The Joys of Cheating

I'm single now, after 11 years in a relationship, part of the time monogamous, the rest of the time open/poly, but a secret part of me wants to chase partners while making them think that I'm still in relationship. A certain part of me thinks that certain people would be drawn more to a man if he isn't single. The rest of me wants to seek out partners as the single guy that I am. Maybe I should do a bit of both....give the partners the thrill of a non-existent affair while not having any of the risks associated with it.
 
I was strongly against cheating but ever since I've joined lit..It is like a drug.
I have become a lot more daring and willing. It's wrong without a doubt but the thrill is like no other x

In total agreement with you. I get aroused just thinking about it. We are bad :devil: :D:
 
Never cheated. Definitely contemplated it, but I don't create opportunities. I won't pontificate here, but it's just a shitty thing to do.

You are right about that... it is a shitty thing to do, and yet I still do it. I would like to blame it on hubby not paying me enough attention but I know I would be fooling myself. I am a highly sexual person and don't believe I could ever be happy with just one partner. Perhaps if I had married a different person we could have an "open" relationship but I'm not sure even that would be enough. I love the taboo nature of cheating and the secret life which is all mine.

I can keep secrets, let's make a clip together like the one in your profile... Mmmm it'll be our little secret Annie ;)

I could have written this myself. I hate to admit it. I am so highly sexual, and my husband, well, he's openly not. It leads to an enormous amount of frustration and hard feelings, but yet in every other aspect of our lives, we are totally in sync.

That's me and my wife, she is perfect except she's not sexual!! It's frustrating! We should be friends ;)

I had an open relationship for years, but it wasn't enough. So now I really cheat and don't tell him. Delicious

Exactly. My husband is a kind man, a loving father, quite successful and takes care of me in so many other ways but it is like he was raised in a puritan home... so proper he even gets embarrassed about the topic of sex. I knew that about him when I married him and thought that after all my wild days it was time to settle down and put that behind me... but it wasn't so easy and eventually impossible. So yes, cheating on him is a shitty thing to do but...
 
hi

I have cheated on hubhy but only with women.. it is just as bad.
 
I've cheated on my wife with men, but not women. However, I have had several "work wives" - no sex, but a very close relationship.

I would be absolutely thrilled if she had sex with other men, so long as it was just about the sex. I wouldn't want one coming to the house and fixing the gutters, or something like that.
 
I guess it depends on how you define "cheating." When I was married, I had a shit ton of "emotional affairs," meaning, I'd get super close and fall in love with women, make out with them, etc., but I'd never fuck them. I know that that's certainly cheating, and I'm not rationalizing any of it. I always think, if the situation were reversed, how would I feel? Pretty much cheated on, and I'd be pissed and hurt. This isn't to judge any who do that in the least, it's just an observation. I've yet to meet to woman who would satisfy all my urges, sexually, romantically, friendship, so on. When I DO, there will be no need to go anywhere else. As Paul Newman famously said, "why should I go out and get a hamburger when I have steak waiting at home.".....
 
No it's not. Most guys would love that. But maybe your hubby might disagree.

Depends on the guy. Morally, it's the same, but some husbands would make an exception.

Personally, I'm sticking to my plan to have only open/poly relationships, anyway, so this should eliminate the issue of cheating for most of my partners, I would think. Certainly for me.
 
End result

The end result of cheating could very well be opening a Manila envelope your spouse just handed you which contains divorce papers. If you cheated with another married person and got caught or they got caught, you would be destroying not one marriage and family but two.

Once your spouse divorced you, you could party all you wanted and bed all the strange men/women you wanted. There would be no one to stop you, but there would be no one to comfort you when things were rough, when you were I'll or just wanted a hug or hear those three little words "I love you."

And what happens should you end up pregnant by the person you are cheating with? Are you going to be a total shit and try to pass it off as your spouses? What type of person does this make you?
 
oh!

I'm pretty sure we dated back when I was a good boy.

I've come to the conclusion that a vast majority of spouses who can cheat, do. I've been around long enough to be approached by lots of married women. We know many couples who have fucked around on each other. I've come to realize it's the norm. I'm unusually loyal.

I recently met a beautiful lady who's a psychologist. She really made me laugh when she complained that so many of her clients talk to her about their extramarital affairs while she can't get a date. Oh yeah...that got me thinking...;)

My husband neglects stuff like this. I'd totally screw a guy in exchange for mowing, patching our driveway, etc.
