It just seems my views are opposite to the norm and I was wondering how far from the norm I was? I know of friends who split because of this very subject and with the amount of divorce cases that use FB evidence of inproprietry, you'd have to wonder why any couple would do this type of thing.

exactly, however if my partner took issue over me being on this site (being a singles site), I would respect his wishes and leave. I can still keep contact with friends through other means such as msn, yahoo, skype, FB.. etc

Twodawgz: Fark face book ..
yeah for some dumb reason, I am on there. I cringe every time I get an email saying someone did something and I have to go and reply. I have everyone blocked from sending me stupid gifts and requests. I really should delete my profile but in some ways it is a good tool to watch what my kids are up to.

I totally agree. it is an issue between the two people in the relationship not some judgemental irritating turd on a dating site who thinks he can tell everyone else how to live with his 1950's values....

And we all know your values now. Glad I have mine and a dating site is the last place I'll be spending my weekend when I'm hitched again.

It seems to me when you mention "letting your partner" do something that perhaps you need a lesson in english. I think the term you meant to use could have been possession as in "letting your possession" do something? I hope that this very short lesson in the language has been of some help to you.

I'll re-word it for you in plain english.
Would you stay with your partner if he/she was a member on an online dating site?

normalguy68: You're so deffensive about your rights to do as you please that you give yourself away, i don't need to say a thing. Keep going though with your negative, rude, swearing and put downs of me if you like, just shows everyone the way you talk in the real world off the www.
I have personally met MBR as have others on this site and he is the most caring, generous, selfless, thoughtful, funny, charming & open man I have met in a very long time. I find it really insulting that you would assume to know what he is like regarding his relationship and I can assure you, actually I would put my life on it, that he would NEVER go behind his lovely partner's back.

akaRALF: he must have real insecurity and lack of trust which also equates to a low self esteem. If you have to question every little thing your partner does out of fear of them cheating, then you have more to worry about in your relationship than them straying and in fact may help deliver them to the arms of another.
So even though 80% of the people in the courts are using fb and other forum sites as reasons why they have broken up or for evidence of inproper behaviour, you choose to defend your addiction to forums. There are counceling and support groups for this addiction you know. That's why people are on here and not with their partner doing the horizontal limbo, to addicted to the chat.

Well my partner is overseas so no chance of me doing anything horizontal with him at the moment. What if I was at the pub? I could pick up there, or at the shops, hell, I get hit on every day at work, should I stop working just in case?
I am not the straying type, I am committed to my partner and if he were here, I wouldn't be sitting on the computer much at all because, yes, I would be spending my time with him. Again, not that it is any of your business. Maybe you are jealous that others can have a trusting relationship without all the hangups about being cheated on and you can't.

akaRALF: Well if you have said half the crap you have said in here to someone's face I am sure they would skip the swearing and direct a punch to your head, but then again, I am guessing you wouldn't be rude enough, man enough or have the balls to say to someone in the real world the same as you have said here to their face.
