SAH/WOH--extramarital affairs

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.

Because you fail to understand does not equate me contradicting myself. I have not. You have. You are wrong in saying that my arguments are all over the place, you are wrong to say that labels don't define, to say that you haven't labelled.

As I said - show me where and I'll clarify - again.

But selfishness is not, by definition, immoral.

So what? Talk about detracting from the point.

Well, duh. We all carry a multitude of labels, and none of them in and of themselves define us or our character. You are acting like having a label defines the sum of a person, and it doesn't, and that is what Hollie and I are debating.


You claim that cheating is a human action, not a character flaw, but then turn around and say that being flawed is what makes us human. That Hollie and I aren't trying to sugar-coat flaws under the guise of humanity doesn't change the fact that it's the flaw which allows the human to cheat.


Like I've already said - we are all flawed in our own way. And people that cheat are flawed in that way.

I wouldn't label them the way ikorky is labeling them. In her world apparently, everyone is only one thing.

You'll have to support your contention better than that.

The label itself can have a negative or positive connotation ... but "being labeled" is not a negative.

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.
