    You really think so? I think you are deluded.

    Just to clarify, you genuinely believe that everyone in your entire gender, yourself included, is literally incapable of not cheating? :huh: You can certainly know your own faithfulness (or lack of faithfulness) to a partner, but I don't see how you can possibly speak for half of the global population.

    You gave him permission??? ... really?? Does he need your permission to do everything? Can he not think for himself or exercise free will??


    If my OH [EMAIL="sh@gged"]sh@gged[/EMAIL] someone else it wouldn't have anything to do with me it would be because he was a dog and incapable of keeping it in his pants.

    comparing him bedding someone else whie in an established relationship with you sleeping with the ex when it was a very new uncertain relationship is utterly ridiculous.. if you are looking for an excuse for his behaviour you are looking in the wrong place.. I'd give him the heave ho and go find someone who had the same committment as you.

    Surely - if there was any dumping to be done, it should have been done 4 years ago when the OP cheated on him 4 times with her ex.

    Thats my point .com.

    Well he confessed so allow him 50% for that and the other 50% because you said he could.

    I agree with tiger eyes. What a load of nonsense you are speaking edgasket.

    I bet you think it's OK for men to cheat because they 'can't help it' and 'it's in their nature,' but you would go absolutely ape if your woman cheated on you.

    I know a few men who have cheated and expected their woman to accept it because 'men cannot help it,' and she has 'forgiven' him several times. Then when she cheated, he had a meltdown.

    It's OK for HIM to do it, but SHE is not allowed to!

    And 'Men do it because they can't help it' is a pathetic statement.
