I certainly wouldn't. Trust is very important in my life and in my marriage, but I'm sure others would. Would you?

I wouldn't. I think it's stupid... if you don't like to be in a relationship then you should just say so. I don't see the "high" you get from cheating... so to me it seems like a totally useless thing to do.

i have to rate you for this, YnefzOr, coz i totally agree with you. if you can't commit, then don't be in a relationship, right?

No. For one thing I just do not believe in cheating. Two, it would devastate my husband if I did. Every girlfriend he has ever had has cheated on him. Also, his father left his mom and their six children to run off with another woman. He had affairs, multiple ones the whole time they were married. To my husband it is the ultimate betrayal and I love him far too much to ever hurt in that way. Plus, people always get caught.

I'm not married, but if I were, I would not cheat on my husband! I did not when I was married.

It depends with the kind of relationship i'm having with my partner.If it's one that is built on love,trust,honesty ..I WOULDNT think of having an affair,but if it's a relationship where one feels negleted i certainly would have an affair.

nope --- ever. it's not just about getting caught or not getting caught. it's just so wrong, and so unfair to the one you really love and who loves you back.

there is no such thing as not getting caught. for the one that didn't have the affair but was cheated on, we are not stupid and more than not we already know you did it anyway even if nothing is said. for the one that did, the guilt is already present and even if you dont get "caught" you did because your guilt caught you.

Thats absolutely right. You can never not get cuaght cause of your guilt which might give you away or eat at you and make you feel miserable. However you you did have an affair and did not get caught and are repentant about it, it would be better not to tell your significant other as you would unnecessarily hurt the other. But you should try and be more loving and attentive as it would make the other person as well as you feel better

No, I wouldn't do that. My theory is if you are married, be faithful. If you want to sleep around, get a divorce first.

Trust is really important in a relationship and honsty. so i wouldn't cheat on my significant other even if i knew i wouldn't get caught it's just wrong and plus you prolly wouldn't know how many times the other person was having affairs and if your the only one their doing it with.

Is it considered an affair if you aren't married?? i know its cheating. But If it is an affair to be with someone but not married no I wouldn't do it becuase it shouldn't be necessary. If the person I am with is doing what they need to do then there is no need to do mess arou d with anyone else.

Whether or not I would be caught is not the biggest concern here, because I would still have to live with myself. I could not do that to my husband because it would kill the trust of our marriage. I have ultimate faith in him that he will respect our fidelity, and I owe it to him to deserve the same trust myself. Beyond that, he is the best s*x I ever had in my life and I wouldn't want to jeopardize that!

I wouldn't cheat on my husband even if I thought I could get away with it. I love him, and I know that I couldn't hurt him by being with someone else. He being the only man I've been with makes it more special for both of us.

No i wuldnt cuz no matter what you always get caught one day or another... plus your with someone you love if u dont love them anymore leave them dont cheat

If someone gets married in the first place, it should be because they love that person. If they love that person, they shouldn't cheat.
