To others it is 🙂

Is what? Wrong?

Yes it is wrong for some, including me. While others can continue to do this carelessly and take it very lightly because to them they think that flirting is not cheating. Well if it wasn't wrong then how come it is the cause of many broken relationships.

Perhaps more like a major misunderstanding between couples.

But then again to me it's foul because flirting is still a step towards cheating its like trying to feel the prey if its interested before eating it. It's not made of pure and friendly intentions. Oftentimes happen when one is involved in a dead relationship and just dont see any way out and is not comfortable to tell thei partners their problems so they look elsewhere whom they can share their feelings of neglect from their partner.

Okay, i get your point and will respect your opinion entirely.

I have a different opinion in that I don't feel it's as cut and dried for me as that, but I understand where you're coming from. The thing with flirting for me, is that it's a matter of trust.

ehh i love relationship posts. it brings out my emotional side ahahaha.
but sometimes people put words in my mouth and misconstrue everything. then it turns to an all out world war 3 of verbal abuse. hehehe.
i also forgot to look at the kid aspect. for the betterment of the kids, i encourage parents to work it out. but we all know the divorce rates been mighty high. 😢 so sad.

I can only speak for myself, but I found growing up in a home with parents in a "dead" marriage to be dreadful and soul destroying. Kids absorb all that bad shit, don't ever fool yourself about that.

It took surviving a mighty lot of crap for me to figure out I really am a ReallyNiceAriesPerson - for so much of my life I was told and believed a bunch of other stuff. My heart breaks for the kiddies I see the same things happening to now. I hope they make it through with fewer battle scars than I!

Even when things were in the dregs help..I neither flirted with intent nor did I entertain cheating. I was married. One tends to take such things seriously. And I didn't even ponder dating or anything else until the divorce was final. There again. I was still a married woman. And just because he did not take his vows seriously, I did.

Well, I've dated several Libras, and they are THE flirts (in my opinion) of the zodiac, and it never bothered me, because to Taurguy's point, they were flirts with EVERYBODY - beautiful, not so beautiful, older, younger (not too young though) and everything in between. My female friends who flirt, also flirt with men and women; it's just their personality. Some of the worst cheaters and infidels I've ever known are those who you, from all appearances NEVER looked at another woman in their woman's presence, but lo' and behold they are bangin' anything that moves. Much like VB, if I was with my SO and saw an attractive woman, or one with a bangin' body, etc, I would be more apt to comment then they would. Unfortunately, if someone is going to cheat, you can be with them 23.5 hours of the day, and that .5 you aren't - they will. I don't have the time, energy nor inclination to babysit a grown a $ $ man. I've said it once, and it always bears repeating - when I am with someone, I will tell their a $ $ in a minute, "If you are looking for someone to babysit you, then pay some woman $ 10 an hour to do it; because that is not my job." If I am with (seriously dating) someone, I give them the trust that I expect and demand in return. If they break that trust, they know I'm ghost. It's as simple as that in my little world. As my dad says, "You give someone enough rope, they'll hang themselves with it, if that's what they are intending to do anyway."
I don't poo poo anyone's decisions in their relationships, because what works for one person may not work for another - to each his/her own.

Agreed, kids DO absorb all that bad shit.

One of my good friends is a Taurus male and even though he is miserable he stays because he doesn't want his kid to live in a home with no father. For me I only stayed with my children's father because I wanted to make sure I was financially stable before I moved on. So yes we are willing to endure bs if it means we can make sure that the comfort and security we crave is being fulfilled. But when that day comes when we can do it on our own, whether it be a new relationship or we can take care of ourselves we'll be gone so fast it will make you head spin!

😢

Very sad that 2 people stay together like this.... 2 unhappy people.

Then there is the person that you SHOULD be with - being happy and the person your partner should be with.
So now we have 4 unhappy people, plus any children.

No wonder the world is such an unhappy place.

>Are you sure disloyality will make a Taurus leave for sure?!
I know his ex is seeing other guys. Maybe he is in denial about it or they just have a sexual affair.

There is also a possibility that he's planning to murder all these guys lol

Honestly, if the relationship is bad all around (but without cheating) the motivation for staying is pretty much what motivates Tauruses in almost every other situation: comfort and security.

SoFreaking true. Trying to go meet up with him to tomorrow to talk about everyrhing. Put everyrhing out in the open one last time by reminding him that 98% of it was his fault. Let remain friends, get drunk and hit the strip club. Besides I need an excuse to get out of this retched town and visit the city.

The joke in the Taurus world is "they're okay with it if you break up with and leave them PROVIDING when you leave, that you take them with you!!" 🙂

Maybe it's like that b/c it saves them the trouble of stalking?! 🙂

I like to call it 'research'. 😄
