Do you think an affair can be harmless if it's never discovered?

And if its mainly physical, neither party had any intention of leaving their partner and it's conducted at times they would be away from their families anyway?

Your relationship wouldn't work without the trust would it, you are quite right

Well done.

RadagastTheBrown · 17/10/2013 21:49

A relationship won't work without trust and yet you have (and would do again) had sex with a bloke for whom trust meant jack shit. Discuss.......

Chibbs · 17/10/2013 21:50

i wouldnt want a relationship with those men. - just sex

ScaryFucker · 17/10/2013 21:51

Rad, I think it went whooooosh Grin

RadagastTheBrown · 17/10/2013 21:52

No but the point is they WERE in relationships where trust should have been important......

I think we just have to accept that Cripps has an astonishing lack of empathy and can't comprehend that harm could be done to someone other than herself.

ScaryFucker · 17/10/2013 21:57

I think she's proppa kewl innit. Perhaps one day she will be on the receiving end of Nigel dipping his Golden Wick elsewhere, without her knowledge.

RadagastTheBrown · 17/10/2013 21:58

Continually chanting 'oooooooommmm' to get my blood pressure back down. And breathe.......

Chibbs · 17/10/2013 21:59

of course i can comprehend the harm it could do to someone else - perhaps i just dont give a shit!

RadagastTheBrown · 17/10/2013 22:01

Thank you and good night!

I think we've had quite enough of the attention seeker now haven't we?

I'd get that keyboard fixed if I were you though love. Must be a pain never to be able to use capital letters.

ScaryFucker · 17/10/2013 22:02

Lovely.

Chibbs · 17/10/2013 22:04

may as well be honest

ScaryFucker · 17/10/2013 22:05

It's ok, chibbs. We didn't think for one moment you are any sort of decent person. No illusions shattered here Smile

RadagastTheBrown · 17/10/2013 22:05

So you have one redeeming quality, who knew?!?

ScaryFucker · 17/10/2013 22:07

In other news, I remember when MN was mostly populated by people with more than two brain cells to rub together.

RadagastTheBrown · 17/10/2013 22:09

Is MN becoming a poor person's Jeremy Kyle, I wonder.....

Leavenheath · 17/10/2013 22:10

Me too, Scary. Me too...

yeghoulsandlittledevils · 17/10/2013 22:10

Chibbs

For you: Halloween Biscuit with added karma.

ScaryFucker · 17/10/2013 22:14

Sometimes I miss an intelligent argument, with people who are articulate and know how to structure a nuanced response

"perhaps i don't give a shit" isn't really cutting it Sad

changeforthebetter · 17/10/2013 22:15

Ok, so if I steal money from someone and they don't realise, that's ok then........ ?

Nah! The only way is a truly open relationship otherwise it's lying.

morethanpotatoprints · 17/10/2013 22:20

I think you need to ask yourself how you would feel if you were his wife. The person he promised to stay faithful to, forsaking all others.
How can you have anything to do with a man who would do this to somebody.
There are plenty of single blokes out there who will give you respect, which in turn will give you some respect, because you can't have much nor self esteem to stoop so low.

RadagastTheBrown · 17/10/2013 22:25

I don't know, SF, I'm all for reasoned, balanced and considered statements intended to establish a proposition but in this Twitter dominated 140 characters or fewer World, perhaps we need to accept that 'Argument Lite' is the future!

ScaryFucker · 17/10/2013 22:32

Bollocks to that, Rad Grin

At least use "I" when referring to oneself.

I am not exactly verbose myself.
