Huh? It's not like she said, "oh and I did this and that with your grandpa, and further, I did this and that also!" In discussing why she had two kids, she said that after the last, grandpa and grandma each "had his/her own bedroom." End of story. People did that all the time back then, to avoid having more kids. It was not exactly a sex ed talk.

Women are just as bad with the cheating. I've been a victim of it but I never cheated on anyone.

My mom told me before she died that my worthless father cheated on her. The news was no surprise to me.
I do think there is less tolerance for it today.

That thing so many guys hate.... no fault divorce, along with equal employment opportunities gave women the ability to "care" about a cheating husband.
To be balanced, it also allowed them to admit to infidelity rates nearly as high as men's.

She said she didn't even considered divorce and they seem to have grown closer over the years. She had a stroke a few months ago, doesn't speak and is either in a bed or the wheelchair. He's always very attentive with her.

Did women in the past were more forgiving and didn't care as much?

This story sounds very close to a thread that was started a month or so ago.
I'll have to find it.

Pretty broad brush, isn't it?

Last time I checked, I was a man, and last time I checked, I do not and never have cheated.

My grandparents had separate rooms, so did mom and dad after I left home but it was because of the snoring. At that point they were too old to have kids anyway.

That could probably be attributed to the pill.

cheating smyeating!

bleh...

there are actually women out there that think that a man "cheating" is means for divorce, lol

after all they went through to get married, whether is was trickery or by force via ultimatums and bully tactics they have the nerve...smh

there are even women married to pro athletes that expect them to be faithful, lmao are they forreal?

i remember i was messing with this hispanic chick when i was like 20, she was just a jump off she knew from the beginning that i had a woman and she used to have the nerve to tell me not to 'cheat' on her...omg females are hilarious

If that's so men aren't very smart or strong.
