Gwyn
I was raised in home where men cheated - I've been exposed to this behavior all of my life and I don't know anything different so with that being said, it's a part of my life and I guess I accept the fact that men cheat.

I was raised in a family where men didn’t cheat. Some of the neighbor guys might have cheated and drank a lot, but no one I know in our family cheated. I just wanted to show you another side of another coin. Not all coins (men) are the same.

Now if you consider posting my feelings, thought, frustrations, and discussing options with a friend or on a public forum, a version of cheating, I guess almost all men cheat.

Many of the guys on this forum with LD W’s have heard our W say they didn’t like sex that often and maybe we, the H should find a friend with benefits (FWB); to which all of the SSM forum men said, they wouldn’t go the FWB route. So here is a situation where we are told (bait) to cheat and we don’t do it.

Like I said, we all knew the "go find a FWB" was bait, so maybe that doesn’t count as an example of a guy not cheating.

Gwyn, all I am saying is, sure some men cheat and I want you to know and start thinking some don’t cheat. If 50% of men cheat, 50% don’t cheat!(made up numbers)

By thinking “all/most men cheat” you are defeating your long-term goals with or w/o your H in the picture.

Look at the numbers from the following web site. http://www.menstuff.org/issues/byissue/infidelitystats.html
