Agree, except men and women can be friends. They can't if there's any kind of sexual attraction, but if there's not then it's not a problem.
Some people can fall in love with any old fruit fly. Others only rarely experience sexual attraction . For these people, opposite sex friendships are no biggie at all because they just see people as people to start off with. They don't look at folks and start running fuckability scores through their head like the people who fall in love every other week do.
Completely agree with the main part of the article though. Cheating is abuse. There's no excuse. If you're unhappy in your partnering conduct yourself with honor and integrity and get out BEFORE you take that step that makes it cheating.
Personally, even if I was miserable and had come to hate, literally loathe, my partner I would still never cheat. I'd never disrespect myself that way no matter how I felt about him. People with an actual ethics code dont piss in their own bed. It's really that simple.
I was once the woman a man cheated with though. And as soon as I found out I dumped his ass and outed him to boot. Why? If he's lying to me, he's lying to her too. If he cheated on her, he'll chest on me too. And yes he tried every justification in the book. Should have just saved his breath.
