[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to boil most of the responses here down to this:
Men can. Women can't.[/quote]

Yeah.  All the women had/have to believe it was love to make themselves feel better.  Otherwise, they feel like a Ho.[/quote]

Contrary to what most of you are saying, I am a woman who was in love with my husband, and I had an affair. Our marriage was not great at the time due to work/financial/kids/moving out of state etc stress (aka the usual life stuff), but I loved him. I was having my own personal self esteem/unworthiness crisis and sought approval from other very high status men. I didn’t even so much actively seek attention as I did accept attention from these men. A more self-confident, grounded, self-aware, thoughtful woman would typically fend off this common unwanted attention, as we do on a daily basis. When was invited over I accepted under the guise of friendship. I wanted to be wanted by some high status people/men. Turned out of course they just wanted sex, and I got tangled up in emotions along the way. Of course I lost my marriage to my wonderful hardworking husband along the way. Don’t do it, people. If you love your spouse, reign in all of your broken-ness so you don’t inadvertently destroy your family. Lust and your personal issues can literally blind (limerence, cold vs hot emotional states) you to your real priority in life- your family. [/quote]
