    What's pretty ironic (although I'm not judging individuals) is that unhappily married people would come to this thread; like if you're unhappy in your marriage, wouldn't you lurk the singles thread?

    Single is way different than unhappily married

    My point was, if you're unhappy and looking for attention/conversation...one would think you'd subject yourself in a thread that has singles (if you're after a new catch), not subject yourself to a majority that is married and presumably happy, as this thread is intended for married chit-chatters which inadvertently implies happily married.

    i dont think singles can ever understand whats it like to be married...hence y sometime u yearn for some attention form another like married person who is in the same boat and will have a lot more in common...if that makes sense

    If I wasn't happily married I think I would start me own thread. Something called....hmm Cheaters wanted or really I am separated just haven't changed address yet. Yeah that's what I'd do. *hint hint*

    It has been my experience that "looking" is a very slippery slope. What does anyone else think? I believe no matter how good one's relationship is, the "grass-is-greener" fallacy can happen regardless especially on the internet.

    Depends on the "looking". I've been married for a long time now, but I'm always looking for people to goof off with online. I look for new friends in real life, but I'm not going to go behind my wife's back to get laid or start a relationship with someone else.

    I totally understand but have also seen cases where something begins innocently and gradually evolves to where one partner cannot compete with the online friend. I don't disagree with you, I just think looking can become more than it starts out to be.

    Easier to pick up unhappy people. :p

    So, you mean an unhappily married person on the hunt typically looks for another unhappily married individual?

    That makes sense and I understand communicating with people of similar interests/predicaments. As another mentioned, I do agree that it can become a slippery slope, if the person you share that predicament with is of the opposite sex (or the sex you're attracted/married to).

    I guess. Possibly. I mean, if you multiply two negative numbers, you get a positive, right? Basic math says that there's no way that scenario can go wrong. :D

    So, if I'm a married man and I'm chitting and chatting with a married woman, who is not my wife, it's only a matter of time before we're doing the horizontal mambo?

    I guess I view my marriage differently.
