So, please check all that are true for you. This is an anonymous poll, so feel free to be honest.
Not sure I understand how to fill out the poll. I have never cheated on my current S.O., and never would. I have cheated on several past S.O.'s So, am I a “yes” or a “no?”
I haven’t cheated on my partners.
First question would be a yes.
Second question would be a no.
Sounds like a serial cheater as well.
Yes, but reformed.
Never cheated, would never consider it, have declined invitations.
I will die before I cheat on my wife.
“Have thought about it” as in “fantasized” or as in “given it serious consideration”?
Never cheated on a previous boyfriend or my husband, ever, and would never. Have broken up with guys because I’d rather be with someone else.
I don’t think that’s even in the zipcode of cheating.
Fantasized.
Giving it serious consideration would be in the realm of planning on it.
Not sure how to answer the poll. There were a couple of times when I was the cheatee. And there was a period where I claimed to be exclusive, with several women.
Those days are over.
These days I’m dating a lot of women, but keeping the sex at bay for now.
There’s an excluded middle - “I have not cheated because I love my SO” and “I have not cheated and I don’t love my SO”.
I have not cheated on my SO, and I do love her, but that’s not the reason I haven’t cheated.
I answered “haven’t cheated b/c I love my SO”. However, I have thought about it. Not thought about actually doing it, or planned to, or wanted to, but thought about it as in “would I ever? could I ever? how would my life be different if I did? am I the type of person who could do that, and could I do it to her? and if I did, how would I ever do it? business trip? coworker?”
That type of thing.
And I cheat on my hand with my wife all the time.
This.
Ewww…necro-Skald.
Please define “cheating”. Is it cheating if she is the one holding the video camera?
I have to go to a meeting. Can I get you to beat yourself silly and then hurl yourself into the firepit?
I admit it, I am a registered member of the Straight Dope.
Only if she’s watching the replay on the camera.
