what does it mean to be unfaithful?

my thoughts on being unfaithful are downright strict. i have to say. i believe that if you do something that you cannot tell your significant other about, that is being unfaithful. i guess i believe in full disclosure. now the rules of your relationship can vary widely. you might have an open relationship. you might have a super-rigid relationship. whatever. but if you can't talk about what you are doing, you are in breach of contract.

i think this extends into email, phone calls, lunches, etc. if you are having conversations that you can't tell your partner about... you better be looking at your actions.

so what do you think? too puritanical?

meanwhile...

my mom and i saw unfaithful last night. this was a great movie. diane lane was my favorite actress when i was 12. she was my idol. she owns her character in unfaithful. i can't imagine a better performance. salon ripped this movie to shreds, but you can rarely trust their reactionary, overopinionated reviewers. i agree with them about a quarter of the time, if that. but it's always interesting to read their take nonetheless.

currently listening to leonard cohen, ten new songs. and, ironically in regards to this entry, my favorite song is hands down "in my secret life." (you can hear a clip on the amazon site).
