health Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 You know what I concluded? The "cheater" cheats himself/herself the greatest. I believe this because the grass is not greener on the other side. These people are looking at the situation through rose colored glasses. When you cheat on someone who is honest you end up cheating your slef the worst. I heard how people lost it all. does anyone here have any filure stories that happened to people who have cheated? The worst thing is to leave one partner for another. Are there any success stories...where one person gets hurt bad....the other person leaves for another lover..and those cheaters actually live long happy lives together? I see it as these people get blinded by outside love. If your present marriage is bad, why not get a divorce quick? Thats what they should do, then chill and meet someone after like 2 years. I think infidelity is a horrible crime...why don't people go to jail for it? They should! Link to post Share on other sites
Karlise13 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Personally, I don't think making infidelity illegal will change much. Drinking alcohol was illegal for a number of years and what did that do? Just made it that much more enticing! My grandmother told me the first thing she did when she came to this country was to find a speakeasy where she and her friends could have some fun. Speakeasies were the hippest thing around, back in the day, simply because they were 'verboten'. Anyway, I do agree with your point. Cheaters cheat themselves. They cheat themselves out of genuine, living relationships. Anything shrouded in lies is tragic. Even if a relationship fails, if it was honest you gained something from it...whether that be insight or self-respect. A false relationship only reinforces the cheaters' view of the world that people are essentially bad and you have to weave together lies and falsehoods to gain anything. And what about the person who cheats with the cheater? It takes two, of course. So the cheater's ideas about relationships, again, is reinforced; You can't trust anyone, the one you love best is also a cheater and might cheat again. Link to post Share on other sites
