Thanks.

It's a funny post! A lot of words that say nothing, except your anger. I guess you don't understand the concept of philosophy. But that's okay, keep up the humor. I can almost see you with blazing eyeballs and white knuckles as you angrily pound away at the keyboard.

Low self-esteem hurts, because low self-esteem is vulnerable.
When cheated on the insecure person is emotionally too weak for any self-examination and usually desires revenge. Jealousy is also a factor.
But, as some posters have pointed out, some people want to own a person or be owned. They feel secure that way.

Grain of truth in that. I mentioned the male friend I have whose wife parked him in the guesthouse so she can co-sleep with their three school-aged kids. She's fine with not having sex at all.

He talked to his kids about how they'd feel if he and his wife separated, and there was a huge meltdown. Kids freaked out in a big, terrible way. He doesn't want to leave his kids, either. That would tear him apart.

Do I blame him for staying? For not leaving? I don't know what the "right" thing to do is in this case. He's one of those "I've tried everything under the sun!" types. If someone has a logical, reasonable, fair solution for a someone in this position — a solution that doesn't hurt the wife or the kids — I salute you.

Maybe you're being cheated on is because you're a boring person, humorless, inactive, dull witted, controlling, demanding, or religious zealot.
Don't cast all blame on your partner. Try some self-examination. You just might discover a reason.
That is nothing short of unbelievably stupid. If someone is ... whatever LEAVE THEM. Cheating is for people of little or no character. Period.

That is a very narrow minded, one dimensional view that simply isn't true at all. People are far more complex, relationships are much more complicated. Nothing is black and white.

Cheating is NEVER ok.
But let's be real about how hard it can be to end a relationship just to have sex with someone else.
People make sex out to be so freakin' meaningful and like it represents everything about your life. Oh, dump everything else in your life because of your unhappy sex...gimme a break.
Stan I can't rep you anymore.
There's a lot of truth in this post.
