Nope...

Cheating = lie = broken trust = no commitment.

Well said La

If anyone agrees that their is a reason for cheating they have never
been in a relationship that they could not live without. To those who
think that a good reason exists, wait until one you love does it to you,
or you do it to the one you cannot live without and that person is gone.

My question is why you would feel the need to hurt another person that
way. It is much simpler and easier to tell your partner it is over.
Cheating in my book is a cowards way.

Just an opinion from a man who has never and would never cheat or
forgive cheating.

who? would even think of anything like that if they felt they couldn't
live without the other person?
no

i would imagine the feeling of the cheating individual to be,, neglected
or arrogance or just plain"i can get away with this i'm soooooo sneaky"

If there's one lesson I've learned in my life, it's that there is no one
on the face of the earth I "cannot live without."

Except, that is, when I start living "without" myself -- in other words,
doing things or thinking thoughts to make myself feel unworthy or
unloved, especially in the context of a romantic relationship.

If someone wrongs me, sure, it hurts like hell. But I won't hesitate to
show them the door--in a heartbeat. I've lost and loved several times
over. And I'm still breathing.


IMO, no human being is worth thinking you "can't live without them,"
whether that's meant figuratively or literally.

There are no excuses. Ever. Period.

Go without it for a year? What if you go to jail, for life? No conjugal
visits, because you are not married. will you turn to your cellmate for
assistance?

There are no excuses for cheating. Break it off and move on.

I do agree there is no reason, you should get out of the situation
before you turn to someone else. This is coming from someone who made
excuse after excuse, knowing I was wrong in the end.

I dont think theres ever a need for cheating. I do however consider sex
a need. I dont just mean f*cking, Im talking everything involved. Odds
are if your not having sex your also not getting other parts of the
physical or emotional side to love. At that point its not time to cheat
its time to move on.

My breaking point was 2 months, no sex, no communication, no eye
contact... Apperently "get the **** out" is a damn good aphrodisiac...

lmao@papa


let me tell you all a story of a gentleman I respect above almost every
mon alive this day.
His nam eis robert and he was my sister-in-laws live in boyfriend. The
ywere married in all senses except the human law. Fter five years of
living together, he was so tired and weary of dealing with my
sister-in-laws issues (drama queen; and for htos of you that rmember hte
sitcom "monk" think of her as a female version), he found himself
looking for someone else. he starteed talking to her about how he felt.
Then when he "hit it off" with an ex girlfriend, he stepped back and
told the ex that ntohing (not even a kiss) was gonna happen until he had
a chance to tell my sister in law it was over. He waited one week to do
so causeit was christmas weekend and he did nt want to spoil the
holiday, but over new ears eve, he told my sister-in-law that they were
through and he had fouind someone else. He allowed my sister in law to
continue living withhim until she found an apartment, hleped her move,
and offered her half the household when she did. To the best of my
knowledge, they are still friends today. ANd that entire WEEK he
waited? he did nto even see his ex girlfriend let alone cheat on my
sister-in-law.
As far as I am concerend he is a REAL man, no matter what. He
recognizedthe issues, and he faced them. and he did not lie or hide
anything from my sister-in-law.

Yes the affairs were escapes from lots of other problems. We had really
screwed our lives up.
My point is simply, EVERYONE handles problems differently.
I have made some hard statements in the past & have ate a lot of them
later on.
I don't want people to think divorce/ending something is the only
answer. Look for the source of the real problem & then decide your
course of action. Many marriages/relationships have been saved, by
gutrenching/soul searching work & came out stronger for their work.

Please, Please, NEVER say NEVER. always leave room for change of
situations/thoughts.

No there is no excuse ... but there is a way to make a person you love
not to cheat. Try to control headaches(females), care for him/her ...
Make them feel loved.


and ... i do believe people who made a mistake ... have all rights to be
trusted again. They deserve another chance.

That's life ...and it is no simple.
