Can an affair ever have a happy ending?

Condoms?.........

Up to a point.

50% of cases of genital herpes presenting to genito-urinary clinics nowadays are type 1 (ie the one usually associated with cold sores on the mouth), presumably there has also been a similar crossover to mouth of type 2 and with a large percentage of the population being asymptomatic neither party may necessarily be aware they are a carrier. While I agree that condoms may provide some protection from other STIs, even without the chance of crossover orally, with genital herpes being a largely 'external' STI, condoms would provide little protection

I know someone who found out her hubby had been diddling away when they both got severe eye infections.Turned out it was linked to chlamydia, and the doc had only seen two cases in his whole career.They had to be treated for weeks at the hospital opthamology dept, and are still together:eek::eek::eek:

Well I do

I'm pretty sure I have the same kind of "exciting lifestyle" as Nicky, so I do understand where she's coming from and what she's saying and I do have a high sex drive, I don't have a problem with admitting that tbh.

But... I wouldn't hurt my OH, just wouldn't do it. Bodice ripping sex ..... if it happened, then I would have to appraise my entire life and understand that my relationship with my OH was either over, or the bodice ripping bit was a mistake and hope she never found out. If she did, I would have to take whatever happened like a man.
If she didn't, I wouldn't carry on behind her back.

I think it's despicable what PTN's bloke is doing to her and his wife and I've told her that. I have no respect for him at all.

Lovely informative post to douse the flames of one's bodice ripping lust. :cool:

One aspect of adultery is that often the other person can appear more exciting than their legal partner because they never see the smelly socks, never have to pick up wet towels after them, never bother them with bills, or tax returns or shopping or parents' evenings or any of the minutiae of ordinary everyday life. They just have to be on their best behaviour and look sexy.

But that is not real life and the person you have sex with might turn into a different person if you were to live with him and all his annoying habits.

Love is sticking around anyway, in spite of the boring things.

My sentiments exactly and what I was trying to say in my last post.

Couldn't have put it down any better than this!

Thank you - I'm fully aware of all that.

And the lesson to be drawn from that is always wash your hands before, during and after sex :rotfl:
