My sister,
The statement that I made with regard to the movie "The Brothers" was basically a joke. Although, we would be lying to ourselves, if we didn't atleast admit that probably 50 - 60% of the men in that same situation would have followed through with it, instead of doing what DL did. That is just a fact, and to act like men don't cheat, and WOMEN don't cheat, would be to burry one's head in the sand and act like it doesn't happen.
For the record, I hope and pray that when I am blessed to be married, I will not cheat. I don't think that I will, especially since I have NEVER cheated on a girlfriend in the past. However, none of us can tell the future, and I don't know of very many people who went into a marriage thinking that "yeah, I am going to chill for a few, then I figure around 6 - 7 years into the marraige, after we have had a kid or two, I will start sleeping around.
DST Love,
Sista, don't let my foolish comments deter you from marraige. Marriage is a wonderfull institution, that is rewarding and fufilling for most of the people who engage in it. I am silly, and will continue to be so. Well unless you marry me, and make an honest man of me.

Thank you for your response!! I knew you were joking (somewhat
) and I am also very aware of reality. I'm not really that turned off from marriage but sometimes... Anyway, my boyfriend (of several years) and I are discussing marriage. So I guess the more I learn about men and life, the more unsure I feel.
If you really have never cheated on a girlfriend, then you really are something special. I too have never cheated on anyone. I don't put myself in the situation of even contemplating it. Or I'd rather leave first if I thought I really needed to be with anyone else.
But as far as the movie, "The Brothers", I did think it was stupid how DL's wife was acting. I mean, they're husband and wife for pete's sake. So I can get why he contemplated it for a minute, although he should have never put himself in that situation. I don't think it was so much the act itself but that he felt like she wanted everything to be about her and never about him. And especially since he married her because she was pregnant.
Anyway, I know that there are a few (very few) good men out there. You sound like you are one and I believe I have one. By the way, I guarantee you I would definitely make an honest man out of you!! If you were to be so lucky
