So if your girlfriend shagged someone else, but told you it was just fun
you'd be fine with that?

I love the dialectative re-spelling of Chill
to make Chiw.

Yep
Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

[Edit] I should add that my original observation was from the point of view of a single person having a relationship with someone already attached. As long as you don't know their partner and are prepared to be quite callous and pragmatic then I say "go for it," though some background research into who exactly their partner is might be a good idea.

i.e. not the girlfriend of a bare knuckle fighter
your p.o.v. shares some incredible reemblances to my current predicament

That's pretty much
What I was driving at- namely that he's not a violent psycho and that you aren't going to be putting your life in danger.

Up to you then
If you can cope with being constantly strung along with a series of false promises and constantly having your hopes built up and dashed then go ahead. I'm not saying that will happen but I would give it a minimum of 95% certainty.

It ends up in PAIN.
But I can see your reasoning.

Simply being prepared to do something doesn't make it right.
I never thought of "callous" as a particularly virtuous thing to be.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 20:57, archived)

It's not
I'm not talking about virtue- just that sometimes it can be best to end a relationship abruptly rather than drag things out and ultimately cause a lot more pain, both to yourself and the other party.

not really sure it's your place
to end someone else's relationship in such a manner.

but I appreciate the compassionate sentiment.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 21:09, archived)

As the single party
The only relationship that you're ending is the one between you and the attached person. If they're going to stay attached and it's going to get emotionally messy then it's better to walk away. If their other relationship ends then that's not your problem- they should not have got involved in the first place and it would be their looking to have an affair that ended it- after all if it hadn't been you it would more than likely have been someone else.
