I really screwed myself this time.

I think in the history of human kind there hasn't been a single instance where one partner slipped, their spouse never knew anything about it, and there was ZERO negative consequences to the relationship because of it.
Now, those negative consequences may not rise to the level of threatening the "long and happy life together", but they aren't zero.
If I lose a quarter tomorrow - it isn't going to to threaten my financial well being. If I don't know about it, I'm none the wiser.
But I'm still $0.25 poorer - whether I know or not, whether it matters significantly or not.

Ok, how would you like to define it?
well I mean, kicks for a woman can be anything. They're generally a happier species than men are. And generally men are always suspicious when their women are happy after they haven't seen the man all day.....
Potentially, yes.
...and in many cases (usually involving folks with an inability to be faithful) - no relationship is the BEST relationship they could possibly be in.
Okay, I thought it was fairly obvious that by "kicks" we were referring to extramarital sex. In context, does that not make sense?

Are they?
Generally or always? Why would a man be suspicious if his woman was happy after not seeing him all day if women are generally happier than men are?

I daresay in some cases it may have had a positive effect, in the long run. You know, like investing a quarter and making a buck. Not something I would want for myself, but you cant speak for everyone and say "zero negative effect". Relationships can be complicated things.
I don't know. I'm probably just turning this thread into another knot. But yes, women are generally happier than men. They simply don't concentrate on things the way men do.
Perhaps. I always thought my woman seemed happy after not seeing me all day because, lo and behold, there I finally was for her to see. I was never suspicious of that. But maybe I should be

idk. When I see a woman smiling I usually think "she must know she's ****ing with some guy's head really good".
Absolutely... but even that doesn't mean there were no negative effects, it only means the negatives were outweighed by the positives.
Actually, I can.
The negative effects may be tiny, they may be outweighed by positive effects, etc... but they are still there.
Suboptimal would be the term I'd use.
Could be. I certainly dont have details into everyones relationships, but I'd think thats a pretty poor way to view the reasons behind a womans smile.
My girlfriend and I are constantly smiling, because we make each other laugh.
She could be effing with my head, but I'd prefer to give her the benefit of the doubt and presume it genuine until proven otherwise.
By that token, why bother with relationships? Stay single, go out and mingle.
Or find a girl into the idea of an open relationship.
