From what I can tell, a lot of members on here are not too quick to find new partners....for whatever reason (maybe something that happen in their past). But, as they socialize with people, they begin to get a deep understanding and feeling of these people. And who knows, maybe one day a meaningful relationship would spawn from that.
First off, I love the bottled water that comes from your country.
I think you ask some good questions...both tricky to answer I think. Nothing is more annoying to me when people play off of using the "correct" words to be dishonest or to not own up to their mistakes. I know somebody like that. In my opinion, people like that are not very successful in life....eventually, people will see through them.
As far as not telling the whole truth...if that person knows what you are trying to get out of them but they are dancing around answering it....then I would call that dis-honest.
If you do not say anything at all....well, technically you are not lying. Lawyers will inform their clients all the time not to say anything. But, do you want to have anyone as a friend who has to work on "technicalities" to get through life?
It is something how "reality" can be manipulated by the media, liars, and deranged people. I suppose we can call some of these realities sub-realities.
I think as we discover more of what is out in the universe, we will be changing our current view on reality.
My 2 pennies Snook....if somebody asks you too personal of a question, just let them know that you think that is too personal of a question and you would rather not answer it.
I like your take on this subject....the understanding of how and why a relationship takes that course. With your assessment, it makes me wonder why they would remain married? But, I suppose the reason for that would be unique to each and every marriage. Thank you for the additional information to consider.
Yes....that would be a huge danger. Now, I never said I was going to partake in anything....lol. It was just an innocent hypothetical question that happen to cross my mind after some married woman kept winking at me.
I am for single to mingle....even though, being a beautiful woman...it would be tough....but I would stick to my guns.
:)
Thanks for confirming I got it right with Zar. That is what I thought. Sometimes I am not the quickest out there.
Ded....thank you for your post. It looks like we got some for and some strongly against. Maybe Ken is on to something with the nature of our upbringing....or, something like that he started his post out with.
Thank you for the psychological aspect/natural world perspective on this. With your individual situational breakdowns, it seems that all roads lead to a dead end.....or, to nowhere good....for the most part.
Thanks for sharing that more scientific view. It certainly adds a logical look at this situation.
The intention would not be to ruin any marriage. Like I mentioned, it would be okay with everyone...including both of the people in the marriage.
Who knows, it could actually improve their marriage.
But...it is nice to see everyone's points of view. Min, I think addresses what you say. It would be possible that deep feelings could arise and possibly break up a marriage, even if that was not the initial intention.
With that said, I do not think I would partake in a situation like this. She would have to be divorced.
No....not yet anyway. But, I do not think I could bring myself to it. Now, if she got divorced, I could justify doing something like that.
But....
Like Pepps says, it really is a difficult decision when you are put into a real life scenario.
I would guess for a woman it would not be that difficult to turn down. They have been hit on by men all their lives and well-conditioned to situations similar to this. For a man, well...we do not get hit on by women all of our lives. So, when something like this occurs, it is much more difficult for us to know how to appropriately deal with our feelings and emotions. My thought on it anyway.
Pepps....I completely agree with you. At one time I would have been against the idea. However, once you are in that situation and the chemicals in your body begin to react.....it is surely tough to decline.
Min....thank you and you bring up another very good point. There could be a potential of the marriage dissolving, which might lead to hard feelings. I have heard, murder usually occurs over money, drugs, or love triangles.
So, one would need to be concerned about their physical well-being.
RE: What is honesty?
lol Mimi...I got one sitting next to me on my desk. How funny.
