There are lots of people who cheat nowadays. I'm not just pertaining to men but also women. Just to be fair with men. :) My question is do cheaters won't change? Or would they change for a little time and then goes back from being cheater? Or are there cheaters who turned into a faithful lover/spouse? Share your thoughts please.

I think some of these comments are bogus. I will admit, I cheated on my girlfriend before. I admitted my mistake and told her why I did what I did. She has forgiven me and was thankful I didn't deny it. Now, we are no longer together even though we love each other. At least I can come out of the relationship with some kind of respect from her.

Aww that's sad to hear and admitting it to your girlfriend is an honest action really. It's hard to do but you still did. That is something. Well, people have different opinions and have to be respected just as yours. It's very nice that you admitted it to your girlfriend beyond shame and your ex really loves you for she had forgiven you. Now that you did it before and you admitted it. Would/had there been a chance that you would/did it again? I hope not. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Really great to hear from you. :)

Thanks for your response. That means alot to me. It also shows I did the right thing. It's not easy admitting your mistakes to someone you do not want to hurt. To answer your question truthfully, I would not. The reason being is because I really wasn't sure how she felt about me. I craved for some kind of attention and I gotten it elsewhere.Was I wrong for that? Of course I was. I lacked the patience needed with this woman. She is a great person. She doesn't just "put out" sort of speaking. But she deserves respect as any woman does in a "relationship." But I did the crime and was willing to do the time. I will go as far to say that I was willing to walk the highway with a billboard covering my back and chest saying, " I cheated on my girlfriend." Alot of people thought I was foolish, but once again, when you love someone, you will do what it takes to make it right. In this case I was willing to humiliate myself even more for what I have done. Like I said, if you do the crime, you must do the time.

everyone can change^^ and sometimes cheaters cheat for a reason. sometimes bcs dont are happy with their lovers and other times bcs just want to play around bcs didnt love yet. i believe that if they love their bf or gf they wont cheat^^ so sure they wont be cheaters forever^^ maybe when they find right person they change^^ i believe that we all get different when fall in love^^ some become more sensitive, some more romantic, others stop being cheaters^^ love change people always^^ and for better^^ if your bf cheats on you then you should leave him bcs means he doesnt love you. only that. and you can find one that does^^ when they find right person they change^^ thats for sure^^

I cannot definitely say that cheater won't change. Am still trying to make an observation and study if they possibly change. Although, I believe that there are some who changed for some reason, and others do not because it is already innate to them to cheat. I think, the matter to be considered also is the cause of cheating. It is a case to case basis.

i don't know is difficult to define it precisely normally people if feel comfortable doing something repeat it all the time so even if in some cases it is not so good the will do it the same...i think normally if aperson have this attitude to cheat it would eb hard a changment but you know cchanges in lif eare always difficult anyway i think they can change but may be it must happen something that give the right reason to change..

I think if a person is dishonest and cheats on you once then there is always the possibility it will happen again. The only thing is if you forgive the person who cheated, they usually get better at lying and hiding things so chances you would find out again would be pretty slim.
I say to anyone who is going though this as hard as it might be just get rid of that person because you could spend years resenting and always wondering if they are cheating again if they are not.
It's not worth the headache and hassle of cheating on someone and its definitely not worth crush their spirit and soul and I could never figure out why people do this instead of just being honest to the person that gets hurt.

i would think they always will be cheaters. i think it runs in the person's personalty... cheating can be fun and can be used by cheaters as their bragging rights? to their friends that they are able to cheat on their partners and still get away with it...
it would probably take a big blow before a cheater changes for good.

I too have a conviction that once a cheat always a cheat and it is thus because I have never see a cheater turning a new leaf. They may say they would never cheat but in every promise of theirs they see another opportunity to cheat more skillfully than before. Cheaters usually are the people of low esteem. Once someone loses self respect it is difficult to regain it. I pity them. The person whom they cheat must leave them and let them happily cheat others and themselves.

Nobody can say when a cheater will change for the better.Two types of cheaters- for money and relationship. both are deliberate.Those who were jailed because of money never change, they cheat inside jail and cheat again outside jail. However, there is hope for cheaters of spouses/lovers and it all depends on the other partner.Forgiveness, love and patience can change his/her heart. Just make him/her special whenever you are together. Where ever you can't find love, put love and you will surely find love.

some of them will always be.. it depends how this person would realize or not what he/she has done hurting others. Some will change and will be the best lover after that, but i know of someone who cheats, forgiven, and do the same again.. so it depends...

I think that there are cheaters who can become faithful or loyal in the end, well, not all of them but there are some. I know it's truly difficult to hope and believe especially for those who have experienced being cheated by the person they love or they're in a relationship with that these kind of people can still and will change. I believe that trust once broken is hard to mend and trust is essential in a long lasting relationship. Once it's gone, the relationship comes to a rocky or shaky ground or the worst part, it comes to a bitter end. Betrayal or dishonesty creates an unhealthy relationship. Quarrel or fights start, paranoia sets in, over protectiveness develops, jealousy heightens, and so on, especially if the situation won't be handled well. The scars or wounds caused by this serious wrong doing are difficult to heal. Though having said all of these, I also believe in second chances, in forgiveness, in change, in the power of love. The heart can heal itself in time. Broken trust may be hard or difficult to gain back but it's not impossible, it still depends on how couples cope up with the situation and how they work it out for themselves. There are some cases where couples survive this biggest challenge in their lives. Whether cheaters are given another chance and/or forgiven or not, I think there will come a point in their lives, some or most of them, where they'll learn how to love deeply and honestly, they'll try and learn to change for that person. It's just amazing how true love can work wonders. =)
