Just an ordinary average guy. Mr. Dawg believes that sometimes our priorities are just a little screwed up. So grab a beer and take in a little "Redneck Philosophy"

I heard yesterday an amazing stat. Over 70% of all marriages end up with one or the other partner getting involved in an affair. I want to know, who would keep you faithful if you were lucky enough to have this person as a spouse.

Don't waste my time with the self-rightious hogwash. I'll give you my pick in one week.

No "self-ritieous" answers? So, if I read this correctly, you are only looking for answers from the cheaters. The problem with this question, as I see it, is that a cheater is going to cheat regardless of who they are with. There is always someone better. And if there isn't, time makes everyone less attractive and brings in new contenders to lust after. Perhaps a better wording would be a more clear "who would you most like to be in a long-term monogamous relationship with?"
To a non-cheater (who will mostly be discouraged from answering due to your wording), the commitment they have made is it's own enforcement. It doesn't matter to whom. It's their word and honor. To that 30% of humanity, truth actually means something.

I'm faithful to my husband. It's not difficult. It's called self-control and commitment. I find it sad that someone would need a celebrity spouse in order to keep their wedding vows. Kudos to Zack Sweden for hitting the nail on the head.

ditto.....well to my wife anyways. I've been married eight and a half years now, and it's simple. You decide not to cheat, and then you don't cheat. If you cheat you know you're wrong, and any excuse you give is mere justification. If you can't stay with the one you're married to, well, then you can't.

But have the balls to seperate first; don't try to have your cake and run around behind it's back with a box of Crispy Cremes too.

Almost 11 years of marriage, 12 of being together, 7 deployments and one year long remote tour.....I think that counts as monogamy.

A girl I've known since I was 16 (nearly 10 years). Beautiful, intelligent, never a dull moment and sharp as a tack. The type of woman that makes 'checking out' other women seem like a pointless waste of time.

My husband. Partly because he would never cheat on me. I know there are a million other reasons, but this mutual committment helps. I happen to have a pretty low self-esteem, and I expect him to cheat on me. He is stubborn and wants to prove me wrong.

My husband once told me something amazing:
"Some men leave gigantic legends when they die. Ronald Reagan was the Great Communicator. Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon. I want to be Chris M, the man who never cheated on his wife."

That says it all.

Short answer ... me. It's simple, I don't cheat and it's not because my mate might know, but because I would know.

Self righteous? Maybe. But I gave up making my decisions based on other people's opinions of me long ago.

Sorry, but here's another self-righteous answer: me. Simply put, you can come up any excuse as to what made you decide to cheat. But the bottom line is...you made the decision to cheat. Nobody can "make" you cheat, only you can make that decision.

Again, you can come up with a reason to cheat, but do you really need a reason not to cheat?

well it looks like no one else wants to play your little game Mr Dawg... since I'm single, I figure its ok for me to venture out there and guess... Sarah Maclachlan.  (did i spell that right?)  There.  I said it. 


oh, and I recently met someone new that has a ton of potential.  If things work out the way I hope they do, I'll be faithful to her.  Come to think of it, she looks a little bit like Sarah... hehehe

Kinda makes you wonder who all the 70% are.

Well, if we're going to play this game, I'll bite. If I were not married to my wife right now, my choice would have to be Norah Jones.

She's smart, talented, beautiful, a musician, has a great voice and I've got a huge crush on her.
