Affairs and Cheating

I really don't want to hear your story, unless you want to share.

My first wife cheated on me, a lot! I was a field engineer, and was away for weeks or months (overseas), and she used this to justify the cheating.

Anyway, I've put up a poll here, anonymous, to guage the experience of the members in this area.

Anyway, we've had quite a few anecdotes about this, just wondering the experiences of the masses....

Well...I put down that I never cheated....

In high school, I was dating this girl, and simply stopped doing stuff with her and started dating another girl. No breakup. I started dating her again later in the year. She eventually ended up going to a dance with another guy. It was all very fluid and I don't consider it cheating as there was never anything really official.

That's about the closest I've gotten to cheating or being cheated on...

my one and only experience with a sorority girl. a ZETA (if it matters). i snatched her from some dude...we were having a great time, and something changed..she started acting bored. she was boning my best friend. hahahah. i wasnt pissed at all, it was on the downswing anyways. i cant get him to admit it, but she told me it was so. i loved being young, dumb and full of...

wife, never. i couldnt stand to hurt her feelings so badly. it would break my heart. i have seen, and met girls that hurl the idea into my mind tho. but no.

I will say I technically cheated. I was dating someone after my divorce, and it was about 2 months passed where we should have broken up. My ex-wife needed some help writing a resume, so we met at a neutral friend's house. After re-living why we broke up (I had to catch myself from getting mad, as she instigated something), we decided to hit our old favorite bar and have a few drinks. Well, it was the basement of a very old Hotel (Red Lion, in Stockbridge), and yep, we ended upstairs later...

I broke up with the girl the next day. It was obvious we shouldn't be together.

The poll is a bit messy.

Cheated on multiple girlfriends. Never cheated on wife.

Got caught by one of them nearly in the act. I heard my roomates downstairs trying to tell her I wasn't home. I got up, went downstairs. It was obvious I had been doing the deed. I steered her outside and stood barefoot in boxers and a t-shirt in the Michigan winter for like 15 minutes while she biatched me out. Meanwhile, the girl upstairs got bored of waiting for me to come back. Went downstairs and sat with my roomates and had a smoke. I walk back in, and she was none the wiser! I guess she just thought I was hot and needed to cool off or something.

I tried to cover the bases. Again, I'm just curious, since there have been a lot of guys on here that have had cheating wives. The poll is now showing around 35% have had a wife cheat, with almost 50 votes. Interesting.

Haven't cheated on a woman since i was 16yo. Had plenty cheat on me in the 20+ years since though.

BTW, i disbelieve the 32 "i've never cheated" votes.

Well the poll is little messed up. I have never cheated on my wife, but I did cheat on some of my girlfriends, so I answered 'i've never cheated' and 'cheated on GF'.

When single, I never considered it "cheating" to have more than one girlfriend. But both of us took the marriage vows seriously...so, no cheating for decades here. Can't say I was never tempted tho.

Don't worry, Chippendales doesn't count so you're safe.

I have been married 20 years and have never even thought about cheating. Sloth has its advantages.
