SAH/WOH--extramarital affairs
| Tue, 02-15-2005 - 12:54pm |
I was just at the gym this morning and overheard a conversation between two women on treadmills who were discussing/debating as to whether married sahms were any more or less likely to have affairs than married wohms.
I thought it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
I brought children into the equation only to make a point. That behaviour does not define the person - child or adult.

And I disagree that one action defines a person's character. To use TM's example that if you lie you are a liar - no, if you lie once - you lied once. It does not mean you are a flawed human being - well no more flawed than any other human being. If you steal once, you are not a thief - you stole once - and maybe you did it b/c you were hungry, cold, etc. You are not flawed as a result. If you have an affair once - you are not an adulterer - you had an affair.
I really don't think we are that far apart in our stance here.

Adultry MAY be selfish, and it may be immoral - depending on your values and the circumstances.
Nick
I have not once said that you claim an adulterer is nothing but flawed. What I am disagreeing with is that he/she IS flawed BECAUSE they had an affair.
Nick
I don't think they truly knew better. If they did, they wouldn't have felt the need to test the boundries. Obviously, they are still trying to internalize the rules.
And you didn't answer my question.
