I STINK;Answer truthfully, how many women thinks their men don’t cheat? I’m a bargainista
I had such a great time in all 3 classes. Step was awesome! We did a new routine and I kicked it up a ton of notches. Kickboxing was great but I was getting tired by hr #2. Yoga, ah, she killed our triceps with tricep push-ups! YAY!!! Suffice to say I’m exhausted to the max! I drank a ton of water with electrolytes added and ate my energy bar in between classes. I’m just too tired to take a shower. I stink. Completely and utterly stinker! 
Blaithin, next month I will certainly try to make it to a custom runner shoe store for a pair but for now, I can’t budget it in. Instead I went bargain cheapo and bought a pair of New Balance running shoes for $35.00. See, I have the expensive ones that cost me $120 but I rarely wear it because my foot shrunk 1/2 a size since I bought them. Since I’m only going into my 5th month of running, I figured I need to spend my money wisely. As I did today. And Rod replaced some of my black tank tops that conveniently disappeared during a wash a couple weeks ago.
Tuesday evening I’m not sure If I will exercise or take the day off yet. It’s to be determined. I want to do something but I will have to wait and listen to my body. If it tells me tomorrow is good I will do something.
Been thinking a lot about our instant gratification society that we live in. For the most part, most buddyslim members are in long term relationships or marriages which is great. We have some great single ladies too.
Something happened to a wonderful friend of mine and my heart goes out to her. It tears me up to see how hurt she is by a man she loved. He is cruel. He swept her off her feet only done to feed his own ego. This friend is a wonderful person and does not deserve the bullshi* she got from him. But I know she is strong enough to get pass this difficult period and one day find the man of her dreams.
Now, I know how much it hurts because my ex not only cheated on me numerous times, but the final time, the one in which I had direct evidence, I left him for. Even then, he still try to lie,cheat and deceit his way into my heart.
My question is, how many of us really know if our loved ones is being true to us? How many of our men have lied to our faces and been with other women? How many of us truly knows the truth? Do we really want to know the truth?
I believe, as I told my friend Blaithin, that there are very few faithful men and I’m sure faithful women out there. Especially in this age, this time where a man can be on the computer talking to someone else and we may or may not know about it. How would you handle it if it was you? Would you leave or stay? Does having children play a role in your decisions?
How I’ve handled it with my boyfriend, we have a very open relationship that allows us to freely talk about ourselves. There’s very little I do not know. I know most everything that he does. Not to say it couldn’t happen again. But I established from the first day I met him what I expect from a man. I hope and wish that by keeping an open relathionship where we do not feel the need to hide our desires and dreams will keep our relationship free of the deceit that I’ve experienced in the past.
hey hun sounds like you had a great work out! and as far as the cheating, i have been cheated on by every long term boyfriend i’ve ever had, and my heart is so cold now i don’t know if i will ever warm up to love a man enough to trust him…but i figur right now i will focus on loving myself
and hopefully don’t break anyone else’s heart by not loving back cause breakin hearts isn’t cool and has completely changed me
oh I love any workout that works any muscles but I especially love the ones that work your triceps!!
Lol, hit those showers!!! hehe.
I agree, I don’t think there is a man or woman who hasn’t at least entertained the idea pf cheating. I guess the best way is to keep as open and honest as possible.
i would obviously be upset if my boyfriend cheated on me or was talking to someone else….but for me…if ithappens…he wants other things thati dontwantand im strong enough now to know that i dontneed someone like thatin my life…so yes itwould hurt but no i wouldntfreak out…i would simply say lets partour ways and i would move on with my life and probably notbe in a relationship for awhile because i would wantto focuse on myself.
Sabina, ahhhh, I thought you are in a relationship. You know, as the old saying goes, when you meet the right person you will know - and I hope at that time you will open your heart to him.
Kama - runs to take my shower now!!!! LOL
Briahnna - so glad you are back on and feeling better!
Arli, smart girl.
You are so strong and smart! Good answer. 
well if my husband cheated he would shoot himself in the foot. There is noone better out there for him than me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha j/k he knows though nobody would have put up with all his health problems and other problems. Plus when we were young like 13 years ago we both been there and done that and won’t do it again. if the urge comes we will tell each other.
Oh by the way take a shower I think i smell you here in Colorado mixed in with every animal smell I already have going on in this zoo lol
oh how i hate cheating!!!! im one of those single ladies!!! i dont know if im waiting for the right person…or just havin fun!!! lol. but if i just had a bf and he cheated then i would just leave him…no questions asked. but if i had a husband…the guy that took vows to love me till death to us part…oh boy thats a diff story! let me tell you….id cut it off!!!!!!! i always scare my bf with that! lol.
LOL Kerstin, I told Rodney I would do a Lorena Bobbit on his arse!! Cut it right off!
I think what you said is key, just let our partner know if we feel the need to wander into greener pastures. 
Communication is certainly key.
SIGH What is up with so many people who just can’t commit?? I don’t get it!
thsnk u for writing this blog 4 me. i love u
I love reading about your workouts. I wish I was at that level but walking is still a challenge for me. lol
I believe there are still some men that won’t cheat out there even though they are few and far between but nevertheless they exist:) I happen to think my man is the greatest but time will tell:) Sorry about your friend. I hope she moves on and learns from the experience. Best of Luck to her.
