If you would cheat on him that easily I'd argue you're with him for convenience or because you settled. In any case, I'd hate distrusting my significant other to that point. I would really not be able to have a relationship like that. YMMV though.

Yeah, I can see how some people would mind having to keep tabs on their partner. It's not for everyone. He doesn't seem to mind.

But it really has nothing to do with settling; some people are just not monogamous by nature. I'm sure you can understand, since people sometimes make that generalization about the entire male sex :).

Oh no I understand, I used to be the prime example of polygamy (well not really since they we're not really relationships). I used to be one of those guys for which every skirt is a new possibility and I had this knack for sleeping around, but once I settled for one I for the life of me can't even think about cheating.

Whatever suits you guys though, if you guys are happy then more power to you. I'd would just find it incredibly difficult.
