Is "almost" everyone a cheater?

[mdennison]

Honestly, out of 14 people I know in relationships, 12 cheat(or want to cheat). Do you find similar figures with your friends? It seems that this is becoming the norm in society...


BTW: only 4 are married, the others are just "going out".

 

[Elita1]

Nope.

 

[peemo]

No

 

[Electric Amish]

None of my friends are married.

Anyway, I'm the cheater of the group, anyway.

amish

 

[polm]

Not all....

 

[mdennison]

LOL@Amish I was asking some of my co-workers, and they said it is so "i'm" not lonely. I just got out of a 3 year relationship and WANT to be single for awile. Hmmm...their point-of-view has me thinking...

I've found myself tempeted lately... My woman is 3 states away for more than a month and I live with a girl and hang out with mostly girls... sooo.... You just have to think how you would feel if they did that to you or just about how they would feel, I love my woman so it's just not worth it.

I have to admit that I know some cheaters and was once myself a cheater. Speaking for myself, I don't mean to cheat. It's just that sometimes I want experience different things with different people yet not lose the core of what I treasure most. which is my partner. Yet it is a selfish act and I realize that now. Now if i want to go out with another girl, I either break up with the girl I am currently in or not cheat at all for the sake of the relationship.

I often wonder the same thing.
Close family - only one couple where both partners are faithful.
Friends - none, one or the other has been playing outside the relationship at one time or another.

How old are your friends mdennison?

All I can say is that kids seem pretty darn permiscuous(sp?) nowadays, and are having lots of sex at an early age.

 

[adams]

I don't think that my close friends cheat. I'm happily married and would not cheat on my wife (nor would I want to).

 

[bigd480]

<< (or want to cheat) >>

that begs the question: is wanting to cheat as wrong as cheating?
which usually gets the response (from many women): &quot;of course!&quot;
which begs the rebuttle: is thinking cheating is wrong and doing it anyways the same as thinking it's fine but not cheating?

 

[pulpp]

nope not all people

 

[monto]

<< Nope. >>

agreed

 

[Total Refected Power]

No. While I see lovely ladies all the time why would I want to destroy the most precious thing in my life? She is too wonderful and I love her too much.

Between ages 18-24

I don't know if I can ever be faithful again, but I got a lot of time ahead and will find out!

No, it is not. Temptation is part of being human.

I have more than a few freinds who cheat on thier girlfreinds. They dont understand the concept of not getting into a relationship if you still want to pork around. People (here) say I am a pig, because I dont give a commitment, but at least I dont cheat, I think that is way worse.

 

[kvelouria]

&quot;is wanting to cheat as wrong as cheating?&quot;

Wanting to cheat is as bad as cheating, but actually acting on it is worse. Don't ask how that works, because I don't feel like explaining female logic right now.

&quot;is thinking cheating is wrong and doing it anyways the same as thinking it's fine but not cheating?&quot;

If you do something even though you know it's wrong, I don't see why anyone would want to be with you. At least the latter has enough common sense to NOT go looking for someone else.

 

[mdennison]

Talking about female logic, the two that don't cheat are guys.

 

[slpaulson]

I can't say I hang around with cheaters.

 

[Rage187]

I want to cheat, but my wife would kill me..

<< female logic >>



Huh?

<< female logic >>

I am not sure I understand that one either, and I am female.

I asked a co-worker this question and he said(engaged 1 year): &quot;I think about it more than I do it, i'm a good person.&quot; lol
