If you take care of business at home they have no need to go anywhere else LOL.

Hehe..you keep telling yourself that... 😛


but seriously...sometimes it's just so hard to resist temptation....especially if you're drinking/drunk.

Alcohol only makes it easier to do things you want to do anyway, but your "ethics" keeps you in check. If you don't want to do those things, all the alcohol in the world will not change it.

For example, do you think you would have sex with animals or kids if you were "drunk enough?????"
I thought not.

No..probably not. But when you are drunk...you are less able to distinguish between what is right and wrong and are more susceptible to being influenced to do something you would NEVER do sober.

For example...any person in their right mind would know that running into a wall is bad...but when that person is drunk and is told by someone to do it....he'll do it b/c he's not thinking properly enough to realize that he could do great damage to himself.

That is why so many people have a hard time resisting temptation to do bad/wrong things....and that is why many people think it's OK to excuse their behavior b/c they were drunk. It's like..."oh, well I was drunk last night...so it's ok that I beat up my wife"....or something like that.
 
This isn't an issue with Susan and I since we don't drink.

If she or I were a drinker, we'd trust each other to go out drinking.

Just about the hardest thing I drink is a double tall latte 🙂

I have friends that are generally well meaning but misguided in that they think they can run my personal life better than I can.I simply don't go out clubbing with those friends,why cause myself needless headaches?
 
I'm not a drinker, but of the girls I have dated, I wouldn't have trusted either of the last two. Of course, I got cheated on by the last two. And they were lying, manipulative girls.

Oh well. That's probably why I've been single for two years.

Some of her friends I trust. Others, only about as far as I could throw them. :disgust:

- M4H
LOL! 😀

So, your throwing arm working well these days? 😉

Oh, and to answer the question...

Of course I trust her, it is a silly question. If you don't trust her for this, you shouldn't be with her.

: ) Hopper
 
Yes. She doesn't drink though.

Side note. I think if anyone gets drunk to the point that they can't remember what they are doing I think that is bad. I've been very pissed up but never to the point that I didn't remember what I was doing.
 
It really depends on the girl or the guy....I know I do some things that would be bad with a few drinks in me with a group of girls and I realize it later (I am talking clothes off bad stuff).

Anytime a girl or a guy hangs out with a bunch of members of the opposite sex it's usually a flirty type thing I have found....with that goes the fact that the 'friends' think they have a chance.

I have been the guy out with a bunch of girls so many times that it's scary to think of what my own woman may be doing 😉.

The trick is you trust them, if something does happen you hope they came to their senses in time and it's not an on going thing.....people are only human and sex is a powerful drug.
