What would you rather they do, not teach kids morals at all? People go their own way but yes, they should at least be taught what right looks like and it doesn't matter if the person teaching them is imperfect. It only skates into hypocritical territory when they add a layer of judgement and shame to the teachings. |

Thank you! Basic reading comprehension is a lost skill apparently... |

Did you read the second sentence of the comment you replied to? I DID stop to consider that monogamy isn't normal for all people. I specifically said I have only slept with men and therefore have no direct experience with the sexual habits of women to base my opinions on. You make a good point but it's not a valid response to mine when I did exactly what you're complaining that I didn't do. |

Actually they want to sleep with me because I have a vagina. Not much else required when a man wants sex outside of his marriage. Men who want to cheat can do it without finding the cheap, easy sluts. Your comment sounds like a typical woman scorned who blames the other woman instead of her cheating husband. |

Lawyer here. It's true they would lose the house. Unless both divorcing spouses agree otherwise, the court will order the family home sold and the proceeds split. Generally 50/50 equity split unless one spouse owned the house first, in which case they would calculate the increase in equity during the marriage and divide it. If the home were sold (which the now-ex can make happen), it's not necessarily true that the other spouse could afford a comparable one-- or even afford to buy out the ex's share. This is because although the wife might be able to make the mortgage on her income (and we don't know if they're racking up credit cards), she might not be able to secure that size mortgage on her income-- particularly if they used two incomes to qualify. The spouse being left has no income. He would probably be able to secure *some* spousal support for a brief period, much as an SAHM would. As the lower-earning spouse once he gets a job, he could request and be granted child support for the portion of the children's upkeep for which he's responsible. This is standard with two working parents one of whom earns less. Your statement that the wife would go for custody also reflects ignorance. The default is currently joint custody. Not necessarily 50/50, but joint legal and generally joint custodial. The exceptions are very narrow-- an abusive or neglectful parent or one who has an addiction or significant mental health problems (beyond depression). So the 95% likeliest scenario here is that the house is sold, it's by no means certain that they can get another in the same district depending upon whether rentals exist there, and that at least for a period of time the OP will be contributing toward the ex's upkeep. Your subjective opinion that kids would rather lose their home and have to go back and forth between two homes or apartments than face the possibility that a spouse is cheating is speculative at best. But your statements about what would happen as a practical matter are dead flat wrong under the law of every state and the District. |

Men hit on me because I project that kind of energy. I can get a guy to give me his contact info with just an intense gaze. If you seem receptive and reasonably feminine men will respond. It's a numbers game and those who want to get laid have to play. |

No you didn't. You wrote this:
You say nothing about monogamy for females. Not sure where the disconnect is. But I'm not reading what you thought you wrote. |

That and a friendly smile. |

Yep. I second that. It's true. |

Married woman here. Married men express interest in me on a regular basis. I'd say at least two per month. I dress nicely but not provocatively, I'm in great physical shape, and I tend to smile and make eye contact. I'd never cheated until about a year ago, when I entered an affair with a married man. Interestingly, since that began I get propositioned about twice as often as before. The fact that I'm a sexual being probably shows in my posture. And to the snarky people on here who will say yeah, they can tell I spread my legs or something, nice try. It's just that men like sexually healthy women and respond to us. |

Married woman here. Married men express interest, with varying degrees of directness, at least a couple of times per month. About two months ago I met a man out walking my dog in my neighborhood. He said hello and introduced himself. He was wearing a sweatshirt from my alma mater. I observed I went there, completely without agenda. We chatted briefly. Our lines of work came up. Two days later he emails-- he'd found my work bio on line and wanted to say hello and hoped he runs into me, maybe coffee next time. He had a wedding band and was probably within a block of his home when he first chatted me up. Married. Men. Do. This. |
