Even Jimmy Carter admitted to lusting in his heart about someone other than his wife. And to him that was adultery.
I know other poster have advised "full disclosure". However, once you admit to cheating it can't be undone.
However, you do have to worry about STDs.
A divorce might be a financial disaster for both of you.
If he does find out, tell him why you started, and why you let him continue. Do it without drama (guys hate drama).
I was, of all places, in Billings Montana on business. As I gassed up my rental car, the next business over was an Adam and Even store. Unlike similar stores, the windows were transparent, meaning you could easily she who was shopping (and for what). I want to know is that how all there stores?
I would think most people would want some privacy, but it is that a market thing to have the windows like that?
Spoiler alert about a minor scene in the new Jurassic movie:
Throughout the movie there are several scenes of two technicians, one man and one woman, seated by each other in front of
computer consoles. The two have obviously been working side by side for months, if not years. Towards the dramatic end of the movie, he goes to kiss her. She says "I have a boyfriend."
Didn't she have some responsibility to disclose that after working side by side for so long with the same guy? I know some women will say, "it's none of his business if she has a boyfriend". However, from the guy's point of view, if she doesn't mention him, it is like she is ashamed of her boyfriend or her silence says she is looking for something better to come along.
I mention this because the woman I have sat across at work (and whom I am not all interested) for over three years, has never mentioned a boyfriend (or a girlfriend). I feel like it is a common courtesy to disclosed , otherwise it is like we are near strangers.
Incidentally, from time to time, our attractive boss will mention her boyfriend by name. You can hear in her voice the love and pride she has in him.

For those of you not familiar with the Eiffel Game, it goes like this. You ask a random group of people to estimate the height of the Eiffel Tower (of course you can Google, but that would be missing the point). The average of the responses will get pretty close to the actual height. This technique works elsewhere as well.
So my question is: What percentage of women do you think accept formal marriage proposals on the spot? I know it must seem romantic for a woman to be asked and she says yes right away, but some guys are bound to be disappointed?
So what percentage of guys get the bad news? (For clarity, anything except an on-the-spot genuine yes will we consider "bad news").
So ladies, what percentage of women say yes?
I appreciate everyone's remarks. I'll keep opening door. If you are clearly first for the door, yes hold it open me, but please don't hold it open simply because I"m in the "mature" category.
Do want guys to open a door for you? It was just the way I was raised and I'm a little bit older than most of you
here. I get the impression that some young women don't like it.
BTW, I don't like it when (unless I'm carrying a package or she is clearly ahead) of woman opening a door for me . . . please don't make me like a grandfather!
I know sometimes, to discourage unwanted male attention, women wear wedding rings when they are not married. But what about the opposite, not wearing a wedding ring when you are married?
I mention this because years ago, I had monthly meetings with one of our vendors. The meetings were easy going, one woman from the vendor was always seemed particularly friendly with me. In the chit chat before the monthly meeting she never mentioned a boyfriend or husband. There was never a chance to talk with her with one of her coworkers present (usually at least one male coworker who I knew was married and by the way, wore a wedding ring).
Eventually the project ended and there was a small celebration (just cake and punch). Finally, I would have a chance to socialize with her, but she brought her kids and expressed regret that husband couldn't make it! Also, I know, two rather attractive women in the office, who are married, but don't wear wedding rings. What gives?
Not many guys are brave enough like Jacob to wear briefs like that.
While I am on FetLife, on a scale of 1-10, on average the women of Lush are two points
ahead of the women on FetLife.
I'm on Fetlife, however some of the kinks at that site are a definite turn off.
I never did it in a car. I did it in in a small plane once (while in the hangar). It was my uncle's
plane. After we were done, I thought all was well, except just as we were leaving I realized I
had kicked that latch off the fire extinguisher!!.
Here's a story I've wanted to post for awhile, but never found they right forum.
I took ten days driving to "see the USA" on my cross-country to attend graduate school. Of course, I as a student I was watching every dime. I stayed in the cheapest hotels I could find. In one small city (I don't even remember its name) in the Midwest I went to check in at "cheap hotel." The desk clerk (who actually wasn't behind the desk when I arrived) said his credit card reader was down. He would have to take my card to the business next door. He told me how much a room was and I gave him my own and only credit card. I waited. I waited.
Fearing that I just been ripped off, I went to the business next door. Inside there was the desk clerk and a woman. The woman was dressed rather fancy for a cheap Midwest motel. I retrieved my card and out of the corner of my eye saw two women in lingerie. I was so focused on getting my card back, it was not until I got into my room I realized I walked into a brothel.
I did not partake of any the "services" if for not other reason than my parents were literally paying my way to college and the credit card bill was going to them.
I am in a very ho hum marriage. My wife and I can sit and watch TV and have a pleasant evening, but sexually she is little to me. She had gastric bypass years ago, has multiple surgical scars from reconstructive surgery, but it still significantly overweight. She hides sweets (I found them looking for a pair of scissors). Because of her weight her knees are shot. She hasn't been on top for years.
However, I live in a nice home, ten minutes from work, in a nice neighborhood, I can walk to he grocery story and bike downtown. The gym I belong to is five minutes a way (she has a membership but has gone maybe twice in two months).
I would divorce her, but I would lose the house, have to pay and arm and a leg in alimony and would have a huge commute because I couldn't afford to live anywhere near work.
We have one away in college, and soon another. Even in-state the tuition bill is ridiculous . . .
Sorry to be a downer, but that what I live everyday. Thanks for reading this post.
When you are on a first real date (I mean date not just meeting for coffee) with a guy, do you expect him to pay? Or is there my equality in dating now?
He has been admired by millions.
I have gym membership in a local chain of gyms. I usually go to the gym near home, but once in a while because of work, I use the gym in a nearby city.
Sometimes, usually at the end of my workout (when to be honest I'm a little sweaty) gets on a treadmill in the front row of machines. (I prefer the elipitical machines in the second row). She doesn't wear a ring and we have smile at each other in the mirror.
How do I introduce myself without it being awkward? I can't hang around for her to end her work out as I have to get back to work.
I don't have a picture to post. I just wanted my profile pic to show as it fit the category. Comments welcome.
(See my profile for one more).
I agree with the no-means-no sentiment of some users, but if your are willing to risk
the relationship, suggest a threesome. . . with a guy you know to be bi. Add some wine.
However, be careful what you wish for, sometimes the idea is better than reality.
Due to my wife's bad knees I have had either in several years.
I'm getting mighty tired of missionary.
I don't know if this counts a phobia, but due to the nature of my job, about once or twice a month I have to wear tie to work. However, almost when I start to tie the, there is mild panic that I will forget how. I haven't forgotten yet, but when I do. . . I guess the Alzheimer's support group.
Call me old-fashioned, but absolutely not.
Frank as always you post great pics.
What I find interesting about these responses, is that most people write what they believe is the "obvious" answer. ChuckePoo's answer is realistic. . . Face it. There is no place for a guy to look, touch, stand in a lingerie --- even with his wife/g/f without feeling awkward. Some guys will say otherwise, but few guys will protest if their wife/g/f said, "Dear, why don't you get a cup of coffee. . . I'll text you when I'm done."
Ok, guys here's a scenario. Your at the mall with your girl/wife. She wants your help picking out a new drill (or other tool) for her father for his birthday. You have the whole afternoon to find him a present.
As you walk through the mall, you pass a Victoria Secrets. She says, "I need some new bras" and starts to walk into the store. What do you do?
