I am 29 and engaged to be married in November. We have been together for over 4 years in which we have been living together for three years. In nearly all my past relationships I have never been faithful. In my present relationship I have not been faithful. The common thread to my encounters is that on all occasions I have not sought the opportunity rather they have been girls who have shown an intense interest in me. It is always a one off and does not normally end in sex. There is only ever lust involved and no emotional attachment afterwards. If I leave my fiancée whom I am very much committed to and wish to raise a family with, I cant say I would not continue to occasionally stray if I was to become involved with someone else at alater date. No body has ever known that I do this. Can I still marry and be happy with the knowledge that I am capable of doing this on the basis that I am always discrete in my actions?
