Stop giving it up and a man will go elsewhere. You have a right to say no, but he also has a right to find it elsewhere.

I feel like what Adrienne & Lonie were talking about is not cheating, it's an open relationship where the partners have decided that it's okay to get that fulfillment from elsewhere and there are ground rules in place. Cheating is betrayal and that's never okay.

Jeannie, thank you for respecting marriage rules.

I side eye Adrienne when it comes to cheating. She seems to make a lot of excuses for it. I'm with Jeannie & Garcelle, it's NEVER OK.

Neglecting your partner is breaking your marriage vows.

I love Garcelles inputs she fits in so nicely on the show

Why dont they EVER talk about different sex drives? And how important it is to be with someone with a similar sex drive as you?! I'm telling you, it would solve a lot of problems surrounding sex!

I feel like cheating is lying and being sneaky and avoiding the problem. If two grown adults can agree and say “hey we’ve tried to work on this sexless marriage and my needs aren’t being met is there a possibility of having an open marriage.” an open marriage is a big conversation. If one person doesn’t agree to an open marriage and one insists on one.. a divorce should happen. HOWEVER an honest open marriage is a possibility if both adults agree.

To answer the question, no it doesn’t give you grounds to cheat you need to communicate with your partner and if it doesn’t get better I think it’s time to leave. Sex is a huge part of a relationship

You can not withhold sex from your partner…how abusive that must be! To expect to abandon someone or neglect them and not think they aren’t gonna go where they feel wanted is crazy for someone to think and it would be very normal for a being to do so in such circumstance!

This is why marriages fail. What happened through sickness and in health? I understand needs, but love is sacrifice.. cheating is selfish and will lead to more problems and it is definitely not loving and clinging to your spouse. This is a worldly answer regarding marriage, which is a spiritual gift from God. Worldly answers for spiritual questions will always create chaos and confusion.

There is NEVER any excuse for cheating. Whatever the reasons may be for the loss of intimacy, cheating will only create additional challenges within the marriage. The vows exchanged were for better and for worse; therefore, that couple must confront their problems and work to resolve them. Regardless of the circumstances, cheating should never be accepted and rationalized.

[veronicalamkin]

I don’t believe in cheating but if your partner doesn’t love you enough to care about your needs it’s human nature to seek intimacy elsewhere and where it’s wanted and appreciated

[yogaqueen]

People act like they can't live without sex. Geez

[risahs]

Adrienne has to try blur the line because she cheated before and her husband too, cheating is never right

[YSLDIVA]

Cheating is not the first and only form of betrayal. Someone who is choosing to be selfish by giving you a sexless marriage is taking you for granted / taking advantage of you, especially if you’re not in a position to simply just leave them . Men don’t have to remain impotent for life, once it happens.

[adriennedeontesmith]

Adrienne is only saying that because her husband was a serial cheater on his ex wife, she is trying to justify his actions by saying no intimacy is grounds for cheating.

[Shessunshine]

I’m with Jeannie on this one ☝🏼 come on people it’s in the vows!! “through sickness and in health” …what are you guys signing up for when you say “ I Do” ?!?! If you’re not gonna commit.

[k.simmons]

Wait, WHOA 😳…… 5 years, 5 YEARS?! I’m shocked he is still with her. This falls COMPLETELY on the lady because I can Guarantee that he has had FULL conversations with her and she did NOT want to comply. Sorry, not sorry. People need to seriously STOP denying their sexual desires and get with someone who is going to meet them sexually as well as any other way.

[BriaBarrows]

I love how Jeannie respects herself and values marriage. Yes for choosing you.
