If you cheated would it be a violation vows? What if you had a long romantic conversation with a stranger? Would it make it better if your partner apologized when he/she did it? Your take.

How 'bout all of the above? Anything 'romantic' or 'sexual' would be a violation IMO.

Checking on hooker prices? Violation
Phone sex? Violation
Cyber sex? Violation

Romantic 'anything and up would be a violation.
 
Well, speaking from a mans perspective, you are always going to be looking and desiring on some primal level, other women.

But if you actively engage in activities that involve other women ( or dudes ) on a romantic level, then its a violation of your marriage vows, if thats in fact what your vows meant. Sometimes people remain faithful to each other, but go to group orgies and what not, so it depends on the couple I guess.
 
Didn't a guy in Illinois win a lawsuit against a guy who was having an affair with his wife recently?

That oughta make those type of guys who like hunting for married women in bars and other places stop and check their pocket books first, huh? I used to run around with a guy or two like that before I got married. I just never got into wanting to bang another guys wife...
 
I had to vote other because all of the above are a violation IMO.
 
Well obviously a BJ is not. Ya think a PJ would be exempt also? :tongue4:
 
Obviously depends on the couple since it is they who define their own marriage outside of the purely legal context.

I agree. If a couple gets married and both have decided on the ability to be sexual or romantic with other people then none of the above apply.

Personally in my marriage anything romantic or sexual with another person would be wrong. However, lusting over others is accepted as a normal part of life, acting on those temptations or becoming obsessed is not accepted.
 
There is nothing wrong with thoughts, as long as actions are not undertaken. No one gets punished for thoughtcrime.

That would depend upon what your 'marriage vows" are.
That is really between the two parties involved in the marriage: rules vary from one married couple to the next.
Some people have open marriages; this works for some people.
Obviously, they are not 'breaking their vows" if monogamy was not part of the vows they made to one another.
Nearly all marriages, even open ones, have rules of one sort or another, but the rules vary from one marriage to another, depending upon what the two parties involved feel comfortable with. So, what entails a 'breaking" of the rules or a breaking of trust in a marriage depends upon what the rules or boundaries were in the first place.
Rules, both formal and informal/implicit, also tend to evolve- either in the direction of becoming more lax or, conversely, becoming more stringent- over the years.
 
Anytime that you would need to lie to your spouse would be a violation of the vows you took.

At Lowe's we call them "code 5"s.

In a most serious and professional tone: "Attention Lowe's associates, Bob in out-door power equipment to block isle 4, code 5; Bob in our door-power equipment to block isle 4, code 5, thank you."
