Be Honorable and Tell Your Wife When You Cheat

Columns in the New York Times style section do get your attention. I’ll give them that. Like the one last November, written by a professor who justified her role as a homewrecker seducing a married man – titled “An Optimist Guide to Divorce.” I disagreed with her assessment.

Then there was the style column last week that begins:

“I’m not sure it’s possible to justify my liaisons with married men …”

Well, then. At least, there’s a hint of honesty – dare we say a rise in conscience? – that adultery might be wrong. The problem is that the writer is not sure. The author of “What Sleeping With Married Men Taught Me About Infidelity” is no professor. She is Karin Jones, identified as a columnist for Erotic Review Magazine. With such credentials, I’m not expecting prudence.

Jones’s point, however, is not that she is doing anything wrong. She chastises her partners in adultery for not being truthful with their wives about the cheating.

She has completely removed sex from any sense of love and commitment. In other words, she’s just another traveler on this sexual revolution that is headed to nowhere … nowhere but hurt.

Adulterers should be classified as part of the meeto movement. They are guilty of the assault of the unaware spouse. It doesn't get any lower.

Or if your Tom Stevenson city of Salisbury director of field operations tell the husband of the woman you were cheating with, LMFAO!! This guy is a trainwreck

Or be a man and don't cheat in the first place.

My husband and I find that it’s easier just to have an open marriage. I love him, he loves me. We both have the occasional fling but it doesn’t take away from our marriage. Actually makes it fun.

You can't make me!

Or should I have typed:

"You are racist - can I have my free coffee?"

(sigh!)

2:06, the trust is gone from the promise you both made, and there is nothing to guarantee your future with your partner. How can you raise a family on that base?

I pity you and any children you may already have.

Steve Do a little research. People with the highest levels of education are less likely to believe in the rules imposed by religion concerning sex. Sex and love can be two different things.

8:07 how is the trust gone? Telling the truth improves trust. Variety is the spice of life. Same old, same old, is boring. There is a large group of us swingers here in Salisbury. You would be surprised to learn the names of us participants, many well known names.

Sad when you have to resort to watching your spouse with someone else to get pleasure. And truthfully its NO surprise of the same old groups of drunk local so called professionals calling themselves swingers. Its Salisbury for gods sake everybody tells everybody's secrets. There's no privacy.

Sounds to me there's a bunch of sorry ass husbands or wives that have been "convinced" that swinging will keep them out of divorce court as and give up half of everything. Man once told me " its your lie tell it now you want it heard"
