    I'm tired of players not wanting to come to POR for non-basketball related reasons, so from now on they're all POSs

    Not really. Depends on the relationship. If your girl is in the dark and you cheat on her, you are a piece of shit.

    If it's an open relationship It doesnt matter.

    Perfect example being Andrei Kirilenko. His wife gave him permission to bang one girl a year while he was out on the road.

    I think that's an assumption. There's nothing to say that Melo chose OKC/CLE for reasons beyond basketball. I'd wager to say his choice was specifically related to a basketball reason.

    I think cheating on your wife is a redeemable quality. Maybe not redeemable to the party cheated on but still redeemable.

    You've never cheated?

    Nope. And would never do that to someone unknowingly. Communication is key.

    I have no problem with an open relationship if both parties are in the know.

    I hate liars, so cheating on someone behind their back was always off the table.

    Yeah. I can't get down with that. I normally do open relationships, and it doesn't matter then, because it is normal and expected. But, in a monogamous relationship, cheating is completely unacceptable. Have never done it and have never even thought about it.

    I've cheated and been cheated on. It sucks but the person is not an irredeemable person because of it.

    People can change and become better, so it's not irredeemable. But, cheating to me is a deal breaker. No one is coming back from that, for me.

    True. We are all different and with varying breaking points. To each their own.

    I have nothing wrong with being open and having multiple partners. But, that needs to be agreed upon by both parties. These guys shouldn't get married then. If you want to travel the country and bang groupies, don't get married. Or, marry someone who is ok with that. Easy solution. That's why I'm not married or in a monogamous relationship right now. I'm a free agent and I'm fine with that.

    Lol. I don't even know what to say to the comment above.

    People bashing on marriage are just as bad as those bashing on open relationships.

    Financial institution? Wow. I'll go home and tell my wife i'm with her for tax purposes and report back how that goes.

    I can drive you buy some of my friends' houses they had to sell when their marriages broke up. But Raider, you have to remember, your dealing with one very salty dog.
