I am actually surprisingly curious as to why you don't think this could possibly be true! I've never met anybody so adamant that nobody can possibly avoid cheating who wasn't just joking around.



I'm married. Most of my friends are married. Enough said.



I see.

I was on 3 long term deployments and several short term deployments when I was in the military. Most of the guys in relationships (married or engaged or just a girlfriend) wanted to remain faithful while away. Some were successful and some weren't. While I was stateside, a certain percentage of other guys were on deployment and I would meet those guy's wives, fiancee, girlfriends in the bars, clubs, friend's BBQ, etc. Many of those significant others wanted to remain faithful to the guys away on deployment. Some were successful and some weren't. I lived with one of the ones who wasn't so successful for a couple of months, and "dated" another.

Not every guy on deployment or girl back home (married or not) felt obligated to remain faithful to their significant other at all. That was their prerogative and I never imposed my beliefs on them, but I also never met one who tried to make themselves feel better by claiming that everybody else was just like them.

Just because you and your friends shoplift candy bars every time you get hungry, doesn't give you some sort of license to accuse everybody else in the store of doing the same thing.

Sorry, partner, I wish I could ease your conscience by agreeing that I would cheat on my wife, but you're just going to have struggle with the reality that you just talked to a guy on a porn board who never has and never would cheat, or choose to continue to live in denial.

No hard feelings.
