I used to roughneck with a great buy, always in a good mood and quick with a joke. We were working the "morning tour" - nights - and for several days he had been withdrawn and quiet. We were dropping him off at home after getting back to town and I made a joke that had been done a hundred or more times since I had worked the night shift "Hey Ross! Whose that running out your back door?" He opened up the door and went running around to the back of the house.

"You stupid *******." said the driller to me. "The reason he's been so moody all this week is he thinks his old lady is having someone over after he leaves for work."

I felt lower than a snake's belly. <sigh> Not long after that, we started picking up another guy, a fifth person after we picked up Ross. He would take Ross's place and we'd drive around the block and let Ross out and he would sneak back and slip into his back yard, waiting all night. It didn't take long, think three days and sure 'nuff, Ross caught them in the act.

I felt so bad for him and later, after I got married, I would sometimes work nights but thankfully my wife/now ex was trustworthy. I chased my rig around a few yrs. later, living in a trailer I'd move to the town closest to where the drilling location was and had loads of chances to cheat on my wife, but did not do it. Sure, I was tempted, but thought about how hurt she would be, how hurt I would be if the shoe was on the other foot.

I've seen lots of cheating between couples; it even happened to my own sister. It made me wonder why people even got married if they weren't going to honor their wedding vows "Cleave to no other". They made a promise to each other in front of their friends and families and most importantly, in front of God and to disregard that promise seems to me to be one of the worst sins outside of stealing, rape or murder.

When my ex found out about my bro.-in-law cheating on my sister, she asked me if I would ever cheat on her. I told her I wouldn't but if I did, she'd be the first to know. I would not want to keep that secret, it would tear me apart.

Great GUY, sheesh. Banged that out way too quick. Cheating is such a horrible thing.

A person,being unfaithful to another person, is terrible. I know of a guy that like's different female's, and I don't trust him.!
I unfortunately, live with him, till I find a better place to live!
Good day;

Excellent insightful revelations into the dark side of human nature :-(

Karma is a B-itch isn't it?
