ORIGINAL: ExiledTyrant quote:
ORIGINAL: UnholyBear The onus of fidelity and the morals are solely on the shoulders >snip< There it is. Personally, my relationship is sacred and holy and I wouldn't ever do anything to defile the sanctity of my relationship. A functional relationship is hard to come by, a good and functional relationship is like winning the lottery, an exceptional relationship is like winning the lottery every day. I cannot relate to those that could/would cheat, I'm not wired for it so I cannot see nor comprehend the need/desire to cheat... perhaps it is because when I commit to a relationship all else becomes background noise, but I know how to immerse myself in the moment and every moment with her is a slice of heaven... even the hard moments. This is how I feel. I have never cheated. Ever. For me, if I don't feel that a relationship and it's accepted and agreed upon boundaries is enough for me, I try to fix it or I walk. It's simple. Only I am responsible for the agreements I enter. And since I'm poly, that is part of my agreements. If my partner were to have an affair, I would not blame the "other woman" (or man), because that person did not break an agreement with me. My partner did. And frankly, if my partner finds a need to break the agreements in our relationship, that is a simple notice to me that our relationship is not what I thought it was, and it's time to re-thing (at the least) or end it. A person cannot be tempted into cheating if he/she is satiated. If he/she is in the right relationship, satiety should be a simple matter, and well taken care of, within the relationship. My parents went through something like this. Both of them ended up blissfully happy with others, because they finally got out of each other's way. So, yes, I'm biased. quote:
ORIGINAL: shiftyw Personally? I think if you're thinking these men are chumps and these ladies are malicious home wreckers- you're being wayyy sexist. The men "can't help it" and "boys will be boys" right? It takes two to tango. That "temptation" is something both sexes deal with and dish out. in the case of cheating, he is not free of responsibility- stop implying that these women lure them in under false pretenses or that these men can't help it- they can. Agreed. quote:
ORIGINAL: orgasmdenial12 I disagree. No-one is immune to moral or ethical considerations, especially concerning the nature of their work. The drug dealer is considered as guilty as the addict, in our society, even though it is the addict who seeks out the dealer. When a private investigator is hired to find someone, they must first ascertain that they are not enabling a stalker or an abuser. The morality is not solely the responsibility of the person who pays for the service, it is also upon the person who provides the service. If you choose to make money out of an activity that you know to be based on dishonesty and the manipulation of others which may lead to the suffering of an innocent individual, then that is immoral, regardless of whether it is 'business' or not. In fact it is *more* immoral, because you profited directly from the dishonesty and suffering of others. Bolded mine. So, you are saying that pros make money through dishonesty and manipulation of others? How so?
