Are you the 'straying' type?

[Mo2]

Don't want to cause upset or offence to anyone currently going through breakups/ relationship difficulties, but there's an interesting questionnaire on the BBC website which is designed to assess the likelihood of you having an affair... hmmm... gave me food for thought - anyone willing to disclose their scores??

Have a look at here

Medium risk apparently (ok so only just - 7/20) Hmmm - not sure I will tell DH either

OOOOOOOO Dear.... 16 out of 20. Is that the highest so far?????

I admit it... I'm a tart.

SH You are an innocent compared to me!

7 but I really can't ever imagine being unfaithful.

8: But MN has been an education for me. Can scarecely believe the amount of cheating that goes on.

DP better not look at this.... we get married in 7 weeks!!!! He might not want to marry me if he knows that I am highly likely to cheat on him. I found the link between liking horror films and cheating to be a bit bazarre!

What nonsense. My history (I'm not proud of it) proves it wrong. I scored 4.

M2T I also think that some of the questions are odd. But they seem to be directed to identifying people who need/like a lot of stimulation and/or novelty. I suppose the theory they have is that if you need stimulation and novelty you are more likely to stray. I'm not saying that, but that seems to be the slat they are taking.

Got 6, and it's a bloody stupid questionnaire if you ask me. I mean, I prefer the lights off at night, but what about the fact they're currently on low because of the baby? In any case, I like them off because I can't sleep with the light on, but how do the questionnaire-setters not know that it isn't because I have such a rich fantasy life that lights-off enables me to think myself instantly into the arms of Alan Rickman?

And I have no idea whether my parents have been faithful, although I think they probably have. And yes, at the moment I like things safe and familiar but quite frankly that's because I have bugger-all energy for anything bar fantasising about sleeeeep.

That's my view, then!

Motherinferior.... Alan Rickman???!!

hmb - that must be it. I seem to require LOADS of stimulation and novelty.... perhaps I will let dp read this, it might make him try a bit harder to be spontaneous and exciting!!

nerdgirl lol

Stimulation and novelty chance would be a fine thing. Dh is in one of his I'm tired mode again.

Just done it and scored 9/20, medium risk apparently.

I have cheated on previous LTR's, in fact my marriage is the result of an affair. I was engaged to and had a mortgage with a guy (not married) when I started seeing my DH. My ex worked away an awful lot and when he came back all he wanted was sex which made me feel like some cheap whore. It got to the point where I was afraid to hug him because he would immediately assume that would lead to full sex. So I suppose my situation is slightly different in that I wasn't looking for sexual excitement when I met DH, it was more for affection. It's really not something I'm proud of, I would much rather have finished it with my ex before I started having a relationship with now DH. But the fact is that if I hadn't then DH and I may never have met (we lived a significant distance away from each other) and our gorgeous DD would never have been born, not to mention the lovely relationship DH and I share.

Having been through the shocking guilt feelings that come with cheating on your spouse/partner(brought on myself, I know), I know I could never put my family through that, or myself for that matter. I used to still have guilty dreams 18 months after leaving ex and moving in with DH. There is no way I would jeopardise my relationship with DH and my children for one or several short lived sexual, or otherwise affairs.

9/20 - moderate risk. How un-exciting!

I got 11/20 and I've never been unfaithful to dh either.

Just spotted this thread - 3/20

Definitely goody two shoes though - wedding night for both dh and I was our first night together - after waiting 2 years to be with the man of my dreams, there's no way I'm screwing it up - no one could compare anyway.

Its an old thread but the link still works.

I got 11/20 mid risk

1. Test is pants!

I'm also a 9 - medium risk.

I will admit to having cheated on boyfriends in the past, but they were not really serious relationships in the first place.

I cannot ever conceive of cheating on my DH, he is absolutely amazing and I love him to bits!

Oh! Didn't realise this thread is so old!!

14/20

Christ, it is old!

I scored 10 and am (apparently) medium risk of adultery, but came from a broken home and still feel the consequences of my Father's infidelity. Whether someone will or won't cross that line and risk the emotional futures of their children is in their hearts. We have to answer to ourselves, and my children's happiness is too important to me to waste on a fling.

This is an old one but... I scored 13. Lower than I expected tbh.

I scored 10, medium risk - would have been 11 but despite being quite sure my Dad had at least an emotional affair when I was younger, I'm not 100% sure so didn't use it for the quiz.

Cheated when I was younger, but never on DH.

7, and the profile was spot on - would cheat but doesn't because of damage.
Reading the high-risk profile, it 100% matches the most unfaithful person I know and for the reasons they gave.

9 medium risk - profile fairly good...I do have a tendency to look for excitement but am aware of what I risk losing so purposely avoid courting 'dodgy' situations.

Never cheated...but did have a friend with benefits for a few years when younger (pre DH) as an excitement boost.

Dunno what is with the lights on question though...we always leave the bathroom light on for the DC's to use the loo at night..so it seemed a bit irrelevant to my tendency to cheat tbh!
