Pfffft. U should wake up dude and make an effort with your misses. Nothing worse than a cheater.




No intention on cheating on her mate


No intention of cheating? Ummm then why the hell are u on a dating site? Lol


Is this just a full on dating site then? No chance of finding friendship?
You may have me a little wrong! There are a few out there that do genuinely want friendship with the opposite sex, as stated in"a little about me"
Someone of the opposite sex who i can have fun with( I think fun is maybe the wrong word to use on here lol)
Is this such a bad thing?why does it have to resort to me wanting sex with a female!
The reason I am on here is to hopefully find someone with genuine interest as me and to become friends lol.
Everyone seems to be directing it to sex.
Or maybe I have the wrong site? Who knows.



Comes up as mingle2 free dating on my browser.
Why not just use Facebook?

To put you in the picture a little bit.
My partner is fine with me having male friends but female friends are a complete no no!!
This really was why I asked the main question.
Cheers.


well you are being dishonest by being here. If your female friend -seeking bothers her, maybe it's because you behave like someone who can't be trusted.

Instead of going behind her back, talk to her about it. As your partner, she should be all the female you really need.

it's one thing to have friends from before you met, it's another entirely to be seeking new female friends while you are in a relationship. it disrespects your partner. and you know you are wrong in being here that's why the no picture

don;t deny it ... u can't fool and old fool...lol

Let me ask you a question, would you be upset if
she signed up on here and asked for men to be her
friend? Are you going to be honest with her and
tell her you are here? If you answered NO to both
of these questions, I think you know what you need
to do!!!
Plus NO this is not just a dating site, I am not here
for dating..just friends!!! BUT I don't have a boyfriend
or a husband either!!!

But it is the first site that pops up on google when u type "dating site" and like the 20th if u type in friendship so I think it's more a dating site for "singles" then it is a friendship site.

You are right, it is a dating site but there are a lot of us
here for just friendship. This is a great place to make friends,
even though I am single, I am just not looking for a relationship.
But you are right Edward, this is the best dating site around!

you just answered your own question...Its wrong. If you love her, why would you drag more women into the mix. Work it out man, work it out

Have you tried rekindling the spark? What work have you done to re-establish the original connection. What drew you to her in the first place? After children many times couples expect everything to be as it was when the first spark of connection hit. The reality of life is that nothing stays the same, if it did we would never have a chance to grow up and see life from an equally important other perspective. If you can't love her as anything other than the mother of your children, then I would say you need to grow up and realize love changes, the type of love changes but to see if you are unselfish enough to meet the next challenge. When you have children, you need to let go of your own personal selfishness. Nothing teaches you better than children. They love unconditionally. They never look at parents as a temporary love, they assume they will be loved by their parents forever. As they love, we should love. It seems no matter what the parent's failings, they still love. Let the love they show influence you in your behavior. If you give up on the relationship after only 5 years, you won't handle the next one well either. No one feels the same spark as years pass, but it is possible for other sparks to be cultivated within the relationship. Of course if you don't want to work for this relationship, you won't work for the next one.

I have found, that if one needs to ask if its wrong, or WHY its wrong,,,

its usually an attempt to justify what one has already decided they want to do

and it usually isn't a good decision,,,


I personally find nothing wrong with true friendships, in which case gender isn't an issue

but if there is some doubt about it, perhaps ur conscious is considering that it may be an issue WITH YOU,, and it may not be wise to pursue ,,,,

just my opinion though




Completely agree! I am with someone now and Ive explained how I enjoy speaking with everyone in the forums! If I were being deceitful about my "reasons" for being on here then I wouldn't have told him

Thanks for all your input guys!:smile:
It's nice to hear other people's views on life, as what's in front of you is sometimes never that clear!
Personally,I don't think I could try any harder than I have over the past couple of years! Things have just changed!
Thanks again.
Dan




If they have changed for you, they have probably changed for her too. But you have children. What ever you do, they are and will always be your responsibility. Don't let your own wander lust cause you to make a huge mistake. Talk to your wife about this. Don't do anything behind her back. That is the worst thing you can do.

Things always change, life changes. You will grow old, both of you. Do you like each other enough to get through raising children and old age? Do you think another woman and (possibly more children)will make your life any different or better?

No one can answer these questions but you.... and her. Don't leave her out of it. She had your children, that's not an easy thing to do. Give her some respect.
