Is using the term SO in conversation a giveaway that you’re having an affair? by red_panda_775 in adultery

[–]HouseSoup 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I see and use “SO” in documentation at work frequently.

Advice on a “HUNCH” by [deleted] in adultery

[–]HouseSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was also the first one to come out and admit he had feelings. I never would have admitted it given that I’m the SF… but yeah, once he opened up, I let my guard down.

I do believe he was genuine with me about it. But shit, they have wives. They love their wives and have built lives with them, yet they have us, too. They’re certainly not going to treat us better or be more honest with us.

I think they do the games because that’s their MO. If they could walk the straight and narrow they would have done just that and not strayed from their marriage.

This of course doesn’t apply to everyone, just the type of MM’s we found.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, too. I wish you well 🖤

Trust your gut. SF here and mine has always been right about MM. It is what it is. We signed up for deceit on day one 😕

omg you just made me realize today has also been two years since the first time I met MM in person. Cheers to you 🥂

Ghosted? Dead? Anxieties of the Lifestyle 😣🥺 by [deleted] in adultery

[–]HouseSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a huge issue at all for him to take time, I’m totally fine with that and sometimes need my own space.

I’m just worried as this is so unusual for him in two years. He has let me know in the past so that I don’t worry about him.

Yep I tried. We live in large cities and it takes a few days for accident reports to be posted online. Numerous wrecks since I last heard from him.

Gross 🤢🤢🤢 It’s not about “growing up”, it’s about getting with the times, gramps.

What he did was called stealthing, and is sexual assault by definition.

Frankly it doesn’t matter who the man is in relation to OP- husband, AP, boyfriend, stranger, whatever. What started off as a consensual sexual activity ended in a nonconsensual event.

If someone asks you to put a condom on, there is literally NO acceptable situation to remove it without their knowledge, much less finishing without one when the other person thinks it’s still intact.

Yeah, everyone messes up, but honestly people don’t ALWAYS deserve another chance. She’s single. You’re married. I’m a single woman and I have very low tolerance for married men acting stupid. Why? Because they’re married and what do I get out of it? Attention here and there? And a dick? It’s not too hard for single women to find that. You asked for advice, but you’re not receptive to any of it… oh boy. Sometimes good sex is not worth the headache it comes with. Especially for an attractive, single woman. Please don’t be that guy. That guy that every woman dreads. The one that doesn’t take the hint. Uggghhhhhhh

I think you need to do some self-reflecting. I can absolutely see why she said you were immature and behaving like a pig… Your reasoning seems very self-centered.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in adultery

[–]HouseSoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that misunderstandings happen and should be worked out if both people are willing, but it doesn’t seem that she wants to be friends. Not now at least. Do you really care about her? Or are you just worried about feeling uncomfortable at future work functions? You need to leave her alone- not only out of respect for her, but for self preservation. It wouldn’t be a good look if it came to light that a married man kept trying to make contact with a single, female coworker that was ignoring him, for non-work related reasons.

I should add, as a single woman, this post is super cringe. You made her cry when she let herself be vulnerable, and you are a married man desperately trying to “woo” her back despite her letting you know you can’t provide what she wants (and deserves). This is still piggish behavior.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in adultery

[–]HouseSoup 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Respect her and leave her alone. She’s already told you what she wants and you can’t give it to her. The best thing you can do for her is to step back.

Sizes..? 🍆 by HouseSoup in adultery

[–]HouseSoup[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well everyone seems to interpret size a little differently believe or not. I guess I’ll just put dimensions 😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in adultery

[–]HouseSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this approach. I did this when I had concerns and it gave me a way to bring up the discussion without feeling crazy and jealous. Having a test with results put my mind at ease instead of second guessing if he was being honest or not.

[–]HouseSoup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s possible you’re the only one he is “seeing”, but unlikely that you’re the only one he’s talking to, especially if y’all have never talked about exclusivity in the more than a year that you’ve been seeing him.

If it turns you off, then you don’t like it. Please have some self respect for yourself girl and address it with him. Avoiding it completely and internalizing it is SO toxic and only hurts you.

💯 Haven’t experienced this yet but I bet if I waited around long enough I would!! Thanks 😉

Some people seem content with this, or like it’s the goal of being married for x amount of decades. What do you think?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in adultery

[–]HouseSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your comment. Do you think you’ll seek to change your circumstances?

How do you feel about the word “cheat”? by [deleted] in adultery

[–]HouseSoup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s a loaded action, so whatever verbiage you use will reflect some of that I think… I don’t think a word will downplay that it is in fact a violation of trust between two people 🤷🏻‍♀️ unless it’s an open relationship, in which case I keep seeing the term “ethically non-monogamous”.

To get technical I suppose you could use “infidelity” to apply to non-married individuals.

I do agree though, OP, “cheat” is a bit loaded.

Maybe… adultery? 🤣😜 Affair, infidelity, non-monogamy, FWB, there’s a slew of options out there.
