Would the men out there who have been 100% faithful physically to their wives please post this information? My husband believes all men are unfaithful to their wives sometime during their marriages. He says he doesn't know a single married man that hasn't cheated on his wife. He's from India so that also may have something to do with it.

I had an EA some 18 years ago so I cannot stand up and be counted. I did read something to the effect that 3 out 5 men are unfaithful in the first 5 years. You should also realize that 2 out of 5 women are unfaithful in the first 5 years.<P>Regardless it does not make it right. I found out what I did 18 years ago just hurt everyone involved including myself. I believe that a unfaithful spouse is the worse and most cruel thing that could happen to the other S with the possible exception of a child dying. Even that has certain and reasonably short closure while an affair can and often does go on for years.<P>J W

Peace Lover,<P>I've stayed faithful to my W....it hasn't been easy, but it takes a stronger man to resist than to give in.<P>Maybe ask your H, why would he risk you health by having an affair and run the risk of giving you a STD or break your heart?<P>Hang in There!

HI,<BR> I'm sure some men here wonder if all WOMEN are unfaithful.<BR> I have been faithful for 15 years. My W is living with OM and I'm STILL faithful, completely faithful. I hope I can remain that way under the circumstances. I believe I will. <BR> GOOD LUCK & PRAYERS FRANK

Peace Lover,<P>Your H is <B>WRONG</B>. It sounds like he is engaging in self-justification ("if everybody does it then it's OK for me too")<P>Count me among the faithful (nearly 17 years)<P>------------------<BR>But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.<BR>Galatians 5:22-23

While I have to admit there have been times when I've "lusted in my heart" ala Jimmy Carter, I can honestly say that I've never had an EA/PA in twenty years of marriage.

Count me in. I have been completely faithful to my wife of 9 years and it has been easy. When all you want and desire at home, why stray away from that? [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]

My bride is the woman that I pledged eight years ago "Have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death." <P>This was not an earthly contract, but a holy covenant witnessed by the Lord God Almighty. He will continue to give me the strength and the will to keep my covenant, although with divorce pending, this is certainly one of the "for worse" times.<P>I have been and remain true to her.<BR>
