Infidelity

I'mOneToo · 03-25-2010, 03:16 PM

there's no kind of betrayal that ever seems acceptable. and consequences vary so greatly that i'm just going to leave this topic alone myself, because i don't function well in piecemeal discussions. this is a whole smorgasbord of stuff in what started as one little topic, now it's a debate about polyamory and that's a great biggo meal by itself. i had some thoughts about the original topic, though it may be unworthy of discussion now, lol. nah, i'll just stuff that cuz i need a nap.

I think it all boils down to be honest and respectful in all our dealings!

Honest and Respect

Simple!

Have a great nap!

Let me ask this question because I am confused. What business is it of mine if someone is cheating?

None. At all. Unless they are cheating on you.

I think most in this thread are coming from that place...

I believe in a real man thing because its how I was raised. I don;t see it as gender neutral...for reasons and traditions....i think what he did is bad...just my .02
to each his own i guess.

i think people are objecting to defining 'manhood' by something many good, honest, upstanding female BUTCHES do on a daily bases--treat their ladies right? ya know?

i know it's 'slang' to say 'man up' and mean 'good character' but words are powerful... they define us whether we realize it or not.

To me infidelity is about dishonesty and lies, not about sex. In my book if you lie then that's infidelity- either in a relationship or potential relationship. Lies and omissions are incredibly hurtful and it shows a very poor character.

Being a faithful and honest person applies to all genders. It has nothing to do with being man enough, woman enough, or any other gender enough.
