Question - (24 August 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 24 August 2010)
A female United States age , anonymous writes:

a gf of mine asked me a question with regard to her current involvment with her lover.

she asked me if this man that she has been sleeping with for several years has a live in gf would this be considered the same as a married man having a long term affair on his wife?

i told her that IMO it would be considered to be a one in the same type of situation,

both men have the fringe benefits of having a wife/gf at home and are getting whatever it is they are so called lacking at home with the other woman.

and what man in their right state of mind would give this type of arrangement up if he's good the best of both worlds

they both have to lie to get what they want from either the wife/gf

would like to hear what you think

Cheating guys generally continue that way. He has the best or both worlds, so why would he end it?

They're exactly the same. He and his girlfriend are in a serious relationship and he's cheating on her with your friend.

It might be different if they weren't officially exclusive, but I think if you're living with someone it's generally understood that you're in an exclusive relationship!

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

so i will assume that even though what both of them are dead wrong for doing what they are doing coming from a man's point a view do you agree as to the reasons as to why these men do what they do?

what makes you so sure if this guy only has a live in GF that she won't win out somewhere along the line.

if it were a married man then i would say she has no chance at all.

He is a cheat in EXACTLY the same way as a married man would be. There's no fake marriage license, that's all. If she's seeing this guy, then she's no better than any other homewrecker and needs to move on before she's made out as the bad person and her reputation is left in tatters. The mistress always loses.
