Eve Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I don't cheat because I don't need to. Being realistic I understand these things happen and tend to term all of that stuff as 'temptations'. I think that if you stay close to God/ones conscience it is possible to uncover a need or aspect of oneself that is lacking and move on and be a better person. But this is not always so because people can have a flawed conscience/perception of God. All in all I don't care much for people who cheat and often don't respect those who put up with such things. I prefer to be around more balanced people because they are free to do more interesting things. Mostly I see life as a puzzle and objectively problem solve rather than jump into situations which are unhealthy. I also see some people as simply being marked to be unable to achieve any better than their situation because they often unwittingly have given up their personal freedom - but don't know it... and so they are unable to change.

Kelemort Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Certainly I've been tempted to cheat because I have not always been happy in my relationship - and you're definitely right. The kind of 'love' we see in movies is almost always infatuation. We expect that kind of chemical high to progress throughout our entire relationship - and when it doesn't, we move on. Move on. Move on. He says something you don't like? Upgrade. But sooner or later you just have to live with it - I don't mean you settle for an abusive hunk of crap because you can't do better. But you decide what you can and can't live with - you accept what you like, and you accept the flaws. I don't cheat because I can understand how devastating it would be to my boyfriend. Because I would lose him. Because despite everything that's gone wrong, I trust him and I want him to trust me. Because after the fantasy is over, at the thought of being with somebody else, I realize that EVERYONE has their flaws. Sooner or later that super-hot, tempting guy would present problems, and I can't spend a lifetime making upgrades. Link to post Share on other sites
