Search Results: he is dating others

I have introduced several girlfriends to my parents and siblings. Eventually, I would prepare them with this warning: "After you meet my parents, as we are walking away, you'll lean over in my direction and whisper, 'You were adopted, weren't you?'"

If you are just dating casually, meeting parents is not important, but if you are dating to find a long term, monogamous partner, meeting each other's family is essential. So. . . at what point do you ask if he/she would like to meet your parents?

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.)
