[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do this. I set very strict boundaries. It happens only when I'm on business trips (I go to the same cities every year) and don't keep in touch with any of those people when I'm not there, other than a happy birthday text or the like.

Meanwhile I adjusted my work hours so I'm with the kids every afternoon, and we have lots of great time together on the weekends as well.

So who knows.. maybe I'm an awful person but I don't see it that way. We have great family time together, and my dalliances are within very strict boundaries.[/quote]

NP here: I'm confused. So if you make time for your kids, but you also make time for "dalliances" only when away on business trips, do you think that's less of an infidelity? How would you rate your spouse as a parent if s/he did the same thing?

Is this a new pattern since you married or had kids? How can you assure that this will not become an "at home" habit too? How do you avoid attachment to a person you're cheating with, especially if you travel to the same cities? Do you have a "no repeat" rule? [/quote]
