    I agree that both men and women want to feel appreciated and both enjoy sex. I don't want anyone to misunderstood anything I have said. I also don't think that church is necessarily the answer to this problem as someone has suggested. I think that each person has to take personal responsibility in the end, when it comes down to it. But at the same time, this article and book has as it's topic what women can do to keep "him" from cheating. I think it should be more generic and maybe be titled "How To Keep Your Significant Other From Cheating." And that is what we should be discussing here.

      christopher_second, you are Absolutely correct - Title and Article subject. I felt it a little odd that they titled the article the way they did, but the first sentence explains the rational, that's why there were no ruffled feathers here.

    Whoa whoa whoa. Individuality has nothing to do with this issue. Temper that thought by thinking if you would say have the same "thoughts" if you were infected with HPV, HIV, Hep C, herpes zoster etc as an innocent bystander by a selfish sneaking spouse. What will your opinion be then? Imagine the emotional, self respect hit you would take (if you can!) What would you then say?

      Individuality has everything to do with this issue. Each of us choose to be who we are and whether or not the rest of society agrees with who we are is irrelevent. In our minds we all justify who we are and what we do and if someone objects to it then that is their problem not ours. It only bec omes a problem when you buy intto the other persons objections and let it control who you are.

      newsblue - the type of STDs you speak of are solved by competent intelligent use of a condom.

    let's_think_about_this - You comment to Expert in Any Field. This is by far a fair and rightful assessment of the 21st.century American woman. Thank you so much for being enlightening and thoughtful in your expression.

    smorisch -- your last comment. I agree that it helps if a man and woman are willing to talk through a particular issue that is bothering one or both parties, it can help them get over it sooner so the healing process can begin. Which then in turn will either help the bedroom part of the relationship get continue without any hiccups or get back on track if temporarily derailed. Problem is, I think over time, either one or both parties get drained and tired of issue after issue coming up and having to work through it and constantly making up. I agree that it can be exhausting but I think that is the nature of any LONGTERM relationship. But I think it helps if we know that and can learn to only fight the big battles and just let the smaller (more petty) things slide. That way we can focus on working through the more major battles so that we can have a healthy relationship both inside and outside the bedroom. Anybody who has ever been in a longterm committed relationship is aware that anything (issues) outside the bedroom can affect what takes place (or doesn't take place) in the bedroom and when nothing is happening in the bedroom, it causes more problems outside the bedroom. It is a vicious cycle. So, if you can keep the length of time of those cycles shorter, I think a relationship has a much greater chance for success. Thanks for again for the kind words (compliment), smorisch. :)

      christopher_second - Your explanation regarding in and out of the bedroom. There's more to this situation then this arena will allow me to discuss. I just want you to know that you've helped tremendously. I think you've assisted in helping me work the problem out in my own head. Thank you. Now back to the cheating comment festival we have going on!!! :)

    You know what firebird.cadilac. It's Saturday morning and where do you get off on talking about the Catholic religion. There are perverts in every denomination, more than likely in yours too! Get back to the topic for comments. Infidelity!!!!!!!

  • Posted By: bmcsw @ 10/04/2008 11:21:55 AM

    These blogs are a testament to what I said earlier about all humans being "individuals." The opinions expressed here are exactly what I was saying. Nobody will ever totally agree with anyone else about this topic or any other controversial topic that comes up. As passionately as everyone here feels about their convictions over cheating is precisely why some people cheat and some don't. WE ARE INDIVIDUALS PEOPLE!!! So try not to get your backs up against the wall, because I doubt that you will ever convince anyone here that your opinion is any better or more valid than theirs.

