But a woman can do it because she is “tired of living for others” and wants to “be my own person”?


Hundreds of millions of dollars have been made pushing that shite. There are shelves at bookstores dedicated to the notion that women have a right to abandon husband and children in order to "find themselves". You'll find no such books for men, because we rightfully call THEM what they are. But some women glorify it when women do it. Not all. Some will call out a whore when they see a whore, but there's a pretty significant chunk of women that live by this shitty mantra. And I think we know how most of them vote.

Dad left my mom for another woman with whom he was cheating in about 1980. They are still married now. Mom never remarried, and although grandkid birthdays were awkward for years, they all ultimately became friends for about the last 10 years of my moms life. Definitely the exception and not the norm I imagine, lol.

What about the cat from north La who left his wife for the daughter-in-law. Paw-Dad or whatever they call him?

I know someone who was dating a girl and him and another girl, who was also datings someone, got together. At the time people thought it was just going to be a thing because.. Both cheated to be with each other. They ended up getting married, they have been together for about 20 years, a few kids... It just seemed like it was a situation where they just good for each other.. You can have situations like that... But then there is the saying "the grass isn't always greener".

My theory is.. Its life. You never know why people do what they do.

Wasn’t that all over OT and the thread got anchored or something? Like it was a preacher or something?

I don't support it regardless, of course.

But from social observation, the type of affair where two married people work together or have some close social relationship that develops over time seem more sustainable. In other words, fairly reasonable people who are together by some cause other than trying to cheat on their spouses (work, etc.).

Guys with wandering eyes who are looking for opportunities, especially with younger women, seem to be asking for issues. Although as mentioned, money tends to keep those together longer (though still unlikely to be permanent).

One thing is for certain: if you have a side piece, your marriage is not good.

If the marriage isn’t good, then either work on it or end it.

It may not work out with the second woman but it’s definitely not working out with the first woman (unless you try to change it).

And remember, some wives cheat and lie too, it’s not always the man who cheats.

I’d argue it’s a greater percentage than the men these days. Not so much back then when the women were more confined to the home and the men traveled and were out and about. Hell my grandpa had a whole other family.

Social media has made it exponentially worse and so much easier for women now though, and they don’t have any of the previous restraints.

My sample cases are more happy than they originally were. I have no animosity toward any man that wants to leave his wife for whatever reason. It’s his life let him live it.

Do these work out? I would think the failure rate is pretty high. Any of you guys end up happily married to your paramour?


So you want to abandon you family and start a new one?

Can't say God would be pleased and your family relationships will never be the same.

I suggest keep stringing the Harlet along until you get caught then gaslight your wife and make it seem as if it's her fault.

She'll have a primal urge to compete for you and in return the Harlet will up her game as well.

You can string this thing out at least 2 more years. That's more than enough don't be greedy.

Yes, it does work out occasionally. Personally know men who have married their mistresses and lived happily ever after.

My Dad cheated on my Mom with a woman who would eventually become my step mom. He was an upgrade financially from her first husband. That lasted 35 years, living to the edge of their means and not saving much. My Dad mostly supported her two kids. She spent their inheritance from my grandparents. When my Dad got sick and couldn’t earn a living, and the inheritance ran out, she basically took most of what was left and left him to whither away. I took care of him best I could until he passed at the beginning of COVID. I guess it worked out for her.

My Mom, on the other hand, married a great man who I was proud to have as a step father. His first marriage ended for reasons unknown to me, but I don’t think it was infidelity. He passed away a few years ago. My Mom is a class act and the ex step Mom knew that although she may have been younger and able to get my Dad to cheat, she could never measure up to my Mom.

Marriage is meant for life. Don’t let a momentary temptation dictate your character, your integrity, your faithfulness.

He's willing to cheat on his wife. She's willing to frick around with a married man. Those traits don't just disappear.

No. Anybody who will cheat with you will cheat on you.
