If A Spouse Says "I Almost Went To Bed With Someone", Is That The Same As Cheating Or Grounds For Separation Or Divorce?

[Billy Wall]

I ask this question because both Bobby (with Jenna) and Pam (with Alex Ward) has said it to each other.

I have nothing else to say, but I was curious on everyone's opinion on it

If they almost cheated with Bradford Dillman, then - yes!! -- Chase get the hell out!!

If you are separated and almost cheated with John Back, then -- honey, it's okay, at least you were honest. Kissee, kissee!

 

[Willie Oleson]

To me it's the same as "I almost NOT went to bed with someone".

A whore is a whore.

I'd say it's definitely grounds for an immediate call to a marriage counselor, and while the spouse get points for not actually going through with it, they better show up for the appointment if they know what's good for them.

Lol, I've always suspected that the real reason Natalie Wood was in such a hurry to get off of the boat that night was that she found Robert Wagner in bed with Christopher Walkin. I'd throw myself into the ocean if my husband would rather.sleep with Christopher Walkin than me too.

as long as you didn’t try a few Frenchmen while you were there..

Pam coming close to going to bed with the insipid Alex Ward (as I recall, she was seconds away from making the plunge when the phone rang and it was Bobby calling) should have been grounds for divorce, dissolution, full abandonment, comprehensive shunning, and a lifetime of mandatory involuntary weekly poodle perms.

I mean, it's grounds for separation and possible divorce, but really depends on the marriage and the circumstances. If the marriage has been stable and this is the first hiccup, I would probably be inclined to try to forgive and work through the problem. If it wasn't a good marriage to begin with, yeah, it would probably be the final straw for me.

It depends on the situation. I'll use examples from other shows because I can't think of amyone else on Dallas who almost went to bed with someone. They all did. If it's Mike Stivic on All in the Family because Bernadette Peters through herself at him, Mike is tempted but he loves Gloria, I'd say no. If it's Krystle on Dynasty almost going to bed with Nick Toscanni because her marriage is going through a rough patch but she values her marriage, I'd say no but they have a lot of work to do on the marriage. Pam and Alex Ward they need to so a lot of work because it only didn't happen because of a phone call. If its Mack on Knots Landing with Paula and Jill I'd say no but Mack has to workout his issues with aging.
