Is the saying "once a cheater always a cheater" true?

Ya ...they are!.. It's not always a person who have cheated once will do same again

@periwinkle22 Pottie, are you new here and is that first post? Welcome. I cannot say all people that cheat will not change but some that cheat will continue to do it.

Yes they are and I have seen people change dramatically. However, not all people change and we have to keep that in mind too. Some promise to change but never do.

It greatly depends on the type of person they are and the reason they cheated to begin with. Sometimes people cheat because emotional needs aren't getting met by the spouse or partner and the cheater is compensating. Cases like that are usually resolved in some way and the cheating doesn't happen any more. However, if they're the kind of person that's head twists around like the exorcist at literally every girl/guy that walks by without any regard to how you might feel, drop em like a hot potato and run for the hills

I am not to judge anyone,but change for the better, is always an opportunity to be more blessed and be near to God...while there is time...

Welcome to Mylot

Welcome to mylot my friend. And yes it is possible

They don't change,don't waste your effort

No. And I think that saying was created by the person who having a phobia right now because of the cheaters.

@periwinkle22 Depends on what type of cheaters you have come across so far.Once you allow someone to take you for a ride,you would begin believing in the famous adage,"once bitten twice shy."

Welcome to mylot. I believe that people can change it's just a matter of time and being mature.

If he isn't a cheater very often he can change. People can change if they really want.

Once someone cheats you, you find it difficult love that person. In some cases it leads to a breakup

All I can say is that,as long as you are alive, it is very to possible to change our ways .We can't definitely judge a person because he or she cheated once or twice.

Yes, it is true.

Everyone deserves a second chance where they can prove to themselves that they are worthy to be trusted the second time around. =)

Mostly are but there are a handful who did change for the better.

Hello welcome to myLot. We are from the same country. Enjoy your stay here. Every one can change if she or he has the determination to change. All people make mistakes because we are only human. Just give him or her another chance if he or she cheated you. But one chance is enough, if he always do the same thing again and again then, it is good to avoid that person forever.
