I'm no stranger to heartbreak, but, I'll tell you... if I could trade everything I've experienced for the sanctity of abstinence...

I would absolutely not consider it, under any circumstances.

I agree. It's better to love then to never love at all. At least take some chances in life. Life can't be all that safe all the time.

Nah. Just don't be surprised by the consequences of cheating or don't be surprised if SO cheats. In other words know the person you married. Most of the time, there are clues it is happening or that it is desired.

If the relationship goes long enough, it might actually be a relief to both parties that one strayed to make it easy to walk away from the relationship. This recently happened to a acquaintance of mine. She is relieved that they both want out. Why they waited so long and for such extreme behavior makes me wonder about the phrase "it is never too late."

Hhmmm....I think if I were married and the guy cheated, I would be very angry and hurt. I don't believe I would kill him, but that would be the end.

Oh, you wouldn't kill him BUT you'd love to and have that anger for a bit before you broke it off with him. I'm usually a very laidback person and don't get upset too often but when he cheated on me, I had angry that I never knew I could have. Haven't had it since but I'll tell you, I was very surprised that I could be so angry and hateful. It took about a month for me to get over visualizing both of them dead and how I was going to do it.

I've been cheated on, but I did not have an urge to kill over it. I wasn't married to the guy, so maybe that's different. I can't imagine wanting to physically harm someone over sex. OTOH, I could imagine it for self-defense situations or if someone hurt a loved one of mine.

I was cheated on once. I didn't want to hurt the girl, but I showed animosity towards her. The guy, on the other hand, was a prick, and showed it. He would have gotten off scott free if he didn't try to rub it in my face. Unfortunately for that guy, he was on the receiving end of my spear tackle. He stopped real quick after that.

Yea, I can see that. I'd probably want to pop him in the face or something.

Of course the situation would factor here, like the circumstances, who they were cheating with, but I think anyone that jealous or whatever else would probably show a pattern of getting extremely angry at this happening.

A lot of the old blues songs etc featured songs about killing a cheating wife or husband and I find it disturbing that such thinking is so mainstream, it reminds me of honour killings and stonings.

I don't condone cheating, of course, but I seriously don't see how people get so pissed about it. Yes, I've never been in a relationship, but life goes on, you do not own anybody, and a 'crime of passion' is no different to any other cold-hearted murder (despite what the French might say, lol, jk). I find such people have more respect for their ego than the other person anyway.
I feel like I'm ready to kill for far less daily, doesn't mean i act on it...
Like fat people who jam up the aisles in the supermarket when I'm in a hurry, wtf are they doing getting food? Enough already. Feel like flipping them over on their backs, the weight should do the rest :P

I don't think I'd be as much angry as I would be sad if a girl was cheating on me, and I'm never violent so...
