Just watched the Tiger Woods thing, and I got to thinking: Have you ever been busted for adultery by your SO? If so, what did you say, in order to get a second chance? How did it work out? Where did you get the inspiration for what to say? I’ve never been married, so, I’m out of the loop, but I am curious. I don’t think that I’d have the gizzard to ask for a second chance. I can’t judge others, but, I would just think that I, myself, would slink off, knowing that I’d deserve whatever I got.  
So, what’d you say?

Best wishes,

“sorry seems to be the hardest word”

I’m a bit ashamed to say I’ve been through it a few times, and it’s never worked out in the long run.

Never been married, never cheated in the traditional sense of the word.

But there was a time when I was dating two women at the same time, and they didn’t know about each other. At one point one of them decided she wanted to extend our romance beyond the bedroom, so we decided to watch a movie together. Her choice? Fatal Attraction. Yikes!

There was one Saturday night when she stayed over and left on Sunday. The other woman was supposed to come over at 6:00. At approximately 5:59, the first woman called.

“Hi!”

“Uh, huh huh, hi. Uh…”

“So whatcha up to?”

“Uh, I was just on my way out, I can’t talk, uh, I’m already late for, uh…”

“Oh that’s OK. I’m just calling because I think I left an earring in your bed. Could you look for it?”

"YeahsureOKgottagonowbye"clickhum

Good times, good times.

Hahah…

I think the phrase “I guess there’s nothing left to say” got used a lot.

“I’m really sorry you found out and … it’ll happen again”. 😃

Well, I wasn’t sorry he found out, there was a bit of tit for tat going on, but the other guy was sorry and it didn’t happen again much

I held a press conference to put peer pressure on her to forgive me.
