What’s Your Infidelity IQ? Find Out Now
A 20-question quiz reveals if you're a cheater-in-waiting
by Pat Love, Ed.D.
Is it enough for couples to agree on the parameters of acceptable behavior, or should they avoid certain kinds of interaction outside the relationship altogether?
I think they should avoid certain kinds of interaction altogether. Infatuation is an altered state of consciousness. When you are under its influence, you cannot think rationally. The limbic system is talking, not the neocortex!
The Cheat Sheet:
The following items represent beliefs about the expectations and appropriate behavior related to marriage and/or a serious committed love relationship. For each statement, indicate whether you believe it is acceptable (A) or unacceptable (U) behavior. (Note: When the term “attractive” is used, it implies that you are attracted to this person and/or the person is attracted to you.)
A U 1. Having attractive friends outside the marriage/relationship.
A U 2. Socializing frequently without your partner.

You are an idiot Rio. Having sex with someone else is not being loyal to your partner! As much as most men fantasize about threesomes, if in a serious relationship it is better left to fantasy. Why would your ex pick an attractive women to have a threesome with you?? Use your brain genuis. The article is right, if you are attracted to someone, you should keep away from him/her. And spending intimate moments, even if they are only conversations, is getting involved with someone emotionally and drains your actual relationship. It just is not fair. If you are uncertain about your relationship, don’t drag the other person around. Do them a favor and let them know how you feel.

None of this means anything. It is the total loyality that counts. That also means being able to allow the other attractive to very attractive friends. One ex I had did the opposite she did want the excitement of threesomes but she chose unattractive women. I came to resent this as a slight on me and what she thought
