Men who cheat on their wives more likely to die of a heart attack

[Wind Song]

Men who cheat on their wives are more likely to have a heart attack. That's the topic.

No mention of homosexual or lesbian marriage. No mention of Buddhism. No mention of feminism.

How am I being narrow minded? Do you think only men's needs in a heterosexual relationship count?

Some men cheat first, and then the woman turns off them sexually out of anger.

Do only women's needs in a homosexual relationship count? Oh, wait...

Do only one partner's needs count in a queer relationship?

Or are you continually trying to put "heterosexual" in there as if queers don't have issues? Then again, I suppose just becoming a queer is an issue that trumps all normal people's issues combined!

Oh well, overcome and adapt!

Do you think only the womans needs need to be met? How do you know the men don't "cheat" out of anger of having love and affection being withheld?

I didn't start this thread. The OP is clearly about heterosexual marriages. I have no problem with that. You are the one who brought up queers in this thread. I didn't.

No, I didn't say that only the woman's need count in a heterosexual marriage. The OP is about the fact that men who cheat die of heart attacks sooner. The motive for cheating is irrelevant to the research.

Sure, I admit I brought it up - since you continually toss out "heterosexual" as if it's a bad word. You can either acknowledge, or continue to dance and avoid, but either way I get the facts in.

No...see...life in a homosexual relationship is all butterflies and rainbows. No domestic violence...no with holding of sex and affection..and definately no cheating....nada.

Yet, didn't you refer to the heart attacks as karma?

Can you quote from the article where it states it is solely referring to "heterosexuals"?

Life in a homosexual or lesbian relationship isn't the topic. The topic is that men who cheat on their wives get heart attacks.

Cheating is a universal relationship phenomena and gays and lesbians deal with it too. We weren't studied in the OP.

Domestic violence also occurs in gay and lesbian relationships.

I stayed as long as I could. I raised two children and started a business. The way I coped with the rejection from her was to seek sex and intimacy outside the marriage. The most important issue for me in my value system was to take care of my family. I did that. Now that I have met my obligations I am going to live my life and try to find happiness. This OP is about me in every way. And yes it is stressful for some of us, its literally killing us( health wise) to be trapped in a loveless existence and be honor bound to do the right thing for our children.

I think it is commendable that you were honor bound to do right by your kids and see that aspect through...even though the marriage didn't last. My husband wrote off his kids finacially,physically...pretty much all the way actually... the day we parted.

All those things are worse in homosexual worlds, 'cept you can add in 'denial', followed by some sort of disease.

Yes, I did. But what karma means to you and karma means to me are different. To you, karma is punishment. To me, karma is cause and effect. The stress of cheating on your spouse is hard on the heart. That's karma, cause and effect. It isn't a moralistic judgment or punishment--that's a Judeo Christian view, not a Buddhist view.

It's not irrelevant to the discussion, however, since I brought it up.
