Someone I know has. living with one girl and having a 7 year relationship with another girl in another country.
neither of the girls knew about each other. he broke it off once he decided which one he is going to marry though.

No, but I know a number of men who have. For 2 it ended badly (2x divorces, one stab wound).

For one it ended OK (wife didn't boot him out, after a few months of being good he is now nailing his gf again).

Another guy has been at it for over 10 years now and hasn't been caught.

Just dont get whats in it for the single person long term. I can see the attraction short term but after a while its got to get frustrating, surely?

To clarify, the mate who has been having an affair for >10 years is married and his goomar is too.

goomar = italian-amercian slang word for mistress, from the italian comare. Maybe. It's in the sopranos.

yes, twice, wasn't getting it at home!! one ended - her visa ran out - back to Australia. one turned into a major stalking lunatic even though she knew the score from the outset. The last was over 5 years ago and I tell myself never again. I left the other 1/2 anyway - well overdue as it was. You never can tell when they're gonna "fall in love" and go completely psycho on you... this could also apply to the true love thread I guess biggrin

depends what you call long term. I did for about 9 months while GF was away at University in Canada. fked it off when she came back, but the relationship died soon after anyway. Should have kept it up with the other one (but she was ginger and a bit mental)

When I was 17 I had a 6 month or so affair with a family friend (she was 30). Luckily, when it got found out, her husband forgave her and as far as I'm aware they're still together.

She was a great shag, too.

Actually, her daughter's about 20 now and very pretty. I wonder what she's like...

only joking, I wouldn't be so cruel. And I don't have her number.

Never have - have cheated, but very rarely, and it has been a drunken no-strings effort, and I felt terrible every time.

But then, I have never been in a relationship where the sex just stopped. I think if that were to happen at this point in my life, I would find it very hard not to find someone else with whom to get that, on a regular basis.

Have had the occasional fling and a long term affair whilst going out with someone, but still on good terms with all of them, although now wanting to settle down a bit.
I'm not casual about it by any means, as I suspect the other half had a few daliances along the way (she had in previous relationships), and we did sort of lead seperate lives.... Just make sure the 'girlfriend' fully understands the situation, and don't make any promises, I suspect that wouldn't work out too well...

On another note, I'd suggest you think very hard about it before embarking on it. I don't get jealous, have a laid-back attitude and can compartmentalise everything. If you're a bit of a worrier then its probably not for you. Oh and you have to be meticulous about planning and cleaning, don't for instance embark on something at your place unless you are already a tidy person. Nothing stands out more than a guy who suddenly changes the sheets and tidies up and most importantly, puts out the bin...

Long-term affairs? I’m glad I did that sort of thing when I was younger. I doubt I’d be as well-adjusted and happy with life nowadays if I hadn’t done some really stupid things in the past.

One woman is enough hassle. Two would be hard work...
