This is something strange that I've noticed on this forum (especially among the female posters). If I describe a situation that you view as unlikely, I get accused of making it up.
yes it's just plain nutty to make accusations about circumstances when the person(poster) has no basis to assume either way. They'll never know. So assume the best, that the posts are truthful (as most people don't come on here to lie anyhow) And assuming the best is just respectful to others in the discussion

Another interesting thing that I forgot to include is that she told me that they had been dating for 6 years, "on and off" as she put it. Not sure what that means.
Have you honestly never heard of people having on and off relationships? It means that they broke up and got back together - probably more than once. This is also fairly common.

I do know people that have done that often (the on and off relationships), but they were never stable adults. Everyone that I know that is in a successful/happy marriage or a successful/happy LTR had very linear relationships.

Also, I, personally, have never been in an on-and-off relationship. So it is a bit strange to me, yes. It makes me think that one or both parties is not that interested in the other.

I've never been in an off/on relationship - but I know many people that have that are now happily married to that person.

I know some married men who are similarly open with their observations and statements about the opposite sex. When I express surprise when they say that (or act like that) because they're married, arguing, perhaps naively, that married people shouldn't do that, they always say, "I'm married, not dead!"

I guess they have a point...

The only thing here that is not normal, is your fascination with someone else's relationship and getting all bajiggity about it.

It's becoming rather obvious to me that you have the hots for this woman.

I do think that she's physically attractive, but, to be honest, her personality is very off-putting to me. So, no, I do not "have the hots for her". I just spend a lot of time with her and she makes these comments constantly.

Eh, she sounds like me. I am always openly admiring the opposite sex, flirt with EVERYBODY whether young, old hot or not. I even joke with my husband about finding me a "cabana boy." I am not having any affairs or looking for one, it is just my personality. I think the same is probably true about the person in question in the OP's post.

Just my .02 cents.

Fair enough, but I'm just curious and I'd like to see what others think about this.
I actually don't care but I'm still going to help you.

She's either cheating or wants to cheat.

I'm not supporting cheating, but if you want to sleep with her then go ahead. She's going to cheat regardless if it's your or someone else.

Long distance and she already feels like there's no challenge? She's going to cheat.

She wants to cheat/already is/she's going to.

There's no such thing as long distance relationships anyway. Poor guy.

No, I wouldn't say cheating. Behaving inappropriately for a married woman, yes. But actually getting with men, no. There's no way you can tell from something like that. In fact, some people deliberately become more flirty once they are married because they now feel like everyone else knows they're "safe" and wouldn't really act on any of their flirtations.
