  • Well I thought that was sort of what I wrote and I still don't understand it.
    How is showing someone something on a DVD any different to watching it in real life. You still know they've done it.

    I think we have to wait for NDG to get an explanation.

    I behave differently in some ways if I'm with a group of friends, or with my sisters, for example, than I would if I were with my OH and he was there too.

    But watching how I did behave (say, on a DVD someone made without me knowing) shouldn't ever upset him. Bore or bemuse him, sure.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Just don't get why she would want to DVD her night out, surely that is for her to have fun with, not naughty fun but fun why OH would want to see that baffles me:D

    I never have DVD-ed a night out, and I'm sure OH has got better things to do if I did video it!

    What I'm saying though is that if he were happening to watch, he'd not be upset by my behaviour.

    I wish my Mrs would tape her nights out, she learnt pole dancing a while ago :) that would have been a funny watch.

    She does do other dancing as well though and I have got DVD's of her doing public performances of that.

    I think you could have got that across in one post, not four :rotfl: but anyway, yes I get it now, thankyou :kiss:

    One day I hope to be as perceptive as your good self _party_

    Probably about the same time as my gender reassignment surgery.

    I couldn't forgive that even.If I thought my OH's bits had been anywhere except where they should be, he would be "bitless";):D:D
    Seriously, it would prey on my mind forever if I thought/knew he'd been unfaithful:(:(

    Yes I can see that but there are extenuating circumstances for that one decision, I am not sure that someone goes out from their marital home and decides before he gets to the pub that he is going to pick up a girl and have a one night stand with her, I am not sure a one night stand is as calculated and cold as a full blown affair.

    In my mind a one night stand with some random woman they picked up in a pub is as bad if not worse than a lengthy affair with someone they have real feelings for.

    Is that the case, though? Has he said that to PTN?

    When I was seeing my OH while he was married, he was under no illusion that I felt I had to be "faithful" to him.

    I know he would not like it if I was to start seeing someone else, but he's also not silly enough to think he would have any right to try and stop me from doing so.

    It's a bit late to get on your 'igh 'orse after posting about your infidelity on an internet forum.



    I think the silly asides have defused a tension that would otherwise result in more rudeness to yourself and others.

    And we really don't need any more of that, do we?

    I'm not actually being unfaithful to anyone, so its not really to do with my infidelity.

    And I'm more than happy for the thread to have silly asides, I'm not totally lacking a sense of humour :)

    I'm surprised and most people don't seem to agree with you.

    Maybe I shouldn't be that surprised, because you just seem to be putting forward reasons why, what you are doing, isn't so bad.