Ugh, cheating. Everyone’s worst nightmare, right? I can honestly say I have never been cheated on by anyone I *loved*. Cheated on by boyfriends, yes, but it didn’t break my heart; it was easy to move on. My husband and I have been through a LOT together; we’ve both overcome tough obstacles just to be together. So I think we’re both pretty reassured that we each want the other. There were so many times, it would have been so much easier for him to just say “I can’t put up with this anymore!” and go find someone else. He didn’t. And likewise, my issue in life was always looking for the next best thing. I’ve overcome that, and am happy with my choices. When you take your vows, they warn you that things can get bad (for better AND for worse) and we promised we’d stick by each other through the worst.
*IF* at this point, he cheated on me, I would absolutely be devastated. Not only do I love him, I’ve devoted my entire life to building a family with him. The kids definitely play a role in making any decision about what I would do, but I think there comes a point in any deteriorating marriage when it’s better for the kids if the parents split up. It would be a tough decision to make though. It would all depend on the circumstances, if he came clean about it vs. me finding out on my own, if he truly regretted it, how long it went on, etc etc. Every one makes mistakes, people get caught up in moments and do things without considering the consequences. Hopefully I’ve ingrained the consequences into his mind well enough that he smells trouble a mile away, but…. like you said, Who really knows? I don’t think it’s good to spend my time wondering “What if….” though, so I’m just going to say he would never do that, and hope for the best.
ugggg… I have such a hard time trusting men. I’m in a long term realtionship(going on 7 years)
I know that he has cheated in the beginning and still i stayed. He could possibly be cheating now…he’s never home, but he has his own business so he works alot. Who knows? i don’t like to think about it…it drives me crazy..lol.
I stayed because i was comfortable w/ him and i hate dating. not a good reason..i know. Good luck to your friend!
I was cheated on by my ex and it friggin hurts (i guess you know..right LOL) I felt like he didnt respect me cause he didnt even have the balls to break up with me first. I always thought it was my fault, but now i know it wasnt. He was just an asshole. And I left him, and havent even talked to him since. We should all just count our blessings now, whether we are single enjoying life, or dating or married to a handsome guy who would never hurt us!
keep up the good work sweetheart!! 
LOL great work out BTW! Your amazing
If I’ve been cheated on, I don’t know about it. I haven’t had too many relationships, so I’m guessing maybe the chances are lower?? anyway… I don’t think Chris would ever cheat on me, and I don’t know what I’d do if he did.. I really don’t. I just hope I never have to find out. Great job on that workout!!
You know this post strikes a cord with me. My trust in men is minimal at the minute after finding out what my Dad is doing to my Mom behind her back. It’s even affected my relationship with my b/f.
I dont know if there are any truely good men out there. I thought my Dad was. He obviously isnt though.
My instructor this semester actually does research in this area and it is something like 75% of men and 65% of women r unfaithful at some point. This means that MOST people are unfaithful? Can u believe it is that staggering?
I tend to think my husband is a saint, a perfect guy (hey…we’re newlyweds). But, I still worry a bit about cheating. I try to treat him really well, so he won’t want to go elsewhere. And I trust him, so I really don’t think he would.
We still CRAVE time together, even after 4 years. He’ll, ‘walk me to the bus’ just to spend that extra 5 minutes with me before I have to go to work. And I do the same!
But, I also think, in this mad busy world we live in, who has time to cheat??? I don’t know about you guys, but, I’m too tired to do much of anything beyond what I already do!!! And my husband is the same. (Maybe we work too much???)
Keep up the great work outs Nancy!
Ok, well…I am in a long term relationship with a man that I love very much and would never cheat on. I have decided that if the time came where I wanted to, I would tell him about it. I am divorced from a man who was abusive and a cheater. I had a baby with him and still we got divorced. Did it play a part. Yes, she needs GOOD role models, not bad. She gave me all the more reason to leave his sorry ass. I have cheated in the past, but not on those I loved. And in those cases, we both did it, not just one. Sad, but true. However, I disagree with once a cheater always a cheater attitudes because I’m done! Love ya Nancy!
I think I need new workout shoes. But they are good for at least 2 years…ummm right?
I bet my ex cheated on me when we were together. My mom told me he was just using me. But guess who he really cheated in the long run? HIMSELF!! I bet he kicks himself everytime he sees me…and he will continue to have crappy relationships if he continues to act the way he did with me.
oh man!!! new balances for $35?!?! all the ones i have found have been for way more than that!! OH and i love the smelly/sweaty feeling from working out! makes you feel like you have worked so hard!! its great!
LOVE YOUR WORK OUT A I STILL STRUGGLING WITH GETTING A WALK IN EVERYDAY . BUT I HAVE NOT GAVE UP YET!!
I think it depends on the honestly and if you guys “keep it real”
Me and my husband are around eachother a lot and open about everything. He is unique because I know not a lot of men his age are so devoted or even want to get married. I think that’s what attracted me to him at first, he’s kind of old fashioned when it comes to family and values but he’s very liberal and open about ideas and opinions. I don’t think I could get along better with anyone else but if he cheated on me, no matter how many kids we had, I would listen and try to understand but I wouldn’t be scared to leave. I’ve seen too many women in bad relationships and know it’s not good for the kids or her.
Oh, also, if I don’t take a shower right after working out my skin breaks out so I always do. Who knows why…
I tell my husband to tell me if he ever feels unhappy with me to tell me. But I don’t think that will happen. He’s lied to me before. He hasn’t cheated but he’s done things that I don’t approve of and he knew I didn’t approve of and he lied to me about it. So … I dunno. My trust with him isn’t that strong. =[ But I try.
