150-200 words

[ummmm]

Both as bad as each other IMO....

[LoftyLottie]

Is this part of an exam question!

[redcrx]

isnt the question directed at you? rather than us

[mccfluff]

i don;t think i'd like either very much

[DosAmigos]

The second option could be put down to lust, so marginally forgiveable.
An emotional relationship? Time to move on...

[jackthehat]

Do your own homework............

[LoftyLottie]

Exactly Red. So it should be fion's own feelings about the subjects.

Or is it a survey!!

Either way it seems a bit demanding 150-200 words? A bit cheaky methinks!!

Goodness me - that's a bit deep for a Friday morning!

Right - have always thought that if it was "just sex" then I could get over it but if he fell in love with someone else I would be devastated.
Of course, until it happens then I don't really know how I would feel.
Have been married since I was 19 (he was 29) and we are closer now than ever and it is one thing that is not an issue between us because, for some reason, he is happy with me and I absolutely adore him.
Saw part of an interview on "This Morning" with a woman who only sleeps with married men and I wanted to knee-cap her AND the husband!

[LoftyLottie]

cheeky!

[ummmm]

Didn't notice 150-200 words...

[LoftyLottie]

Never been an issue with us either Bette in 39 years!!

[BetteK]

Only done 32 years Lottie but I am with you on that one - he is someone I trust 110% and he is just the most amazing husband ever ... well, still a bit of a pain in some departments ... like buying flowers ... but otherwise perfect!

[fion_mok]

well , it is a part of my project

but u can also show your insight or opinions

any comments would be welcome

[ummmm]

What's your opinions on the matter?

[woofgang]

my comment would be if you are going to copy paste stuff out of your coursework, at least edit it enough so it doesn't look like you have,

[andy-hughes]

It depends entirely on the individuals concerned - there is simply no definitive answer.

Hypothetically - i would suggest that an emotional commitment is deeper and more damaging than a purely sexual link, but obviously neither is going to end well.

[joggerjayne]

Both bad, of course, but ...

Intimate betrayal is FAAAR worse than physical betrayal.

Far far far worse.
