...I feel like I've stumbled into a rather polarised debate here that I'm not necessarily qualified to enter ... but I've been thinking about this. (and we’ve established it’s healthier for me to be here chatting to you guys than hanging out with whoknowswhattheirstatusis men!!)

.....Having said all that, I do understand men and women are different – so perhaps it is possible for men to compartmentalise to the extent they can connect with a woman even though they still have a spouse or significant other in the picture … ???

I think that you are showing some huge steps in getting a life, by some of your changed attitudes. That should cause you to connect with someone in the not-to-distant future. (Sounds like something one might read on the paper within a fortune cookie)

I think that men and women who cheat (both EA & PA) on their spouse are playing an emotional form of Russian Roulette. A truly dangerous and potentially emotionally self-destructive game. It is a game that one can play, but one that can easily go wrong and if it does there may be no way to recover. It also can create deep guilt for the one who engages in such behavior, which is why it is really not good to participate in it from either side. As with most such games of chance, if one plays it too many times, one will loose all they have.
