Please explain this statement.

Are you suggesting Atheists have no morals and are incapable of having decent relationships or feeling love like any other human being?

Awaiting your answer!

I agree totally. While some might think give him another chance and others think get rid, it is how she thinks that matters. If she cannot get over his 'infidelity' then there is no point in taking things further, it will never work. Maybe she is the jealous type and so he thought he could not tell her he had a lady friend for fear of her reaction, if this is so, and she will never change, then surely they cannot carry on their relationship, however sad this may be, you have to have some trust. If they were having sex however, after only 6 months of marriage, things are doomed. Normally you would still be in the honeymoon period then and things are still lovey dovey. I have male friends, my husband has female friends, it's not a problem, anyway, he knows that if anything went on between them I would f**king kill him!

What amazes me more is the 20yo making love to the 57yo...
Even if that didn't happen, imagine a 20yo hangin' around with a 57yo...Unless he is the owner of an adult publication...

I know this might seem a bit harsh, but I think that sometimes when couples live together before they get married, if the relationship starts to flag instead of seriously thinking about and then perhaps separating they get married in the hope it will 'revive' things. Could that be something that happened here?

Trust is easy to destroy and very, very hard to rebuild - it can take ages and sometimes never is rebuilt. It's a very personal thing - does she even want to try? Trial separation, IMHO never work..... we are human and we start to adapt (even if we don't realilse) as soon as the other person walks out the door.

Loving someone - doesn't mean that you have to 'need' them or build your life around them to the point that you can't be independent - a relationship should surely be about mutual respect, trust and partnership? Ah, there's the trust word again....... dilemma for sure.


i loved that post... there is something so meaning full inside it not only in relationships

with pleasure

a religious man sometimes may stop having an affair because he have some written instructions that orders him not to do so.

an atheist within marriage (which i really don't see the point of it in his case) have nothing written that orders him not to do it.

based on those two facts

if a religious man starts an affair outside marrige.. there is a chance that he regret and follow his book again.

if an atheist man starts an affair because he like it ... love alone may not be enough for him to stop this attitude and remember love is not something written or that valuable.... it if was .... why did he started the affair originally..

whereas.... written instructions in holy books are sometimes more important to the followers than their own life.

i hope it is clear now i never meant anything bad.

it was just a talk about the number of important things that contributes toward the behavior of a human ..which are more in the case of a religious man.

or maybe very rich.. or maybe she is not that pretty

So you are suggesting the only reason religious people get married and stay faithful is because they have a book telling to so? Is that the only basis for their morality...a book? What if they have the wrong book? What would be the right book? Who decides that?

I know many married Atheists...you're quite wrong in your judgment of Atheists I think...but I understand why. You have a book that teaches you Atheists are completely evil and without morals. Even if you never met an Atheist you would believe this no?

So the only reason religious people behave ethically is because they have a book that tells them what to do....

I find that completely insulting and also untrue. You are suggesting that Atheists do not place value on love. Do you know that Atheists have a lower rate of divorce than religious people in countries where statistics are available like the USA?

Yes like when they have crusades and jihads against each other because they have different books and must kill each other to prove who is right.. Or when they will not tolerate other humans simply because of what they believe or don't believe...when they tell other people how to life their life or give non-believers less human rights?

Perhaps you did not but you have insulted millions of non-religious people around the world who are decent, kind and loving human beings...people like Warren Buffett (who has given more than $37billion to charity), Bill Gates (who has given more than $30billion to charity)...they are motivated to make the world better themselves rather than wait for some invisible god no one can see or hear to do something.

A human being does not need religion to behave well.

If you don't believe in the supernatural and the afterlife you have to make sure you live this life well because there is no second chance...

i advice you to read my post again. but this time slowly and without anger. we are talking here about having an affair no need for you to take us to other stuff that are irrelevant to the topic.


i can answer back ... but i feel you was not objectively in your answer back.

I thought the female friend didn't know he was married, so really she wouldn't have betrayed my trust. If that is true then she must feel just as bad as the wife. The husband is the guilty party.

but don't you think that he may argue that it is not forbiden by law to sleep with a woman outside marrige?

why do you think he is making a big fault to feel like killing him if he didn't break the law?

is there any law in Uk that states this as a crime/mistake/sin whatever?

which is a problem .. because then... the wife may think the same!! and may starts having a secret lover for the same argument ...
