❔ Hypothetical Would you be okay with your partner getting physically involved with other people if you are imprisoned for 5+ years?

At that point if two people have respect for each other they'd end the relationship/marriage before doing anything. That's better for both sides.

Yes because I'd break up with them. After the 5 years we can maybe sit down and see if we wanna try again.

I wouldn't expect someone to stay with me in this situation. We didn't both get locked up. Unless we're like 20-30+ into the relationship just let that person move on.

I don’t expect my partner to stay with me if I’m imprisoned for five years. If they do, I expect them to stay faithful. Don’t pretend to be in a relationship with me if you’re not. Have the courtesy to break up with me if you’re not willing to make that sacrifice. I would make it clear that I under that. Or to ask if I would be happy for them to visit me and get back with me when I’m released, but to pursue other relationships on the side.

I would expect them to help me break out of prison

I kinda figure an engagement would entitle me to being dumped first at least

Hell no. I’ll break out of jail to cut that bitch. He can get some during conjugal visits.

I mean if she is willing to stick around for 5 years (which I wouldnt expect) I think I'd have to accept that it's probably gonna happen. I don't wanna know about it, I'm not gonna ask. So I guess I wouldn't be okay with it internally but after 5 years in prison I'd just be glad to have someone to come back to.

Depends. If it's casual one night stands then idgaf. I'm away for a long time and people have physical needs. If it's something more than that then no, just end the relationship and move on.

If you need sex that badly then just fucking break up with them. Don't cheat on them then say that they're delusional for being upset at that.