    To Expert in Any field: You maybe an expert regarding men's feelings but probably not when it comes to women. Take the time to get to know us and you will know how to get want you want.....sex, sex, sex. It's 2008, we no longer have to hide our sexuality - we like sex just as much as you do. The only difference is that we may not want it from any and every tom, dick and harry. Oh, and sometimes we choose to say no. And please, "spirituality and meaningful" is great, but sex just for pleasure is great too. And we appreciate a fine male body just as much as you appreciate a woman's body. Maybe more since we are now free to admire a man's body. In wanting to be treated fairly and for the sake of survival (to take care of ourselves and our families) we have not only become your equal in the job market and other arenas, but also in the bedroom. No longer is it ok just to want to satisfy you, we want to be satisfied too! (Note: I'm can't speak for all women, just myself and alot that I have talked to).

    christopher_second - Dude!!! You Go.."Oh, we're just having fun making comments having a friendly debate over a touchy subject while sipping our coffee. So, relax newblue. I agree with what you are saying that this is a undefendable subject and that the media today has played a large part in creating the world atmosphere that is centered around sex, drugs, etc. And that if more people went to church, that the rate of fidelity would go down. But right now, I am just enjoying the discussion and reading the posts."

    christopher_second - your last comment... OMG.. Thank you so much. I'm dealing with a matter right now, should not be dealing with it, but yeah... So anyway, you have helped me to better understand where this person is coming from and that I might need to lighten up a little. Women, at least this one, have broad shoulders, but when a man shows complete disrespect then that cuts very deep. Much of what we get angry over are the same issues men do, we just need time to work through them, if a guy is willing to talk about it, most women will get over their hurt alot faster.

    Don't you love the over-reations to pointing out that people have lost dight of basic morality these days. Like the Shakespeare they "doth protest too much." It's sad. And it's such a simple fix, the Golden Rule. Yet people succumb to such obvious bankrupt moral thinking when defending and engaging in cheating. Like it's going to a ballgame or something. Pathetic.

    church has nothing to do with cheating get a real clue I'd have to agree with firebird on that one

    Well so far all the comments that I have read are one sided no one wan't to step back and think that it could be both of the people not making it work men look and so do wemen and before any one says that they don't stop lieing to your self. yes I will agree that a weak or unhappy person will stray. but male or female we all want one thing that is to be wanted and appreicated some females don't want to have sex with there other half as much as they did or as much as the other half dose. And the same is said for the other way around. aswell as if one is sick ect...

  • Posted By: firebird.cadilac @ 10/04/2008 11:00:20 AM

    wow commenting on the posting by "newsblue" Men cheat because they don't go to church are you out of your F'n mind!? Seriously if you believe that *** go hug your bible some more. my guess is your catholic too to top it off,. U say that mainstream media is what promotes bad things such as cheating, drinking, etc... SERIOUSLY! Take a look at your church how many of your priest have done innapropraite stuff to little children and don't say non at my church cause you as a catholic are a community with all other catholics and all there churches. I've been married for 17 great yrs cheat free, and not once since i turned 16 have i stepped in a church and yes we were married outside so don't even begin to blame this *** on god that seems to be the bullshit answer to everything these days

    newsblue- GET A GRIP.

    I don't think it is a matter of winning. I think that men cheat because they are getting something that he is not getting at home. Most of the time he has to initiate sex, clean because she does not, cook because she don't like to and with most women that have been married a long time, sex is just a duty. Don't keep blaming the man. A degree in prostitution is not needed but a willingness is.

  • Posted By: newsblue @ 10/04/2008 10:55:36 AM

    THERE ARE such things as fidelity and respect for others and likewise oneself. What are a lot of these commentors doing, trying desperately to defend the undefendable? I see those commentors as just the whinings of ommature self-centered people. Sorry to burst your childish bubbles folks!

  • Posted By: ck05 @ 10/04/2008 10:43:19 AM

    I'm sorry to reply without reading everyone's comments but what if it isn't cheating that has gone wrong in a marriage? What if it is pornography? And yes, it is true that today's technology has played a major role in why marriages end up failing. You can't turn on television without seeing a barely dressed woman or to have EASY access to even worse. I just hate where this world has gone!

    Why is it always about the men? Women want to feel appreicated as well...maybe if they would give a lil appreication as well, they would get more sex. Men are spoiled and want both worlds. woemn are more indenpendent.. women have always been he ones who had to tkae care of everything.. yes u men work.. but, so does us women and we come home and cook, clean., take of kids, do ur laundry, pay the bills do all the cgrocery shopping... where is OUR appreication??? were tired too, maybe if we didn't have to do everything to please them so much, we would feel more in the mood for sex. IMO.
