To the anonymous messager - you probably would be, actually, but probably can't achieve one yourself as you're too cowardly to even identify yourself much less be honest in a relationship.

No, I would not want to know. I used to think I would, but not anymore. We have children and this is what I've known for the last 20+ yrs. I don't want our lives turned upside down because he made a poor choice.

Isn't that the definition of blissful ignorance?

Anyone can claim anything on an Internet forum.

Weird. I've been on tons of business trips, with tons of propositions...... never did anything inappropriate.


That's always been easy to deal with.

If you keep a secret like that you are opening up the possibility of being blackmailed, which would make you ineligible for certain jobs in sensitive industries. If someone got wind of your cheating and had solid proof and threatened to publicize the information, what lengths would you go to cooperating and seeing the evidence be destroyed? Would you compromise trade secrets? Pay hefty sums? Work with terrorists?

A while ago we debated this in school and verbally it was about 25/75. Then we were asked to answer anonymously in relation to 1 of these 3 different mindsets...

1. A cheater
2. Someone who thinks they could/would cheat
3. The victim (has been cheated on or would never cheat)

Totally flipped the percentage around.

Well, if I was the wife I don't think I would like to know. If the guy is guilty and is pretty sure he is not gonna do it again, I think it's better to leave things as is.

Same deal.

I have the somewhat unfortunate situation of having an office of impressionable 20 something's right out of collage. I couldn't count the amount if times I've had blatantly obvious invitations.

Perhaps I just have a thick skin to it all after this many years

It's always fun when they realize the accountant in the office next to me is my wife, Or I hear "Why is the accountant in the pictures you have in your office?" From the slow to pick up ones
