I would also suggest that marriage and love in general takes work and is a conscious choice.

When we get married typically we make a bunch of promises on how we are to love the other person, and none of those come with any promises of how they treat us back or circumstances as to whether we uphold them.
Richer or poorer, sickness and health, etc

Not many marriages have two people living this out

going to vegas or miami or any random large city as a guys trip where you go to clubs and shite like that.....yes that is weird


This is where these stories go off the rails. Guys trips that involve excess drinking, clubbing, raves, shite like that are where it becomes risky and you have to ask the question "why?". Why do men in healthy marriages need these types of trips? They don't. They seek this because of the lack of sex, lack of relationship, lack of connection to their wife.

Golf guys trips where it's just a bunch of friends having fun? That's fine. You add in strip clubs, private women dancers, etc. you're emotionally cheating at best. If that's the shite you seek out on a guy's trip, maybe you should also seek out a marriage counselor because something is wrong.

100% truth.

I do like the golf trips where the guys exclude everything they are doing but the golf. Give me a break. My FIL has been going on "golf trips" with his buddies for a decade and I know what goes on.

Oh, and he and my MIL are divorced now. Go figure huh?

He originally posted this at like midnight on the "help board". That's a great troll thread if so.

I'm thinking it's real and a drunk night posting.

Wut? She definitely needed to fly off the handle.

And what is this “90% wrong” stuff? He is having an emotional affair with his ex fiancé…on what planet do you imagine that a person can carry on in a “plutonic relationship” with an ex fiancé??

I’ve always argued on the OT that divorce rates are likely overstated, then I read posts like this and realize that there are people out here jumping head-first into them.

Men and women can't be friends. She knows this. The ex-fiancee may make a move some day and you not recognizing that upsets her. You may be faithful and reject the advance from the ex, but not recognizing that and preventing it from happening in the first place is your mistake.

You've been playing with fire and got burned. Own it and let her react how she wants. You being indignant about it only made things worse.

Dude, you're 100% in the wrong and its pretty unbelievable that you can't see that....assuming this whole post isn't a troll.

Every time my ex reaches out my wife is so upset and tells me to go if I feel the need to keep looking in the rear view mirror

Would you not be pissed if you found out your wife was keeping in touch with her exes that were laying the pipe before yall met?

If either ex is in a committed relationship with someone else, there's no good reason to be keeping in touch with an ex-fiancee unless there's kids involved. Whether true or not, it will only create a cloud of suspicion that you're having an affair or that at least one of you still has feelings for the other.

2) Pretty much any woman would be upset if her husband stayed close to an ex-fiancé, dumbass


Yeah this isn't like this is him running into her at the grocery store or church and chatting for a few minutes.

my question is why the frick as a male are you trying to be just friends with a female?

like wtf do you talk about?

It's like the Shane Gillis quote from his comedy special where he says something like "I don't have female friends...I'm more of 'having a good time' kind of guy...Like what do women even do? Fold shite?"
