    Just of curiousity. Have you any idea how much those wedding days cost?

    What has that got to do with anything ?

    In response to another post that I can't seem to quote that asked how many the answer is I don't know, taking friends, acquaintances, outer circle of blokes I know the answer is north of 75%.

    Well gosh lots, Joe.

    Far as I can estimate most folk are spending min of €10k on these wedding days. So, if over 75% of them end up cheating,......oh never mind

    I think you're showing yourself up a little with that comment.

    Do i need to explain fully the stuff i have said here. I assumed (ironic i know) that you people were proficient in English?
    heh, well we all know that assuming makes an ass of you and me, and err ing, or Mi-ling, or someone. As George Bush once said, never assume, cos' thats just not American. Ah feck it- go and shyte, anyone that spends their time stroking their brain is three feet off the mark anyway.

    Ellie i fear my obnoxious attitude on this thread may prevent this but i'll have a go anyway: can you pm me your friend J's phone number please? I have much holistic and spiritual assistance to give in her dilemma

    She had her husband moved out of the country nearly three years ago. I figured it was safe to post that because 1). no one knows about my boards account, 2). They don't have the internet so they can't accidently come across this. I keep in touch with her via phone calls & facebook (she logs on with her mobile). And he's not the internet type anyway. 3). Never posted her name, his or the kids.

    I'm wonderfully single and very anti-marriage so.....nope :pac:

    Also, I'd be with the others on the thread that said I would never want to do something like that because even if I fancied someone else or the relationship went sour, I could never live with myself if I did something like that! No sense of high-horse preaching from me, my conscience would just crucify me!

    The thought of cheating genuinely makes me feel sick. I don't know how people can do it. It's so completely illogical. No one is forcing you to be in a monogamous relationship, so why bother if that's not what you want?

    I hate how people say "oh, you never know if you'll cheat or not unless you're put in that situation". Bull****. I've always known long before I ever had a boyfriend that I would never cheat, and when we were in a long distance period of our relationship I had plenty of opportunities to. I never took any of them, and this is coming from someone with a very high sex drive. I think it would be so degrading to yourself to cheat. A relationship with a significant other is one of the most important parts of most people's lives. Why would you put so much time and effort into something only to disgrace it so much? I think it shows a lack of respect for yourself, not to mention your partner.

    Apologies for the rant and for being off topic. On topic, all of my friends have cheated at some point, but I am not friends with any married couples.

    Joking aside, this is the one thing you are most unlikely to know if you are involved with someone who is married. V. reluctant to let you know where they live.

    You shouldn't be married in the first place if you think of cheating when you aren't drunk or are feeling guilty for thinking about it.

    If you sniff it out for reals, tell him you wanna add your number to his phone and send his wife an auld text. Be sure he's commited to doing the deed first though. The wife might get a nasty surprise, but you're doing her a favour imo.

    If you're thick enough to think someone would want to marry me, you might just be thick enough to think it's a good idea to marry me. Let's get married.

    Heehee!

    Seriously though, Abi, I am not sure I have any sympathy for these wives of men who are on the pull.
    I reckon most of them know damn well what their men are like, and have a kind of edwardian attitude to it all-'out of sight out of mind'.

    I actually know one woman who has this kind of relationship with her husband. They have three children.
    All she talks about is the kids, the schools and the house.
    We, the old female school friends know damn well what's going on and there is no way in hell she would let one of us intrude upon her perfect life of mummy and wife in suburbian utopia.

    ...so go on and feel oppressed by rules and guidelines imposed upon us by organised religion/society...

    This doesn't really make any sense. There is a huge difference between cheating and having casual sex. If you really feel like this why not have an open marriage or an arrangement like that? Why do have to bring deceit into it?

    Not to justify it, but they all would have cheated at around 17-19 years of age. I would be a hypocrite if I said I hadn't done stupid stuff at that age too.

    it depends what country you live in.. in France, its acceptable.. so long as its not with a friend of your wife, as this is considered bad manners.

    In France, it's also acceptable to tart up a 10 year old and take pictures of her for a glossy fashion magazine.

    Unfortunately for your example, that's really, really not true.

    If your partner cheats on you and you take them back then you are a sap. You just look like an idiot. They will almost always do the same thing again and you will forever be bitter about it anyway. All these footballers like Terry, Cole, Crouch, Rooney et al. cheat on their wives and the wives stay with them and you can't help but laugh. Those women are just money hungry scabs, nothing more nothing less.

    If I ever was worried about a partner cheating on me I'd just leave them because they obviously can't be trusted if I'm worried about it. If a partner did cheat on me then I'd just tell them good luck and I'd love every minute of it. I wouldn't give them the time of day and I wouldn't even look angry about it. It's a scumbag thing to do. It would be good night relationship and they would look like and feel like a scumbag.

    Obviously things are more complicated than this in many cases but for younger people they're really not. Cheating is a great thing really because it shows what kind of person they are. From a lot of stories I hear they often try to say it meant nothing and/or it was the drink. Ya can't help but laugh. I haven't been cheated on nor have I cheated on anyone and the people who do cheat aren't worth thinking about because it really is the lowest of the low. Probably one of the worst things you can do to a person/as a person.
