That's what I meant. Why? One day you will realize you despise each other but you are bound by law. NOW you have to get divorced. That's a waste of $200. It ain't worth it.

The Catholic Republican's lesson: Cheating = bad
I never cheated nor will ever cheat on a woman.

Well, seeing as I don't date other men, I couldn't cheat on them. If I did, I still wouldn't cheat.

I will never cheat. I value integrity and honosty too much--especially regarding relationships and similiar things.
In school... I probably won't cheat... well not on tests anyway. On homework I might, but usually I'll just take the zero if I didnt do my work.

Despite my constant (but joking) suggestions to others and myself to cheat, I have never and will never. At least on anything major, I can't recall a minor incident either
. I often say "hmm, you don't want to study? Then just cheat on the test", and "you can always cheat in life". It sorta has the opposite effect so I do good

I don't cheat because I don't have to. No matter what it is, a test, relationship, game of some kind.

OT:
BTW, it will never begin. The condition fails at the first iteration and the loop exits.
If you used "x >= 1", then it ends after 2^(n-1)-1 iterations, where n is the number of bits used to describe int. When the int counter wraps into the negative range the condition is no longer satisfied and loop terminates.

That's one way of looking at it. I know that I won't tire of things though. I know what i'm getting myself into.

Sorry to get you out of your cynism, but hopefully there IS people that don't just tire about their significant other as if it was a worn habit.

Exactly! And after some of my past flops, its quite a statement for me to say that.

Yes, I have cheated. Several times. But the last time was 9 years ago. I was young and didn't value a relationship good enough. Thta is a mistake I won't make again.
I do not intent to do it again. But it would be very naive to say I will not.
People change and situations change. We can keep on telling eachother that we should end our relationship, before seeling adventures elesewhere. But that is not how things happen most of the time.
If a relation has lasted for 5 years or longer, but gets worse, you simply don't put it aside that easy. It is not a black&white thing. Ending a relation means not only putting an end to the misery, but also putting an end to the good things. Just like new shoes: you don't throw away your old ones, before having new! I am not advocating that is agood thing, nor saying a relation can be compared with a pair of shoes, but it is a natural way to think.
Having an 'outdoor adventure' can open eyes. Either you come to the conclusion your relation should stop, or you suddenly realise again how valuable it is!

Cheating is so common - it hardly seems like cheating.
I was once involved in a large population study of human genetics. The field troops collected DNA, the labs did the analysis and guess what? Pick any western society and 10 - 15% of people don't have the father they think they do.
In my single days, the limit for me was three girlfriends (non-residential) at a time. There aren't enough hours in the day for more. My wife was living with a guy when she agreed to be my wife. No big deal for either of us.
Why buy a book when there's a thriving lending library in town?

Because a relationship is not buying a book or lending a girlfriend.
I just can hope one day you will have the nice surprise to see your wife saying "Oh, I have to say you, I'm going to marry another guy. Yes, it's been one year since I've started a relationship with him. By the way, I'll keep the kid with me, after all it's his, not yours. Bye."
Though I doubt someone who consider normal to have three "relationship" at the same time normal would feel any worse to lose one.
And you'ld be right. I don't own my partner. We are simply travelling pretty much on the same road in life at this point in time (and for the last 12 years). If she decides to take the next left turn, that's her choice. Nothing I can do about that.
That is what I regard as true respect for the individual.

True respect for someone is to respect his values.
Fidelity is nothing about "owning" someone, it's about respecting someone, respecting his feelings, and acting honourably toward him.
Of course, it's just much more convenient to disguise cowardice, lazyness, egocentrism and egoticisme as "respect", as absurd and contradictary as it is.
Much easier, it allows one to completely disreguard any feelings, values, opinions and respect that others have and to just take what one wantsn, all the time backing it up as "respecting others because I don't own them".
Talk about red herring and straw man
Bah, hypocrisy is the common tool used by people to justify how they can do their whims without bothering about others. Hardly anything new.
