I'd rather take my chances then be single all my life.

I'm a firm believer in steak and blowjobs, it'll keep a man around for a while.

I believe once you’ve made a commitment to someone you should honor that commitment and talk to them first when 1 or 5 or 15 years down the road you discover you’re not going to be able to keep it.

I believe very, very few men are capable of the above when it comes to sex, so I’ll likely remain single for the rest of my life.

But I also feel that in no way should people be "more forgiving" of infidelity. People should be more fucking faithful.

Hell yeah!!

Something like that...all trust is gone.
If a gun wasn't put to your head to force u into anything...it's over.
I can forgive over-time, but trust never comes back.
Without trust, a relationship makes no sense.

I can't deal wit being paranoid about if u really going where u say u're going etc...
I'll be miserable in my paranoia, therefore makin u miserable wit my constant interrogation...
not a relationship worth stayin in at all imo.
I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh

Absofuckinglutely deal breaker , not acceptable in any way shape or form .

Maybe Im just old fashioned but if you gonna put it around elsewhere at least have the decency and honesty not to mention respect for your partner to break it off with them first

If any one of my parents had affairs then it up to them to forgive or not. What transpires in their relationship is none of my business. If they get divorced because of it, I'm sure there were more issues involved than just the cheating. What they do with their lives ... they do with their lives. I have mine to live.

This reminded me of that great Pauline Kael quotation that Springsteen used in the song "Over the Rise":

Is a promise that love couldn't keep
Same as a promise broken?


But, I digress.

I would have to agree. lol

Men are pussies. nod


When it comes to pussy, then yeah we are. lol

And to answer the question: Cheating is the dealbreaker for me. There is no second chance.

If another woman decides she wants to forgive her man, good on her.

In the case of the governor that got caught cheating, I think in his particular case, his wife is a stupid bitch. You are not going to ask me if you can go to Argentina to be with your side piece.

For me, it would be the fuckery more than the dishonesty.

The idea of my husband touching someone else makes me fucking demon CRAYZAY demon, way more than the idea of him lying to me. I mean, the lying doesn't sound so hot either. But the cheating itself is definitely what would make me burn this motherfucker down.


but if he comes to you and tells you that he has been feeling drawn to Sue the secretary before hand, you all can try to work things out together rather than him, just getting busy with her and trying to hide it


That just makes the shit worse. Just no,no, and no.

It depends on the understanding they have with their s.o. If both people are on the same page (e.g. open relationship, what constitutes "cheating", etc.) then I don't think they can be upset if the other one has an affair. (Is it called an affair if you know about it, or is an affair always carried out secretly?)

For me, personally, it's a dealbreaker, and I make that 100% clear from the beginning.
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

I don't think the big issue with affairs is the actual act as much as it is the dishonesty.

If I was seeing someone and he was feeling attracted to/ interested in someone else, I would want to know straight up. To me, that's not a big deal, it's human nature even.

But if he were to hide that from me and keep me in the dark, that would hurt alot.


I could forgive sleeping with someone else, but I couldn't forgive dishonesty



This, is pretty much it for me. If you're in a relationship with someone and you're feeling compelled to cheat then let the person go. It's the lying and sneaking around that I don't understand. I swear I don't get it. I mean, I understand that it's difficult to end relationships and not wanting to hurt anyone, blah, blah, blah... but ultimately, why sneak and cheat when you can simply be single and see and sleep with whomever you wish?

What's so difficult about that?

Cheating is not a deal breaker for me, but the aftermath of dealing with one person's dishonesty (over anything) is what usually tears two people apart. I just would find it hard to not be suspicious of him, I mean that 'what if' is always there in a relationship, but the 'what if again' is much harder to get past.

But him fucking someone else, I could get over that.


And it really depends on the way the relationship was going before the infidelity. I do think some couples can move past cheating.

I definitely agree with this. I think it's possible to move past it and have a happy and healthy relationship after, for some people at least.

And even for myself, I don't think I'd know until I was actually in that situation. (Which I have been, but then, every relationship is different...) But I'm 99% sure it's not something I could get over.
