But I've learned that having morals among those who do not just leaves you holding the bag. So you're a moral pillar of greatness. Big whoop.xd40coyote - It's none of my business, but consider this: someone who would betray one lover/spouse would betray another. I consider such "poaching" unforgivable, because the sting of that betrayal is so very nasty. It's extremely hurtful, and encourages dishonest and disreputable habits. So - I'm not an adulterer, not because of moralistic reasons, but for simply practical (and admittedly somewhat selfish) ones. It's how you live with yourself that counts, ultimately.
Cyril Connolly said "there is nothing to compare to the pain that two lovers can inflict upon one another. The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom, for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives." Just so.

I wasn't suggestion seduction and fornication. Sheesh, the conclusions you men jump to.
Objectively look at the situation described. Just table the possibility. That's all. I lay $1,000 that says this guy's wife has been cheating on him for a long time already. there is no harm in a great gal coming along and saying "Hey, I'm better than that, what about me?"
Life is too short to be right all the time.
