1= Low level irritation

10= Definite break up

 

My clinical study to gauge thresholds of tolerance in men vs. women: please participate!

 

Please copy and paste when answering or "quote"

 

1) They have an ex who you have met and they talk to this ex a few times a month about life in general, but they don't hang out alone.

 

2) They dress in tight short skirts and are falling out of their top whenever they go out with you. Everyone stares and ogles.

 

3) They tell you they need to go on a business trip and they will be staying in the same room with some opposite sex co-workers: company policy to save money. Don't worry baby, it's only for a week, you trust me don't you?

 

4) One night after a party, they voluntarily tell you they were so drunk they had to crash at one of their friends houses, it happens to be a person of the opposite sex. They say it was on the couch.

 

5) They come back from a business trip and have met many different people.

One of these people is someone of the opposite sex who calls them and who your SO calls here and there, and your SO says it is just for networking that they talk and email them. Sometimes you are out and will see your SO getting a call from this new friend.

This new person lives in another state.

 

6) They tell you they ran into an ex and ended up going out to dinner with them alone, the ex asked, they were hungry-why not?

 

7) You go out to a party with them and someone of the opposite sex comes up to your SO and puts their arm around him/her, and seems very flirtatious to them, your SO does not move away from this person, but introduces you. The new person acts like you are barely there.

 

8) You go to a concert with your SO, they see some friends, mostly a circle of the opposite sex, and walk up to them leaving you behind and return to you a few minutes later saying "I just wanted to say hi to my friends" but never introduced you.

 

9) Your SO is ina band, and their ex is a photographer, at every show, he or she is there taking pictures of mainly your ex, as if the other band members don't exist. Your SO is also on friendly terms with this ex.

 

10) Your SO has a social phobia and doesn't want to go out with your friends, ever. They ae not mean, they don't tell you not to, they just won't join you. Either you hang out with your SO, or your friends, but never together.

 

11) And of course-the old your SO calls out the ex's name.

 

These are all true life things I have read on LS/other boards, how would each of you react on a scale of 1-10?

 

It's not cheating...but it ain't cool either.
