"Men are like that? They will, at least once in their lifetimes, consider becoming unfaithful to their spouse. It's like that. You'll just have to accept it!" - like hell I will!

I wasn't totally in agreement when a well-meaning relative spoke of this issue - it's ok for men to be unfaithful and not OK for women to be unfaithful. In fact, according to some elderly (much as I respect them, I don't always agree with them), women are not even supposed to leave their homes unless it's with their kids or husbands. What century are we living in anyway?

I mean, I know of a friend (hope friend does not read this post) who started going to Yoga classes a couple of weeks ago. Ended up, she came home with more than just a sprained ankle. She took home a fellow student and they snogged. No sex, just snogged. Is that wrong? I mean, she hopes that her partner won't find out about it and all...but is it wrong to snog someone when you're not legally attached to anyone?

Let's look at it this way, she felt guilty but at the same time, she felt deeply appreciated and extremely flattered that someone took to her. She would've loved to dive under the covers, into the pants of this man, but the fact remains is that she didn't.

If men were given the chance, do you want to place a bet with me on whether he would or would not?
