[quote=deadzone][quote=davelj][quote=walterwhite]I like cake but it’s also good to have a spare Twinkie. Why not at least try to have your cake and eat it too. You might get away with it. Nothing ventured nothing gained.[/quote]

And therein lies one big problem. Many men (and women – but I’m going to focus on men here) want to have their cake and eat it too. They enter into marriage because they want kids and the stability of a wife-partner. But they have no intention of being faithful. They view the whole arrangement as just being part of life – you have your wife and kids, and then you have your affairs on the side. A large proportion of men enter into marriage with the belief that this is just how men are supposed to lead their lives. I’m not saying it’s right – I’m just saying it’s prevalent. I have many married male friends that, if we were in a bar somewhere and they started trying to pick up a woman and I reminded them of their marriage… they would break up in laughter at the comment, assuming it was a joke.[/quote]

Clearly Dave you are not married.[/quote]

I agree with Dave. I think most people underestimate how much infidelity there actually is. I also think most people underestimate how many unfulfilled marriages there are. I used to be naive and believe most married people do not cheat, but OPPORTUNITY is the key. I’ve thankfully never been cheated on – well at least not that I know of :-), nor do I believe in it, but I’m amazed how many people do. People cheat when given the opp and believe it will not come back to them. There are a lot of people, men and women who appear conservative, happy, fulfilled, etc. You may know both people in the coupledom, but take one of them on a trip, business or boys/girls weekend, and then observe. I have seen cheating happen far too often over the years.

I have asked some of these people why the cheat. They tell me they love their spouse, they love their kids, but if you had to eat Italian, Mexican, Chinese, etc every night, sometimes you just want Greek food. Other people cheat because they are insecure and need more admiration, adoration, whatever strokes their ego. They want the companionship, want to come home to share a warm meal, they like the family life, but just because they already have the latest greatest HDTV, when a new one comes out, sometimes they just have to have the new one. they want that feel good high.

I also agree with Brian that there is a societal desire to see people marry/ have kids. When married people with kids observe people who have been dating for some time, or a couple who’s married but childless, they constantly ask “when are you getting married” or “when are you having kids”, or try to sell you on why both are great. First off, its no ones damn business, and what if someone cannot bear children due to health issues? Or what if one person desperately wants to get married and the other doesnt? Or what if neither believe in marriage nor kids? Either way, i find these types of incessant questions completely inappropriate. I notice people doing it professionally all the time – interoffice, networking, clients, etc. Its like asking the married people if they are really happy in marriage, how often they have sex, do they get their wife to orgasm? My old boss told me he tired of the questions of when he and his wife would have kids, so he finally started responding: “Well I’m having sex at 9 tonight with my wife, do you want to come observe or shall I just phone you after to let you know how it went?”

If you want to get married and have kids, great. If you don’t, thats great too. If you can’t, that sucks and no one needs to rub it in your face. But its not other people’s job to convince either group why its good or bad, or ask constantly about how its going.

@briansd1. if you get Cox or Time Warner high speed internet ( amongst others), you can access ESPN3.com. It asks you when you go to the site to select your cable provider and then login to your account. Once you login with your internet provider, you can watch live content on ESPN3. For instance, the Memphis v Durantula game last night LIVE

You can definitely cut the cable dependence. We already had a PS3, so we do Netflix streaming via the device, plus its a blu ray player as well, so we watch Netflix DVDs on it as well. We have Time Warner Cable at $60/month for their fastest internet.

We bought a $15 antenna from Target and it works great receiving HD channels.

For sports, you can get some stuff on ESPN3.com which they offer to residential customers using certain high speed internet providers. I also hear you get some sports shows via Veetle.com, its hit or miss whether you can get the event you want.

Finally, we picked up a $45 DVI to HDMI converter to stream anything on the Mac to the TV. This also works great for any shows available online.

Its been about 6 months since we cut cable and rarely miss it
