An Elicit Affair

Philippines
November 16, 2010 11:42pm CST
You are young, have biological needs and longings, and you are married,too, to someone your age.But thing is you are not happy with him/her. Then, there is an opportunity to have that intimate relationship with someone who is also married. He/She can give you what you want, an intimate relationship without string attached,would you dare get into such relationship?

If I can find a woman who is like that then what a bliss. But then again, as you mentioned in one of your posts it's tempting fate. I have not done it actually, but I'm sure this kind of arrangement is nothing new and I wouldn't be surprised if people are doing it already but that's their lives and they can do whatever they want with it. To be honest, having an illicit affair is one of my fantasies . Just imagine making love to different women and keeping everything from my clueless wife. But having fantasies is one thing and making it come true is another. I wouldn't say that I would forever remain faithful but I'm not yet moving nor do I have plans of moving in that direction. Having an illicit affair, even if there's no strings attached, is just like putting a rope in your neck and feel it tighten little by little before the big jump.

Why is it that most men in my circle , wish to have an illicit affair? Just awhile ago, I wanted to punch my boyfriend because he wanted to have an explicit affair as well, and for what? Just to give it a try! Jesus.... I admire your honesty, Ybong. Hah! Your wife must see this.. Not to scare the hell out of you or to make her jealous but as a proof that his husband has remained faithful to her all these years and wise enough to not to dare make his fantasy comes to reality.:) Sigh.... lucky woman (for now).

Very well said. Just full of manly insights. :) But I wonder what could be the reason for you to look somewhere else?

One reason that i can think of is the lack of attraction to my better half.

No, i mean it is not the solution at all. If you are not satisfied to each other, then end that marriage before any worst thing will happen. Simple as that, as long as you are committeed to somone right now, please forbid yourself from such affair, that is not the solution. Thank you for a nice topic my friend and happy mylotting. :-):-)

Hello my friend, oh yes it has been few months from now that I was not able to hear from you, I guess it was about your last topic, a bit connected to this one.. I just hope that you are doing just fine now... you know what, the only key to this is being strong! My aunt also is separated to his husband now, but she is strong enough! You can make this, i know that! and I know you are strong! Oh sorry for the reposts, oh yes, it was my browser... I am really sorry. Happy mylotting.

Don't be sorry, my dear. I fully understand.:) Hey, thanks for believing and having faith in me. I am trying my best to be strong, though and I can say that I am doing a great job. Sorry to hear about your Aunt or must I say, I'm happy for your Aunt? Anyways, there's always something to start anew no matter how badly broken we are. Who knows , someday, I'll be singing a different tune.LOL Great day to you as well, Prime.:)

Hi, Prime.:) It has been awhile since the last time I saw you. I hope things are well with you.:) Yup, I do agree. Being unhappily married is not good reason enough to have an illicit affair. It will never solve the problem and will never do magic in the shaky relationship. I am conservative and I don;t have a stomach to do it, dear. Don't worry, i'm still sane to know what is moral and right.:) Have a great day always.... And oh, I'll just ignore your other responses here (they are just a repost). Got a problem with your connection, ei?

i second the motion. this is not the solution to a bad marriage problem. it will only make the mess even bigger and harder to deal with ... it's either save the marriage by whatever means it's gonna take, or, leave it. and fall in love again with someone who's not married.

Hi, Kquiming. What I mean here is ILLICIT (FORBIDDEN) rather than ELICIT. My apology for the confusion. I'm glad to hear that as young as you are, you have the right mindset. I do agree that making things more complicated isn't the solution to the problem. Better end the messy relationship first then, start anew with a clean slate.:)

It's definitely not the proper way to resolve a problem. You maybe getting through tough times of your marriage, but what if the other is not? Do you want someone to be in pain just like what you're having now? You know how it feels, don't let someone suffer the same. It must be only temptation for both of you. He might see you in your weakest mood, and you see him to be your savior in such situation. But try to look farther and consider the aftermath of the consequences. This is just an opinion.

Of course I know you're a decent person. You're still holding on the right track. I can feel that you have good values. How I came to feel that? Because temptation is just in your reach, but still you're able to manage to think right. Solicit advices before giving into something. And that makes you a smart person. Despite the hardship you're going through and temptations are there, still you don't let it ruin you.

Thank you for boosting my morale and self esteem, dear. For awhile there , I thought I am becoming a martyr and hate myself for not being a dare devil sometimes. :( I'll remember your response here, SimpleBB., that everytime I want to give up and go wayward, I'll remember that there's someone who, even a complete stranger, is believing and trusting me.

A very wise opinion ,my dear.:) A mistake will never be right by another mistake. Tis indeed not the solution to the problem but rather it will bring forth more complications than solutions...:) No, dear. I would not wish to be the cause of misery and ruin of another family nor i'd wish to be a part of such explicit affair. I maybe unhappy, but I'm not that desperate nor that evil.

Hi sweetie. No, whatever the problem should be, this is not the answer at all. 2 people will get hurt. And for what exactly? Rather both of them get divorced then they can play. But you have to be sure that is what you want. TATA.

Hi, Saphy.:) I meant ILLICIT not ELICIT.... Honestly, I don't agree with having an illicit affair too. I maybe unhappy with my marriage but this is not enough reason to compound a mistake with another. Though something forbidden seems so thrilling but I know that the consequence is also great... I'd rather end my marriage first and start anew with a clean slate.:)

Honestly? I cannot tell. I wouldn't know how it feels like to be a married woman who is not contented with her marriage. In the first place, I guess it would be a great responsibility of a woman to choose the one she can offer he life for. As for the present situations that we may hear from people around, discontented women are most likely to engage in illicit affairs. Women needs to be loved, caressed and to be treated as a woman and not a hard shield that would guard off the relationship and take her needs for granted. Anyone would say I DO NOT AGREE WITH IT. I WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ILLICIT AFFAIRS. Who would want to? But I have a question... why women do? They have their reasons. And if maybe, that is the only way I can feel my worth as a woman, I just don't know if I could hold back. Maybe I would it would be able to hold back but it would much of sacrifice. And I wouldn't know if I could still add another sacrifice, not receiving a single drop of love and respect from my spouse. It would be a chain of misery.

