    Well only found out today that my neighbour who got married two wends ago has already split from his wife because she was sleeping with her boss for ages.

    Have a friend who constantly cheats on his wife too and another who getting married in 5 weeks and he slept with woman on stag in Liverpool.

    I would say of the married couples I know friends wise 50% them at least one has cheated...

    I worked in a factory one summer between years in college, the gossip I heard, my eyes were opened everyone is at it.

    To be honest, my first wife cheated while we were married with a co-worker.
    Gave her and our marriage a second try, when I discovered she did it again, it was game over or should I say marriage!

    Don't know about the ratio as regards Ireland but I do know some countries rank way above others for some reason for extra-marital affairs.

    For the record: I have never cheated. I'm old fashioned when it comes to love and honour.

    I know very few that have. I take any gossip with a large pinch of salt. Most gossip has a malcious/ulteriour purpose.

    It happens alright, Don't think it would be 50/50 overall,

    You only hear about couples who are splitting up,

    You never hear people say look at that couple there really happy,

    Anyway if you only finding out after you got married that your partner was cheating on you you didn't really no him/her in the first place.

    Damn man, sorry to hear that.

    I know of a fair few lads from my old soccer and gaa teams who wouldn't give it a second thought - I was always uncomfortable when out with them, I knew the wives

    I know of a heap of people who have done it/do it and don't give it a second thought.

    It is very much widespread and a lot of it has to do with our drinking culture and the old Cat-lick idea of "having" to get married.

    I thought the same so I edited my post containing it :pac:

    Males always think that they are the only ones that cheat,women are faaaaar more devious when it comes to other relationships.
    all my friends have cheated on their partners save one!!He's totally whipped though,his wife is very wealthy.;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    My ex done it, hence the "ex" bit.

    I know loads. Some choose to hide from it and pretend it's not happening because the thoughts of being forced to face reality is worse.

    People cheat for loads of different reasons and it's rarely great sex.

    As a single woman, I get propositioned relatively frequently by married men, particularly since I have lived in 'vacation' cities (Madrid and Miami). Come to think of it, I think the first thread I started ever on boards was on that very subject - some men seem to think that vacation time = single pass.

    Personally I have a few male friends who have cheated on their spouses, but having known them for years, they have always cheated on their girlfriends as well, so I can't say that I'm surprised.

    I also have one female friend who has come very close to physically cheating, although she was clearly having an emotional affair. I only found out about it because she called me hysterical after her husband literally threw her across the room when she told him. :(

    I was at a wedding and in the residents bar, the groom scorerd a girl at the wedding :eek: ...and before people give out to me, I was not friends with either bride or groom, I was there as my boyfriends +1 and he had no balls :D

    Edit : Just to confirm he did actually physically have balls and other male components
