Ilovepizzalady Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 I've been reading a lot of threads here since I signed up, and I am flabbergasted at the lack of character in both the posters here and their significant others. Are people really this shallow? Are you really ok with being the woman that a man left his wife and baby for? Do we rationalize everything to the point where we don't realize what is right and wrong? Are people so desperate to be in relationships that they ignore giant glaring red flags, and commit things that they know would hurt them if done to them? Are humans this terrible? 1
BluesPower Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Ilovepizzalady You know, things don't start out the way that they end. My first affair was textbook. Working on large projects together, she pursued me and I was ripe for it. Most people don't start out to have an affair, affairs start as a string of bad choices that get worse as you go along. But also, your right, it is a character issue.
Larryville Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Yes humans are pretty jacked up, all we can do is take a deep breath, work on ourselves and don't let the behavior of other humans pull us into the tar pit. People must work on wanting the best for themselves, many simply don't believe they deserve to be treated with basic human respect and dignity. We all walk through the muck at one time or another more about just surviving some days.

startingagain15 Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Good question. I've been dealing with this a lot lately. I see couples close to me in all kinds of situations of infidelity. My boyfriend himself has admitted to being with two married women in his life. And he didn't see it as wrong at the time because they were in unhappy marriages and said they were planning to divorce. So hey, it was all fine and dandy. It seems to be a common feeling that it's okay that way nowadays. This rationale is insane and selfish in my eyes. It makes me afraid for the future of my children and any relationship they will experience.
