Jean posted.:-What toby was objecting to was disrespect as a verb; the examples Hunny gave above were of the noun, which has never dropped out of use, but the verb also goes back to the C17.
(Sensible people know better than to attempt pedantry when I am around.)
Toby comments.:- Good try Jean ! I really mean that !! I do object to folk using the word slightly modified as a Verb, it does not seem to fit correctly in speech and then you get that awful ,"Dissing", which was invented by semi-literate folk whose poor command of English forced them to improvise. If people want to use these words I don't mind but there are better ones !

It wasn't merely a try, toby. It was game, set and match. The word doesn't need 'modifying' to be used as a verb, and it's been used that way for as long as it's been used as a noun. That's a different matter. But if f you want to object to it on this thread, perhaps you should wait until someone actually uses it?

What would you rather forgive; an affair or brutality?
And any normal woman (or man) would ask themselves WHY their partner had strayed and wonder if they'd maybe not been as good a wife or husband as they could have been and try to change themselves to be more capable of being that.
I suppose if you take a self-centred view then you think it's all about vanity
but if you take a more - I dunno, rounded view of things - you realise it;s not that simple.

Maybe I'm just not getting my point across properly. Le'ts try and make it a bit clearere. What I'#m saying is that if things go wrong in a relationshjips it's preetty uncommon for one partner to be an angel and the other one to be totally in the wrong. What I'm saying is you need to look at both parties. And i think theyre ware worse crimes than adultery anhyhow That's all I'm saying.

oh I see , then I agree you need to look at Both not just at one. there's far too many people who commit adultery and don't value their relationships imo and that in turn leads to the breakdown in family life which is one of the reasons society is in the mess it is.

I've had temptations but have never committed adultry.
I would leave one relationship before entering into another one. I've flirted, been tempted, I've gotten crushes on people, I've thought the grass could be greener on the other side,- but I'm not one to go engage in a pointless night of passion with someone married or vise versa.
I truly believe the only honorable way is to get out of one relationship before having another.
Adultry is wrong and immoral!
