Fifty-fifty chance.

3. Yes.
But only after I cheated on her. Let's face it, we're all human, and we've all made mistakes.

5. Not my present one
Edited on Fri Aug-08-08 02:57 PM by Blue_In_AK
but the last one did. It wasn't the infidelity that broke us up. I should add that I cheated on him, too, at the very end, with my present husband. Stuff happens -- infidelity isn't pretty, but it's not the end of the world.

7. Yes. I forgave him and we have been married 45 years.

8. He had a few crushes when we were teens, but I don't think he has ever cheated on me. He's a
very loyal and loving guy. He's also a conservative evangelical so he takes the Ten Commandments very seriously.

10. Never been married.
But exes? Oh yeah.

I think the more interesting question is whether people themselves have cheated.

I'll answer in the negative to that one.

11. We were seperated for almost one year....
so I don't consider what either of us did cheating. Maybe I am among the minority, but I could easily forgive a one night stand or even a casual fling, but if Mr. mcctatas ever had an emotional entanglement with another person (even if there was no sex), I would probably pull a lorena Bobbit;)

19. Welcome to the club.
Fun, huh? :eyes:


When a male cheats on his wife, it's HIS fault.
When a female cheats on her husband, it's HIS fault.

Strange. :puke:

14. yes, on numerous occasions.
Everyone deals with this in their own way- the only way that is 'right', is the way the people involved choose to deal.

Screw anyone who tells Elizabeth how to react.

My heart goes out to her, and to the kids. It also goes out to John, who fucked up on the national stage.

What a sad world this is.

16. Interesting to compare vs. the "have you ever cheated" poll
Nobody has ever cheated on their spouse, but the majority say their spouse has cheated on them.

I guess it means that cheating spouses aren't the ones that post on DU.

Just kidding. Survey bias.

17. Don't know and don't care
We're been together since I was in my final undergraduate year, have a great marriage and have always given each other space. Years ago one of my acquaintances had a serious crush on hubby and made a play while I was traveling. He chased her out of his office and told me about it with much laughter the night I returned. We avoided her after that. Many of my friends have had affairs - they are much easier to start than people believe. All it takes is opportunity and one vulnerable moment.

Hubby hates confusion and I don't think he could pull it off so I doubt it, but he's only human and flesh is weak.

18. BOTH of them did.
I call it "incompatible sleeping habits." (They slept with other men.)

Trivia: Did you know there's no female version of the term "cuckold'??

20. Yes, and it helped to break up the marriage, although there
were other problems as well (financial, for the most part).

21. Other here, Don't know, haven't worried about it but have enough trust to know...........
it wouldn't have ever been a problem if it ever happened.

People put too much emphasis on exclusivity and not enough on substance and effort:shrug:

23. It's not the cheating but the lie that stays.
The lying is the thing that continues to crop up in his character. There are too many strings to family to leave now, children, grandchildren. I am a coward so I stay. :-)
