The Innocent Freak
Clarisse Thorn has a new post about cheating, and her reactions to it. Worth your time, but made even better by the series of Post Secret postcards she uses to illustrate it. I liked Ms. Innocent Freak and her mad ransom-note collage skills:

If I were to send one of those postcards revealing a “secret” that I’ve “never told anyone”, I suppose a good prospect for the exercise would be the fact that about a decade or so ago, I dated three women (concurrently), in the same time period, over a number of months.
Was that “cheating”?
None of the three ever demanded of me an exclusive relationship or my “fidelity”, nor did they ever question whether I was seeing other women during that time period in which I was. Neither did I demand fidelity of them, nor question them about it.
I eventually stopped dating two of the women due to a “deal-breaking” discovery of a level of chemical dependence (which just so happened to endanger my own health and safety), which they had BOTH been keeping hidden from me.
The remaining girlfriend (after a long period of my totally monogamous attention), suddenly falsely accused me of carrying on a secret cell-phone conversation with a another woman (due to a mistaken muffled conversation between two male strangers that she overheard through a public bathroom door,) during a date between the two of us.
I broke off that relationship at that point, when I began to question the degree of her level-headedness.
If I follow the logic of the postcard shown above, does this mean I was sleeping with all three of these women “so I that could be all three thirds of who I really was”?
I doubt that I was/am “multi-personalitied”, because I was pretty much the same person with all three. If they were to get together with each other today, and compare notes, I don’t think there would be any surprises discovered by any of them about me, other than the simultaneous relationships factor…
I was with them, because I loved all three of them. They were all extraordinary women in their own separate ways.
I now have more than a few domesticated animal pets of the same species. I feel as though I love them all. Am I “cheating” on each of these pets by loving them all? Am I being greedy for wanting the enjoy the company of all of them?
Is it cheating to have and love more than one child?
Over a decade later, I’m still on very friendly terms with all three of these women, though I am totally monogamously enjoying a relationship with a fourth…
