[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought it was wrong how women hated Hilary Clinton for staying with Bill after cheating in a very public way. I thought feminism meant women had the *choice* to stay or go, and either choice was valid depending on a variety of factors—including what the woman wanted.

Sometimes the indiscretion is simply that: a mistake. Not everyone is a serial cheater.

If both parties still love each other and want a future together, there’s hope. And staying together to rebuild the marriage will ultimately make life easier: preserve wealth, preserve family unit.

I’ve never cheated or been cheated on, but I’ve watched marriages implode. Some have cheated in rather public ways insofar as the neighbors know about it. Some divorced; it seemed hard for the party that didn’t quickly find a new partner. Some worked through it; they seem happy.

I imagine I would feel miserable watching my partner with a new mate. I would hate watching my kids go off with them on vacations. I’d feel lonely and jealous. I definitely would not feel comfortable dating online and sleeping with singles who could have a STD. I definitely don’t want to worry about money or aging solo. Lots of reasons to stay married. Or at least try. [/quote]

I don’t know why you think STDs are rampant with dating because my ex-husband gave me an STD and I found out right after we got married. Avoiding STDs is possible and not that hard I mean everybody could risk HPV but that’s not bad because it’s treatable if it’s even caught and other things just get tested and use a condom. [/quote]
