You are absolutely right.
Thank you.
That's actually a convo me and my wife sometimes have. She is aware that I have female friends but she always tries to remind me not to let them cross boundaries that I would not want a man crossing with her.
Even if that means something as simple as calling me for video chats or other more serious things.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Its good you're being honest with your wife about your feelings.
About your female friends - look, but don't touch.
At the same time I try to make my wife aware that I am capable of feeling all the same emotions she does. I may not express or show my emotions as much. I'm a fairly typical man. But I still have them. So treat me good woman!!! Lol.
But, at the same time, regardless if she's 'treating you good' is no where close to being an excuse to cheat. Period. Are you 'treating her good? [rhetorical question]
Its not uncommon for marriages to go through rough patches sometimes lasting months or even a year. They suck, but that's what every husband signed up for when you said "I Do."
Never heard of any marriage vows that one spouse promised eternal happiness, but they all say 'in sickness and in health' which doesn't just mean your physical bodies but your relationship. I've never heard of a wife who cheated on her husband because he was taking too many trips to the hospital.
Anyway, I'm gonna be busy for the rest of tonight and tomorrow so this is the last post to you so let me say this one last thing...
Every piece of shit man or woman I know are cheaters. Every recovering piece of shit I know have a long road to becoming what they once were, and deeply regretted their mistake of cheating in the first place.
Each and every one. No exceptions.
Oh, and somewhat off-topic but related, open relationships and marriages never work out. I've known eight couples who've tried, and each broke up within 3 months to 2 years.
