The famous actor Paul Newman was once asked how he was able to keep on the straight and narrow in his 40+ year marriage to fellow actress Joanne Woodward. In short, how was he able to stay faithful to her. His response?

"Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home?"

My thoughts exactly.

Depends what your dream is mate. As lids get older they find complete contentment in basic things, from spending time with their children to waking the dog on an empty beach to building the loft conversion they always wanted. Attainable things.

I agree that you should always chase your dream but then I also notice a worrying trend in that type of people that they are always looking for the next best thing which causes them to make radical changes and do certain risks that necessarily doesn't leave them happier. Instead by always seeking that next big thing they are never truly content at any given moment.

Somewhere in between works best I reckon. But there's only you who can judge how content you truly are and you seem it lid so is right.

I love it when you get serious.
Post of the thread this. Stop chasing unobtainable dreams because you think you're still young and just enjoy what you've got.
Life is much simpler than it is in many peoples minds.

I've been going out with a girl for 5 years.

I have done the dirt with two different birds. Mainly cause I found myself in a situation where I could, the girl was fit and I was pretty sure it'd never follow me home.
Doesn't mean I don't really like my girlfriend though.

Are you rapper Murph?

Ask Tiger Woods that.

He was travelling around the world playing golf while his steak was at home. So he just had a different steak every night of the week in his hotel. Some of the steak was really dirty and let him do all kinds of kinky stuff

Wait a minute, what were we talking about again?

Not to pick on you Tex, because many have shared this sentiment, but I don't agree in the slightest. Aside from the fact that these comments are degrading, it suggests that if he (Newman) found a better steak somewhere else, he'd be morally obligated to have that for lunch. I understand that he may consider her the apple of his eye, and so he should, but this is an utterly crass (and immoral) way to compliment her. I have much more respect for men that are faithful to their "hamburgers" than those who delude themselves that they've got "the best steak in the world waiting for me at home."

cf. @Allezfan's and @chicoazul's previous comments.

Steak and waffles?

I was working away last week or whenever. 200 miles from home - in a hotel room with nothing to keep me company but the internet, my PS Vita and Papa Johns.

I had that king size bed to myself for a whole week. Did the thought of cheating even enter my head?

Do you really think I'd risk everything for a bit of strange?

The key is to chase the unobtainable dream together (meaning with your spouse or long term partner). You're never old and in relationship terms, there's always more to add.

Oh, we're still doing new things and visiting new places mate, you're never too old to learn. My point was mainly that you people think they've hit a rut and see a bit of strange as an exciting distraction, but lose sight of what they have. I've seen lots of people mess up relationships and then regretted it later.

We've ( the missus and myself ) have done all sorts of daft things in the past and will doubtless do a few more before we peg it but we were sat on a little secluded beach on Monday, bollock naked, feet dabbled in the water while eating apricots. Simple pleasures are often the best.

tips hat at @Durham Toffee*

As we get older though I've noticed that it's absolute widespread. I mean everyone was getting fingered all over the show when we were late teens and early twenties but then it dies down as people get married and have kids for a bit. But by mid late thirties it would seem the vast majority of lids in particularly are gasping for a bit of strange.

I believe that over 85% of males given the chance of infidelity and absolutely no chance of comeback would take that opportunity.

It's less for girls but they have their moments too like.

What do you think?

Pointless poll attached.

It's not FYI.

Less in this case means that like 45% of women cheat rather than 55% of men.

Still massively widespread but every survey I've seen says cheating is slightly more common in men.

I mean it's not a significant difference, it's not like 5% of women cheat and 90% of men do. But 'less' seems accurate.

I'm not keen on apricots.
