I'm leery of hugs, kisses and nudges from anyone who never bothered to introduce themselves, no matter where they're from. If you nudged someone in the grocery line, you would at the very least say, "excuse me."

Seriously though, if someone has nothing to say to you right from the start, how is that going to work online?

It should be pretty easy to love yourself Pkh. Even WE can see you have many lovely qualities and we barely even know you.

Perfect!

I certainly hope not. The last thing I want to find is an exact person.

How did I not see that coming, Mr. Smarty Pants?

I think marriage can be the most wonderfully fulfilling commitment to life two people can experience together.

I also know that most of the time it is not.

Married or committed, you still used the term cheating. Are there different degrees of cheating? Did it hurt less without a ring when she did it to you? I would suggest that if you want to cheat it's because you want to hurt her back. If you wanted to find someone who will not cheat on you, why would you not want to free yourself first?

It would seem to me that if you choose to stay, you are choosing to forgive. If that's not working for you there is only one option I can see. Consider what it will say to your child growing up watching a relationship that continues the way yours is structured now....walking that line of physically staying when you've already left in your heart and mind? We teach our children how to love by example.

Just some stuff to consider when you're weighing your decision.

The "in love" feeling doesn't exist on it's own, neither does it last on it's own.

To get where I am today I actually sacrificed far too much.

Ironically, or maybe justly...where I am now is not even all that terribly special after all.

Lesson learned.

What would I give up for love?

The situation is very relevant, so without specifics all I can give you is a vague answer.

To gain someone's love...nothing.

To protect someone I love...possibly everything.

Sorry Jeannie. Yeah, I could have said that differently. Sorry dear.

I'm not at all scared to show my picture, since I'm not bound to run into my Mother or boss here. I had several up before I made them private. The reason I took them down is that I'm not inviting dating invitations right now, and am simply reversing your own methods. Non sexy pics invite fewer...while no pics at all invite an occasional stray.

Besides, I'd rather spend my time here talking with my friends and playing in the forums than opening all the "u are nice sixy bodie un so real pretty gurl," which I can assume are disingenuous at best when I've taken better pictures scrubbing the toilet in a moo moo.

That's the spirit!

You're absolutely right. I actually have learned that you're usually joking. That leaves it difficult to figure out when you're being serious.

I don't think it's that hard Pony. But it's early still.

Exactly why I prefer to think they've been hit by a train.

Darn that was vicious! You guys are a bad influence. I was a sweet person when I got here.

I seriously doubt I've encountered a married man here. I message with very few people anyway.

That's because I know what all of you are going to say before you say it. Spooky huh?

It's like I just told a friend a minute ago...make em work for their pictures.

If you mark your pics private, you can send the link in a message...right here.

Yes, but I thought long and hard about it before I said it.

Hold the presses! Men have emotions?

*ducks* I'm just kidding.

I read the question clearly enough, but somehow all I'm seeing is...someone stealing from me justifies my stealing from another.

If the two of you are going to play tit for tat, that's your game. Why would it be okay to drag an innocent girl into issues you have with your wife?
