Isn't it grand that the ladies can usually do this. Impossible for fellas most of the time!

I think you'll find that a lot of guys get the opportunity to cheat on their partners and quite a few do. It's not an exclusively female phenomenon.

Indeed. It happens in every culture and is an equal opportunity activity. The one in the relationship takes the responsibility.

It's a very tricky situation. Given the amount of people who stay in relationships just so as not to be alone, you have to wonder how genuinely happy those in these sorts of couples are. One could imagine it would be better for them to be with someone they really get on with and should 'test the waters' so to speak by flirting with other people.

On the other hand, if you are with someone and they openly flirt or go even further when they are ostensibly supposed to be with you, then that sort of behaviour can cause real pain. And besides, as many have already alluded to, if she cheats with you, she is likely to cheat on you also. And even the most dedicated bachelor doesn't want that.

For my part, I like to think I can trust any girl I am with to go out by herself and not take things to far with men she speaks so. Or if she did, well the relationship would have to finish, no matter how well we got on.
