threatened with violence and imprisonment, with some one you love there is no threats.

Your Honor, As I stand here under the American flag, I am requesting that you to grant me a divorce from the Republican Party, and our President. I am refusing to be a prostitute for the Mexican people any longer. I am refusing to give them my freedoms and my liberty which I have earned. This request is based upon this testimony and the hundreds of documents I have previously provided this your court.



Nuff said.

[mombonn]

My advice: Don't drink before writing vanity posts. It may have sounded clever and profound, but it isn't.

[Atlas Sneezed]

So you're gonna divorce George and go sleep around with Lurch? OK.

How about divorcing the lout, and remaining celibate until a reliable, man who can be faithful to his vows comes along?

[sonserae]

Here's the deal...When a woman cheats, she's longing for emotional closeness. When a man cheats, he's longing for physical closeness. When a woman gets to the point of cheating, it can be dangerous because that means she's bonded "emotionally" with that person enough to want to sleep with them. That is more difficult to get over. When men cheat, they may love their wives, but seek more physical pleasure outside the marriage. They don't have to bond with the one they are cheating on. So....the marriage can be reconciled when the man stops cheating but it rarely happens the other way around because the woman has already severed the emotional bond with the husband in order to open herself up emotionally to someone else.

In your case, the marriage was most likely in trouble even before she cheated. There was some emotional needs that weren't getting met that forced her to look outside the home. That is where you need to look at what mistakes you have made. Maybe if you realize some of the nurturing, caring, cherishing, adoring, emotional support that your wife might have needed that you failed to see can be turned around, she might give you another chance.

The fact is, no one can change anyone...but everyone can change themselves. If there is a transition in you, things might work out...But...she may be a woman who because of her bad childhood or lack of morals, your being who you are or changing won't help.

Say a prayer and hope for the best....

Oh, I thought this was something serious.

I did too at first. Post 12 tipped me off and the lightbulb went off in my head. :)

Here is the problem....and a very serious one indeed

This will sober up the Bush is too liberal crowd real fast:)

Here are the issues where critics accuse John Kerry of being too liberal to win:

1. Against the death penalty in almost all cases.

2. Voted many times against tax cuts.

3. Supported killing military programs, including the B-1 and B-2 bombers.

4. Voted against banning "partial-birth" abortions and against parental notification when minors have abortions.

5. Voted against Defense of Marriage Act, which permits states to refuse to recognize gay marriages in other states.

6. Voted against the 1991 Gulf War.

7. Voted against $87 billion to support U.S. troops and rebuild Iraq.

8. Called for taxing guns and ammunition to pay for anti-crime programs.

9. Pushed to cut CIA funding - then griped about poor intelligence after 9/11.

10. Supported furloughs for first-degree murderers.

I see threads going into the thousands, and perhaps bringing back the fine FR expats in the 'other forum'

[MEG33]

I knew that!..I was talking about your obvious feeling of betrayal by the Republican Party.You did not find me helpful?

[Lazamataz]

Would you stay married if your partner was cheating on you?

Yes.

I would give that woman one more chance, and subject her activities to additional scrutiny.

Everyone deserves ONE second chance.

[sauropod]

Prescient. ;-)

Observe a few other threads on the forum this afternoon and note who is doing what to whom.

Very telling.

[MEG33]

So was mine!

[Rebelbase]

"So you're gonna divorce George and go sleep around with Lurch? OK. "

Could be worse, Hillary still has a chance.

[Lazamataz]

Argh. You got me. I read the headline, not the article.

You suck. You get no second chance.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Interesting question. Am I better off with or without him? What are the alternatives? Kerry? Dean? 3rd Party Spoiler?

Stay married because the alternative sucks, but when he wants sex, tell him he is on his own.

Lesson learned: no one is going to look after you better than you. We have been rather complacent (as a whole) demanding the attention we deserve.
