Can Men Be Faithful?
I was chilling (pronounced 'chewing') in Starbucks Gurney earlier, enjoying my Rhumba Frappucino when I came across an article in a men's mag about office relationships.
The title was nicely put,'Working Laid'....working late,get it?;)
Cant for the life of me remember what was the name of that mag, though.
The author mentioned that 2 of his buddies have had affairs in the office before, and that they were already in somewhat 'stable' relationships.
Got me wondering...
I asked a friend what she'd do if she found out that her partner slept with someone, say in an unplanned, unconscious, unexpected scenario. She said she'd leave him.
Me: But what if it was just once?One stupid mistake...and he's really,really sorry?
Friend: Nope....too bad...I'll be sad,but I'll leave...
Me:What if it was partly coz you're not 'providing' him satisfaction in that area n he faltered and gave in to temptation just once?
Friend:Then he's obviously not good enough for me...
Che wahh...
Me: Do you think its possible for guys to be in a relationship for a long time without slipping?
Friend:Our dads can...
Me:I'm talking bout the guys we date la,nut...our generation...
Friend: I dont know, I dont think so....
Me:What if he was your husband?
Friend:Do I have kids?
Me: Yeah...
Friend: Then he's gonna be sleeping outside...coz i dont want my children to come from a broken home...
Me: But it'll still be broken if you're not talking to each other...ok,what if you dont have kids?
Friend:I'm gonna go stay with my mommy....
Then the same conversation took place again,roles reversed...
I said that I'd give him a second shot. Give him the benefit of the doubt. Once.
If he screws up again...too bad for him.Ta ta..schweets!
Then she askes me,"But wont you be living in worry?That he's probably doing it again?"
"Nah...He's got a brain...he better use it to his advantage.He knows what he's doing,so does the Big Guy up there...whatever he does to me the second time is gonna comeback a hundredfold..."
So....yeah...can guys really be faithful? I've known too many that aren't, and it doesnt seem like they can change...
You know how they say, even the most professional cassanova can change when the right woman comes along?
Looking around today...it's a notion hard to buy...

Ermm.. firstly, a hie from me.Well, the question in the topic seems to be interesting. If the question is pointed at me, then well, not because i'm a guy, and i side guys. And this is theorically of my thought. Yea, it's true, "too many that aren't"(faithful guy i suppose), but there are still faithful guys out there. I do know some friends, male yea, and they are really faithful(except peeping on girls la... that's different case). They never thought of having another gal, even they always complaint of their current one.
Sorry for my bad english, it's worst, i know, sorry.
i've never been in a relationship before, but i think generally the vast majority of men are faithful (or at least that's what i'd like to believe). of course, there are some rotten apples in the basket, i do know a couple of guys who have had intimate affairs with other girls despite having girlfriends already. besides, some of the girls i know are two-timing their boyfriends too, so i guess this works both ways.
am i missing the point? hahaha.
okay, here's my answer to your question. yes, i think guys can really be faithful *terms applied*.
