I call cheating. A woman in committed relationship has no business going to dinner with an old friend or ex, alone. There are things that you can do single and things you just cant do in a committed, exclusive relationship. Guys sorry but I feel strip clubs are out of line too.
Anyway "A man and woman can never truely be just friends because sex gets in the way." That line is taken from When Harry Met Sally. It is truth. I know it has been beat up countless times on here but I say a male "friend" of a female lacks ability or opportunity not intent. Women know this. The smart ones play dumb to it.
Maybe what I am missing here lately is that this branch swinging term that has come to vogue is dealing with women and men in uncomitted relationships. Men and women who havent had "the talk" yet. Or maybe have had it but it was initated by the man who subsequently lost the power position of the relationship and cannot stop the branch swinging.
If it is the case that the woman is branch swinging in uncomitted "relationships", then well sorry but that is tough **** for the guy. No excuses, no complaining step up your game or get replaced. If it is happening in a truely committed and supposedly exclusive deal then maybe it is time to re-evaluate whether it is truely committed and exclusive and how well you and your woman are relating. It isnt acceptable. It shouldnt be tolerated.
Would a guy allow a supposedly good friend to explore other options and if he cant find anything better to just come back and hangout. Would he allow his employee to shop around for better jobs, try a few out maybe, and then come back and give them the full benefits package as though they never left the office? The answer is no. The only example of humans permitting another human to do this to them (outside of The NotebookTianticLifetime media fantasy land) is a parent to a child. However parents let the Prodigal Son return so to speak because they have a vested interst in providing that child a good environment so the child will pass on the said parents genes.
What are the thoughts on here?
