<p>no one here is saying that the world is "full of peace, hapiness and soulmates." </p>
<p>We are just saying that not everyone ends up bitter and divorced. </p>
<p>You seem to be a glass is half empty kind of person.</p>
<p>Griff- don't you get it that this thread is just about nothing now?</p>
<p>you know you can always leave, ben...</p>

<p>Maybe, but it's made me work harder when I doubt myself, and be able to get farther than if I were to be overly optimistic. It's also a defense mechanism in times of failure and hardship.</p>
<p>To be honest, marriage sounds really boring, and I don't know if I ever want to get married, although my bf did propose.</p>

311...Easier said than done. I never thought I would be in a position like this, and it was easy for me to saying something similar to that effect in high school, but yeah, getting older=epiphanies of all sorts.

<p>Personal integrity is easier said than done? If you have committed yourself to a relationship, and your communication within that relationship leads the other party to believe that you have all intentions on loyalty, then your integrity is at stake.... nothing more, nothing less. It's your wake, you create it, you live with it. Honesty, however, is the best policy in most cases... I say most, because abuse in a relationship does justify lying... if you are going out and making out with other guys, then that's cool as long as you aren't leading someone to think you're not... see how that works? It's all about your own personal integrity.</p>
<p>hey quick newbe question, how do refresh this thread. I keep having to leave thread and re click on it</p>

Uh, it doesn't take a person with divorced parents to realize that the world is not full of peace, happiness, and soulmates. This isn't Disneyland.

<p>Again, you seem to be pretty much the only person I've ever encountered who thinks that I think that, just because you know that I think that not absolutely everyone would cheat on a partner (and relatively nothing else about me).</p>

<p>There's various forms of integrity. For example, integrity in work/school is different from integrity in a relationship. Take me for example. I have never, ever cheated in school and would not contemplate it. However, I have made out with guys while dating someone else. Maybe Freud will say it's because I hate males, my parents' divorce, long-distance mumbo, or whatnot, but yeah..you can't group integrity together. There are various factors that play into something--like childhood experiences. All I can say is, my dad abused my mother, and I have no faith in marriage. Peace.</p>

<p>Well, sure, some people won't. But a lot of people hecka do. And, I've caught my bf lying about calling another girl "honey" too. It something stupid over the internet, but I found out. People lie...and people say "sure there's no relationship without trust" but blah. I love him, he loves me, and we have both lied to each other. It's just easier to draw boundaries and such, but in reality things are not that lucid.</p>
<p>NeedAdvice, it's your wake, your reputation, just know that you may have to face it straight on one day... and that's your fault, and your problem... always keep that in mind when you make rash excuses about what you do.</p>
<p>311--It's my personal love life. People have no business butting in.</p>
