How much fidelity do you think is acceptable in a relationship?

[Deja Q]

1. Total fidelity unless otherwise agreed.

Cheating is definitely the end of a relationship IMO.

2. To those in an open relationship:

You are sick and horrible and would you be willing to consider me for a date? :7

3. As much as the two individuals involved desire.....I've been

monogamous 17 years. If, through a fluke, I was unfaithful I would admit it immediately. I can't lie to my guy-total honesty has always been our center. I would be forgiven.

Should I discover he had cheated and not told me I would be shocked and hurt. I would forgive him though, because I can't imagine life without him.

If it became a serial set of affairs, I might start looking around myself but I would never end my relationship over the issue of fidelity.

Happily, neither of us has the time, the inclination or the energy to chase anyone else. And if we ever caught anyone (I have one common friend in mind), we've agreed in advance to share.

4. Cheating is *grounds* for divorce

That doesn't mean divorce is the only option.

Just sayin'.
