1. What is cheating?
Cheating is whatever is outside the "rules" of your relationship. If there are no set rules, it's defined by whatever you wouldn't want your partner to do, or what you'd feel guilty telling your partner about.

2. According to your definition of the word, have you ever cheated on anybody?
Nope

If yes:
A) Did your partner find out?
B) Did he/she forgive you?
C) Why did you do it?
D) Give a brief description of when and how it happened.

3. As far as you know, has anybody ever cheated on you?
Yes

If yes:
A) What was your immediate reaction when you found out?
I took a hit of acid and cried all day. It was a long time ago.
B) What were the consequences for your relationship?
We stayed together for quite some time after, but I never trusted him again. Without trust, there's not much of a relationship.

4. When, if ever, is cheating forgivable?
When someone is truly remorseful and both partners find they can learn, grow and move on. If both aren't solidly committed to all of those pieces, well, you can forget it.

1. What is cheating?
I like Carrie's definition.

2. According to your definition of the word, have you ever cheated on anybody?
Yes

If yes:
A) Did your partner find out?
Yes, I told her.

B) Did he/she forgive you?
Yes, she did.

C) Why did you do it?
I ask myself that a lot even five years after it happened. It was a combination of many things...an unhappy marriage, a great friend who felt as I did that I ended up getting too close to, depression due to my dad passing away and also due to a recent miscarriage, curiosity of never having been with anyone besides the woman I married, etc.

D) Give a brief description of when and how it happened.
When is from about 5 to 7 years ago. How? We were good friends from work that just had too many problems of our own that we came together in trying to help each other out. It never went past anything besides one kiss, but it could have very easily.

3. As far as you know, has anybody ever cheated on you?
No

If yes:
A) What was your immediate reaction when you found out?
n/a

B) What were the consequences for your relationship?
n/a

4. When, if ever, is cheating forgivable?
When the trust between you and your significant other has been justified again, commitments are renewed, and the person resposible is truly sorry for what they've done.