Women needs DEEPER reasons to get involve in an illicit affair, unlike men, that sometimes think between their legs.:) Not receiving a single drop of love and respect, is quite a torture, Star.:( I don't have to beg anymore. If he can not give it to me, so be it. I admire your honesty and courage to voice out your opinion about this subject. Heck, your husband is a lucky man to bagged someone like you. If only I can see a little change, I'd sacrifice once more but it seems hopeless.But an illicit affair, I must agree with you is not the right thing to do. It will not resolve anything...

No I wouldn't. If you are not happy with your relationship. Settle it first. Try to communicate what is going wrong. But if it can't be resolved then its time to leave the relationship. It is better if you solve first your real problem before commiting to another solution that will create another problem. You are just making yourself more unhappy if you dare to go into a elicit realtionship while married. Your guilt will pull you down more. I say this because I've been there. And however you say NO STRINGS ATTACHED... in the end all people involved will get hurt.

Innocense, I'll take your word for it. :) I do not believe in further taking things more complicated that they already are. Needless to say, I agree with your opinion. Better to free yourself first from one relationship before jumping to another. If a marriage is already a mistake it is not wise to compound it with another mistake by having an illicit affair. Temporary solutions like this often gives long term if not permanent destruction...

I don't think that giving in to an intimate relationship with another married one would solve the problem. The person is already in a devastating relationship. Why would anyone add a burden to what seems to be a turmoil situation. Being happy can be diverted to another way. Too much complication in life will only make things worst.

I have the same ground as you on this subject, Jules. A mistake can never be right by compounding it with another. For what? An illicit affair can only give a temporary relief but the sad consequence can be long term... sorry for the late reply... Have a great day.:)

Don't give up so quick if you got problem with your partner talk it over and then let him know what you want. Having someone for awhile even with or without strings attach is just messing yourself and the others whose involve. It's never an answer in a relationship to have a comfort men/woman in awhile.

Yup, open communication will do the trick to this kind of situation. And I must agree that a temporary comfort from someone who is also married does not make any sense. It will only make things worse than it already is. Thank you,BabyEj. Have a wonderful day ahead.:)

Of course not. First, it is not a right thing to do. Second, you would hurt your boyfriend, and you will be acused cheating. Third, you would hurt that person's husband/wife. You could be a home-wrecker and ruin their lives. Fourth, you'll find yourself crying in the future when he did to you what he did with his wife/husband.

Everything you said, could be true. I must agre that it is not the right thing to do and you will only get hurt at the end. You are maybe miserable already but it is nonsense to make other people's lives miserable as well. I believe in bad karma and adhere to the golden rule that says: Do unto others what you would want others do unto you.That said, Illicit affair is not for me.:)

Hi eureka! You know the answer to your question...........!!!. You see both the situation you mention is like 'between devil and the deep sea'. Still, I would like to say that if I am in such a situation, I will not choose the second option, come what may because the second option could be a great peril and could be a double edge sword to ruin 'two families'. I will try to fulfill my biological and other needs through other available means, rather than having an intimate relationship with (another) married person. This is purely my opinion and my perception, you do not necessarily have to agree with me.

My common sense and moral self is telling me to agree with you in all aspects about this subject, dear.:) My situation is not new to you. However, I'm not contemplating of having an illicit affair right now, not even in the near future. God may help me... But for the sake of my sanity and those who love me, I will not and I will do my best not to.LOL. I am very much aware of the consequence and there's no use to compound a mistake with another. I already have a lot of things to think of. Another complication is the least I need for now.LOL THank you, dear. :)

No, I can't imagine myself doing something like that. If I were married and not happy then I would do what I could to work things out. If it was impossible then I would just end the marriage. I would think that having an affair would only complicate things and make the situation worse.
• Philippines

I will not doubt that, Sid. :) It is the best thing to do. While you are still very much married to a person, better look at the positive side and work things harder if you must but never try to complicate it with having an equally or more complicated relationship with someone else....worse, someone else's spouse...

No I wouldn't, its not worth all the pain and suffering that will end up happening when the affair ends. I want someone for myself and not sharing with another women. You are just creating bad karma for yourself and in the end of it all he will leave you for yet another woman or to just stay with the wife. Most men who cheat will end up doing the same thing to you once the thrill of it all is gone. If kids are involved it gets even worse. Look at all the people in the news that this has happened to especially the politicians. No even if the temptation is there I would fight it to the bitter end. I always live by "do onto others as you wish them to do too you." Living by this keeps you out of trouble.

Nothing execuses such a deed, an affair is an affair, no matter the reasons are, well instead of cheating , i suppose it's better for the couple to talk about it so straight if they are mature & fearfull enough to keep the bounds of marriage stick. Yes marriage can have such cold intimate time, but each part need to be understandable so the marriage goes on. So in my opinion, if someone loves his partner, he/she will never cheat on him.
• Philippines
19 Nov 10
I absolutely agree with you., Ansio.:) You can not say you love your partner when you are cheating on her/him. They are contradictory to each other and doesn't make sense. If there is a problem in the relationship better to sit down with a partner and talk about getting it solved rather than contemplating of doing something that will only further complicate things...

This is the reason why there are so many desperate housewives out there trying to understand their husbands and what seems to to be wrong with the relationship... I will never understand why some people get married only to have an illicit affair. It doesn't make sense...
