With the exception of maybe Aksel (maybe), I don't think anyone did.

you know the tendency is there

Cheaters are bad people. The only people that might be worse than cheaters are people who call the good people (non-cheaters) 'self-righteous' and 'holier than thou'.

I'm too good for that.

Yes, that´s me!
I´m the woot of all evil!

I never have and never would. I think it's disgusting to cheat on someone.

.. this thread is full of lies..

Nope, never have. And, given the pain I've seen it cause,

I feel that people who cheat either aren't ready for a relationship or shouldn't be in their current relationship.

Not mine.

If you were able to get him, then I'm guessing he's not straight.

I don't have a record for cheating on someone.

Never have, never will.

Who in their right mind would cheat on a husband like mine anyway?!

I think people who "cheat"
are simply being true to their human nature

People who demand fidelity suffer from lack of self knowledge and are not ready for an honest relationship with anyone

Rightly said:

I'd say exactly the opposite.

If you want an open relationship, then have one. It's not cheating if your partner is OK with or even encourages it. Just don't make promises you can't keep. As long as all are open about their expectations of a partner and a relationship, no one would ever have to cheat.

And if you have made a commitment to remain monogamous and decide you can no longer keep it, TELL the person. Have the dignity and balls to end the relationship before betraying someone.

CarrieMpls said:

But here you´re not saying the opposite.

I´m sure we have our differences, but with what you´ve just weitten I am in agreement

Rightly said:

ahhh... I meant people who demand fidelity are not suffering from a lack of self-knowledge and so on. I'd say cheaters are. If they'd only commit to what they are willing to do there would be no cheating.

I know for a fact I could not handle being with a partner who had sex with others. That's my self-knowledge and honesty. And if a guy can't do that I'd MUCH rather he tell me and move along to the next girl.

But as for being open and honest, yeah, I think we're in agreement.

CarrieMpls said:

Absolutely! If you know you won't be able to commit to being monogamous, don't do it! It's unfair to lead someone on to believe that you are in a monogamous relationship when that is not the case.

Zero.

so are we limiting the definition of "cheating" to strictly the physical aspects? or would you include the fostering and nurturing romantic feelings for someone else outside of the relationship and spending time with them, even if nothing physical happens?

I've never cheated.

It may not be the best idea when you are in a relationship, but it ain't cheating.

For all the people saying Oh no I would never cheat your only saying that because you havent got anyone else after you. When you look the way I do your always going to have lots of options and thats when it can be difficult to turn down all these girls.

It depends on how much you love the person though. I'm guessing you've never actually loved, like really LOVED a girl before. You might like someone you're dating really really much but that's not the same thing. Untill you love someone you won't understand where all these people who say they wouldn't cheat come from. There are certain people I would and wouldn't cheat on depending on how much I liked them at the time. I never actually did though

I would have to say "If Your Girl Only Knew" by Aaliyah, or TLC's "Creep".
