Have you been faithful?
 

There are lots of people at Pixies who seem to be in really great relationships and I can't imagine many of you lovely people cheating (by which I mean having a sexual/romantic relationship with someone besides your partner without your partner's knowledge and/or consent - open relationships/swinging don't count, in my book)

Having said that, when you look at the wider society, it seems that at some point or other, pretty much everyone seems to have cheated while in a major relationship, so, what I want to know (in poll form so it's totally anonymous) is how many people have cheated on their partner/spouse?

This isn't about the rights and wrongs of it and I don't expect people to post their confessions, just an honest answer in the poll will do. Just trying to see how many people really manage to stay faithful to try to gauge what our chances are as a couple. Seems to me, that if most people don't manage it, then it's an near impossible goal to live up to.

Oh and you can tick all that apply to you. :D

OK - So I will weigh in on this in public, too. Mr Osuche and I are monogamous. We've been married for 2.5 years, and I've been a good, good girl....although not without some temptations.

I've managed to muddle through and I intend to keep muddling, though.

Never cheated on my wife and never expect too. Today's the 47th anniversary of the day we met and next month we'll celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary. I think we're going to make it. :)

I guess I know when I've got a good thing. :boink:

Never cheated, been very tempted and came close but stayed faithful in the end.

I think another question is what do you consider cheating. I used to be friends with one couple who considered flirting cheating, where as I think anything short of sexual contact without your partners consent cheating.

Not this time around.

I never physically cheated. I did emotionally cheat. I think that is just as wrong and will never allow myself to that again. Even though, I'm incredibly happy with the outcome.

I have never cheated on my husband. Fidelity is very important to us as we met when i was still married and in an abusive relationship. He is my soulmate and love of my life.. i know icky icky love :loveshowe

Cheated? No. But I'm polyamorous. Big difference.

:blink:

I haven't cheated on my CURRENT partner.......but I have cheated on guys WITH my current partner.

And I have cheated in the past...but I stick by my "excuse", cheating is a state of the heart, not the body. I didn't cheat because I was horny, I cheated because I was unhappy or unappreciated.

The way things are in my relationship right now, I would NEVER cheat on my boyfriend and I only see him about 6 days a month. Imagine how hard that is.

Thanks fr the honest responses everyone! So it looks like we're a fairly faithful bunch....more of us have been unfaithful in the past than with our current partners....I wonder if that means we're all with the right people now, or whether it's a matter of time....the thing is, no-one really knows what's around the corner, so no-one can answer that question. A lot of us only tend to know we're with the wrong person, when someone else comes along and shows us how much more there is to life....

As you can see, Motherhood is making me contemplate fidelity in relationships in a way I never thought about before....

Nope I have never cheated on any of my partners current or past. Whats the point really your only going to get found out in the end.
If your really considering cheating then personally I think you shouldn't be with your partner but that's my opinion

I have to disagree. I've never been found out.

34 years and still counting I have never cheated ,but I have come close and had to stop and think about it.And I havent made the wrong choice yet .Maybe someday we will catch up to DB!

I've been married for 14 years. Never once even had a serious opportunity to cheat- until recently. I am seriously considering getting a new job to get out of a dangerous, tempting situation.
