I would FEEL like contacting John A. Lucas, esquire, divorce attorney.
-
I'd feel like making him worry about how to deal with the anxiety he was going to feel every time he laid down and closed his eyes. He'd also spend a great deal of time worrying why I was carrying that cast iron skillet to bed with me every night. He might want to consider herbal tea, aromatherapy or yoga for anxiety.
-
I would feel like smacking him over the head. I would feel like throwing all his crap out the window, changing the locks, and filling paperwork for separation. I would feel angry, hurt, stupid, ugly, disappointed, indignant. I would feel unhappy. I would feel betrayed.
-
I would tell him that talking to my lawyer was also a form of anxiety reduction.
-
Angry and abused. Leave this person immediately, you are being abused and insulted.
-
I'd say fine. You're going to need all the Anxiety Reduction you can possibly get by the time I get finished with you in divorce court.
-
Incredulous, upset and hurt. Incredulous because a month isn't that long of time to be away from your partner and taking up jogging is a better way of reducing anxiety than hurting the one you love.
-
I would feel like I had been kicked in the gut initially. After that I would feel like clawing out his eyeballs. After that I would most likely feel like I was inadequate. After that......I would feel even more angry and consider an affair myself. After that!..........I would come to the conclusion that he needs to pack up and move out for a while. Maybe even permanently.

http://www.racematters.org/bearingthecross.htm According to an author, this "anxiety reduction" in the form of extramarital relations was the outlook of Martin Luther King Jr. In the course of monitoring King and Levison, the F.B.I. discovered something that would have greater impact on King's life than the subversion issue. King practiced a ''compulsive sexual athleticism'' that he explained to one friend as ''a form of anxiety reduction.''

I'd say the partner is full of crap..if that is really how he feels, then there is no reason to be married..set him free so he can indulge in his "form of anxiety reduction" all the time, wherever he is, with anyone who is willing..let him knock himself out.
-
Beyond the obvious, I would just feel incredibly sad that I am married to this insensitive glib cheater - who lies to himself as well as me. I would also feel incredibly insulted that he thinks I will actually believe such crap. And i would feel terribly scared about what to do next.
-
I would feel like getting a gun, loading it, and then using it!! That's how I would "feel"! What I would do is tell him to be sure to take all the things he liked the most the next time he went out of town because when he came back his key wouldn't work any longer and he might want to have those "comforting" reminders from home with him...since he won't be getting back in the house without a court order after that.
-
i would want to vomit, cry, throw some things around, then get a divorce.
-
hurt
-
The discussion would be as over as the marriage. Bye-bye. Don't write or anything.
-
I would say that they are not taking any responsibility for their infidelity. This is how cheaters justify what they do. As though it would benefit you somehow if they were "less anxious". I have never known infidelity enhance any intimate relationship and I sincerely hope you think more of yourself than to allow someone to treat you in a way, I suspect, they would not tolerate you behaving in.
-
I would tell em it was a bunch of bull to grow up and stop making excuses for what they did thenI would promptly give em the boot.
-
Cheated.
-
I would say they need a permanent home away from home. Sianara!
-
I'd say "You're full of sh*t and you know it. I'm packing my stuff. I'll be out tomorrow."
-
If she was my wife I'd buy her a good vibrator and tell her that should reduce her axiety during the divorce proceedings. If I was the wife, I'd buy me an industrial size container of vaseline and say the same thing.
-
I'd feel for a weapon of my choice. Barring that, I think a permanent vacation would be in order.
-
there's another answer to that, and it;s not necessary anxiety reduction, but it can be dealt with. It's certainly not a reason to break up a family.
-
I'd feel like a married a slutty person.
-
wow i would ask him if his mother drop him a couple times
-
piss of my ass p.s. donkey bonner
-
I would feel sick. I would be betrayed. I would wonder why a hobby wouldn't have served as anxiety reduction. I would question the amount of anxiety that is caused my extra-marital activities and all the lies and pain associated with it.
-
I would feel my husband was a piece of CRAP and tell him to find another place to live!!
-
cheating is cheating. They would find their stuff on the curb.
-
I'd feel like I'd need to immediately reduce my anxiety by getting a divorce.
-
I would be compassionate and understanding. I would remind him, however, that what's good for the gander is goos good for the goose. But I wouldn't go crazy or run to a lawyer. We're human, after all.
-
blunt people keep quite, others revolt. Anyway its a abstract one
-
I have already let my man know when he strays, I am going to choose one of his best buddies and do things he loves and the things can't even imagine I will do with a man. Then we will wipe the slate clean and pretend it never happened.
-
I would feel like I'd been cheated on. Doesn't anybody masturbate anymore??
-
I would be sad, but I'd feel pretty good about not having to share the remote control any more.
-
I think it would hurt (my thumb pulling the hammer back)...the noise wouldnt bother me but, the screaming as they fell down wounded might cause a teeny shiver of delight....
-
Like taking all of his belongings, packing them, having the locks changed, moving all our money to my bank account, and seeing an attorney before he could get home.
-
suddenly divorced.
-
I would feel angry! I would tell him that he can get so relaxed that he melts out his own rectum and have his girlfriend clean it up cause I won't be around to do it. I'd let him know that I refuse to handle slimey sh*t and he has just qualified as 100% nasty, septic, slimey, drippy (BUT RELAXED!) diarrhea. But sexually he has always been soft (relaxed?) and drippy anyway and you were tired of pretending that he was a man. Thank him for providing the reason to leave his nasty ass and the chance to go find a real man. And then I'd leave with a smile on my face! The point is to make him feel some of what he just made me feel, without gutting him alive which I would be fighting to avoid. . I don't get pissed off easily. But when I do, I do it all the way.
-
like getting a divorce
-
Don't take it hun. He is fixin' to leave you. The marriage is already trashed. These compromises never work out.
-
Tell him to go to get a facial, if he is so stressed out. Go out and have your own Love affair, and tell him, it's YOUR stress relief. See how he likes it.
-
Cheated on and would leave.
