| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 6/1/2005 11:14:31 PM | | ANd yet half the biblical men had more than one wife...hmmmm so maybe we should allow polygamy...wouldn't that erase adultery? | |

I'm not going to debate religion, but in the Old Testament things were as you refer to them being. However, in most organized religions today, the New Testament is followed. Therefore, that blows your justification of adultery out the window.
It's wrong.
Besides, if people practice polygamy, everybody in the relationship is consenting. If you date a married person, the other spouse is not consenting to the destruction of their marriage. | |

Posted: 6/1/2005 11:27:52 PM | | my dear mommy of 2 far from trying to justify adultery I was simply trying to suggest an alternative that might keep everyone happy...you may also note a slight hint of sarcasm...but then again you may not...depends on how fanatical and how desperate you are to turn this into an argument rather than just a fun chat forum....lol | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 6/1/2005 11:36:23 PM | | ooh you little jezebel...and did you repent of your misdeed and say 10 hail mary's because that will get you forgiven....so the church says | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 6/1/2005 11:37:24 PM | Thank you Jet
gholden... As far as I can see, you have been playing devil's advocate for adultery throughout this entire thread. If you are indeed being sarcastic, does that reflect the fact that these are not your views? If that's the case, why would you choose to discuss and debate an issue that you don't support? I'm not trying to argue. I simply state my opinion, or in the case of the Biblical references, fact. Btw .... "The Church" you make reference to in your post above this one is the Catholic church. They say Hail Mary's, and 10 is not a set number to be forgiven for any sin. (I'm not Catholic either). I know you were being sarcastic there, but it's not a joke to some people.
jpl... Thanks ... I was raised in a cult and have explored other religions as well. I may be non-religious, but I've read the Bible cover to cover many times.
OT: Adultery is wrong. Period. | |

can I do that even if I'm not Catholic? o.t...nooo married men for me..not even if they are "unhappy", "getting a divorce", "she doesn't understand him", "he only married her cuz she got pregnant", "only stayed for the kids", "they have a open marriage", I have heard them all... | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 6/1/2005 11:43:17 PM | | mommy of 2 I like to play devils advocate it stirs fun and brings fanatics to the surface...you proved my point admirably....as for the cult thing and exploring other religions well that is about as useful to this thread as a bible in a whorehouse....do you think you are alone in studying religion.....how special are you? lol something tells me you are rather personally affected by this...but then I have studied psychology and read many books on people's reactions to this kind of thing so maybe that makes me an expert or something lmao | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 6/2/2005 3:13:02 AM | Would I date a married woman = No Would a marry a woman who was Very recently sepeated = No Would I date a woman who had been seperated a long time =Yes Would I date someone in a relationship = No
No matter how you attempt to justify it there would very very few occassions anyone could possibly justify this.
Scenario. To the married people on here who try to justify it Great, fine, let me talk to your husband/wife and get his/her ok first What would be their/your reaction???

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 6/2/2005 4:59:21 AM | do unto others as you would have them do unto you!!!
Honestly if you date a married person.. they are cheating on their spouse..... sooooooo who's to say if you were married to them... they wouldn't cheat on you?
I think that says alot about a person.... looking for whatever is missing while still attached. They must have HUGE issues with abandonment and being alone... and I don't have time for crap like that!!!!
Just my 2 cents  | |

...a married woman? No way ( I never did, even though my friends laugh when I said that)
..a woman who is separated? Yes, if its definitively over.  | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 6/2/2005 6:19:47 AM | Like I said I tried it... was just coffee... no harm, no foul... I have since been discovering that if you want that kind of adventure then join a swingers club...singles aren't welcome but hey, go for it...
Question: is it cheating if your partner says to go ahead and fullfil your every fantasy? | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 6/2/2005 6:31:49 AM | NEVER....
I have gone out w/ them - only cause they led me on to believe they weren't.. -- BUT no F'n Way...
I've dated Seperated and it got real HOT... I had to let it stop - cause I figured he had to resolve his issues, get to know himself before starting a new...
Now that I look at it.. I wouldn't even date a SEPERATED MAN... (probably not even a divorcee)...
So many swinging singles out there, why occupy my time w/ anothers issues..

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 6/2/2005 6:34:32 AM | | It doesnt matter whether its just lust or love people grow apart and things change, i have been married and have had my significant other cheat. I dont hold a grudge. We grew apart and we both needed more. IS THAT SO WRONG? | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 6/2/2005 6:50:22 AM | Nope Ex... it is not wrong...
for me though... Personally... I get to emotionally involved...
Example when I dated that Seperated one.. It was going real well... and we were talking of moving in together and he wasn't even divorced YET...
all the while I was think'n.. many times the EX.. would come around and pick up the kids and they see ea. other... -- and perhaps old feelings may surface...
Now .. He pointed out the same reason that HE wasn't in LOVE w/ her, that he had no feelings for her ..( she was a bit overweight, and felt he needed better)... But, I didn't buy that... - And I'm a very confident person w/ myself in looks... he was also much younger - so there were two outstanding factors that really made me think even harder...-
As for today - after experiencing such, I really can't say I would even Date one...
Just going by what I tasted...
I probably will stay single for the rest of my life, because many men my age today are married or have kids....  | |
