Hi Crystal,
thanks for the comments.
However suggesting I'm weak is a bit harsh when you consider I have spent the last two years out of the last six being the stronger of the two not only in trying to make the relationship work but sacrificing a lot to do so, being more patient than any one person has a right or need to be and dealing with someone who is essentially dead inside but all to no avail.
That aside regarding meeting someone prior to leaving the question was put purely as a topic of discussion and not as a declaration of intent.
I maybe a guy and have a profile here but I'm not heartless.
Again thanks for the comments though.


a profile on here is a statement of intent

BTW, do we have a playing the violin emoticon on here? I am unable to locate??

Here's a question that may raise a few eyebrows.
If your in a relationship but NOT MARRIED or ever likely to be, you pass on the stairs in life and in the bedroom, the conversation has died but your too chicken to jump ship, is it wrong to want to find someone else before you leave??

That's what a lot of men do.
It is wrong, it will hurt the woman you're with now, even if the relationship has faded away. Do you want that?
It's not the right thing to do to a new woman either, as it's not the right start of a relationship. You need to get over a relationship in every sense of the way, before you're ready for a new one. Even if that's only letting go of household routines you have with your current partner.
As for you, maybe you should find a coach or counselor so you learn how to get stronger and why you lack strength.
Or maybe not get involved at all again as you can't and daren't handle things when it gets difficult? Plus, you not being strong may be the very reason why your relationship went sour to begin with. You should really work on that.

All in all I think it's a pretty lame thing to do and yes it's wrong. And the fact that you're NOT MARRIED doesn't matter jack. Just makes it easier and less expensive to split up. You're in a committed relationship. A piece of paper doesn't make much of a difference.

:thumbsup:

And what kind of woman would agree to such a thing?

or maybe he needs to have this conversation with his wife?

it is wrong. period. for either one, the man or the woman to put the next batter in the box before the first is through
One of the reasons I posted the question was to spark debate.
That seems to have worked.
The other is to show how easy it is to jump to assumptions about a person before gaining all the facts.
True I have posted a profile on here but that doesn't mean to say I want to fool around behind my partners back and yes things are tough between us but I wasn't looking for affirmation of my actions.
Nor anyone's blessing.
I have come across situations, the like of which I started this thread with and wanted to get peoples views.
