Do you think once a cheat always a cheat?

It has been my experience that once someone crosses that line of cheating, they are capable of doing it again. I believe that some people are truly remorseful and would never do it again, but I would have a hard time ever trusting again if it were done to me. This is just my experience. I have used that quote many times, though: "Once a cheater, always a cheater".

Learn little bit of NLP. You will never be cheated again.

No, I don't. I don't believe that if someone had cheated in the past that they will cheat on everyone they are with. However I believe that if someone cheats on someone that they are in a relationship with that says they don't love that person as they should and shouldn't be in a relationship with them.

No, it is not necessary to believe in that! Some time people cheat for just to do odd thing they never had done before. For those only one time cheating is enough! But few people are cheating in a matter they always want to be hold that and in that case you cant do anything! there are sevaral example around us and we may not aware at all!

I think it depends on why the person cheats. Not that there is any excuse, but usually there are problems in the relationship to begin with. Some people cheat just for the pleasure of it I am sure, but I think a lot of people cheat because they are sad or lonely or there is something missing in their relationship, still others cheat for a way to escape. I don't believe that it's true that once a cheater always a cheater in all cases. I think every situation is different, and each person is different. Some people cheat and then feel terrible about it, I guess it depends on how much a consious a person has and how contrite they are. Of course there are those who cheat over and over without a second thought, and then I don't know how they can live with themselves.

Well I am half and half. I really do believe that once someone cheats they will do it again but I have been proven wrong with this. I know it is very hard to trust someone once they have done something like this but I do know you can eventually let them earn that trust back and maybe get back together. I think people can change part of themselves but they have to really want to change and work hard to make the change. Some people will say ohh I promise I won't do it again, it was a mistake, I should have never done it but then they go and do it again. You have to really know the person and I think they have to work hard to regain your trust and prove that they are changing and want to stay changed.

most of them can't change.or maybe they change but just for a wile. only one thing can help they change and this is a big true love...but you never know...

Cheaters can always change their ways. It is just a matter of self discipline. Most of us have been tempted to cheat sometime in our lives. There are some who had given in to the temptation and, some had taken a better hold of themselves. Therefore, if those who had cheated then will only practice more self discipline to veer away from the temptation to cheat once more, they can do it. However, it must be noted that these cheaters need adequate guidance in order to overcome their weaknesses. Parents will suffice sometimes for this purpose, for some it will require professional help.

Once a cheat, always a cheat. The cheating doesn't stop, it just continues behind closed doors and in secrecy. People can change, don't get me wrong, but they usually get into relationships that allow them to cheat and avoid relationships that don't. A person who is a cheater will not be able to stay with someone who does not permit them to live without questioning their every move. Usually they choose someone who is less likely to question their motives and continue cheating without their partner knowing. As stated before, I've known many who have cheated and cheated multiple times, in fact. It takes them wanting to change and sticking to it. If they meet someone they love who insist on helping them change, then maybe they will learn to stick by their mate. You also have to consider why they are cheating in the first place.

Personally, I trust friends and people around me. If they cheat in terms of friendship or relationship, it would be like a broken mirror... it can't be mended back to original. Everyone has the chance to cheat, but I choice not to and the other person cheat to ... therefore they have to bear the outcome. Life is too short to worry if that person will cheat or is cheating... why bother when you could find someone who does not cheat and trustworthy... learn from your mistake and move on.... there are so much good stuff in life to worry about someone who cares only for themselve and your trust and feeling is the last in their list.... so move on and enjoy life!! ;

if some cheat they will always cheat...

Cheating is a character trait thats hard to change unless by divine intervention. l believe once cheated always a cheat, but there are few exceptions, if the reason(s) for cheating is investigated and know to be pardonable. However, l will take me time to trust such a person again. l believe what made him cheated in the first instance, could still make him to cheat again. if he cheated by mistake means he doesnt have enough will power to be whom he claims to be.

It's really hard to trust again someone who has cheated you even just once in the past. The memory of the hurt just keeps coming back. To forgive and forget is almost impossible, at least immediately after the cheating. I don't believe though, that once a cheat, a person will always be one. One should be open and able to accept changes in people. I'd rather expect someone to change for the better, than be always ready to catch that someone commit a mistake again. If I may, I will give myself as an example. I did cheat when my wife and I were still engaged. I admitted it to her and she was very mad, and was ready to call our engagement off. But she gave me another chance and I wouldn't allow anything to forfeit that second chance. The hurt I knew she felt, and my own feelings at the time have taught me a lesson I will not forget. I will never do it again.

this is a human tenedency to tag a person based on his/her previous acts. Come on give them a chance i say. If they still repeat the same mistake of cheating, i say its proper to Tag them with that title. It might be some circumstance that propmted them to do such a thing. try to validate their reasoning, if you dont find it reasonable TAG THEM AS CHEATERS !!

I do not have much idea about what others think, but to the best of my belief, if there is will - there is way. I can recall a story of a man who changed a lot after an incident that took place nearly ten years ago - the matter involved my relatives - so i got to watch it very closely. That person, who had reputation for being a hooligan in the locality, presented a false-witness before the honorable Judge in a case filed against my relative. Pending judgment,the person was injured severely in a street accident. My relative happened to be the teacher of that person during his school days. Any way that person, I really can't figure out why, withdrew his name from the witnesses after he recovered from his injury and last time I met him in a busy city street all of a sudden - he was dressed in a typical robe of Ramakrishna Mission Saints. So, I strongly believe that a man can change a lot overnight if he desires to do so.

Well, actually it is not like they will always be a cheater. But, the truth is they been trapped by their own words. They been lied to some people and for sure they do not wish the others to know it. So, in order to save themselves, they just kept creating the lying to the others too. If they lied to the other but they told the truth to some others, they will be known as a cheater. That is why the lying keep over and over. I hope none of us will be trapped in such situation.

Yes, unfortunately I do.

yes,i think i am the one u had mentioned.If a friend cheated me once,i cant trust him\her completely consequently..

Generally, someone cheats because there is something lacking in their relationship. If they cheated on someone in the past, doesnt neccesarily mean they will cheat on you. I cheated on a boyfriend ten years ago. We broke up a few months later. I have been completely faithful to everyone I have dated since. WE had PROBLEMS. Now if they cheated on you, and you want to know if they'll do it again, harder to say. I'd think that unless there was some major discussions, counceling, or change, that yes, they would. But if you really love each other and can be honest enough to work out your problems, give it a try. "that which doesnt kill us, only makes us stronger"
