Why is cheating to your lover rampant today?

I have the same view about it. Many people commit infidelity nowadays and when asked, they say that it just normal nowadays. Having this kind of thought may lead someone to think that it is already common and acceptable and therefore, one should not be afraid to be involved in this kind of act. They are no longer ashamed of committing immorality. Ironic but nowadays, it was even the mistresses who are more aggressive than the wives. People who commit this mistakes tend to forget God. They knew exactly what is God's views about marriage and infidelity. But these people have taken God for granted and would only care about how they feel.

Cheating has been common among lots of people because they no longer know the true meaning of a relationship. They just get together for and become exclusively dating for awhile but only to share intimate stuff and not building a relationship out of love and understanding. So when a new person comes a long, it is easy to just dump the partner and have a new one. There is no more sincerity and respect towards each other. Their kind of relationship is so shallow that they can anytime change partners as often as they want.

I think that people cheat so much is because they really never know what they truly want is part of the reason and then also because maybe the person they are with they don't want to be with them any more. I agree that people don't understand the true meaning of love and I totally agree that cheating is wrong, but yet so many people do it now. Why can't people really figure out what they want and if they are with someone and you don't want to be with them any more, then why not tell them. Why would someone just stay in the relationship and then they find someone else, and they just cheat. If you want someone else, then you should tell the person that you are with that you no longer want to be with them. I never understand why this is so hard for people to do.

Cheating is still a sign of not being honest. People who do so you can not trust. Mistresses/lovers etc still hide. If they don't do so the partner knows. And yes this exists also. That partners do agree that they both have someone else. Personally I don't see this as cheating. I don't know what you mean by: marriage is still protected by the law. If it comes to that I don't think the law is protecting anything. You are free to divorce if you pay for it. Many people are not even willing to get married at all. But this doesn't mean you find the biggest cheaters among them! The fact "many" are doing it doesn't mean it becomes rampant. Many people steal, kill are bullying, already since ages as well (sorry but nothing has changed it all depends on where you live what is allowed.. having more as one wife is cheating as well esp. if you are not able to love and care about them in equal ways like is written in the koran). People will always do what they like, especially men, they will always find an excuse why they did what they did or why they need or needed it. Personally I don't care since everybody is responsible for his/her own deeds, own happiness, own life. I am not saying I am approving certain behaviour since it's my opinion there is no need to cheat at all. You can say you are not interested in your partner anymore and leave. You can say you love someone else or think you fall in love with someone else and leave. After leaving you are free to start whatever you like. So to me the cheaters are more cowards, finding excuses and blaming someone else for their own deeds.

Hi Irahness, Yes I do agree with you. It's seems that cheating is now widely acknowledged. People are getting more and more liberated now. I also noticed that there are so many dramas and movies that talks about cheating. For instance there are so many korean dramas that's about cheating. Movies about third parties are also rampant. I really don't think its good.

Cheating is on a rampant rise as the world is becoming a smaller place to live in. With so many options one just cannot stop the heart or should I say an urge. Sometimes cheating/infidelity is the reason for broken families. Cheating resentment and dissatisfaction in a relationship bring about the dark truths of revenge affair. High Technology like cell phones, internet have become indispensable part of our daily lives. These gadgets penetrate our personal lives and cause many to stray. When texting and chatting goes overload there will be a texting/chatting cheating. I know someone who cheat from her husband because she met a guy online or some just start as text mates.

the value of committment is being hampered nowadays. and a partner tolerates the action if she/he agrees that there is another one aside her/him. If the partner would not accept that they are two or three or four in his/her partner's life then no cheating will happend.
