Ethos violations suck!

[Back to being Cenanuff]

Right, so there's this girl at work, married with two kids, that I think is trying to go my way. She's always up for chatting with me, comes by and boob-hugs my cubicle a couple times a day, doesn't seem to mind that I'm staring, plus she's a real sweetie...and a redhead, boy do love redheads. So me, her, and a couple other people were chatting around, talking about being married and such, and she made a point to mention that things weren't quite working out with her husband. Here's the issue: not only do I have the utmost respect for the institution of marriage, to the point where I will not take part in any adultery under any circumstances, I will also refuse to be the other man, having been cheated on in my previous marriage. It just sucks that I could totally tap that, and can't/won't, because she's married. Doesn't stop me from thinking naughty thoughts about her, though.

Just do it. You'll be dead and gone a hundred years from now and nothing you did in your life will matter.

Things are not often so cut and dry anymore. People, they have excess baggage these days. You think this woman worth it? Come down from your tower. You think it important to respect a marriage, regardless of its nature? Cool, but be prepared to forfeit your opportunity.

Personally, I tend to side with you, but I'm not unflappable. I've seen too much.
