Marriages evolve. I am proposing that SEX isn’t the biggest part of it. If you get along with your spouse, have children, have assets, have mutual obligations etc… it may NOT be in your best interest to get divorced. If that’s the case, I propose you talk to your wife, let her know that you will be getting sex elsewhere and that DISCRETION is expected on both sides. How hard is that to fucking understand? Nowhere did I say to lie. Nowhere did I say to deceive. [/quote]
I agree 100% with this because of this sentence (emphasis mine), “If that’s the case, I propose you talk to your wife, let her know that you will be getting sex elsewhere and that DISCRETION is expected on both sides.” If you come to some agreement and the marriage is now “open” fine. I’m not against that.
I don’t know if you realize this, but you are pretty unique in that you have said repeatedly you would not lie in this scenario. You would immediately tell your SO you are getting it else where. FWIW I believe you would do that. Nothing you’ve ever written leads me to believe you’re lying now. However, you are int he minority. Most, I’d venture to say the vast majority, of people would lie through their teeth to avoid discovery. HebrewHero didn’t/hasn’t told his wife about the STD he has. These are the type of people I’m referring to in all my responses.
I acknowledge that you’ve said not to deceive.

There may not be an exclusion clause, but it’s certainly something that you can add after the fact of her shutting her legs [/quote]
Really, you can add stipulations to a contract after you sign it? I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think that’s the case.

You can build any scenario you want to strawman me. But that’s not what I’m saying. I am NOT promoting deception. I am NOT putting the onus on a woman to fix anything. I am saying that if she doesn’t want to have sex with you then you can still get laid and keep your marriage. But in order for that to work, you should be discreet. [/quote]
I didn’t build any strawmen. I’m not trying to “trap” you. I’m pointed out what I feel is the hole in your logic.
I get it. Most people do not have the character that you have. Read the OP again and read some of Hebrews other posts. He isn’t going to tell his wife and I’m pretty confident he’d lie his ass off to cover his infidelities.

OBVIOUSLY if it’s good enough for HIM to fuck other people, he should be fine with HER fucking other people. DUHHHHH![/quote]
I think we both know a double standard/stigma exists when it comes to men & women cheating. So while it should be a DUHHHHHH issue it is not.
