Cheating is cheating. It's another form of lying. If you are a liar, you should not have a security clearance. Honesty/Integrity are not only a significant part of relationships, but a significant part of life in general. If you cheat on your spouse/partner, who you supposedly love and care for, how can anyone trust you with national security?
Will you marry me?

He treats me like a princess too- or I wouldn't be with him!

It seems that I just met you a day late-literally!

Nice to get unsigned red karma for the 1 post I posted here, I take it the spineless dweeb that sent it doubts that my vows made between my wife and I are important in our life. Care to discuss it? My PMer ain't broke but I won't hold my breath waiting for you to bring up anything you think you know or suspect. It's nice and safe under you rock isn't it.

pegster...

So, if cheating is cheating, and marriage is forever, are there ever circumstances when divorce is acceptable?

Absolutely.

(I thought I posted this yesterday but I guess not???) Anyway...

Cheating does not end marriages. It's what happens after that. Why was there cheating and what is to be done about it? I mean, fill in the blanks with a thousand different scenarios we've all heard about or experienced.

If two people decide to end their marriage, that does not disqualify either person from responsibility or authority...depending on how they handle it.

How the hell does the boss tell you you are late and that it's a big deal if he has decided that sleeping with the help is fine?

How does he ask or demand loyalty to the company or to a goal or project if he has found it convenient and easier to get some on the side?

How does he fire a subordinant for violating confidential information if he is laying in a hotel room violating every confidence his wife ever placed in him, crying to some one 20 years his junior that his wife doesn't 'understand' him?

On the other hand, a boss who is suffering from the strains of getting a divorce or trying to make it work can be a source of strength for some young kid going through the same thing. Does he say 'tough it out kid, you'll both be happy you did' or does he say 'hey, you know, Mary in finance sure knows how to get your mind of things, kiddo!.'


Cohens premise is that it is JUST sex. As in 'just' lunch. Or 'just' rode the elevator together or 'just' car pooled together. Under the guise of 'don't force your morals on me' Richard Cohen states, unequivocably, that violating your marriage vows has NO impact or bearing on anything else one does.

Getting divorced is one thing. Choosing to have an open marriage is another.

Being in a position of responsibility and authority and demanding that everyone else be loyal, follow the rules and work together to acheive a goal is severely challenged when you are interpreting your own idea of what loyalty, working together and following the rules means in your marriage.

We have marriage vows and not marriage suggestions.

Your question of "why was there cheating"? No, reason good enough! No one deserves to be cheated on.

If you're not getting it at home, you might as well go elsewhere...:shrug:

I know a few that were getting it both places and the ones at home were given just as good a review as the ones they stepped out with.
For them it was just something to do. Nothing personal. They probably would have gone with the top vote - just sex.

Sorry, Dems - I'm just not getting it. :ohwell: Or are you talking about what the meaning of "is" is? :possiblelightbulb:


Crap... nevermind... I was referring to Clinton's -- "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" because they didn't have physical intercourse... I never smoked pot -- because I didn't inhale -- that kind of stuff... but never mind...:banghead: :possiblelightbulbmakesfunnynoisethenburnsout:

I hope you're trying to be funny.:confused:

Or maybe I'm just weird in that I don't necessarily have to be getting some to be happy with myself.:shrug:
