What do you think of these 28 rules for a man to cheat-proof himself?

So my boyfriend was asking me about revising our boundary about not meeting the opposite sex one on one today,'cause he wants to catch up with an old friend. I'm uncomfortable with him meeting up with her but I don't know anyone our age who shares my opinions on cheating apart from an ex (who was very faithful) and a former serial-cheater friend (who followed my advice about dodgy situations and hasn't cheated now in over two years). I tried looking online for answers and stumbled on this website. http://www.examiner.com/article/how-...g-on-your-wife Just wondering what a young, educated audience thinks of these rules. These are intended for marriage... but I'm asking as if they could be applied to any committed relationship. 1. Never flirt with a woman other than your wife. It's too easy to take things to the next level. 2. If another woman flirts with you, comes on strong, or tries to seduce you, ignore her, change the subject, or make it clear that you're not interested. If none of these things work, remove yourself from the scene. 3. Avoid cultivating close personal relationships with other women. Close female friendships pave the way for emotional infidelity, which is the precursor to sexual infidelity. 4. Make sure your wife knows all your female co-workers, acquaintances, and friends. Secret female friendships can quickly turn into affairs. 5. Make sure your female friends, acquaintances and co-workers know that you are married, and not interested in any action on the side. 6. Make it equally clear to your male friends that you fully intend to remain faithful to your wife. 7. Limit your contact with men who are cheating on their mates. That way you won't fall victim to peer pressure, the "birds-of-a-feather syndrome," or cheating by association. 8. Confide in your wife and no one else. She's the one with whom you should share your hopes, dreams, good times, bad times, triumphs and failures. Make her your very best friend. Isn't that why you got married? 9. Discourage other women from confiding in you. 10. Refrain from getting involved in other women's personal problems. Many men get caught up in infidelity while trying to be "helpful." Trying to rescue a damsel in distress can get you into a world of trouble. 11. Avoid certain topics of conversation with other women – sex, her boyfriend's or husband's shortcomings, her marriage or relationship problems, your wife's faults, your marital problems. 12. Never complain to another woman about your marriage or your wife. 13. Avoid being alone with another woman. Why put yourself in harm's way? You're least likely to cheat when there are other people around. 14. Let your life be an open book when it comes to your wife.. You shouldn't keep secrets of any kind from her. 15. Share all your passwords with your wife - your cell phone, laptop, e-mail accounts, bank accounts and anything else. This way, you won't be tempted to conceal anything from her, because you can't. 16. At work, don't make a habit of taking your coffee break, or having lunch with the same female workmate everyday. 17. Don't socialize with female workmates during non-business hours unless your wife is present, or you're part of a group. 18. If you travel for work, always take your wife with you, whenever possible. 19. If it's not possible for your wife to accompany you when you travel, stay in constant touch with her. Give her your itinerary, and a land line where you can be reached. Let her know where you are at all times. 20. Spend quality time with your wife, doing things you both enjoy. 21. Share your passions, your hobbies, your favorite pastimes with your wife or with your male friends. Engaging in common interests with a female other than your wife only lays the groundwork for an extramarital affair. 22. Be especially careful if you're under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These substances lower your inhibitions, impair your judgment, and anything is likely to occur. 23. Avoid temptation. Do not put yourself in compromising situations. Why tempt fate? 24. Stay away from internet porn and online dating sites. Don't even take a peek to satisfy your curiosity. 25. Don't even think about being unfaithful to your wife. Thoughts precede actions. Fantasizing what it would be like to have sex with someone else allows the idea of infidelity to take root in your mind. 26. Think about all you stand to lose if you cheat, even if you don't get caught – your money, your marriage, your health (HIV/AIDS and other STD's), your reputation, your job and probably a whole lot more. Don't let your desire for sex overrule your common sense. 27. Keep the romance and passion alive in your marriage and you won't have to seek it anywhere else. 28. Learn to use the word "No." It's a small word – 2 letters, 1 syllable, easy to pronounce. Use it liberally and it will serve you well, especially if you find yourself in a compromising situation. It will go a long way toward helping you stay faithful, and will keep you from cheating on your wife. I personally, think 24 or 25 are a bit extreme. I don't think porn leads to cheating... and I think Freud or someone equally famous once said something a long the line of every man has bad thoughts, but only a bad man acts on these thoughts. I'd rather he fantasied then repressed his thoughts and exploded... Other than those two rules I pretty much agree with trying to stick to these rules... opinions?
