    You’ll never be able to stop someone that wants to cheat. Best you can do is be funner and sexier than anyone else your partner might be around. Never understood why that’s so hard for some people.

      That’s the gist of the success of my marriage. Even before we met, we both had reached a point of maturity where we were confident in ourselves as single people, and then from that solid base you can build the relationship in a healthy way. We both try to be the best to our partner, while being ultimately independent. These over-jealous people are using their relationship as a crutch for life so they’re terrified of it going wrong. Either that or they’re guilty themselves and projecting.

        So essentially very good friends that chose to live together + benefits of being in a deeper relationship?

        Sounds healthy indeed! Wish you the best to keep that bond :)

          We were a couple right away so no existing friendship beforehand but within the relationship, that’s kinda how it works yeah!
