What is it about sex, a physical activity and the idea of your mate engaging in it with someone else, that is so horrific? I mean, it's just physical.

If my husband had an emotional love affair with another woman, I would feel different, but just rutting, grunting sex? I mean, you used the word "destroy" three times in your post. Would it really destroy you if someone cheated on you?

Again, I know my opinion is not in the mainstream, just saying I don't understand it.
Some people feel the way you do, that just having sex with someone else isn't betrayal. Those people should be open to their partner and let them know that "just sex" isn't a big deal. That way they won't be with you if they have different ideas about relationships and sex.

Is it really worth 'the thrill' of a new set of genitals ? Its really all one big lie.
More lies. Where's the yawning emoticon when you need it?

I know I commented something like this some time back.

You are right.

for someone whome feels sex is just sex, theres this thing where they discuss and find a partner who feels the same way and they have whats called an "open relationship" where either partner is free to screw around with whoever they want (though there is often rules in place and veto rights)...
in this case its NOT cheating because both partners are aware and more importantly OK with this type of relationship

however when one partner lies and sneeks around behind anothers back, its not about the sex itself, its about the betrayal of trust...to some people sex is more than a romp betwen the sheets theres an emotional connection.

not only that but theres also this whole RESPECT aspect...if you cheat on your partner/spouse, you obviously dont respect their feelings or wishes...
when you commit to a relationship you commit to the rules and boundries that should be put into place before hand...
if you want to have sex with other people, that needs to be part of that agreement, and if your partner isnt willing to agree to it you need to decide whats more important...sex with other people or whatever you have with your current "other half" and go from there...

telling her you will be exclusive and then sleeping with other people...thats just low, doesnt matter if its "just sex" or emotional, it just proves that while you know it would hurt your partner, you realy dont care enough to restrain yourself...

I believe it was CDC's website where i read it was over 1 in 4 ... nevertheless, 1 in 6 is still pretty alarming . Add to that 32 other STD's among over 40,000,000 adult americans of which 2 are fatal that make up the NATIONAL U.S. EPIDEMIC today, and youve got a pretty lethal cocktail of consequence. I wonder what the stats are trying to tell us (?)

I have never thought of messing around during a relationship, Her on the other hand thats a different story. She thought it was fair game to do whatever when I was at work supporting her and her son.
