Never.

Not even for a second.

On the flip side if I was a woman and I my significant other is attractive or rich he has women throwing themselves at him.


"only as faithful as your options"
An unattractive person, or one who perceives themselves as such, could just as easily be driven to cheat because someone else is attracted to them. Anyone can get hit on. I haven't seen any variation in frequency of cheating based on attractiveness.

I'm talking OPPORTUNITIES, people who are more desirable have more then people who aren't.

This is silly. Trust is the cornerstone of a good relationship. Maybe you've been spending too much time online and have gotten spooked by the complaints. While there are no guarantees in life, you can hedge your bets by building trust, good communication, and incorporating regular gestures of affection an caring. If you live your life in fear, you'll never get anywhere.

You seem to be operating under the false assumption that just because someone is "more desirable" to others that they would always be open to any and all extracurricular opportunities.

That's just not true.

While the opportunities might be there, many would just not be interested in taking advantage of them because they've grown beyond being ruled by their ego's.

I know my SO would never cheat on me.

I would never cheat on her, matter of fact, I've never cheated on any woman I was with. I watched my dad cheat on his wife, for several yrs. I remember being fairly young, maybe 13 or so and he actually used to take me out with him and his GF. Very un-classy on his part.

I picture the devastation my SO would feel and it makes my eyes water thinking about it. I can never hurt her like that.

It's not worth the pain that you cause to yourself, and others in your life.

If I really am into the person I can be VERY VERY possessive. That's why I want the guy to be the one who is more into me than I with him. Fortunately, the guy I'm seeing fit the criteria. I am falling for him because he really is a nice guy but I doubt I will ever be possessive even if I marry him and I have no fear he will cheat on me.

No, I just know of a lot of people who have cheated or been cheated on. Too many to the point where I feel that I'd be better off single.

No offense, but are you aware of the level of dysfunction in your thinking process???
