So you work with couple who met in the job, are married and have a kid together. You get on well with them both. It's the work Christmas party and they can't get a baby sitter so the husband goes to the party and the wife stays home with the kid. At the Christmas party you see the husband in the corner kissing some girl. What do you do? Tell the wife? Say something to the husband? or pretend you saw nothing? Or something else?

*for arguments sake, we'll say you know them pretty well and are very friendly with them both (but not best buddies like your out of work friends)

Men and women cheat and some kill their partner or the person who they cheated with it don't stop people cheating, but most people don't get involved, in other people lives.

The police will tell you never get involved on a domestic as the person who tries to help normally gets attacked from the woman and the man.

This has nothing to do with what was actually said. It wasn't about whether it's the right thing to tell them or get involved with someone else's life.

It was about the use of the phrase "It's what men do". As though it's impossible for them to fight an urge to be a twat.

That's a well known phrase, like lads will be lads, its not impossible to resist temptation, I don't think Lt saying that phrase in the context of this thread makes him a cheat.

Yes, it is a well known phrase, of course it is. Doesn't make what it stands for any less archaic and nonsense. But I think most people would agree with that.

I suppose my last post to him was a jibe, as his was to me. That's just mine and LT's way. :hee:
