[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of us are perfect.  Yeah, some of the posters here are sanguine about infidelity or actually brag about it.  I think most of us disapprove of it, but are afraid to be too judgmental because we realize that [b]we're all fundamentally flawed and have moments of weakness[/b].  We may never intend to cheat but then something happens.  A mistake, an opportunity, an unexpected crush.

Tell us your stories of near-misses and almost affairs.  Tell us of your stories of human failure and weakness.  What happened next?  Did it turn into a full-blown affair or was it a mistake you vow never to repeat and never to reveal to anyone (except DCUM...we'll never tell)? Was there any fallout?

Please share your sex, age and marital status.  [/quote]

Of course we are all fundamentally flawed. And of course no one is perfect. However, our flaws and imperfections are not identical. So you cannot say that we are all one moment of weakness away from cheating. I know it makes you feel better about your (potential lack of) moral character, but don't paint everyone with the same broad brush.[/quote]

Certainly, we aren't ALL one moment of weakness away from anything.  But if you think there aren't many stories out there of slip ups or near misses, you're deluding yourself.  You're also looking at it from the wrong point of view.  I also asked for stories where it ALMOST happened.  In that case, I would say it reveals quite a bit of character and strength not to succumb to temptation.  Possibly more than someone who has never been tempted or tested.

Clearly you are on a much higher plane of morality than the rest of us mere mortals.  I bow down before you, oh beacon of goodness and light.[/quote]

So defensive!

I didn't say that there aren't stories of near misses, did I? Nor did I claim to be a beacon of goodness and light. I agreed we all have flaws. We even all have moral failings. But we do not all almost commit adultery. Some of us have very strong boundaries, and don't find ourselves in situations where anything could even "almost" happen.

You'll note in the text I said, "we are all fundamentally flawed and have moments of weakness."  I did not say that we have all almost committed adultery.  Some have, some have come close, some haven't even come close or even entertained the thought.  There is no contradiction there.  [/quote]
