Would you ever consider cheating on your significant other?

Honestly, I have been with my boyfriend for almost four years and we have our ups and downs but I've never considered cheating on him but when my "girlfriends" and I get together and talk about problems we have with our boyfriends they're always saying oh we should cheat on them for revenge and what not but I don't understand why you would? I mean once you're married, there would probably be more ups and downs especially if you have kids too.. Have you considered cheating or have you? Experiences or stories, please tell?

hi, i have been with my boyfriend for almost two years, and we fight many times before,but whatever i never lied to him.because the first day i decided to stay with him, i told him:"i will never cheat on you, so will you",every time when i can't bear something and want to flirt with someoneelse, i will remind of myself that, the man will be your husband and you will stay with each other for the whole time,so you can't lied to him, or you will never have the real happiness.in my opinion,the trust is the most things between two people,everything can be solved if you tired together,so i will never do this,and in my deep heart,i also hope he can never cheat on me.and we can be forever.

Greetings I actually have cheated on a girlfriend once. I was seemingly feeling a lack of something when I was with her. I was ok but, I wasn't really satisfied. So, I decided to start flirting with other women as though I were single. I started dating different girls every week till I found someone worth while. I honestly felt good maybe it was because of the fact that I was doing something wrong. However wrong it was, I continued. I did later on discover she was cheating on me as well. The funny thing about it was that I didn't care so, we broke up both happy. Where my X is and what happened to her remains a mystery. One thing for sure: I am single again stuck in a crossroad whether to go after someone familiar and near vs someone alien and far.

Hello. Thanks for sharing. That is a funny story how both of you guys were cheating on each other but if she wasn't then if I was in your position I'd feel bad because why not end it first? Anyhow, glad it worked out and good luck on finding a girlfriend :D

No I never have and I never will. I don't think is right to hurt other people I treat others as I wish to be treated. I am not in a relationship right now but when I was, this never crossed my mind. Anyway, some people think that is ok to take revenge but you will end up not hurting the other person but you will hurt yourself even more, I just don't think that I can look at the mirror and see my face and look at myself if I did.

I agree, I don't like hurting anyone and I believe you should treat others the way you want to be treated as well. Thanks for sharing.

I would never cheat on my boyfriend either. But there are times when we fight and I get so hurt and angry that i THINK about it, but I can NEVER do it 'cause I love him too much. I think like that especially when HE thinks I'm going to cheat on him for some reason, and he fights with me for that. So that hurts me a ton. But it's much better now that I have told him not to doubt me like that ever again. So I dont think of cheating anymore and I'm happier than ever. And so is he. I LOVE HIM! And I'm happy that you are a very bold person and are not falling for your girlfriends' words. Listen to your heart and keep loving your boyfriend! Good Luck!

I also have been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years. And I have never cheated on him and nor do I plan on ever doing it. I don't understand why women do it. If your not satisfied get someone else. I mean find other ways to have fun. Ya know what i mean?

When we enter into a relationship with someone we should be devoting ourselves to that relationship. If we consider consider cheating on the one we love, how can we say that we are truly committed and love that person. i say the chances are slim that we do not.

No I don't believe if taking revenge to our partner by cheating on them will solve the problems later. There is no perfect relationship and we are all required to learn and understand while building our relationship. I hate the idea of cheating because I'm always able to put myself in one's shoe and imagine if I was the one who was cheated by my partner. Have a nice day

Same, I agree. I dislike the fact that people do that and think that it's a good idea but really it isn't. Thanks for sharing.

I personally think its sick how some people will cheat for revenge. I would never do that I have way to much respect for my wife and for the relationship that we have. Not only that I love her very much and would do anything for her including giving my life for her. So no I would not cheat nor even think about it. Sure there will always be those thoughts of wow that girl is hot or that girl looks good but would I ever act on those thoughts? NO not in a million years. And I think anyone who does needs to strongly step back and take a look in the mirror, and ask themselves whether they are really as good of a person as they think they are. If you cant even be faithful to the person you supposedly love can your word really be trusted at any level?

LOL she gave me a Celebrity to a certain Hollywood actress pass because its a once and a lifetime opportunity.....but she is confident its not going to happen. I never cheated in a relationship at all but when i am not in a relationship I do admit i was some sort of a well....fornicator. But I was very faithful when I am committed to a relationship.
