    Am I wrong for thinking that the affair I could forgive but making the damn mess in my house is beyond the pale?

    My BFF and his boyfriend of 6 years agreed to split up. It was fairly amicable. They toughed it out while the boyfriend looked for a new apartment, taking turns sleeping on the sofa.

    I was surprised they lasted that long. The sexin' was infrequent and lousy, the boyfriend was the slob half of the Odd Couple, and they wanted different things out of life. Plus, the boyfriend cheated (and ultimately got what he deserved, as you will see.) But it seemed to work ok for a month or two.

    Until! The boyfriend returned home early one night and was surprised to find candles, a used ashtray and two empty wineglasses in the sink.

    My buddy (whom I still call "Helium Heels") was abed with a rather goodlooking Craigslist hookup, sexin' away with Hard Mechanics 2 on DVD a-playin'. Fortunately he was able to 'fess up, get the boyfriend to take a walk, and kick the craggy Craiggy to the curb without them actually seeing eachother.

    He remains defiant. And I got him a gift certificate to The Red Roof Inn for Christmas.

    Ashley Madison is way too upscaley and fancy for me. You can tell by the two classy hooker names. I want to join a place called Moe Santiago. You schtup in the storeroom of a Dominican chino-latino restaurant on a crate of Manischevitz.

    @BookishLookish: I actually know several people who have made awesome hook ups and had great affairs through Ashley Madison.

    And, my lesbian friends love it because there are A LOT of "straight" girls in long term relationships with men who want one night stands with girls on Ashley Madison.

    @BookishLookish: Nothing wrong with that. You also have to remember I'm currently living in a culture where married women/girls in long term relationships are expected to be unfaithful once in a while. Nobody is judgmental about it.

    What I find amusing is that my partner (and several other of my female friends) have told me that if you are female and over 30 Courgared is a wonderful way to boost your ego - despite how ridiculously cheesy the site design is.

    @drunkexpatwriter:

    Beware. I have heard that private investigators can use ashleymadison as a means to gather evidence or worse, "create business". I have no idea if this is true or not, but I have dealt with a handful of PI's and this is something I would not put past them.

    I vaguely remember a story in the news a few months/year ago where a woman would blackmail the men she met on a cheaters website (I believe one man was blackmailed more than once, until he had enough!).

    @Wrapitup: Tease her about it for weeks.

    A variation of this happened about four years ago. One of my friends had just gotten dumped in a really, really bad way.

    He was in one of those "I'm never going to be with a girl again" modes of freaking out.

    So, we took him to Barcelona, got him drunk and then took him to my favorite brothel.

    While he went off to one of the back rooms with a cute blond thing, my gf and I drank beer and watched the strippers/live sex show.

    She then realized she had a mini crush on one of the working girls - but was too shy to approach her myself.

    Being a gentleman I went up and talked to the girl for her. She explained that she didn't do girls but could suggest several other girls for my girlfriend.

    I told my lady this, but she was hell bent on this girl. So, she asked if I would ask the girl I could do her while she watched - because my girlfriend really wanted to see this girl getting sexy.

    The downside (and I will regret this forever) is that I'd been drinking since 5 p.m. and it was now like 3 a.m. and I was unsure if my equipment would work.

    So, I passed - on the one and only time in my life that a girlfriend will ever offer to pay another girl to have sex with me.

    @drunkexpatwriter: I could be very wrong about this b/c it was explained to me by someone from the UK about the functionality of French affairs, but, they work so well b/c of discretion? i.e., the person having the affair would be mortified to learn that they had been caught out & would end the affair immediately. Family always comes before the affair and so feelings are never so badly hurt that the relationship can't recover (of course there are always exceptions). It's considered poor taste that the spouse would carry on an obvious or disruptive affair. Is this only for marrieds, just a myth, or is there any truth to it?

    @once: Yes. It all works because of discretion. But it's assumed that it's happening. But if you ever rubbed it into your lover/husband's face that would be awful and the start of a blood feud.

    Yes, family comes first and you do everything you can to not get caught.

    The rule of thumb is "do not do anything that would embarrass your spouse."

    And, yeah, the second you got caught you'd stop the affair.

    And yeah obvious and disruptive affairs would not only end a marriage but would get you ostracized by your friends.

    Affairs are supposed to be whispered about with your same gender friends and kept discreet.

    And, I think that's a good policy

    @resipsaloquacious: That's OK. You are no doubt many thousands of miles away... and I have a date with a hot Arab guy with a gun on his hip in a back room at the end of the work day. Life is good!

    @violet.honey: You're the one with the well-placed husband and time on your hands, babe. We are all working poors over here. Drinks and tits or it's no go.

    @BookishLookish: Oh, I'm working. And I'm even vertical doing it. And the hot Arab guy is definitely not my husband.

    I knew someone who hid in his married lover's trunk as she ran errands. Then when she got home and got her kid squared away with a video game, she got him out and they snuck in her house and did it in the locked master bedroom.

    Hearing it from him was amusing - because I imagined the cuckolded husband coming home and my buddy running away half-naked, clothes in hand, while banjos played - but writing it out, it just looks creepy.

    Wow. If that woman gets so worked up over a football, imagine her reaction to a feathered shuttlecock.

    Bringing your mistress to your house? What? That's just plain uncivilized...

    @Botswana Meat Commission FC: What fun is that? Half the joy of a clandestine affair is clean sheets and the ability to watch whatever TV you want uninterrupted in the hotel room!

    Based on little miss pigskin's reaction, it seems that once you go black background you never go back.

    In reply to Jimmy Kimmel Pulls a Letterman, Sleeps with Employee
    They're kind of being schmucks about this. There was never any real allegation that Letterman didn't "keep things professional" during work hours, just snide insinuations based on the fact that he has a couch in his office -- which I'm sure Kimmel does, too.

    The fact is, the two situations are almost exactly the same -- unmarried men who started relationships with underlings, possibly while in relationships with other people.

    No one cares that much about Kimmel's highjinks, because a) he's a big dumb galoot who formerly hosted "The Man Show"; b) he hasn't interviewed Clinton or Obama or expressed views that made conservatives angry; and c) no one cares that much about Kimmel, period. But if the media continue to go after Letterman without criticizing Kimmel, that's just hypocritical. Either they're both power-tripping leches who created an unfair work environment, or neither of them did anything worth carping about for weeks on end.
