Study finds link between psychopathy and Tinder while in a committed relationshi - Sensationalist Headlines

Considering the ":/" you used I don't see that as being very fair, I agree that it will need to be 1-1 as well to make it not only fair but to find out the reality of the situation you are both in

Regardless of what causes is be an adult and take care of the issue. If you cannot do that just end it and move on. Using negative factors of the relationship is to just make excuses for cheating. No relationship is perfect, it is going to come with good and bad. Someone cannot seriously say "We're trying to work things out" and then turn around and have a side chick. Cheating undermines the fundamental trust and respect for a person and the relationship. When you find out people cheat, you find out really quickly that they've lied about a lot of things.

My ex girlfriend of 3 years used tinder constantly in the last year of our relationship. She was not a sexual person, at all, which caused alot of issues for me after 3 years of having sex maybe one a month if I was lucky. She would scroll through tinder and get people to spill all their guts on the table for her, judging who they were as a character and getting their life story from them. She found it "amazing" and "fun". She also received love letters from ex uni friends who would give her all this colourful romance shit that she was into. I didn't mind, for some reason, she was getting something that I wasn't able to provide her, I find love letters and the like, especially written like the letters she was getting are awkward and cringy. Eventually I cheated on her sexually one night, there wasn't any sex in the relationship for some months prior and I still loved her, I just wasn't getting what I needed and she wasn't getting what she needed so I justified it to myself that it was OK. Living with the guilt afterward wasn't nice though and I've made sure to rectify the thought patterns I had so I wouldn't do it again. Things can be very complex, I loved this girl, I sat with her when she was ill and guided her back onto her feet at the expense of alot of my own shit. To her sex was trivial, as it was to me, although we were not in an open relationship, she didn't care all that much when I told her, she feigned some sort of outrage but she was smiling all the while in disbelief that I did it. She was crying when I left a month or two later. This thread kinda reeks of people who haven't held a stable relationship for a long time. Men fight the urge to cheat all the time, many fail. If you aren't in a good relationship your mind will find a way. When I was a teenager I strutted around claiming cheaters are cunts, my father was one and caused a lot of heartache in the family. Funny how things turn out, you never know whats going on in a persons life or relationship and I'll say what I said when Dr. Disrespect cheated on his wife. Leave your judgement to yourself if you don't hold the facts, you are not a saint, you just haven't been tested yet.

Hey, I wasn't actually passing any judgement and never said that people who cheat are shitty people or anything like that. In my mind I was just poking fun at geel's post (it read funny to me). I might have made a generalisation sort of agreeing with the study. I understand that infidelity can be complex and people cheat for different reasons. I've friends who have cheated on their partnrts, some of them selfishly, some for more complicated reasons. I don't really think any of them are psychopathic and it doesn't affect how I see them. Although I do have a friend with a big ego who might be on the way. Regarding your ex, it sounds complicated. Your ex's behaviour with Tinder and the love letters does sound somewhat psychopathic, as if she enjoyed having the power over the boys to get them to reveal deeply personal stuff (I may be reading into that too much). I don't know how that would make me feel if my partner was doing that, probably a little bit hurt especially if they were sexual, all the while you had a non existent sex life. Which brings me to the other point, I get what your saying not having sex for months, especially with that person you love. That would be torture. The same for your dad, I've know how much alcoholism absolutely destroys lives and you lose the person you knew to it.

Don't worry, my main point was in response to your question of why people in a relationship might use cheater, I had a good example to give. I just got carried away with the story and decided to explain all of it.

Is it my fault that you hadn't considered that not every relationship is monogamous...?

I mean "I guess poly people really are psychos after-all" is a cute tongue-in-cheek zinger at best and while it would be nice for polyamorous representation in studies and such, genuinely going up and saying "well aktchually" is pretty dumb.

No one is forced into being in a relationship

You don't think it's important that an entirely different set of circumstances that could lead someone to use Tinder while in a committed relationship be considered in such a study?

Since polyamorous people are such a significantly small minority, as well as the fact that such negligence would absolutely not lead to increased oppression of polyamourous people, and any issues can be wiped clear with "I'm actually poly, and here's the okay from my partner if it makes you feel better:" not that important. Literally the only thing missing is an asterisk saying "*this study pertains to monogamous people only, aka, the only people where using Tinder whilst in a relationship is suspicious."

Again, there's more than polyamory.

Open relationships, what have you. Non-monogamy. Now, you're just being nitpicky about terms and semantics without any practical purpose.

Perhaps you're using terms irresponsibly and being surprised when people point out that your conclusions don't follow from what you've provided.

I mean we could just call him Anthony Burch. But to add some value to my extremely insensitive shitpost. I dated someone who was poly for a decent amount of time. We talked about it early on, and she did not pursue another partner while we were dating. If you aren't feeling happy about where this is going, talk to her. It's ok to not be ok with that.

See, this is what I found funny about your post. "Is it my fault that you hadn't considered..." Do you realise how much of a bell that makes you sound? It reads as if you were the only person to have ever had that consideration. Just another genius insight from the mind of geel. I honestly don't know if it's actually your posts, or just your avatar (or maybe both) but your posts often have a weirdly smug "I am very smart" feel to them, while at the same time you actually give of an air of not being as experienced or worldly as you'd like to think. "Is it my fault..." Jesus fucking wept

lmao that was sad to read

You know, I actually totally get that. I'm not Casanova, but in my life the only romantic relationships that have lasted are ones that began as friendships. With the prerequisite sexual tension, of course. If you put something stupid like 'looking for love' on a dating profile, you're bound to attract the wrong sort of attention, from people who are somewhat desperate, get in touch with you hoping that if you respond and the two of you get along some storybook romance will magically materialize, and everything will be great. Folks who enter relationships with the expectation of love almost always end up crashing and burning. Better to make friends first, find out if you really click with someone, and decide where things go from there together. Take things slow. So when I see a dating profile that says 'only looking for friends' I think "hmm, they're experienced or more likely to be emotionally mature."

Still can't believe some guys fall for the open relationship meme. I want to see season 2 when he tries to match her success on tinder.

should sign up for the carl weathers acting course

I mean, while on one hand yeah, you could assume that she is using it specifically to cheat on him and feel alright about it, it could just be the fact that he just hasn't had luck finding partners. I mean, just because you can, doesn't mean you will. I guess the easiest solution for such matters would be trying to find someone you both would include in a threesome, but that comes with another problem - if you like one person, your partner may not find them interesting, and vice-versa. Honestly, you're just being dicks to the dude.

Some don't even know they're in an open relationship Always neat when a chick tells you they're in an OR and they dip out and hide talking to you when their husbands home

I mean, that's great. Not only is she lying to her SO, she is also lying to you. Hope you check yourself for STDs ASAP.

I definitely could've been nicer, that's my bad. What I mean is that if he gets it to 1-1 and she doesn't flip her shit at him, then he really does have the relationship he thinks he has. I am making a rude assumption though, but that doesn't make his post look less self delusional, simply because there's dozens of similar stories out there already.

I wasn't trying to be a dick. I was stating that to be 1-1 is fair? How is it not, you say he could but "may not be interested" makes no sense. Hook-up with someone see how it goes, if you fail try again On the other hand if this is fine with you then fair enough, I just have difference of opinion towards my relatiosnhip
