Anyone that wants to bring a lie detector into a relationship needs help in many ways. starts with your own evaluation by a counselor and after those deep rooted problems are figured out then you move on to couple counseling. you should be able to complete all this in 3 or 4 years. sometimes honest and trust issue's are hard to overcome remember.

Hmmm, a lot of "facts" in there for a hypothetical question. You know if you do take the test to satisfy his wish to know the truth that it will most likely end your happy marriage. If he's asking then he's got suspicions that you haven't been faithful, so the best thing to do would be to come clean with him and hope for the best; for finding out by a lie detector isn't the way you want him to find out.

If you did cheat... then take your licks. Be an adult and realize that there are consiquences for your actions. Maybe you shouldn't have cheated if you wanted a happy marriage??? just a thot.
It does not matter if you love your partner dearly... did you BEHAVE like you loved your partner.
If you are the woman and you have been making sure that your man is VERY happy in the bedroom, then it will probably be forgiven. If your man is less than 100% pleased in the bedroom, then you are in trouble. You don't fulfill him, yet you found time and sexual energy to give sex to someone else. That will never be forgiven.

Polygraph tests do not hold up in a court of law so even if I had cheated, and failed the test there would still be room for doubt. So yes, I would do it.
Hypothetically, if my partner wanted me to go as far as to take a lie detector than obviously it has been eating at him and there is no trust in the marriage.

Sorry, can't answer your question.
I never cheated on any of my husbands ( Even though they cheated on me), so I can't say whether I'd take a test if I had cheated.
I think the question you're asking is, should you take a polygraph to ease your spouse's mind, because you DID cheat and lied about it.
The answer is no. You'll fail. Well, actually, those tests aren't as accurate as people think. You *might* fail.
The better thing to do is come clean and hope he forgives.

There are very few things that offend me more than being accused of lying, so yes, but I wouldn't be happy about it and would expect a prostrated apology.

Nope.
Not in a month of Sundays. I lie about everything. I even lie about my own name.

Absolutely I would if it was an issue for him. I've nothing to hide and would pass with flying colours!
