I don't understand this attitude. Sure their marriage isn't any of your business to fix if it's crappy. But that doesn't mean you should deliberately make it worse. Plus if one person is so willing to have an affair, who knows where else s/he has been. Ew. I wouldn't trust that for the world.

If you don't know the other person is married that's one thing. But if you know, and just don't care- makes you almost as worthless as the cheater in my opinion, because you're willfully assisting the other person in breaking trust in one of the most absolute, complete ways possible.

I couldn't do it.



I have no interest in doing it but I put it more in the realm of sleazy one-night stands with drunk college girls than the kind realm of reprehensible betrayal that the cheating spouse is in. A lot depends on the specifics but I don't see deep moral failure in someone having a lack of respect for someone else's obviously broken institution. Call it social Darwinism if you want but I don't see a moral obligation to protecting someone's failing relationship for them. They're not the kind of person I want to associate with but I can't pretend they damaged something worth protecting...

The real question is how did you get caught?

Were you mid boot-knockin? Did he at least let you finish?

I hope she gets thrown to the curb(doubt this could happen but wish it would) and she tries to crawl back to you and you two cheats live sadly ever after

I maybe should have specified that I was addressing a general "you", not you specifically.

And I don't know. I think that yes it still damages something potentially worth protecting (depending on the circumstance of course). It's like...if you have an open wound, if you take care of it properly then it can heal up. But rubbing salt, dirt, lemon juice, etc. into it just makes a bad thing worse, and potentially fatal.

And yet Hundreds of thousands of men and women live their lives in ignorant bliss. They have a happy marriage, and a happy spouse, who might just be getting what he/she needs that the spouse can't supply, from outside of the marriage.

Yes, and possibly passing STDs and who knows what other kind of goodies back to the blissfully ignorant spouse while they're at it!

That is such a load of bull. If the only way they can be happy with the situation is to be ignorant of it...there's something seriously wrong with that. If you have an "open marriage" or the other spouse knows what you're up to and is ok with it, be my guest. But when you have to hide it, and sneak around, because you know your spouse wouldn't condone cheating...yeah your relationship is seriously effed up and you're only lying to yourself if you say otherwise. Why else would you be hiding it from your spouse?

Salt and lemon juice probably have a fair chance of doing some good but I digress.

And you could just as easily compare it to an abscess and say the sooner someone comes poking along and makes things pop the better...
