Been there, didn't do that.  But I enjoy flirtatious banter.

I could be happy with plenty of different partners.  So could my wife.  But we're entirely happy together.

So you think he will stop calling you that once you get married?Big Grin Remedy: Just don't stop fucking.

He's only a hypothetical, but if I do get married you can rest assured that frequent fucking and occasional name calling will be in the contract Wink

If by cheat on your partner and get away with it, you mean having casual sex with trusted friends with the express permission of my spouse, absolutely, but then that wouldn't be cheating at all would it?

Cheating is wrong in the sense that being dishonest with someone you love is wrong. Open communication is a good thing and if you don't want to be monogamous you should just be with someone who's okay with that.


Yep, cheating is deceiving someone that you are not violating an expectation that matters to you both.  Being married wouldn't entail no spontaneous sex unless that was part of the expectation you've both granted the other.  My first (3-year+) marriage was open .. turned out I didn't like that in fact any where near as much as I liked it in theory.  My current (3-decade+) marriage is decidedly closed and we like it that way.

Oh, hell to the no! No matter how bad things get, there's no excuse for making my husband (when I was married) a cuckold. When the marriage didn't work, I let it go. If the marriage was working, no other man stood a chance no matter how hot he thought he was. "Hot" is totally in the mind.

Plus, if you have "hot" sex, with somebody they might take your spouse aside and say, "Hey, I got news for you." people do that.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Marriage means having someone who can help you resolve the problems you wouldn’t even have if you were single.

I’ve never seen a happy marriage up close. You sign a piece of paper saying “for better or worse.” But there’s nothing in a single life that can tell you what “for worse.” Could be. It’s a gamble. Like choosing what’s behind Door #1 or Door #2.

I think, more accurately, marriage means whatever the people in the marriage decide it should mean for them. Not everyone defines their marriage the same way.

True. If they both decide the same thing. It takes 2 to tango, but it only takes one to refuse to dance.

Do I sound jaded? I'm not. If some determined-minded, soft-touching, strong-thinking, loud-loving, pretty-smiling, big-eating, gentle-teach, honey-kissing, eyes-twinkling sugarlump came along and convinced me we could make it work...I'll think about it.

Now if you found out your partner cheated on you, would that be the unforgivable sin, the end of your relationship?

It would for me. Not because of the sex but because of the violation of trust. Violating trust...it's not unforgivable but it's definitely the end of a relationship
