Would you cheat on your spouse if you had the opportunity to?

I would run from the temptation as quickly as possible and pray that I don't. It just amazes me how people today...think little about being commited to someone and not cheating in a relationship. What's your opinion about it?

I have no desire to cheat and think it's stupid and pointless in cheating. Why be in a relationship with someone if you are just going to cheat on them.

My opinion is simple: If one wants variety, one should not have committed in the first place.

Yeah, I've heard of it. I was lucky enough to learn from that mistake on a boyfriend years ago, before I married the man I'm with now. At least now I know better and would never risk feeling that guilt ever again. I also have another theory for the committed: If one has desires outside his/her oath, then one should take care of it in the shower then forget all about it. hahahaha

Excellent point! Have you ever heard of what they dont' know don't hurt them. In my younger years I heard that many times! It made me feel sick! My first husband agreed so I always knew I couldn't trust him! So what kind of marriage did we have. We didn't obviously! Adultry is one of the most extreme pains I have ever felt in my life!

No, I could never cheat on my spouse. It would weigh to heavily on me. Doing something like that would ruin a wonderful thing and probably break up my family. There is to much to lose for a dumb act like cheating. There are to many out there that cheat and not think of all the consequences of their actions. I know someone who fought to win her now husband over and she cheated on him. They are still together but he has her on a very very short leash now.

Cheating is definitely not the answer for something you're lacking in your spouse. Open communication with your spouse about what keeps your relationship alive is truly important. I have to agree with you how....too many people think too lightly of cheating...without truly realizing how devastating to your spouse, children, family and friends that it is.

I am not yet married but i will be in the future. if i had the opportunity to do that, theres still no way i will. It may be a thrilling and exciting experience, but it can never outweigh the hurt i will be causing to my husband and children. I will be continuously haunted or bothered by my conscience. The moment i will be getting married, i promise to be submissive to my husband and him alone.

It's exciting to know that there are still people out there with a conscience about what's right and wrong. I feel the same way about it being a horrible thing to do and hurting the ones you truly love....for what a moment of intrigue...if even that.

I have no desire to cheat so I've never been tempted, I wouldn't ever do that. I think after being with someone for so long and staying in love, just the thought of another man kind of makes me sick.

I have to agree with you there. Just the thought of it makes me sick as well. I've caught my neighbor in questionable situations and I can only pray the Lord keeps my husband and I from falling into that trap. To me....if you're looking for someone else to fill a need...then you need to figure out what that need is and get your spouse to understand about what you're feeling and see if they'll work with you on it.

I was cheated on! It really does rob the specialness of the relationship. All of a sudden it doesnt' feel like a treasured gift anymore. I am in a new relationship now. We both are committed to never letting that happen to us. It can happen to anyone. Like you said flee from temptation. No actually don't ever let it get to a place where temptaion is even a possibility. Your relationship is worth more then that!

God forbid! we respect not only each other, but also our vows to the Good God. That is why we must avoid even the near occasion of sin. I think there is very little example to the public anymore of doing this when most television shows treat promiscuity and infidelity as run of the mill, normal, to be expected - no one can control themselves anyway - attitudes.

My family means way too much to me to ever do anything like that. Me and my fiance are a good team and I want it to stay that way. We take care of each other and I've never been happier in my life. And to be quite honest I don't even notice other guys anymore. I don't have a need to be checking out guys since I've got a pretty good catch. : )
