That happened to a friend of mine. They filed for divorce shortly after.....
Do you know (who) initiated the filing of the divorce?
According to statistics in the U.S. (women) initiate the filing of divorce 66% or 2/3rds of the time.
It's also been said divorced men remarry sooner than divorced women.
In that case he filed for divorce, but after a period of "trying" making the marriage work again.
Hi there Robie, Someone must have really gotten hurt because of this.
Dashing Scorpio, I read on the divorce stats in the US and they indeed have a high women-initiated divorces. I also read somewhere that even the time of the year there are peak
I'd moan out another woman's name!
Seriously it's not as if many men are going to run down to the courthouse, file for divorce, move out of their home into a one bedroom condo, pay child support/alimony, become a weekend, split up assets, along with friends and family who choose sides all because (wait for it...)
She mumbled another guy's name during “throes of passion"!
Truthfully it would not surprise me if lots of married people engage in the use sexual fantasy while having sex with their spouses. I'm fairly certain if a woman went to wild bachelorette party and got worked up watching male strippers it wouldn't be a stretch for her to be having "flashbacks" while having sex with her husband.
While moaning out a name provides "proof" that one's mate is fantasizing the truth is we can never (really know) what or who our mate is thinking about during sex and vice versa.
For all a wife knows her husband may have just watched some Internet porn, saw a very attractive woman earlier in the day, or some other female image from a movie or wherever causing him to "lust in his heart".
When someone closes their eyes they're in their own world.
We don't get to control other people's thoughts or imaginations. The majority of people keep those "momentary thoughts" or fantasies to themselves even when asked:
"What are you thinking?"
Having said that if there have been {numerous other changes} in one's mate behavior in addition to calling out other people's name during sex it could be an indication they are cheating or contemplating doing so. If it's a movie star or character from a novel you either learn to accept she has fantasies or find someone who keeps their fantasies to themselves.
Eeew! What is all this talk of porn and fantasies. For crying out loud, the man just experienced something rather heartbreaking.
Savvydating,
I (never assumed) this was JP Carlos' life experience.
I also didn't make the leap that a woman who moans another man's name is having an affair. I acknowledged it's possible people fantasize about others while having sex.
Yves, it is ok, I appreciate insights of everyone here. I know 2 people who experienced this. Both are women and moaned different names other than their husband's. Both women never had any other relationships other than their husbands - that's wha
All I know is that I haven't "moaned" anyone else's name while having sex, nor do I fantasize about being with someone other than the person I am in bed with. What is the point of that? No thank you. I prefer to be with someone I actually desire.
JP Carlos,
I had a feeling you weren't talking about your own marriage!
Whether one's spouse is cheating or fantasizing it still hurts to (know) they're not (mentally with you) while being intimate.
Yves....Tee hee...my lips are sealed! Your spouse (?) is indeed very lucky......or certainly WILL be!
Oh my, I am sorry, it was wrong of me to assume Yves is married...obviously I am not aware of something. It's between Paula and Yves.
Well okay, there was that one time I yelled out, Benito, Oh Benito Del Toro, Benito, my love.
Ha!
OMG, Yves! I don't know even 1 other woman who loves him like I do!..Except U now! Too weird! My friends tell me I have terrible taste in men OR most don't even know who he is! It's "BENICIO" & he's mine!! LOL It's OK, JP...we're just joking w/
Lol. I yelled out the wrong name. But seriously, that is crazy!!! You love him too!!! We'll just have to share. (I'm pretty sure he won't mind) I'm so impressed with your tastes, Paula! (sorry guys...girl talk. You started it.)
Yes, you did moan the wrong name! LOL....Benito is his father!! LMAO. JP...don't mind us....She's right, you guys did start this!! OK, we're done. Promise.
Benicio del torro, the actor? OK, Now I will never look at him the same way again. Although I never moaned another woman's name, my wife keeps on teasing me because i told her that mandy moore had a nice voice and I found her pretty. She can't sto
Savvy, I agree. I've been married 32 years and this has never happened. I would be up and gone. We have been through a lot but that's just nasty. If another women's name is on his lips, at this time then it's not me he is thinking of. No way.
TerrieLynn...I don't know that I'd throw in the towel, but I would be mad as a hornet. After I calmed down, we would have a serious talk. Then I would make a determination. I haven't had that experience either, so it is hard to really know what I wou
HI there terrie, I am pretty sure in that 32 years you've been together there was at least one time your husband thought of another woman. We can't demand that our spouse do not think of another person. But it can hurt a lot when it happens.
Just calmly ask her about it. Take note of her reaction. Read her face and her body language. Have an honest discussion. If she is cheating, you both have some decisions to make about what needs to happen to improve the marriage, if that is still possible.
Why do you believe this is not a {hypothetical question}?
Essentially JP is asking "What would (you) do?"
My guess is honest discussion & cheating rarely go hand in hand. What if it's a fantasy and she has no desire to cheat?
Yves, communication in a marriage is indeed an important part of the relationship. However, there are some couples that are not really open in their communication. it is sad but, it happens to couples. I suppose those who really want to try to men
JP......It seems I cannot muster up enough emotion nor suspicion to allow such a scenario to cause alarm or panic. What immediately came to my mind was a situation I experienced approximately 20 yrs ago.
I dated a man for about a year who himself had had a 10 yr. relationship with a woman named "Lori." I can assure you, he called me "Lori," more often than he used my name. Not necessarily in the bedroom, but the point I'm hoping to make is that this sort of "slip" happens a lot. I've done it myself. When it's occasional as well as a slip of the tongue due to habit & perhaps absentmindedness, it should hardly be reason for IMMEDIATE divorce! I'm gonna have to insist divorce is a drastic "overreaction" to such an incident.
Granted, because it happened WHEN & where it did, it would have caused some momentary hurt & even raise a red flag. (more like indignation)
To come to a conclusion, I would simply say that these isolated bloopers need to be put aside or discussed in depth to smooth the angst of the hurt partner. What's most important is to view and analyze the Big Picture in terms of a marriage. I may be wrong, but when I look at something as serious and long term as marriages can be......I cannot justify something as drastic as divorce over being called the wrong name, whether in the kitchen, the car or the bedroom. This may be a time for using calm, common sense and a bit of tolerance.
Wow, Dwayne......I MEAN DEAN!! Doesn't take much for you to go off the edge, I see!..??
Paula and JP Carlos,
Though it seems that you're not happy with my comment I still go forward. It's not good for another man's wife to moan with another man. It's definitely wrong if you judge it yourself, but it seems that you're democracy-minded. D
That's the spirit Dean. Bad things may happen but we move forward.
You leave. She evidently is not being completely faithful.
Or you can have her from behind and Whisper another women's name in her ear. Thust- enitiating the Bronco. See how long you can hold on to her at that point.
Chelcie....awww....don't be shy, just spit it out. #1 There goes your career as the Pink Panther #2...But you can always join the Rodeo!
Fighting fire with fire can eventually leave everything scorched. And I can't get the image of mind right now.
Double Eeeek. Triple Eeew! You make Dashing look like a Boyscout. Not a good thing. Please, everyone! Disregard this piece of trash comment. (Just saying)
Really! At first I thought I had read it wrong! Could someone actually print that porn? This is a writing site for adults, yes....but not for pervs!!JP..I hear U. Not a lovely sight to perceive! Yves..who are these people?
Just to clarify, it's the "everything scorched" that is stuck in my head. I just find fighting fire with fire a little unproductive as it leaves everyone in a dismal place. It does not resolve anything.
and I find Chelcie's imagination a bit NASTY!! In more ways than one!
