CDing keeps me faithful...not the other way around

[ReineD]

Women DO seem to like romance more than men.

We like to have romance WITH our men. Or femmes.

Edited to add:

If people satisfy their needs by resorting to other outlets whether it be crossdressing or books then so be it. It is NOT necessary to believe your partner must deliver everything you want nor is it remotely realistic. Relationships work on many levels in many ways so I don't see the point in criticizing other people's relationships when you don't know the first thing about them. It just leads to lots of judgmental point scoring which this thread contains plenty of examples of.

While it is true that no one, not even the closest partner can meet all our needs, I still would not like to be in such a distant relationship where we each got our romantic or sexual needs met elsewhere. Even if the void was filled with other things than an affair, such as romance books, porn, or CDing ...... or religion, booze, food, gambling, shopping, workaholism, friends we are closer to than our SOs, hiding behind our children's needs, or a myriad other ways to not have an open, honest, loving, and intimate relationship.
