Eventually we all do get married. Do you think an affair, serious or not, affects person's personality after marriage? Does one becomes open minded if he/she had an affair before getting married because I have witnessed that in west things like past relationships, marriage and even kids are not issues like they are in the East.
It does effect you in the West. Heck, when you have too many past relationsips, even gorays will label you as a slut or tramp (where East and West unite - women always get labeled, though it takes two to tango). Having kids effects your future relationships- many men don't want don't want to date women with "baggage"-- and they're are dangers to it too-- espeially women with daughters--OH THE STORIES IN THE PAPER OF STEPFATHERS molesting their step daughters, etc.!!!
