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.

Justification doesn't make immoral behavior MORAL. . .it just makes it justifiable.
Having said that. . .I can agree that it

Might be. Might not be. I've seen/heard cases of both.
However, imo, sex should always be for the pleasure of BOTH
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.
Justifiable or not, it doesn't matter to the point I am making,which is that the person committing the immoral act may not be immoral. Yes, we have a set of rules in our society that says certain behaviour is immoral. I am saying that in order for the person committing the act to be deemed immoral (the person, not the behaviour which is immoral), the circumstances must be taken into account.

Um, no. . .in the post I responded to you stated:
"Some excellent examples of why immoral behaviour is not always immoral"
You didn't differentiate between describing behavior as
And I apologize for my poor use of wording. Instead of "Some excellent examples of why immoral behaviour is not always immoral", I should have said why the person engaging in immoral behaviour is not always immoral.

Why, in these discussions, does it so often end up sounding like the marriage vows imply
"you sign up for marriage, you sign up to live with accepting whatever degree of sex your partner is willing to shell out, however insufficient that may turn out to be and however different from what you expected going in"
and never
"you sign up for marriage, you sign up to live providing whatever degree of sex your partner wants, however excessive that may turn out to be and however different from what you expected going in"
Do you really believe that sex related marital problems originate more often becaus one partner UPS the demands, unfairly saddling an unsuspecting spouse with increased demand? Because I'm pretty sure that actually, sex related marital problems originate far more often because one partner DECREASES the output, unfairly saddling an unsuspecting spouse with decreased availablility. Which really begs the question, most often, who is really selfish?
I'd be careful with this. That particular text might be found in the same section of the library as the one that contains this advice : "don't worry girls, for those of you who would like to conceive after age 40, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to do it."
The hormonal changes that occur in men and women as they age, and the related effects on sex drive, simply cannot be dismissed as anything less than very real. No matter how desperately the boomers may wish to cling to an idea of perpetual youth.
And I don't think too many actual people expect to loose it completely by the time they are 65, unless they are currently under 25.
