I think you are right! no one should judge someone else for that kind of thing, its no one else's business. You are stronger for resisting testing out your hot new bod elsewhere.

I love hearing people's views on cheating in marriage! I totally agree with you in the sense that it's a personal choice and you can't point fingers and spit on people who choose to cheat. Your friend had a good point in making sure you could handle it emotionally. I have always wondered how I would feel about cheating once I got married - knowing myself pretty well I have a feeling that there would be times when it would look extremely attractive. The guilt, though? And knowing how I would feel if it was done to me? All dicey. That's why monogamy is such a ridiculous idea.

That entry was amazing, and you should be very proud of yourself for thinking very honestly and thoroughly about your decision to not cheat on your husband. Cheers! xoxo - me

If I could, I would share that blissful feeling with you...maybe I SHOULD find a way to bottle it. Talking about a major money maker!!! *hugs*

Wow! What can I say? This one really made me think. I have questioned myself so many times on this subject. I have put myself in situations where I find I have a hard time getting out of. I have been tempted so many times, and stopped to think, "Should I, or shouldn't I?" I have asked for advice so many times, and none of the bullshit that anyone has spit out to me never helped. No one has ever said it like you did in this entry. I, for one, am the most shitty advice giver. I always tend to just make things worse. Ask grrl-blog, she'll be one to tell you that I'm not at all open-minded. I tend to judge people a lot for not having the same views as I do, but at the same time, I don't even agree with myself. Anyway- that entry was awesome. It helped a lot.

Nicely put. I admire your ability to be totally honest with yourself~how many of us can face the brutal truth about ourselves? That being said, I'd be inclined to take your advice any day!

I've often wondered if I were to lose all the weight I've gained in the past five years or never gained it at all if things would have lasted as long between my man and I. Having a "new" man take interest is flattering and exhilarating. My opinion is: Once the crush and lust wear off, what you're essentially left with is love. It takes real love to make a relationship work. Not sex and looks and lust... it helps, but if all that goes away, what are you left with, if not love? P.S. I'm full of empty threats... I could never leave. I wanted to throw the computer, but I won't be leaving anytime soon :)

I was wife #3. my indescretion started less than a month before my ex moved out. I still regret it. My ex is an idiot. He's creul and mean and selfish but I still feel guilty and still regret what I did. I dont regret that we are not together, I would have died if I stayed with him, I'm saying that literally, but I wish I would have just left on my own, with no one else involved, I love T so much but I should have left on my own. I'm glad you made the decision not to cheat. Not because its "wrong" but because its a burden on yourself. Its heavy and hard to carry, even if its understandable. unless you have no concience, of course. Man, those are the lucky ones, haha.

I'll tell you what...I kind of messed up once and it was the biggest mistake I ever made. It almost broke me and my husband up and I'll NEVER do it again. I don't even know why I did it in the first place! But I look at it as a good thing, in a way, because now I know I'll never do it again. If I hadn't done it? The temptation would have always been there.
