OK. Need you all to put yourself in a HYPOTHETICAL situation... Got it?

You dated your spouse for years before you guys got married. You get married, have a kid or two ... or twelve. THEN as you are sitting behind the computer or at your mail box and you get a mysterious E-Mail or Letter that says your spouse cheated on you when you were dating. You confront her or him and there is silence... or confirmation.

What do you do?

How do you react?

Does your trust of your significant other change?


I just LOVE these Mindf*ck posts. Its one of those "just suppose" questions. If any of you have a real life scenario that really happened, what happened?

Dating?  No, wouldn't make any diff to me UNLESS there was a commitment in place between the two at that time.

Dating implies that the two of you were still in the "search" phase.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Yeah but all this time she was hiding it from you... a dirty little secret. When you and your wife were in a fight, was she thinking... "Asshole... Im GLAD I fucked Larry now."

It means you have a 'coupon'.  You get to cheat one time without guilt.

My first wife did--but I didn't find out until after we were divorced.  My mother and brother just HATED her--and I never knew why.  After we were divorced (for other reasons) my brother finally told me she had a boyfriend who literally ducked out the front door as I entered the back.  It turns out most everyone knew but me--my brother, his wife, my mother, grandparents, HER parents (who I was very close to, and am still on very friendly terms with), and most of the church we attended.  I was FURIOUS no one told me.  To this day (we divorced in 1985), I don't think she knows I know.  



What reason did they give for not telling you!?!

Because if they told him, She would deny it. He would believe her and she would make him write off his family.  [Yoda]Very powerful this 'pussy'[/Yoda}

If you were dating and went forward onto engagment then marriage , it should have been disclosed.

DATING is NOT Married.  

If she did it, I wouldn't want to know, especially after years of marriage and kids.  

And she should not be told of any of my transgressions either if the same circumstance.  

Why dredge all that up only to cause the other person pain?

Was she dating a man or a woman? Because the latter could be a FMF...... I know I know, hit her in the pooper and post the pics!

On the serious side, i fthe dating occured in the begining of the relationship, that would be one thing, and if there was a deep commitment by her after this occured, it is best talked about and left alone.

If it was long in the past I would blow it off and let it go. We are both different people today than we were years ago...and if she did back then, its in the past and over with. If it was recent....or since we got married...divorce...no other questions asked, just get the FK OUT!!!

Something that happened before we got engaged is old news...but after that ring went on her finger....there would be no excuse that I could accept. The marriage would be over at the same time the conversation was. Period.

Why would it be a problem now? Well, if your spouse cheated on you when you were dating, they might be cheating on you now. Unless of course, if your wife screwing other guys is ok with you, then you wouldn't have a problem at all.
