Most ppl whether they are just dating or married tend to be faithful. Oh, I know there are cheaters out there but there are also those that believe in being faithful. I’m one of those ppl. I’ve never understood the concept of cheating. I look at it like this, if you’re unhappy enough to cheat then your not happy and therefore you need to get out there and find what will make you happy. I can honestly say that I’ve never cheated on anyone. I’ve broken up with someone to be with someone else and I dated after I was separated but I’ve never been involved with more than one guy at the same time. I’ve also been the other woman a time or two (hangs head), not a good choice but I was single at the time so I looked at it as I wasn’t cheating on anyone. Looking back I see that I was a “partner in crime” more or less.
Have you ever cheated on someone? Did you get caught or tell on yourself? Was it worth it? How would you feel if you found out that your partner was cheating on you? Do you think being faithful is overrated?

I have never cheated on any one whether it be boyfriend in my boyfriend days or on my husband after all these years of marriage. I know in my heart my husband has not cheated on me and if he has he has kept it covered up really good. LOL He goes to work and comes home afterwards and is home on the weekends.

You're right about that.
If a person is unhappy enough
to cheat, then that means they don't
have a good emotional connection in
their relationship.
They just need to move on.
Unless they're staying for financial
reasons. Guess that happens.

I will say that I am not perfect. With that said, I have never cheated on my husband, while dating or being married and I never will. I am very faithful and don't believe in being otherwise. My husband also knows where I stand as far as cheating goes. I don't agree with it nor will I put up with it. If he cheats, he's gone, no questions asked. And the same would go for me. Luckily, it's not something that neither of us have to worry about.

No, never have. I just figure if someone is unhappy in their marriage or relationship they should just leave.

I have been with my boyfriend for 13 years and I caught him cheating on me and I gave him a choice her or me. And he told the woman that it was me and that he was just using her, because he was mad at me. And she showed up at my thinking he would live with her and told if you do I will beat the both of you up and I did and she left and he stayed with me. He told her that he loved me and that he all ways will and he could never leave me.

[i]Hi twoey,
I had few relationship and I never tried cheating and never even have any thoughts about it! I agree with you, it's better to end the relationship and be with the person we thought will give us happiness rather than cheating and lying!
If ever I will find that my partner will cheat on me, I will consider leaving him and I will move on in my life...But, I will also listen to him and would love to know the honest reason for doing such action![/i]

Yes, my friends say, "I'm loyal to the point of dumb." Unless I have conclusive proof that someone is doing something bad to me, either friend or significant other, I have a hard time being disloyal to them in any way. Much less cheating on someone. That's just not my style. Although, I do admit to doing it once and feeling very bad about it. I do not exclusively believe in monogamy either. Once, for a year and a half, I was very happy dating both a boy and a girl who both knew about the other person and were dating other people too. The only rule we had in that relationship was that you could only have one partner of each gender. I don't consider that cheating. In fact, that relationship was the most honest I have been with anyone in my entire life.

I can honestly say that I have never cheated on anyone. I had gone out with three guys before I met my husband and knew at first sight that he was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. We have been married for 36 years and I have never desired to cheat on him. He is my soul mate and I love him very much. I don't understand why anyone would cheat on another person. For me I am a one man women. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good looking man I just have no desire to touch. My man is my main squeeze and I desire no other.

I have never cheated, I was "dating" 2 guys at one time once, but I didn't consider it cheating. I liked them both, I knew it couldn't get serious because summer was going to end & I would go to college. They didn't know about each other and I was kind of trying to decide if I was interested enough in either of them enough to stay in contact with them when I left town for school.
the answer was - no

Hi twoey ! Im faithfull although I've been the other guy a couple of times. I am loyal and faithfull although my own heart has led me on many a merry dance, not all with happy endings.I have been cheated on, and there isn't a pain quite like it. I dont think faithfull is overrated, its just that two peopole have to be in it, to maintain it.

Before I was married I was not faithful at all. I've cheated on all of my boyfriends, and I've been the "other woman" more times than I can count. I was never caught. Once I told on myself, and the other times I just kept it to myself, because I didn't see it as a big deal at the time.
But things are different now. I am married now and very happy in my relationship. No matter what happens, I wouldn't want to hurt my husband in that way, so I would never cheat on him.

I'm the faithful type because when I enter into a relationship, I'm always inlove with the person. So I cant stand it if I will cheat my boyfriend. I dont want to feel guilty. I recently broke up with my bf who got a girl pregnant. The pain is so great that until now I still cry myself to sleep. I cant imagine myself doing that to a person I love. Being faithful is not overrated because when you are in a relationship, you must honor your commitment to the other person.

Try to think of t this way,maybe there is something better waiting for you.Be happy you found out before you married this man & had a child with him..Not to play your pain down,i don't mean that ,i only mean it could have been worse had you stayed in that realtionship...

I am a one woman type of gal. I have never cheated, never even thought about it. I unfortunately have being cheated on. I don't think cheating is worth it. It's better to just end the relationship rather than cheating. I think when you cheat it eventually comes out, and cause a lot of hurt.

I'm a firm believer in the saying...What goes around comes back around, so cheating is not in my blood. I hate when people lie, so I make it a rule to be honest always. Unfortunately, I have experienced being cheated on, so I know how painful that can be. I never quite understood why some men take the time to manage lie after lie when they should simply break up with the one they are cheating on.
I did get a strange answer from one ex as to why he lied for quite a while rather than break it off. He said that he knew I was the one he wanted to marry but he wasn't ready yet..so he decided to sow some oats to get it out of his system and then marry me. OH BROTHER! Of course, that didn't work.

I think I am a faithful person. I have been married to the same guy for 18 years and I have never kissed another man in all of that time. I have never cheated on him. We are in the process of breaking up. The idea of dating and possibly kissing someone else is a terrifying thought right now.

I[i] have not tried cheating also and will never will...I want to treasure the trust and the love I have shared with my husband and of course I don't like him also to hurt be by cheating...I always believed the golden rule " do not do unto others what you don't like others do unto you"!
Life is too short really to do hide things and to be very hypocrite.[/i]..

twoey68 No I have never ever cheated on my husband. I married for betteror worse, and I stuck to my vow, as did my husband. we were married for 34 years, and they were altogether happy years.
Neither of us every eventhought of cheating, thats so childish and so unkind. WE were both faithful to each other. we were committed which now days most are not.I think being faithful
is what marriage is all about. I would have been devastated if I had found out my husband had cheated on me.

i still consider myself as faithful because i believe in the golden rule that "do unto others what you want others to do to you", so if you want someone to be faithful to you, you must also be faithful to him or her.
