Can you honestly say that you would never step out on your partner?
I know people are adamant about not cheating but can you seriously say that you know what your response would be without actually having been put a situation with that option?

It's true..everyone wants to act like they are angels and they would never cheat or lie or anything of that nature. We are humans and we make mistakes. If God intended for us to be perfect, Jesus wouldn't have had to die for our sins.
Anyway...I am not the cheating type of person. I don't condone at all.
But at one point in my marriage I was felt so bad and so alone and my husband didn't even acknowledge me I got to the point where I started confiding in one of my male friends. One thing lead to another..anyway...this relationship gave me the confidence to look at my self and say "I deserve better then this" and I told my husband that I was done.
My husband found about the affair and he nearly lost it. It took this affair for him to realize that I was a good wife and that I was worth keeping and he fought like hell to win me back.
And believe it or not...we have never been happier. We are more in love now then we have ever been.
So no ...I don't believe in cheating but a women can be pushed to find happiness and a girl will do what a girl has gotta do.

I can honestly say that. I have been married for 16 years and I have actually been in a position to step out. Wouldn't even consider it. One of my male co-workers even showed me a picture of his privates on his cell phone as a hint. He is 17 years younger than me. Didn't take the bait and never even said a word to anyone. We still work together, we are friends and don't mention it at all. I have had a few opportunities where no one would find out. I love my hubby dearly and would never do such a thing. Being I am 46 though I kinda like to know I may still be hot and not an old undesireable old lady though. I don't go out and look for it and don't even dress to get that attention. I work nights in a residential home and wear sweats to work most of the time.

I'm 44...I've had the option...I've been the 'other woman' (long ago)...and I'm quite sure I would not cheat, nor would I ever (again) cheat with anyone. It's a horrid thing to do, and not worth the karma. I didn't like who I was when I briefly played with a married guy. Then it hit me how stupid I was to pay with someone I'd never date, because he was a cheater. The sex wasn't anything to write home about either...I was just in need of an ego boost, and didn't consider the consequences.
I've also been cheated on, and that felt like being stabbed in the heart. It takes an incredibly selfish person, with no conscience, to do it.

After years in a marriage made in hell and then years of struggling with the carry over pain and extreme loneliness. I was found by a man who treats me like a queen, accepts me just the way I am, scars and all, and loves me with his whole heart, just as I love him. Yes I can honestly say that I would never cheat on him, no matter what the situation. Why would I ever want to jeopardize the happiness i was given?

I can honestly say I would not cheat, not only because I have no reason to cheat, but because I know how my guilt conscience is. I've been known to lose sleep over a harsh tone of voice I used with someone. I could not live with myself if I cheated on my husband.

I can't honestly answer that because I've never been in that situation, but if a woman was all over me, offering to do all the things guys dream of, I would be very hard pressed to say no.

Yes, I can say that I would not step out on my husband. He is in the Army, and is gone for up to and including a year at a time. When he is gone, there are many Soldiers who will tell me that if I need ANYTHING, just to let them know. So yes, I have had the opportunity many many times in the last 12 years that we have been married. Some of us can honestly say it because we have been there and said no.

Yes I can because yes I have been in a situation where it was offered and I turned it down. A person that is a coward isn't typically only a coward some of the time, they usually are a coward all of the time. Same goes for someone with courage, dignity, etc.

I can honestly say that i would NOT step out on my partner...I have been in the situation where i have been stepped out on, therefore i know what it feels like!

I know I can't. I do try, but every relationship has a breaking point and I'm not that strong or maybe I've never found a relationship that is that strong. Not sure which, maybe a little of both?
But no I can't say that.
