Does everyone have a concience? A002702: I ask this question b/c I truly believe my stbx may have none. I found out last night that she had a one night stand when we were dating. I know it has been 6 years ago but I knew the night she went out and did not come back to her apartment. I asked her where she was and she told me she went to a friends house and that she slep on the couch. I questioned her hard b/c I was considering breaking it off if she slept with him. she told me the couch story over and over so I trusted her and we continued to date and eventually marry. Now she has cheated on my I asked her about that night. She now tells me that she did sleep with the guy and that she didnt want to tell me b/c she didnt want to ruin a good relationship. I feel like if I would have known the truth then, I may not have married her and may not be going thru this heartache now. I know hind sight is 20/20 but things could have been different. How can she live with that lie for 6 years? So I ask, are there people out there born without a concience and dont care that they hurt others?

Re:Does everyone have a concience? ambergem: Just my $0.02....but I'd say that lying shows she does have a conscience, she's just too damn immature to own up to what she's done and would rather lie than admit it.
Re:Does everyone have a concience? mightymouse: just like my @$$ husband... not man enough to admit that he had an affair eventhough i caught him, not man enough to say i'm sorry and apoligize, not man enough to call at all.... but man enough to cheat on his wife who cared and loved him and was there for him 24/7!!!
Re:Does everyone have a concience? Shanna: Some people do lack morals and others just lack common sense. I think the biggest problem is selfishness.
Re:Does everyone have a concience? LostTeacher: I think it's part fear, part pain. they don't want to deal with those two emotions, so they shut down, and appear to have no conscience. i mean, how else could you really explain how all of these people that we once had relationships with suddenly were able to turn it all off, and act like they never even knew us? i mean, that might not be the case for all of us, but it sure sounds like a lot of us are dealing with the same things, an ex that turned off the feelings, and appears not to care. but what we need in our lives are people who do care, who do know that this is not the way to treat someone you love, and that we deserve better. even if we love that person, the one that leaves is not the one you originally fell in love with, that person is gone, and that is who you are grieving for.
