Don't listen to Chys when it comes to women, he houses 3 big whoppers a day and hates skinny girls in Japan, he's obviously insane!
Sutekh's admitted he would be in heaven here, women with the bodies of 12 year old boys are his type.

How do you go from 12 year old boy to chubby? Does America not have anything in between? I realize you guys have an obesity problem but damn.

Yea, I never understood why people get so mad at the third party unless it was their friend so the betrayal is direct. If it's some anonymous (to you) stranger, you had no agreement with him and he owes you nothing. Sure, he's an asshole for sleeping with a married woman, but your problem is with her, not him.
The other issue is that the dude may have NO idea you even exist. When I was single and some chick told me she wasn't married? I'm going to take her at her word. Who am I to deny a bang session?

Right. But there's also the possibility this scumbag co-worker has met our hero. I slept with one of my co-workers after having met her boyfriend, mainly because it's quite clear she's not happy and I thought she'd move the fuck on. This dumbass forgave her, she's still miserable, and they're still together.

Some people.

Does she take her wedding ring off at work? Did she do that from the day she started there? Come on now guys... It's not like they met at a bar and don't see each other on a regular basis... where they work together.

I've known plenty of married chicks and men who don't wear rings. I've also known unmarried chicks/men whodowear rings. So, it isn't necessarily an indicator of anything.

Yea, I get they like to act innocent (rather than letting that beast out, which would make them more fun), but everything I've read (never been to Japan, so I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong) says Japanese girls are relatively easy, and casual about sex. Especially to white Americans.
I don't know how much currency I'd put into Dear Penthouse letters.

Whether the guy knows she's married or not is irrelevant. He doesn't owe anything to selix unless they are friends, so that onus is on his hopefully soon to be ex wife to keep her pants on.

If your significant other doesn't become your property as part of the marriage contract then what's the point of marriage? If he knows she's married he's basically stealing from you. It's collusion!

Are we saying the country with a terrible birthrate due to women not having sex and also blurs out genitals in porn is sexually open?
I'm relatively certain that last part is our fault(I'm not going to verify that at work). I think the whole "yeah, you can film shoving a live octopus into a vagina, but you better blur it!" thing is a result of the WW2 treaty, indirectly.

While the second part of your post made me chuckle I think it's a good/interesting question. While I have a very strong stance on dealing with cheating, divorced my ex after she did it. I feel no ill will towards the guy that she did it with. He's a guy who didn't know me and was offered sex by someone he obviously was attracted to. 99 percent of guys aren't going to refuse it. I get that, and like I said it's up to your cheating spouse or girlfriend to decide what claims you have on her and if they are important enough for her to stay as your "property".

Why are you mad at him? He did not stand up in front of friends and family and vow to be with you and only you forever.
Your wife being wrong means, to some degree, you were wrong too. You picked the wrong person to marry and you spent X years investing ultimately in a failed relationship. So, blaming the third party makes you feel better about yourself, indirectly.

The above is likely stupid conjecture and I hope I never have to face the situation required to verify it one way or the other.

There are plenty of people at work here who have a way-too-friendly relationship and it always seems scummy to me. Especially since the majority of the time they're both married. I'm somewhat nervous because my buddy here at work who is married is now working out/running with this girl all the time. She's single and first tried to be way-too-friendly with me but quickly realized I'm an antisocial asshole. There is also a pecking order of single males I work with and I enjoyed seeing her going through that progression as well. I don't know if these people who have work friends of the opposite gender who are a bit too friendly is just emotional dependence at all times or if there is actually something going on. I know at least one of said couples was seen going to the hotel across the street together.

Who knows, sometimes people are different bro. When I was married I like to flirt with chicks and I was friends with girls, but I'd never cheat on anyone and the girl I was with knew exactly what was going on.

Relationships are about T R U S T, varying degrees for each person I guess.

It's a fine line to walk. I have never physically cheated on someone, however I have broken up with someone multiple times a day or two before I was having sex with someone else. So the argument can be made for emotional infidelity I suppose. Although I think that whole idea is crackpot to begin with. Some people are very flirtatious by nature, but don't take it beyond that she in a relationship. I will say that if you aren't married you have zero ownership of your significant other and vice versa.
