Infidelity

[Stoked]

That's a curious implication to make.

And yet one you have not denied. (so far)

I do believe One Brow just implied that he and his wife are now swingers.

That's a curious implication to make.

If memory serves me correctly (and it usually doesn't), I think you mentioned that at one point in time you were, but not currently?

It's part of the price we pay for maintaining the patriarchy. Overall, men benefit to a much greater degree.

Can we contain the patriarchy talk to the other thread?

You mean, because the implication is so horrendous, I would feel the need to deny it immediately if it were not true?

If you really care to know, ask.

We were never swingers, which involves, at a minimum, both of us to be roughly together during the carnal activities. We did briefly have an open marriage.

I don't know. Can we contain men complaining about how picked on they are to the other thread?

My brother-in-law recently found out that his wife has been cheating on him. His wife is a nurse and apparently she's been seeing a doctor on the side for 4 years.

At this point my brother-in-law has decided not to seek a divorce - mainly because he has 3 children and they're all under 10 years old.

I have to question whether or not this is the right move, sometimes keeping a toxic marraige together is worse than a divorce.

How would you folks handle it? I know personally I'd divorce her, even if I was in his situation; but I can tell you he's not doing it out of weakness - he's a better man than me. Because of issues many years ago with his father, he was homeless for a short time in his early 20's and has gone from literally nothing to being an IT Executive for a major communications company.

It bears mentioning that she didn't confess to the affair. He accidentally found out from his sister in law - his wife didn't confess until he confronted her.

So your sister is cheating on him? His wife would be your sister, correct?

That is what I thought too but it turns out that it is his wife's brother's wife. I hope that makes sense.

Being able to father their kids in their own home is priceless.

Ah, I see. I guess there is a distinction there I hadn't considered.

I would go around banging bitches then probably burn all of her clothes.

Were men complaining about how they are picked on in the other thread?
