Have you ever cheated on your spouse?

Frankly I am appauled that someone would ask this in an online forum. . that is discusting. . First of all marriage is a sacred union. and if this has been violated it is certainly not up for public opinion. . .

In the future please refrain from such topics as it offends those of us that believe in the sanctity of marriage. . .

I don't think it was the original poster's intent to condone infidelity. I believe that marriage is sacred, but I also believe that things happen and life doesn't always work out the way we wish it would. Just like in real life, there are a wide variety of people on MFP. You're bound to find one that's done something you don't agree with.

Didn't say they were condoning it in any sense of the word. . but this is not the place to talk about such things. . . this is not a subject for public discussion. . .

Says who?

You?

Get over yourself, cupcake.

"In the future please refrain from such topics as it offends those of us that believe in the sanctity of marriage. . . "

I think in the future you shouldn't post in topics that offend you. Do you watch tv shows that offend you and then complain about them? There have been 3 pages of replies to this topic so obviously others aren't offended.

Sweeping issues under the carpet and not talking about them is not healthy.

And for the record, my answer is no and I never would. I love my wife and would never betray her. I could never look her in the eye again without feeling terrible. If my marriage were in trouble I would try to work it out but if that weren't possible and I wanted to be with someone else, I would get a divorce.

No for the record I actually don't watch much TELEVISION. . as there are a lot of controversial topics on there. . Things that don't coincide with my beliefs as a christian. . I am not going to put on smut tv in front of my ten year old.

I believe that marriage is sacred. . I also believe where there is infidelidy. . there is also room for healing. . But you don't post your life online. . It is none of anyone elses business. . .

Didn't say they were condoning it in any sense of the word. . but this is not the place to talk about such things. . . this is not a subject for public discussion. . .

Seriously. . I am CHRISTIAN lady and you just don't do this.. . People make mistakes. . we don't need to air them publicly and humiliate people. . these are things that need to be worked through behind closed doors. .

> CHRISTIAN

what's that got to do with anything? Please don't bring your religion into this discussion. I find it offensive. It's not suitable to be discussed here.

> humiliate people

Who's being humiliated? I think people are being very honest, and nobody is holding a gun to their head to make them confess anything.

As it happens, I wouldn't ever cheat on my husband. However, I would never judge somebody else who does, or worry about a group of strangers on an online community who want to discuss it.

If the concept is an anathema to you then why did you even click to open the thread?

Seriously Petal... if you're this tight lipped about life outside of your world then the internet is really no place for you. It's full of scary people who hold different opinions, views and values. Either learn that the world does not necessarily work the way you think it should, or leave it alone.

Posts such as this make it difficult for people like myself to group myself with people you since I also am a Christian. You speak as though you speak for all Christians, which you most certainly do not. It's difficult for some Christians to be accepted in certain parts of the Internet because of the ones who act self-righteous, holier-than-thou, and as if they simply know everything and can do no wrong...cause those are the most outspoken and everyone else judges all Christians based on the actions of a remote few...

I do agree with you when speak about the sacredness of marriage. But, quite frankly, your insistence that speaking about infidelity on a public discussion board is "wrong" is insanely annoying, and the implication that it is un-Christianlike is very offensive to Christians are don't go around judging others all the time and believes that the ability to speak openly and honestly is actually a good thing. I don't recall anyone here judging the other posters or humiliating them. This topic is a real life concern that even Christians deal with. Nowhere in my Bible does God tell me to not talk about problems with others. But if you are truly offended, then don't post! And don't continue to check the thread to read the other posts! Why would you put yourself through that? I mean, do you WANT to get offended?

I'm doubled over in laughter!!! OMG, I'm pure evil. ***Bite you tongue Odus!***

But the answer the question, No, I have never cheated on anyone emotionally, physically or chemically :huh:

I have been cheated on, however. Fortunately, none of them are alive to tell their side of the story.

We get it Jade, you are a really good Christian and are REALLY going to heaven. Like extra heaven.
