If you have a truly happy marriage, could you be tempted to have an affair?

An ex of mine always maintained that oral sex didn't amount to infidelity......

like clinton then...

CountessDracula · 25/09/2003 13:57

Technically true I guess!

CountessDracula · 25/09/2003 13:58

What about snogging?

fio2 · 25/09/2003 13:58

snogging nothing is it..

WSM · 25/09/2003 13:59

Still a no no for me.

fio2 · 25/09/2003 13:59

oops forgot an s

Dunno have not even had a snog with anyone other than DH for 14 years, maybe should try harder!

WSM · 25/09/2003 14:02

I'd be just as upset if DH snogged someone else as I would if he'd slipped her the stiff one eye. Perhaps if he (or I) was drunk I could let a snog go, hopefully I'll never have to find out what I'd do in that situation.

The way I look at it is...any sexual contact (even kissing) is 'wrong'. It implies that you do not have any consideration for the feelings of your partner. However, fantasies are acceptable. God, the number of times I've fancied another man. So what, I have desires. Maybe if I got more sex from dh I wouldn't, but I don't believe that for one second.

I'm with Ghosty - I meant what I promised when I got married. I have a truly happy marriage and no one w/could ever compare to dh.

flamingo · 25/09/2003 19:29

does anyone have a friend they KNOW they would sleep with if they weren't happily married?

Countess I am with beetroot on this point, I would be devo'd.

flamingo, you must be joking.One of dh's friends just needs a fishing rod in his hand and he would be a perfect garden gnome.He looks like an elf.
