Default Re: Marriage: One unfaithfulness exception, or none?

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks guys. I am actually more worried not about her being deliberately unfaithful, but as a thing where she was manipulated by another guy. She is very trusting and might make some unwise decisions if such a guy came along. I have no plans to have an affair and I don't think I will do such a thing.

I'll not bring it up, and if it really does happen, I'll deal with it then. I think it's a less than 5% chance it'll come up, anyway.

Trusting is one thing. Dumb is another. And altogether different from both is a strong sense of identity. If she knows who she is and what she wants, she will not be manipulated into doing anything she doesn't want to do.

I may very well be wrong, but I think the capacity for self-deception is the strongest predictor of infidelity.
