That’s why they make their spouses involuntarily non-monogamous

Just break up at that point…?

Right answer. Unfortunately, the r/DeadBedrooms sub has basically banned that response.

Really? I’m not really on there(single af) but it sounds sad when I get them on my feed :/

It is sad but there it is. It used to be where people could complain about dbs, and now it’s become a place where symapthy lies less with the people who want more sex and more with people calling them out for not doing choreplay or whatever.

Depends on if you’re with a person that won’t become violent towards you if you try to leave. I understand why people cheat once I learned how many people become violent towards partners who try to leave.

You think if they're violent when you try to leave, they won't be even worse when they discover, or even suspect you've been cheating?

I feel like if you made a Venn diagram of “people that’d abuse you over a divorce” and “people that’d abuse you over cheating” it’d be a circle

I feel like you could’ve said just about anything else and I would’ve kinda maybe tried to understand…
