Love Affair

So has anyone been keeping up with the tabloids lately? It turns out that LeAnn Rimes was having an affair with the hot Eddie Cibrian, lol. I never would have thought someone so innocent as LeAnn Rimes would fall for such temptation. Anyway this brings up the topic of: affairs. Whether physical or emotional, how much tolerance does society have for such things. There are open relationships out there. More and more people have grown tolerant and using excuses to justify their actions. Let's list them down shall we.

Excuses why people have an affair:

Failing Relationship - One of the common causes of why people turn to affairs is a failing relationship. Instead of trying to work on their current one, they just up and leave, and cling to the next one. As if jumping on other people's cock will solve the problem.

Statistics - "Everyone does it". I mean 50% of relationships go down the drain anyway so why not just "go with the flow".

Morally Bankrupt - People just do it because they want to have fun and get away with it. "If my boyfriend doesn't know it won't hurt him. It's none of his business anyway".

It's Become A Norm - Sometimes people who have affairs think it's a normal thing. Perhaps because of society or maybe even brought up in that environment where affairs have become a norm. I mean if nobody is fighting it, everyone is accepting it.

Selfish Carnal Needs - "I just want sex with other people". Perhaps they weren't satisfied in bed and looked for something bigger... errr better.

Adrenaline - It's that rush you get when you know when you're doing something that you're not suppose to. As some might put it "spontaneous".

I've heard my share of excuses from past relationships. It doesn't change the fact that it fucked me up in the head. But as I grow older, I don't necessarily grow wiser- I grow distant from what I've always believed in.

Perhaps I'm just being "real" with the community that I surround myself in even when I think that a person is different from all others, they are usually like the rest.
