porter218 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I work in a small office for a large company, we have about 10 people in the office. Out of those 10, 6 are married. Out of those 6 married people I work with only one is faithful to their spouse (me). I am horrified to find this out. I never really thought I was in the minority before. Silly me, I thought majority of married couples kept their vows. WTF?? These are both men and women I work with, and listening to their escapades just turns my stomach. If you can't be faithful then why the hell are you walking down the isle????Why? Is this how it is everywhere? How depressing! Had to vent, I am just shocked with these unfaithful idiots.
jerbear Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Sounds like Big 4, law firm, financial services...
thegoodlife Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Yeah it's absolutely terrible, of all my friends and coworkers there are about 3 of us that are faithful (I being 1 one of them). It makes me feel sick at the lack of decency people have anymore.
Trialbyfire Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Infidelity is rampant in my industry as well. Since it's not my life, I disregard it, although reliant on how bad it is, I find myself losing respect for people. Keep your distance porter and maintain your own moral code, honour system and integrity. In maintaining this, you're true to yourself and to your foundations. I've seen too many people unable to think beyond today's feel-good.

Having dealt with my H's infidelity in the past, it makes it that much harder to watch them glowing from their affairs. It makes me wonder did my H act this infatuated with his other women?? It just brings back bad memories.

It just brings back bad memories. Affairs are funny things, in that it's a deep, dark secret between individuals. Forbidden, thus titillating. New infatuation feeling, thus "fun". Something tells me that your H wasn't so glowing after you found out. Short-term crotch thinking v. long-term unselfish behaviour.
OpenBook Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 listening to their escapades just turns my stomach They TALK about it?? I always assumed that cheaters did everything possible to keep it on the down-low. As if it wasn't glaringly obvious in the first place.

As if it wasn't glaringly obvious in the first place. Not only do they talk about it, they use eachother for alibies. One jackass got mad at me because when his wife called I told her that her H wasn't there yet he was not due in until late afternoon. This dummy told his wife he was at work when he wasn't. It isn't my responsibility to cover his infidelities.

Good for you, don't cheat it does no good. Don't let anyone convince to cheat either.
Lizzie60 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Wow.. they must be awfully 'close' to each other.. to cover their azz like that.. and NO.. it's not your responsibility to cover/lie for them.. they should get another alibi.. and as I say, and always will say.. MOST married people cheat... and it will only get worst.. it is not natural IMO to be faithful to the same person for a lifetime..
Author porter218 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 and as I say, and always will say.. MOST married people cheat... and it will only get worst.. it is not natural IMO to be faithful to the same person for a lifetime.. It feels natural to me. I guess that is just me.
Lizzie60 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 It feels natural to me. I guess that is just me. Yes I do believe you.. it is waaayyy more natural for women.. we are wired differently. It also depends on how many years you've been together... in a lot of cases.
Posco_Proudfoot Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I have to say that there are probably 1000 people in my building and I don't know a single person that cheats. All of them have been married for years, all different ages, and none of them "cover" for each other for anything if the SO calls. What profession are you in? It is definitely missing the moral compass.

Apparently porter does and they DO brag and cover for each other. All the years I've worked there not one mention of cheating from co-workers. All I'm sayin....

All the years I've worked there not one mention of cheating from co-workers. All I'm sayin.... For some reason people have always told me more then they would tell most people. I also think that because our office is so small that is why they are so close. These are regular middle to upper class people who appear to be in happy to most. I don't think I really would call it bragging, it is more like they are using me for a sounding board looking for a way to simplify their complicated predicaments. They just never take my advice. I guess they were just hoping to get my seal of approval instead of telling them they are dead wrong
