Search Results: attitude

I have this married female friend who I show affection to when I’m excited or bored. Nothing sexual just friendly side hugs, touch her arm or hand in a playful way or when we go outside walking on a sidewalk in the protector basically. Sometime I pull her out of harms way or have to quickly grab her hand before she get hit by a car.

But when I stop showing affection or touching her arm, shoulder, playfully hitting her something we both do. She thinks something is wrong. If I show affection to another woman who isn’t married and I’m more touchy feely with. She slowly gets upset and then angry. She’s not physically angry but when she talks to me she has an attitude.

She’s not the first woman I have met that’s like this. Almost as if affection is a drug.

Do you think affection is a drug?

I have spent years dating, in monogamous relationships, and in marriage, and I never cheated on a partner. Not once. But I would never claim that I couldn't be tempted to cheat. I don't want to cheat, I couldn't face myself in the mirror if I did that, but I am not so arrogant to think I'm better than everyone else so that could never happen to me. No, I am careful to avoid situations that could lead to cheating, such as having lunches with a woman and no other person present, going out for a drink after work with a female co-worker, etc.

COULD you cheat under the wrong circumstances? DO you rely on your moral character to avoid cheating? Do you avoid situations that could present a temptation to be unfaithful?

(If you believe in polyamory or open relationships, please do not respond to the poll. I am interested in the attitudes of people who at least profess to prefer a committed, monogamous relationship.)
