Lol chief, save it brother. Psychology was my major, and I'm now getting a masters in it. If you want to preach about why people do what, you certainly don't want to do it against someone who probably has forgotten more in the field of psychology than you ever learned in the first place. No offense of course

I find your advice to generally be correct and helpful Chief, as well as good spirited. This is the fist time I've seen you stoop to ignorance. I know I was being a jerk, but I think he'd benefit far more from that point of view than he would hoping for a relationship. You can argue your stance but I can give you many individuals researched facts on where the stereotype "a cheater will always be a cheater" comes from.

Your PUA mentality won't compare with 100's of years of legitimate psychological research. Not that the PUA mentality isn't correct and useful, because it certainly can be. But you are leaving the realm of PUA chief and entering psychologies.

And for the record, I've never been cheated on. And that's the truth. And I've never cheated either, in case your next big M word will be calling me a masochist who's using a reaction formation to counter his past actions. I've had 2 long loving relationships that died naturally, one of which was my own doing. I have no great secret or reason to hate women. Yeah they're all crazy, but all guys are assholes too so it balances out. hahaha


Best wishes to the topic creator. I hope you DO get whatever you want. You seem like a good person and those are rare. Keep us updated friend, I hope I am wrong about her

You're not the only psych major here, bub.

I'm sure you may be able to recall, from some evolutionary psych and/or biopsych classes the debates on whether or not human beings are prone monogamous relationships in the first place. There are arguments for both sides supported with evidence.

You are presupposing that infidelity is a morally reprehensible act that should be punished by someone like the OP. You are leaving the realm of psychology, ThomasX. Welcome to ethics!

Not bad at all. I commend you on your knowledge. I take back what I said about you not knowing psychology.

However, if YOU are familiar with the argument you're referring to, then why are you trying to throw me under the bus? Come on now.

I believe that the root of the issue here is misogyny. This whole mentality that causes someone to say something like "Call her ass out on it. She deserves it." is pretty harmful to every party involved, including you, her, and anyone reading that advice.

We cannot immediately know all the reasons as to why an individual would cheat on their partner within their specific circumstances. By the standards of any random person's moral system, cheating in her specific situation may or may not be acceptable. The fact of the matter is that there is always room to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she's not a bad person.

hahahhahahahha thats fuckin awesome

Hmm maybe you're right actually. I'd like to think I'd give the same advice to a girl though, if the circumstances were the same.

I see your point though.
