Ignorance is bliss?

koan · 08-20-2006, 08:24 PM

If your spouse/partner had a one time, one night affair would you want to know?

RedGlitter · 08-20-2006, 09:11 PM

Yes and I won't need to reload either.

Yes that way I'd know where I stood in his life. In front of the Judge!

Been there done that, kicked his sorry ass out.

If you want to remain blissfully ignorant over this then so be it but what about STD's if nothing else???????

OK, if I don't tell about mine, I won't ask about his. Seriously...When Rick and I were early in our relationship....but that is water under the bridge.

Well, yes, I think. How would I feel about it? Don't know, probably all the usuall emotions, but, I could never bring myself to leave Carrie or throw her out, I love her to much.

Cheating is not tolerated in the work place, school, sports, etc, so why is it tolerated in a relationship.

TBH, if it was only physical, and he was careful, I wouldn't be that bothered.
I know that sounds strange to most people, but I have a strange way of looking at things. I don't see sex as purely linked to love, so as long as that wasn't an issue, he could tell me anything. I don't have a jealousy problem on any score.

I can't relate to that at all. When he's with me, what he has is for me only and vice versa. Even without love there is an intimacy in taking someone into your own body or entering that of another. As there should be. Thefact that he would get pleasure from or give it to anyone other than me is unforgivable. He would never use it again, I tell you.

Dad, who is an intellectual at the age of 52 started to think this way 1 year ago. Good subject for chatting while drinking raki. He's kinda trying to convince me not the read.

No it is not bliss, knowledge is bliss for me.
