I get so sick of hearing the reason I cheated is because I was depressed or I was happy or I was working too hard or blah blah blah. The reason you cheated is because you lack moral character and strength and in general are shitty to the person that you are supposed to love the most in the world.
And yes...if you cheat once you cannot with certainty say you will not do it again because you have already failed that test. Obviously if the right situation arrises you cannot be trusted. | |

Yes.
Sometimes it's difficult to resist temptation... oh, I don't know, I think there can be so many factors involved in cheating on your partner. Temptation, not ready for a monogamous relationship, your heart being with an ex and jumping into a new relationship too early, problems within your relationship that were never resolved, drugs/alcohol, immaturity or plain straight up, not being able to control your urges and not caring one bit about the feelings of the person your with and needing to take all that's ready and willing. The latter, those people I think are those that "once a cheater, always a cheater" describes. The others, well, I think that those are the ones that make their "mistake" and can honestly never do it again and maybe learn from it. And, I guess I'm not so sure that we're really programmed to be with one person for the rest of our lives. That is not saying that I feel one should cheat on their partner. Eh, but that's another topic entirely, I guess. | |

There really isn't any grey areas when it comes to having no moral character or inner strenth or a sense of what is right and wrong. If you need to cheat end the relationship you are in. It's as simple as that. | |

It's as simple as that. Well i see it differently, people do learn from mistakes rather u believe in that or not. I mean its like if u did something at work and they told u if u do it again u are fired will u do it again. NO. So people do learn from mistakes u know. Bill Clinton did it so u have no respect for him? | |

Bill Clinton did it so u have no respect for him? I gather you have cheated on someone and need to justify it to yourself. The problem with your justifications is that you are acting as if people have no prior knowledge that cheating is wrong. As for Bill Clinton...I have zero respect for a man who will look the American public in the eye and lie and as he is leaving office SELLS pardons. Bill Clinton is a snake. Granted he is a likeable snake but still a snake. | |

It's as simple as that. you are right instead of cheating they should just end the relationship. but to say they have no moral charactor i think is a bit too much. we are all human and some of us make choices that are not in our best interest. it is well know that martin luther king was not faithful to his wife, but that does not mean that he was lacking moral charactor, it just means he's human. no everybody doesn't cheat, but just as they may not cheat but be abusive. | |

It's as simple as that. I don't think anyone's saying cheating is "right". The topic at hand is can you move on after one person in the relationship has cheated. Obviously, you couldn't. For some people, they can. I think each circumstance is unique, there isn't one way that's gonna work for everybody. So get off your moral high horse already.  |

If you read the posts in this thread you will find many people making excuses for people who cheat which in turn is making it alright and it is not. It's not a moral high horse it is simply what is right and what is wrong. I get so tired of people making excuses for all their shitty behaviours. Nothing is ever anyones fault. As for taking someone back. Nope because I wouldn't respect them. | |

As for taking someone back. Nope because I wouldn't respect them. I hear what you're saying. And I agree there are no excuses. But I've also known people in my life who have cheated. They are good people who have made mistakes. I don't think any of them thought what they were doing was OK, in fact I've seen them wracked with guilt over it. So I think under certain circumstances, a couple can work things out eventually. Easy to do? Hell no! Possible? yes. for some. |

luv4u said: saintsation said: According to 98 percent of the people on here thats not the case including me. It takes bad things to make relatioships stronger. I know if me and my significant other really get back together i will not even look at anybody else like that no matter how high or depress i get. When I am in a relationship I don't look at any other man, or get involved with another man or flirt. I am loyal and expect the same from the other person. When you get cheated on then the trust is gone - No trust, no relationship. cutie!
