Conscience Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I am not sure if it just me but what is wrong in 2011! There are so many guys I know that the marriage or LR as ended this year due to an unfaithful GF or Wife! Is it just me ? Women loose interest and then cheat! I remember it use to be men that did that not women? Or is it just the wrong impression that society as in regards to women ?
What_Next Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Personally I'd vote for 2010.... I guess it depends on where you hang your hat. If you read here or in the infedility section of course you'll read lots of stories about cheating women. You'll also read lots of stories about cheating men. The bottom line is that it almost seems cheating has become the social norm and that is sad.
robf1971 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I think it was the men cheating that got the exposure, women were always at it but now it's more out in the open.
Surfer203 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I told my wife about all of the men on here with stories of their wives cheating on them. She was thinking maybe men just come online to talk about it more because they don't want to talk about it in real life - point of pride or shame or something? To me it seems like more women cheat when married... men cheat more during dating. That is just the impression I get.
reboot Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Anyone that thinks cheating women are somehow new in this decade must be very. very young.
PegNosePete Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 its the new decade of infidelity babayyyyyy That's a cool pick up line, mind if I borrow it?
Author Conscience Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 Anyone that thinks cheating women are somehow new in this decade must be very. very young. Only reason that I say that is because in my entourage I know 11 couples that where either in a LR or Marriage that got dissolved because the lady decided she was bored! I'm 35 young
Surfer203 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 That's crazy.. I can only think of 2 couples that it has happened to.
coolheadal Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Yes and mine is one of them too! I am so sad and mad at her for destroying the way we live here. What a huge mess. Just their needs they care about not as a couple needs. After this mess I don't think I'll ever marry again. I can't trust the out come. Unless I get a church or island girl but there is no lock that can't be open type. These women should be for you only, not be lead by the outside lover that can come right in and destroy what you have created!
Badenov Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Remember the woman's mindset: If he cheats on her, he's a selfish pig. If she cheats on him, it's because he's a selfish pig.
coolheadal Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 That's not so! What happen too guy's like me who has never cheated. Loyal husband now tore apart by this nightmare from the cheating wife from hell!
Soxfaninfl Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I never cheated either. I was with my wife for 12 years.
PegNosePete Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 That's not so! What happen too guy's like me who has never cheated. Loyal husband now tore apart by this nightmare from the cheating wife from hell! When you wake up from the nightmare you buy a red convertible, go skiing and start brewing beer in your living room. Basically whatever you always wanted to do but couldn't because you were tied down. It's great!
reboot Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Lots of us never considered being married as "tied down".
2.50 a gallon Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Superbowl party 1980, 7 couples, start of football season, 1981, only one couple survived. I guess you could put over half of them as cheating wife, that being mine. All of them, except the surviving couple, the men were associate OM's in lust with my Ex. Only one of them got to score, two of their wives succumbed to my advances after exposure, another locked him out when he was exposeed. The others, were cheating husbands, one with his young co-worker, and the other with the company's money Mz. Pixie, wait until you get into your 60's. The only couples that I know of who have a chance of celebrating their Golden wedding anniversary are in their 70's. I am a baby boomer and know of nada, zero, zilch, of my classmates who went beyond 30 years. I take that back, I know of one, a grade school classmate in my home rural home town. She met her H as a freshmen in High School, they live on a farm in the bible belt. So that would be something like 1 in 500 or so. And please don't pin this all on cheating wives. Many of my friends, married right out of high school, to avoid the Vietnam draft, they had kids, the wives gained weight, and with the ending of the war and the draft, so too the marriages. It was my buddys who pulled up stakes,
sumdude Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 To be honest i just think that marriage, at least in the traditional way it used to exist, is just obsolete.
worldgonewrong Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 To be honest i just think that marriage, at least in the traditional way it used to exist, is just obsolete. It's not obsolete. It's just that a certain percentage of people in our culture treat everything as disposable. Nothing is savored, nothing is refined or augmented. The attitude is: if it doesn't hum along like it used to, then trash it.
Surfer203 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 WGW: Has it correct, disposably society that we live in.. everything, technology, relationships, whatever.
sumdude Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I had that same opinion for a couple years after my divorce. Now with a couple more years under my belt my views have changed. I see way too many of my contemporaries going through really difficult marriages. Most of my friends (late 30's- early 40's) are either still single or divorced. These are educated people in a large urban area. Generally what I see is that both work full time and are chasing individual careers and interests. There's no classic division of labor. We're constantly surrounded and bombarded with new people, work connections, etc etc. Just where does a standard marriage fit anymore? BTW here's an interesting article on the subject. http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/when-a-woman-cheats-shes-looking-for-more-than-satisfying-another-man/2011/06/16/AGf0f6XH_story.html
worldgonewrong Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 That's a good point, sumdude. Everyone's getting married to the Almighty Dollar.
worlybear Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Have thought for some time that the number of cheaters rises with the increasing longevity in western culture. Not that many years ago , people married for "life," had a family and went off to the happy singing grounds at 60-65ish. Now,with life expectation projected to top 100 yrs as norm,both men and women are walking away from their marriages. I understand that its "to have some me, time." So WTF have they been doing for the last 30+ years or am I missing something here?!!:mad:
Author Conscience Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 Agreed ! you do what you warent able to do before! LOL she cheated on me and now she is trying to take my kids away from me go figure!!!
Surfer203 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 The beauty of it is.. you can have both a social life/enjoy activities/do what you want and be married at the same time. It's about striking a balance, the best of both worlds. Can't beat that.
