Does cheating make a stronger bond

What I mean is some of my friends have cheated with women,  acting on their fantasies and both understood that, and it seems that they're relationships are stronger than ever, I might be lost but for men some times they just need to act out once in awhile but it doesn't mean they don't love they're partner.  I also know women who have done the same thing and have never been happier in their relationship,  what do you think?

I feel cheating is wrong. I think Monogamy does not work. I have never cheated on my wife and her on me. I have had my fun with others and so has she. We have a Honest and Open Relationship. We have been sold that Monogamy is the only way, well my wife and I question that are live a very happy Polyamorous life.

You are right some time a man may need or want something other then what his wife can or is willing to give him. Yet that also goes equally the other way around. We have a high divorce rate in the USA and it’s not because people are wanting something more, it’s because they lied about wanting more. If you feel you want something more then Talk to your Spouse. Maybe your Friends have talked to there wife and they live a more Polyamorous or Swinging lifestyle you had not thought about.

No, it does not bring people closer together. I think it is sick that you are actually considering it. In a PM you sent me you said that you were a good guy but you just need more in the bedroom, you aren't a good guy if you are going to be unfaithful because your wife isn't willing to do the stuff you want her to do. Have you talked to her about what you want? All you said was that she isn't very approachable about stuff like this, What kind of marriage are you in if you cant talk to her about your sex life? Not a very good one.
I don't know you or your wife so I cant tell you how to approach her but I did give you some ideas, that's the best I can do.

This is a place where you can ask questions but you are going to get differing opinions.  Some may not be what you would like to hear.  I guess people figured you want to cheat because you have written about 3 or 4 posts talking about cheating on your wife.

I am just posting topics that are interesting to me what people think about them, have I ever cheated on my wife no, would no, but would still like to hear what people think about this topic.  No reason to get mad, this place is suppose to be a safe place where we don't judge nor do we point fingers.  We all have our issues and should be able to express them in here freely.

Why are you trying to find people who are going to tell you that cheating is ok? Why not stop posting in every form and just deal with your wife like a real man.

No people who cheat the relationships do not get stronger. They suffer a lot of damage that some are unable to move past and they end up getting a divorce.

I have tried to help you via personal messages on here but if you think that cheating is so great then just go out and do it and tell your wife. I'll see you on Divorce Court.
