One Good Turn Deserves Another?

Sorry if that is someone you know or are doing. I'll gladly insert my foot in my mouth if it is.

lol ... as I told Rhythm, she's of no consequence to me. I really am referencing my friend in regards to this thread. I know her merely by name and nothing more.

A Russian man is walking through a bazaar, when a stranger comes
up to him and offers to sell him some illegal Viagra for 100
rubles.

"No, not worth it!" he says

"OK, how about 50 rubles?"

"No, not worth it!"

"OK, 20?"

"No, not worth it!"

"How about 10?"

"No, not worth it!"

"Oh, the pills are worth it, is my wife is not worth it."

As a side note. It's very difficult to engage in a sober discussion about peoples relationships and "duties" or rules within them. The whole conversation ends up being couched in conflicting language. There are the faithful, faith in what? Cheaters, who've broken the rules to a game we can't call a game. The whole thing is ripe for comedy and it's a good thing that it is, since that gives us the opportunity to lighten the mood about a subject that would otherwise be very serious (nigh unbearable).

It difficult to engage in serious conversation about this stuff without it being 3 o'clock in the morning on a google hang out with at least one stoned participant, period.

Even then, you never know.

Let me have your thoughts.

I am polyfidelious... I don't see anything wrong with having multiple mates. That said, I am first the friend of anyone I dare to call a lover: Keeping secrets from friends is wrong.

People make mistakes... That a man has jumped off a ledge before you neither excuses your jumping off a ledge nor makes doing so reasonable.

I'd do them both. I'm a terrible person though. At least I wouldn't try to hide it. (Hell, I might even make an appeal for a good old fashioned 3-some) Imagine me clicking my facebook status to "Doing you both".

This sentiment, 100%

I absolutely change my tune. He should rail her first and deal with the fallout later. Bonus points if he knocks her up. Look at that smile, what kind of question is this?

A dumb one. Rescind everything you said to him, Cinjin: this should be encouraged

I'm going into seclusion. Clearly it's not worth having sex with anyone anymore.

There's always me

But yeah, don't bother with anyone else: they'll only end up being dickheads or worse

As soon as I saw the picture of the bartender I skipped everything else and came here to say unless your friend's wife is Angelina Jolie, he needs to get with accept that offer.

Yes it's deceitful, but is it "wrong"?

In my opinion yes,it's wrong. I'm surprised you needed to ask.

The logic of tit-for-tat is tu quoque; we may not use the sins of other to justify our own.

Childish "Tit-for-Tat" = Hammurabi's Code ??

I actually agree with you Padraic, but I know for a fact that many people do not.

Some say, if one has betrayed the relationship, it's fair and equal to step out. Many however, do not. From what I've seen it's about 50/50 on this topic.
