I was asked by a male friend of mine if I thought it was cheating if he never told anyone and there was no way for his girlfriend to find out. The immediate answer out of most people’s mouth would be yes, but I think this is a grey area.
My answer to him was “I don’t know”.
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? -only if it has a communicable disease.
Athletes that play on sports teams are famous for their infidelity. It’s easy for them; they’re always in a different city staying in hotel rooms. Who is going to find out? – we should ask Kobe Bryant’s wife.
Mistresses have become the hottest commodity for men lately. Some are being reserved about it and only having one in Argentina (Mark Sanford). Others have a 3 or 4 that include a neo-Nazi (Jesse James) and then there’s Tiger who all by himself managed to make every other guy in the world look like a saint.
I ran into Jake this past December; we started chatting and managed to get on the topic of Tiger. Knowing full well that Jake has a problem with a wandering eye; I wanted his take on it.
Surprisingly he said his wife should leave him. Then he asked me what I would do if I were her. I referenced Lorena Bobbit.
I had a discussion earlier today with Valerie about cheating. She said she could never cheat on the guy she is seeing because she would feel too bad about it. Then she asked me if I could ever cheat.
I know for sure that I would never carry on an affair while I was with someone else (unless it was with the pool boy or tennis instructor).
Once you’re in the woods, and you and your conscience are the only ones to hear the tree fall, I think the correct question isn’t “is it cheating” or “could you cheat” I think it’s all a matter of what lets you sleep at night.
I think we all learned from Tiger, if you can’t sleep at night, don’t pop Ambien and hop in your car, because those trees will pop right out at you.
