I just cheated on my wife, now I am depressed, what should I do?

[Chuckup]

I know I shouldn't have done it, but she drove me to it. I couldn't help myself, the urge to cheat was so great. Now I'm soooo depressed and I don't think I can bring myself to play another game of crib with her without thinking about cheating points from her!

[LittleApple81]

1. She drove you to it? n/t

[Chuckup]

3. I havent been able to

win a game for several days, I couldn't bear it anymore, I pegged extra points I shouldn't have!

[oneighty]

2. One of

these days when she clobbers you over the head with the board and breaks all the little pins off in your skull, you will cheat no more. Until then: Good luck.

Been there.

180

[Nikia]

4. That's funny

Just don't let it happen again.

[TahitiNut]

5. If she doesn't count

... the points, they're yours for the counting. Thems the rules.

[Pale Blue Dot]

6. You're playing with fire.

Soon she may be looking for other cribbage boards with longer pegs.

[bearfan454]

7. Wrong.

You don't do that. If you are married to someone and you love them then you do not get any strange. Know what I mean ?

[Old and In the Way]

15. Ahhh, re-read the post again...:-)

Hey Chuckup, TN is correct, your conscience is clear. A major tenant of cribbage is taking the points that your opponent misses.

Dem's da rules....

[La_Serpiente]

8. First of all

Your wife didn't drive you to anything...you drove yourself.

If there is a problem in your relationship, you really need to talk to her and communicate about it. If it is irreconciable, then I reccomend that you two separate to cool off.

I also reccomend that you seek counseling alone and then go into counseling together.

[Chuckup]

9. It was only 12 points in all

I really don't want to separate over 12 points.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

10. I think we're talking about cribbage n/t

[JVS]

11. Cheating is cool!

[metisnation]

12. yes good advice

counseling in the only way to go to cure this horrible affliction you have. Have you considered acupunture or sensory deporvation?

buck fush

[VelmaD]

13. Advice from my father...

My Dad has 2 maxims to live your life by.

1. "If you ain't cheating, you aint' trying."

2. "Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat."

[Richardo]

34. Yeah - let's all live by those maxims. We can ALL be Republicans...

that's the lamest shit I've ever heard, if he's serious.

[monkeyboy]

14. Cheating is a natural, evolutionary thing

Studies have shown that men cheat only slightly more than women. Dude, I'm sure she's been doing some pegging of her own...

[DS1]

16. hilarious how people skip right over the important word

Hell, I'd say some of the responders didn't even read it at all :7

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. Yes, some people go for the emotional crap side

without ever bothering to actually read what's being said by the person.

When I'm speaking to people, I would rather that they LISTEN to me fully than that they are able to offer "advice" or something else. Just HEAR me.

That means - READ THE WHOLE POSTS!

Woo hoo!!

[Deja Q]

17. And you cheated us out of a great infidelity story!

Shame on you! :P

:D

[donsu]

18. divorce and stop living a lie

nt

[catmandu57]

19. Join the republican party

then you can cheat all you want and never be depressed.

[lumpy]

20. Don't try to ease your conscience by telling her about it.

She probably has enough trouble putting up with your lousy habits without adding to her misery. If you keep cheating, let her have the pleasure of finding it out on her own. Intrigue is fun isn't it? Why don't you find a hobby instead of concentrating on your sorry little dick.

[underpants]

21. Win if you can lose if you must but ALWAYS cheat

That is one of the sayings I am collecting to teach our children when we have some.

"Trying is the first step towards failure" is another one.

:bounce:

You had me there for a minute. Funny.

[DS1]

26. It is?

:evilgrin:

This thread is hilarious btw

[underpants]

27. Homer said it was

and Homer is not a satire of the American male he is the messenger of what to do and think. It's working.

[havocmom]

28. yes, it is

Now if we could just get some exploding cupcakes of mass destruction in here....

[speckledgator]

22. Two words

Fatal Attraction

[lumpy]

23. I committed the eighth deadly sin.

Drawing the wrong conclusion based on faulty suspicion. I'm sorry. Now if Dubya would only say he's sorry he'd be in good company.

[eauclaireliberal]

24. "You Bastard!"

From now on, its solitare for YOU, young man!
LOL

[SOteric]

25. You've gotta even it up, buddy!

Next time you sit down to a game of cribbage or a few hands of Yahtzee, throw the game her way a little just to even the score.

[HEyHEY]

29. You dirty dirty bastard

You broke the crib-code and disgraced the game....if you won, good for you! Real winners cheat...it's the only way to insure you win!

[salin]

30. bwahahaha.... a peg here.... a little cheat there... tsk tsk...

needed a laugh today - this thread - but more some of its responses - both the... er... cheated... and those in on the cheat (some clever wordsters among us) - just cracked me up.

Will check back later to see if it remains so amusing.

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. From a psuedo-professional ethics person, let me say this:

I can only say this: Hey, if she ain't bothering to count your score, too, then she deserves to be had with a few extra points thrown your way.

I don't think of it as you cheating, I think of it as her not paying enough attention to what's happening. One's opponent's score is also one's duty. Whenever she finds out, she will have experienceda tremendous learning moment, and will never be had that way again.

Sometimes you only learn when you put your hand on the burner.

Good for you!!

[Robb]

33. Just remember:

That all-important saying for a good relationship (or cribbage game):

"Compromise is for quitters."

:evilgrin:

[BloodyWilliam]

35. I really want to hit you now.

:silly:

[Room101]

36. Cheat again; it gets easier with countless repetition.

:)
