Cheating on your partner?

[crossfire]

Wow next time you get married make sure you have a crystal ball and a criminal psychologist with you.

Married? Eek! {Runs and hides.}

And I would have no issue with her ending her relationship because of this, but in your OP, she had chosen to continue the relationship.

The complaint was HIS

@metis Not sure I see the relevance of your post.

To spell it out - if I am in a relationship, I am honest and loyal.

You actually spelled out the relevance with your latter statement, namely that I decided not to enter any "relationship" of commitment until I was ready to propose.

Even prior to asking my wife to marry me, she knew I was still dating other women, and I actually told her that it wouldn't be a bad idea if she dated other men even though she knew I loved her. Therefore, there was no issue of "cheating" on a relationship between us, plus I felt that if either of us decided not to marry each other that we would still have others to fall back on. My wife, otoh, chose not to date anyone else, but that was her choice.

BTW, we've been married now for 52 years.

My point was, is going to prison the same as cheating, ie he was depriving her of her sex life.

Is joining the military and going overseas for an extended period of time the same as cheating? I wouldn't think so. Still, that is not the same as going to prison.

I wouldn't see going into the military as a sort of betrayal, but committing a crime and going to prison could certainly be seen as a sort of betrayal.

Right: despite the fact that he was in prison, she chose to continue the relationship. This means that she commited to be faithful to him. By cheating on him, she broke that commitment.

No it is not. If there was anything of that nature I would have mentioned it. It is simply a case of the male dominating a woman. I am rather surprised that nobody has yet picked up on that.

With all due respect, I must point out that it is rather daring to attempt to speak with authority about the exact expectations and promises made between a married couple that you are not a part of.

Well it is rather hard to join the military in an underhand manner. However planning a crime is different. Trust me, I have done both.

I don't know about you, but I would not trust the presentation of such a show to be accurate.

True, but they did say it, and it is recorded. Your comments are???

I am rather surprised at the replies to this.
@PureX no commitment was ever referred to or indicated. If it is not your" place to mention it", why are you posting?

It was implied by the man's reaction. Obviously, he presumed there was some sort of commitment made to him or he wouldn't have been upset or surprised that the woman took up with someone else while he was in prison.

 

[rocala]

It was implied by the man's reaction.

It was implied by her reaction that he was supposed to be with her.

Honestly, I don't care enough to argue about it.
