Where do guys that think like that even come from? Am I just out of touch from being at a large university for the past couple of years? I just don't remember ever knowing any men that had that viewpoint remotely.

Bottom line: this shite goes both ways. Relationships and marriage are great, but problems and cheating are bound to ensue if either partner feels like they're not being taken care of sexually.

Well little sammy. It's more of a really old stereotype from the past. I said it with sarcasm to go with that old man's cavemen point of views. .. since u have been at a "large university" for the past couple of years I would say it compares with the younger generations "make me a sammich woman" stereotype. The reason you havnt ever met a person with that point of view is because your parents were probably still boning each other in the back of cars when the last one died... geez youngen. .. learn sarcasm. ...

It also says to to kill your family if they worship other gods, and to kill women who are not virgins when they marry, and to kill homosexuals, and so on and so forth.
I'm not going to get in a theological discussion on these issues. I'll just say this, the reason the second covenant through Jesus is so much different than the original covenant through Abraham is one was a set of rules for defining a relationship with God, one was a set of rules regarding laws of a country. 2 completely separate entities.
I'm going to leave it at that. I could discuss this for literally hours on end. My dad is a pastor. I went to school originally to be a youth pastor. I just decided to switch my degree to theology.
That discussion is not what the Rant is for. Carry on.

So ladies, if your man fricked that "stripper in that hotel room 10 years ago" you just need to stop focusing on that and focus on the good things about your man to make it all go away.
Honestly, if it was ten years ago and you're still married after all this time, then you've already said everything there is to say and it's time to focus on the good things and shut up about it already. If you can't do that after 10 freaking years, you should have been divorced a long damn time ago.

I agree wholeheartedly (hence my earlier post about not getting married until you're good and ready). It's just funny to me that "fixing it" is completely put on the wife who didn't cheat to begin with.

I briefly (very briefly) dated a guy who thought like this. The funny thing is it wasn't until about the 3rd date or so that he really started to spout a lot of the stuff he did. He got really, really offended when I made the comment that I was pursuing a career in Counseling and informed me that "no wife of his" will be working. That they will "stay at home, have my kids, and do what the Bible intended them to do". I was pretty taken aback by it because he had seemed pretty normal up to that point and was a well-educated guy so it wasn't like he had been holed up in a holler somewhere.
I ran into one of his friends recently and apparently he married some gold digging broad (he's a lawyer) who ended up cheating on him and taking him for a ride in their divorce (Kentucky is a no fault state).
ETA: He also didn't care for the fact that I called him out on his hypocritical bullshite of excusing sex before marriage because it was convenient for him, but "following" the rest of the Bible so stringently.

Karma's a bitch.
It is sad, but there are still many out there like that. I about blew a gasket not too long ago when talking with a manager at my company. He was inferring that it was bullshite that women got to take paid maternity leave, and that back in the day you would not have a job if you tried to do something like that. He went on to infer that women were complainers, whiners, etc. My reply to him was that back in his day, women were only limited to the fields of teaching, nursing, and secretarial work, and that I would have been happy to have my husband carry the child, but it just wasn't physically possible. Times have changed, DWI.

Cheating is usually a sign of deeper issues in the relationship. Thus it almost always is the fault of both people because they obviously can't communicate for shite. If you can't talk to your spouse then why are you married?
Also, he's not exactly wrong here. If you have a good sex life, both partners will be less likely to cheat, especially if you combine it with intimacy and good communication. However, all the communication in the world won't save a relationship if there is no sex. No sex = dead romance = dead relationship.

I think most people would agree with this.
The problem is that he's putting responsibility completely on the women to remedy these issues in the relationship. As if she just spreads her legs a little more, cooks a little more often, irons his clothes, and shuts up and sits pretty then that will makes the issue go away. That's ridiculous. For all we know maybe the reason she's not doing those things is because he's not contributing to their relationship either.

This is true of every situation I've ever known of when someone has either cheated or been cheated on.
