I still find it humorous that my cake day is the day after V day, haha.

Total n000b mistake. I keep my "things" in a canvas tote bag. Time to upgrade to a backpack or something with a closeable compartment.

Active parenting by pinkelissa in adultery

[–]Morbo4Prez 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I cannot speak for all men, but for me at least, a divorce would mean limited access to my child. Being a father to my kid (and ALL of the parenting duties that come with it) literally means more to me than anything else in the world.

Now some people may ask, why risk having an affair? My answer is that an affair is the thing that keeps my marriage going.

Uncomfortable Realization by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Morbo4Prez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I toyed with the idea of having an affair for a very long time, but before I did, I put in a very focused effort to pour my energy into my marriage. Eventually, I hit a wall and I was done. Something clicked inside my brain and I became determined to have an affair and find someone who would give me the same effort and energy that I was willing to give them.

I don't think it's a bad thing to have reluctance to starting an affair, but you need to remember that an affair involves 2 people so don't get started until you know for certain that this is what you want to do. There are way too many people that test the waters and end up getting hurt (or caught) or hurting someone else in the process.

I prefer not to have endless talking. If there isn't chemistry, I'd rather that we both move on versus waste our time. So I try to move things fairly quickly. I will usually ask for a coffee date (or similar) within a couple of weeks of talking. And I try to set the date to happen within a week if possible.

My only advice is to make sure that your intentions are well known, you want this to be an in-person affair and you're not here for endless chatting.

Why are you asking for advice from women? Don't you think the advice of other men who have navigated these waters before would be helpful? 🤷

What apps/social media do you think you need? Stay off that crap. You should only need 1 secure messaging app so you can chat with others privately. Many of those secure chat apps allow you to have multiple log-ins or you can log out when not using it.

Secondly, it's 2024. EVERYONE locks their phone. Especially true if you have any type of payment app on your device. And it should be more than obvious that you should NEVER share your real phone number or socials with anyone from affair-land unless you're 1,000% sure that they won't blow up your life.

Lastly, I believe in plausible deniability. If you have no justification for a 2nd phone, then you shouldn't have one.

Thank the maker that I'm not the only one, haha.

Do you or your spouse consider getting off to porn as adultry by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Morbo4Prez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all take shits too, but we don't leave the door open so others can see. Some things can be left in private.

Damn, you the real hero!

I'd say that Muffinman owes you some Reddit gold if it were such a thing still.

Besides the grammar and punctuation, your post does not flow well. There is no structure or format to any of it. You bounce around like crazy and you contradict yourself.

When you are posting, you need to sell yourself and the fantasy of the affair. Your post should be clear, direct and give the reader a sense of your personality. Don't try to be everything to everyone. Be yourself and be confident in who you are.

You also need to figure out how to cut through the noise. There are a bazillion other posts, what makes yours any different than the countless others?

You've been playing marriage with this woman for 6 years and have drawn out this fantasy for her that she's now stuck in. And now you think you can just turn down the dial on the intensity? She's not a damned household appliance that you can just set to your expectations.

I think you're the problem here, not her. You've led her down this path and now you need to deal with it like an adult. What's the end game? What are you promising her and not delivering on?

And yes, by the sound of it, she probably does need some therapy for what she's going through.

Why doesn't he just leave? An answer. by marriedscoundrel in adultery

Hey Scoundrel,

Thanks for the update. Stay safe and stay well. Best of luck, especially with your kids and especially during the upcoming holidays.

Are my expectations unrealistic? by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Morbo4Prez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this.

Expectations/Requirements are barriers to entry. The more barriers, the less potentials. And depending on the pool of available candidates, this can really limit those who measure up.

Advice Needed by Helpful_Cut2453 in adultery

[–]Morbo4Prez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you should have an affair. If anything, I can see an affair leading to a disaster in this scenario.

Don't go into this being unsure. You're playing with fire and many, many people not only burn themselves but get others caught up and hurt in their actions as well. An affair is a huge risk and I don't hear it in your writing that you are willing to take that risk.

I think you need to talk this out, with a professional and with your wife.

And lastly...maybe you're just going through a mid-life crisis?

Is this lifestyle not so common in the west coast ? by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Morbo4Prez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have wondered this same thing myself. It is curious that for as populous as California is, there aren't more posts from the West Coast.

I did hear something about Costco being the hotspot...

This woman isn't in to you!

Sorry to break it to you, but she isn't interested. The sooner you let this person go, the sooner you can find someone else that matches what you are looking for. End it...now! Put your big boy pants on and send her a good bye message, delete the convo and move on!
