It doesn't strike me as a hard ethical principal. Pretty straight forward really. Cheaters are douche bags.

You sound like yet another bitter person on CD.

I know what you meant, excusing cheating is literally the only thing you talk about on this board.

Not true. I'm not going to further debate this though.

Not wanting to hurt someone, and not wanting to hurt how you feel about yourself is hardly clinical.

Definitely "G". My husband and I have dated twice before and it just wasn't the right time either time. Now we have been married for 7 years and still have a very regular sex life. He really does keep me satisfied and I like to believe that I keep him happy as well. I don't even think about it ever.

I have no reason to be bitter. I am happily married. I have never cheated in my life because my character is worth more than that to me.

I NEVER cheated in my marriage, nor would I ever cheat in an agreed upon exclusive relationship. If I wanted to cheat, then the relationship means nothing to me. A relationship is nothing without trust and respect. Even planting a seed of distrust could destroy a relationship. And yes, in the field I am in I have had many men show signs of interest -- when that happens I'm careful not to be alone with them, not to engage in personal conversations, etc. And cheating is an absolute deal breaker for me. I think cheaters are lacking in integrity and I wouldn't be interested in a past cheater for a LTR.
