this really gets my goat (relationship).

Just to be clear, I'm agreeing with Saint and Cheffo on this. You can't force her.

shmokes:
Yeah . . . the green eyed monster can get you into trouble.  I don't mean to say that there are not certain boundaries that should not be crossed.  If your wife/girlfriend is hardcore flirting with someone in front of you or in front of mutual friends/coworkers, that's humiliating and you shouldn't suffer through something like that in silence.  But if your girl is going to cheat on you or leave you there is nothing you can do to stop it, but many things you can do to encourage it, and one of those things, often enough, is trying to stop it.  And nobody is made more miserable by jealousy than the jealous person.  If you aren't able to let this go you're just gonna cause yourself a lot of heartache that doesn't accomplish a thing (though could very easily ruin your relationship over a guy who is probably not even a real threat).

OTOH, women are complex creatures.  I've met plenty who deliberately do things to make their boyfriends jealous and are insulted if it doesn't work.  So I dunno if inaction is always the best response. :dunno

For my part, I think that if my wife ever cheated on me I'd rather never find out.  I'm not at all sure I'd leave her.  That would depend on the circumstances of the infidelity.  But it would always be out there . . . something that could just pop into my mind at any given time to cause resentment.  So, first, I hope she's always faithful.  But, barring that, I hope she's always discreet.   ;D

ahofle:
This is probably pretty crappy, but I would have kept quiet and checked her sent items for a bit before saying anything to her.  Maybe she would have told him to leave her alone anyway.

TOK:
I would be hoping she ran away with him so I could have more room for arcade games and motorcycles.
Does this make me a bad person? Nah!  :cheers:
