I'm with Mr. Johnson.

Crompsin also had a good post along these lines on the condom v. bareback thread. The casualness that people treat relationships in these United States causes many of the problems within. On the one hand, Abaya is perfectly right about cases of cheating. Relationships can be broken, and you can't really expect people to remain committed to a broken future.

On the other hand, who hasn't known a person who moves from um friend to um friend?

It's all well and good to say, "break it off", but with two people, there's a 50% chance one will be more emotionally invested in the relationship. That does wicked things to your psyche.
