In it, our own base instincts are revealed, which prove to be pretty childish. In my own life, I am least proud of the things I stooped to at the end of a relationship.Comrade Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393718048145784837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-15838587919202901982009-05-09T14:28:00.000-04:002009-05-09T14:28:00.000-04:00On a desert island, it would be.

Either that or you have no idea how to attract or approach another person and the only one who has hit on you is married. <br /><br />Either way, I don't think pathetic is an unreasonable charictarization.Chalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-70075904515485634072009-05-09T13:57:00.000-04:002009-05-09T13:57:00.000-04:00To the extent 3 is the product of self delusion, i...To the extent 3 is the product of self delusion, it is pathetic.

I honestly believe his marriage is (nearly) over. (For long-term adultery)<br /><br />4. I just want to have sex with someone attractive and he is nearest. (For short-term adultery)<br /><br />Obviously, all of these require that one not believe that one owes anything to the wife, which, if you don't have communitarian instincts and don't know her at all, is a rational stance.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-82722324668454048602009-05-08T21:22:00.000-04:002009-05-08T21:22:00.000-04:00FWIW, I did know that she did not become Jackie O ...FWIW, I did know that she did not become Jackie O until later.
