[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I feel like my DH and I are the only ones with a long (30 years), happy marriage. It makes me sad. We have so many friends who have divorced. I have no desire at all to cheat. [/quote]

My parents have been married 39 years years and they are crazy about each other. There is no doubt in my mid that they are still physically attracted to one another! A lot of their friends who have been married 30 plus years are the same way so there is hope. My parents have a winter home in Florida and my Dad retired a few years ago because he really hated being away from my mother even though he liked his job. When they are apart for more than a few days they are miserable. I love it![/quote]

Don't be certain. My parents have been married for well over 50 years and they have both cheated. They do love each other. I can tell they are physically attracted to each other (especially my mom to my dad). They really LIKE each other. They still have sex. But the cheating can happen nevertheless.[/quote]

What's the big flaw in your parent's marriage that led both of them to cheat if they love each other, LIKE each other and are physically attracted to each other? It has to something more than it can just happen.[/quote]

I'm not the PP, but I had to guess, the appeal of new and strange.

You don't ever want to have sex with someone new just for the thrill of it? I don't act on this desire out of respect for my H. But I get it. I understand intellectually why other people do, even those who do genuinely love their spouse.

Of course, but I genuinely love and respect my spouse and can't intellectually understand why other people do unless their intellects/brains are in their penises or vaginas. I suppose many are![/quote]

PP here. Or their marriages aren't as strong, so they are tempted more because they have less to give up.

I described my marriage on the previous page and would rate it an 8 or 9/10 (because nothing is perfect). I know I would be an absolute FOOL to give what I have up. But if my husband didn't help out as much, if I liked him less, if we had less money, if we fought more, if he wasn't as generous in bed, if I hated my in laws, etc. etc. I'd have less to give up and so might be tempted more.

Kwim?[/quote]

PP here - I agree with you. We are 8/9 out of 10 as well but if it slipped to a 3/4 who knows? But I'll keep working on my DH to get him to a 10!! LOL![/quote]
