    It's ok man, it's not that big of a deal. He is a poetic kind of guy but I don't think it's necessary to be upset at him for it.

    The Bible does say;
    (Proverbs 18:22) Has one found a [good] wife? One has found a good thing, and one gets goodwill from Jehovah.

    (Proverbs 31:10) A capable wife who can find? Her value is far more than that of corals.

    Which would seem to indicate that a woman like you may be a rare find.
    And the Scriptures do not preclude the idea that a good capable husband may also be a rare find. ;)

    The way may be straight and narrow but the door does open. These are the laborers of the harvest.

    I've always been conservative minded concerning relationships and I always felt ready for a committed relationship. It's just difficult to find another that feels the same way, and I've tried :toetap05:. It just seems most people don't place this kind of value on relationships and it has always pained me to see. Why would people not want this? I never understood.

    It is not that they do not want this but that they confuse commitment to relationship with conformity to form. If it's not warm and fuzzy to them, it does not represent love or commitment. All problems we face are "authority" problems. Principalities and powers.

    mhmmm, I agree. People tend to play games with each other and one of them is that authority that you mention. Also, people tend to confuse love for sex. Everyone seems to think that it's just chemicals in the brain and nothing more. Most don't recognize supernatural love as being real

    We are all entitled to our opinions of course. But I have found that it is best to allow people to be who they are... we can always offer each other counsel, but beyond that it's best to let it be.

    Most don't realize that it's minds that join, bodies touch.

    If somebody calls you a dick, it makes a huge difference to you whether you consider him a friend or an enemy. It is the way you conceive of a person that makes him what he represents to you.

    In the first post on this I said that it would sound out of character.

    I don't hate anybody. What I'm referring to is a matter of trust.

    Six years ago the MAYO clinic released the results from a long term study of 1000 women over five years. They filled out an anonymous questionnaire each month.

    In their conclusions 92% of them were unfaithful. Nearly all of those didn't even tell their best friends about it. They conjecture that this is because of the stigma that society puts on the act.

    They went on to say that women don't seek an extramarital relationship, but that they are weak when the right man approaches them. And they give in. Usually having to do with pheromones.

    They went on to say that women keep two types of men in their lives. To paraphrase, one for money, and the other for sex. They tend not to have sex with their mates when they are fertile, and try to avoid sex with their mates in general.

    One of the conclusions was that, based on this study, most folks really have no idea who their real father is. :) And that's just one of studies I've read.

    It's been years. So finding the study again is proving to be difficult. I'll keep looking but until then remember this..... I prolly am a prick, but I'm not a liar.

    OK, I understand it probably comes from a study. But my problem is being thrown in with the rest of the bunch. I have never been unfaithful and I didn't marry my partner for money (we are pretty much penniless) or for sex but for love. Good old love. All women are not the same. :(

    In any generalization, that is always the case. And I accept that.

    But my original premise is based on the general, or mean sample. And it is quite striking. Especiall since I always heard that men were the culprit. And as I grew up it became obvious that I, and all the men that I knew, were not cavorting. In fact, the opposite was true.

    Men, in general, don't cheat. Not just in sexual matters, but in most things. Men, in general, have a high moral standard when it comes to trust. If they know something sensitive about a friend and then have a life changing argument or even a down right physical fight, they in general, still won't compromise that trust.

    I can't count how many of my friends were arrested for a little pot or some other discretion because that trust was violated by THEIR WOMAN after a simple argument. Pretty much a given that they will do that.

    And, in my experience, when it's time to leave, they line up the next one before they loose the current one. And it always seems to be the woman who violates the sexual trust. When I was younger, I was a pretty strapping guy. I got hit on by my friends wives, my brothers wives and even my fathers wife.

    Wudda you do? Tell him? Keep it quiet?
