If you could cheat on your mate...

Interesting... I was answering the question from my own perspective of cheating. For instance, if a married couple had agreed to have an open marriage and have sex with other partners, that wouldn't be cheating.

So by the patented Dave standard, no, you surely weren't cheating.

Dave

Never. I wouldnt steal from anyone either. Not because I believe in some hiding superhero asshole God coming back to judge my ass either. It's because I have empathy for the feelings of people I care about.

No.  I value what I have too highly and I haven't yet met another man who measures up to him.  He's stuck with me, like it or not!

Nina

No. For me, it isn't a question of whether I would be untrue to my wife. I would consider it a betrayal of myself. My integrity and fidelity are too precious for me to cast them aside.

No. I was married for five years, and towards the last three years it was hell! She was going out late, I kept finding thongs I would never see her wear, and to top that all off,we were not having sex for that last year and a half. But I was still faithfull. I still loved her and would'nt desrespect the vow I made. Don't get me wrong though, there were temptations but i'd rather leave than to cheat.

Goodness no I wouldn't. If it got to the point where I wanted to cheat, I would call it quits first. It's not fair to anyone involved.

Not only no but HELL no!  There is absolutely no one hot enough and no sex good enough to make that worthwhile!!  And I agree with who-ever said its not because of some big-assed old angry god up there with the can of whoopass.  Its a personal decision and its about integrity, trust, honor, and respect.

Plus I have a great partner!

Those were some awesome answers everyone!  It seems that the MAJORITY would not cheat on their mate, even if they wouldn't be found out, because of what they THEMSELVES think about themselves.  It's not what *they* know, it's what we know about ourselves that counts.  I find that wonderfully refreshing as opposed to what the JW's think of us heathens that, as soon as we are DF'd or DA ourselves, turn into.    Thanks for answering my question honestly and with alot of courage and candor.  You guys are great.  As far as I can tell...

You guys are *sooooo* worth it!
