If marriage is commitment, what is an affair?

True love starts as friendship. My wife and I are married 39 years and together over 40. We still LIKE each other. Yes, as friends, we like each other. You don't hang around people you don't like. And we also laugh together. Laughter is important. It's what binds us together. And finally, communication is what prevents us from having misunderstandings that lead to arguments. Being willing and able to hear what the other has to say keeps us from getting into arguments. Some will say "There's no such thing as two people who don't argue." Well, I have to disagree. Well, sort of. Yeah, we have had our arguments, but they can be counted on one hand and that's in over 40 years of being together. So I guess we do argue. But it's rare. We're both mature enough to realize that we don't always have the right answer or the best opinion. Listening to each other is the most important thing to keeping things together. As long as you don't loose the LIKE then the love can last. And when you laugh together - - - have you ever watched children play? They laugh and scream with delight. They're making friends and bonding. If they're not laughing then they are not bonding. It holds true all your life.

Now, you ask about the difference between a commitment and an affair: A commitment is something that is not selfish. An affair IS. And love is love. Marriage or not - you can always love someone. Just as a father can love his daughters more than anything in the world, you can love whomever is in your life. Marriage is the outward sign of the commitment. An affair is an outward sign of selfishness. Especially if you're in a committed relationship.

Hope this helps.

Its the same thing!!! 2 people committed to cheating with each other is no different from 2 people who are committed to cheating!! Its just 2 different type of commitments!!

True love is very rare these days!!

You have given a commitment to your husband but are not happy. You meet me and get all the warmth and love you are missing. This is an affair but with love in it.

Dear Buddy,

True Love does not change and it would be intact be it prior to or post marriage.

Best of Luck

Thanks, Warm Regards & May GOD Bless

An affair, if you are married is a betrayal. An affair if you are single is fun!!!

What kind of question is that?
