"but usually when one partner cheats, the other partner is partially to blame too. " You had me right up until; that statement, Donna. It is insupportable. Cheating is the fault of the cheater only. Full stop, game over. mark

In my personal experience, this bodes ill. But, you know him, so I can't pass a judgement. You absolutely HAVE to confront him. While he may be completely innocent, this behavior is unsettling.
Replying to: Lurker...needs advice
Yes, you should definitely talk to him about this--although confront sounds a little harsh. I admit that I don't know anything about fling.com but it doesn't sound good. A person that is happy with their relationship doesn't go on websites like this that part is for sure. I'm not condoning cheating by any means but usually when one partner cheats, the ...

I think you know as well as I do that there's a big difference between taking responsibility for a decision (or owning it as you put it) and being solely to blame for everything that's happened. As another poster so aptly put it "it takes two to tango", that's true in just about everything. I would have never made the decision to leave my ex-husband if ...
Replying to: Lurker...needs advice
This isn't a question of bitterness Donna. I've been on both sides of this issue. The difference is I take responsibility for my decisions, and you want to blame someone else.
Replying to: Lurker...needs advice
I'm sorry Mark but I disagree. Now I'm not saying that in all cases the other partner is partially to blame when their partner cheats. We all know men and women that will cheat despite getting everything they want and more at home but what about those that don't? What about the men and women who are married to spouses that have absolutely no interest ...

Donna, nobody makes someone cheat. They decide to do it. That's all I'm saying. I would not have blamed you for cheating one little bit, but it would have been YOUR decision, not his. That makes you responsible for it. Don't look for me to play the prig in this discussion and paint a scarlet letter on anyone. I know your real world situation ...

Allison, I am pregnant as well and can TOTALLY relate to this...until you hit the part about this fling.com. My sex drive is all over the place since getting pregnant. I have days that I am extremely horny....but overall, the drive is almost non-existant. One of the things I love about my relationship with my husband is that there is a mutual ...
Replying to: Lurker...needs advice Catfish - the OP didn't say she was withholding sex, she said she wanted it less often. She also said that her partner was understanding and supportive. If he was unhappy with the situation he should have said so and not let her think the contrary. I'm sure if he had said he was unhappy that the OP would have made that effort you suggested. They're a couple. Couples are supposed to...
Replying to: Lurker...needs advice FCL I understand that the OP's boyfriend needed to communicate much more. I agree there, but I have to jump to Donna's defense a little here as I am indeed in my 2nd tri as we speak. My husband and I have a great marriage. He, like the men in this link, does not expect sex while i am pregnant. He constantly reminds me of this, and asks me if I'm sure every time. It's a little annoying...
Replying to: Lurker...needs advice How do I not take responsibility for my decisions, Mark? I've always taken responsibility for the decisions I make. However, we all know that we don't make the decisions we make unless there's a reason behind them. I've personally never made a decision without there being a reason behind the decision. I can't tell you why I didn't cheat on my ex-husband--he was afterall cheating...
Replying to: Lurker...needs advice Folks, you're confusing responsibility with blame. I hold myself and other people responsible for their own actions: a simple philosophy for a simple man. As for blame: there is enough of it to go around. I leave blame to God and small children. mark

Replying to: Lurker...needs advice Regarding cheating, I feel that if two adults are in a marriage and one decides to cheat, they both share in the causes since both should be aware when there is a problem. I have had years to reflect on my ex's actions and can now see clearly that I should have been privy to just about all of the cheating but kept making excuses for her lack of caring for out relationship. I will admit that she...
