I'm curious if you would cheat on the love of your life?

Hypothetical situation. Your married and your partner has an accident or disease that prevents them from being able to have sex!! Would you seek it elsewhere? Would you leave? Would you tell them or keep it a secret? If it was you with the problem what would you want them to do.

    It's wrong to go outside of the marriage for sex. But if you ever did something like that and you discovered the pain of keeping the secret - I'd say KEEP the secret. You did wrong, YOU deserve the suffering. Telling your partner may alleviate YOUR suffering but it will make your partner (the innocent one) suffer because of your actions.

    Better to take the secret to the grave. I wouldn't want to know my partner did that.

    Hope this helps.

    My husband died from cancer and we were unable to have sex for 2 years before his death. Not only did I not cheat on him, but we became much more intimate during those last months before he died.

    When I married him it was in sickness and in health, for better or for worse until death do us part and I stayed true to the vows I made to him...........as I know he would have done if the situation was reversed. There is NO justification to cheat!

    No, I would not cheat. Yes, I would seek orgasms elsewhere-my underwear drawer and endless supply of AA batteries. Age, high blood pressure, stress, lack of sleep-can all affect one's libido and I'm in it for better or for worse. I am cool as long as he doesn't stop snuggling me, paying attention to me, or appreciating me. Orgasms are nice. They are kind of important. They're not important than my relationship and they're not more important than his feelings.

    I have been married a long time now

    Yes my husband has had problems due to medication

    But i would never leave or seek sex elsewhere

    I love him to much to do this to him

  • Eh. I would get a toy and assume that the man's fingers and mouth works fine.

    There is more than one way to skin that cat, and still function as a couple.

    Its a funny thing about really loving someone, other people don't excite you to the point of actually getting into bed with them.

    I know how I would feel if he cheated on me, and I'd never do that to him.

    Sex is an important part of a marriage, and if it came to a point where he was no longer able to satisfy me by any means (and there are options other than just penetration), then we would have to figure out what would work for us. It might mean a more "open" relationship, it might mean divorce.

    I wouldn't cheat on him. Sex is very important that doesn't mean I need someone else to please me. If our sex life came to a point we both were frustrated I would suggest separation instead cheating.
