I choose what I do and what I will accept in my life. I have a long standing marriage and the one time that an extramarital affair entered into it, I refused to accept this and demanded that a choice be made. If the marriage was chosen then there would be no extramarital affair, if that happened again it would mean the end of the marriage. Hubby chose the marriage, he said he didn't want to be
as poor as a divorce would leave him. Not very romantic, but for whatever his reasons were he has stuck with the agreement. For me it was never an issue, I gave my vow and if at anytime I thought I couldn't kleep it I would have asked for a divorce before I had an extramarital affair. Keeping my word has always been very important to me, there is not much that I can control in life but my word
is very close.

It is a good thing to make true to the words that we have given someone. That makes us trustworthy and worth believing at all times. Broken marriages are never fine with me. Moreso, if the married couple already has a child or two of their own.
No child would welcome the idea of growing up with parents who are living apart. In fact, even the children who are already adults and have families of their own, will consider it very hurting if the parents break up and go their separate ways.
It is always best that couples should be sure that they really mean to be married for life if they embark on such an occasion. May people start to be responsible for the more crucial things/matters that they embark into in life.
I salute your husband for having decided to keep your marriage going. My husband happens to be the demon of a guy. So very womanizing. However he may reap the fruits of his doings, I have the least inkling of an idea.

Marriage is part of life, I know it but it is not as that we can't live without it. As of me till now I will not marry any lady util I don't get successful in my life. That is my thinking and when I would I will marry with a girl who is loyal to me.
Talking about the extramarital affair, I don't think any one gets into it if he/she loves his/her partner truly. It is just about the understanding between the couples.
Coming to my answer I will never support this attitude towards life.

I will never understand why married people indulge in extramarital affairs if they are married well and good. I will never understand why men will not hold their horses when tempting women come their way. In fact, most guys will look after a woman they will make out with though they are already committed to their wives and their wives are still very much active.
Never did I ever indulge in such affairs. I have had my good share of suitors after i got married. I never gave in to any offer. My marriage has long been broken. I now recognize it for a fact that our situation is beyond reconciliation. But until now, I cannot consider having another one in my life. But maybe, if the right man comes along at a time when i am in my ripe old age, i will consider someone for companionship. I am much too old now otherwise.
I know that my moral values are ingrained in my lineage. So it will always be difficult to entertain the idea even if just in my thoughts. Now, it has been fortified so well by my religious values. Chances that i take it to be an acceptable thing has been reduced to zero since then.

Marriage is normal in life. Not necessarily a fact of life anymore. And an extramarital affair is never an okay part of life. It is an extremely excruciating thing to have happen in a marriage. If people are going to be having affairs they shouldn't be getting married.

Sorry but I don't subscribe to this stuff. I believe marriage is a solem vow and sacred relationship. Some may not end in blissful life but it is not the case always. Many people's happiest moments are spent inside a marriage so I think it is a gift of happiness, a source and hope for blissful life. Extra marital affair is what makes marriage horrible and terrible and it should be condemned.

Marriage was a part of life. Was because not anymore. Nowadays people don't see it that way and would rather see it as a choice in life. Extramarital affair is indeed a fact but it's something that we can avoid.
I was born in the late 70s, and during the 80s i thought the same about marriage. It's a part of life. But now when i talk to my single friends, they don't see it that way. Most of them would rather enjoy being single.

I cannot speak for others and can only put forth my own feelings about extra-marital affairs. It will not be accepted by me and or is it part of my life.
I am a very loyal and loving person and expect the equal amount given to me. If this were to happen to me, I would firmly end the relationship. I have not once considered having an extramarital affair and would expect that the person who says they love me to not inflict this kind of pain.
So in answer to your question, no I do not support this as an attitude of life. Life with a partner whom I love must have full trust.
