If it had came to that and he was already so certain that I had that he requested a lie detector test I would just tell him and save us all the hassle of going through the BS.
If you take the test he is going to know, and if you don't take the test he'll know its because your lying so really the only optioon is to finally come clean about it and accept the consequences.

haha NOO. dont go. if I had cheated what so ever and i still had a guilty conscience about it, i KNOW the lie detector would pick that up right away!! instead to avoid the detector test i would make the guy feel bad and make him feel bad for wanting me to do this...like i would be like "why do i have to do this? do you not trust me or something? is my word not good enough for you?
but, if thats not a option for you or if he doesnt go along with that, i would go ahead and ADMIT that you cheated but it was years years yearssss ago and it has never happend since. the best way is that he find out from YOU first not a machine!! tell the person that the reason you didnt tell them was because you LOVE them and didnt want to hurt them or destroy the marriage! tell the how BAD you felt afterwards and that you would never do it again!!
atleast thats what i would do:)

I don't think one would have a choice in that situation. If they want to save the marriage, they Have to take the test.
But for some reason, well I've never tried it before but I just feel like even if I"m telling the truth, there's still a slight chance that the lie detector will say that I'm lying. Because of all that stress when taking the test and whatnot, I have the feeling that I'm trying to tell the truth so hard that it messes up my brainwaves and signals.

No! Because even in your sub conciousness if you fell like you are lying it will show as a lie on the test

yes but i would fess up first and even say you had forgotten about it and were ashamed and had tried to make up for it ever since.
if someone is requesting this then it does not show much trust and maybe the marriage is already in trouble.

If it meant that much to him I would. Note that I wouldn't be doing it to prove my innocence as I have nothing to hide as I have never cheated on my husband. I would be doing it because he asked me to and I know it would make him feel better.

i myself do no longer think of that is advantageous to poke exciting on the president what does that say approximately our u . s .? unfavourable guy no count what solid he does no person see's it they only shop making exciting of him! How could you sense if somebody continuously stated the stupid stuff you probably did and no it is easy to look at something however the undesirable stuff? I wager they could make exciting of you too!!!

if i had something to hide..HELL NO!
If you had some mishaps early on but its wayyyy long ago. then why not, you cant keep things from him in the past but what counts is NOW, if you stuffed up recently, then ur toast~!

If I had nothing to hide I absolutely would tell him I would take the test.
He will then find out how expensive it is.
