Just curious how many have cheated on their husbands or wives. And if you have why did you and how did it turn out?
Welcome to the SDMB Tenny.
This may be better suited to the IMHO forum.
14 years with my wife. I’ve never cheated once.
But even if I had, I wouldn’t admit it on a message board.
Nope.
Yeah, my SO occasionally reads what’s here too. Not to mention some of my friends and family.
'Course not. It’s much easier to have multiple relationships ethically than it is to break agreements.

Surveys go in IMHO. Off you go.

No.
…although there was that 3-way, but it was her idea…
No way. I am totally devoted to my wife. Even if we were having problems, I respect her way too much. Not to mention, I am notorious for my inability to lie.
I’m not married, but if I were, I’d like to think that I had enough moral fiber not to cheat on my husband. I respect the institution of marriage too much to treat it so lightly.

[sup]And that’s the bittersweet truth of the matter![/sup][/ul]
I’ve never cheated on my wife and before I was married, I never cheated on any girlfriends. Even when I was involved with more then one person, they were all aware that I was seeing other people - BEFORE anything physical started.

Not only have I never cheated on my husband (we’ve been together for 20 years, married for 14), I’ve never been unfaithful to anyone I’ve made a commitment to!
There have been several threads on this subject.
Yes, admitted it, paid the price. End of story.
Hijack: Am I the only one who thought this was a thread on plagiarism and cheating on standardized tests?
I am? oh.
slinks away with guilty conscience
Yep. Still do too. Although, we don’t consider it cheating, since she knows about mine I know about hers
It’s just sex.
Yep. I’ve also been cheated on. And shitty as it was, being cheated on seemed a less awful experience in the long run than being the cheater.
No (after 9 years of marriage), and not because I’m such a morally strong person. I finally realized that half the trick to preventing myself from doing something I’ll regret is not to put myself in the position in the first place.
For instance, say you’re a guy attacted to a co-worker:
-
No getting drunk with him/her.
-
No deep, dark, intimate conversations with him/her (“My wife doesn’t understand me” = “I’m available.”)
-
No getting drunk with him/her.
-
No flirtatious e-mails.
-
No accidental touching.
-
Did I mention getting drunk with him/her?
Actually, I’m sure most of you learned this real early on. However, I was in my 30’s before this bit of obvious wisdom hit me.
I’ve been the Monica but never the Bill or Hillary, does that count?
No. I’ve been cheated on and I’ve never give someone else that pain.
