I have been wondering how many of my lotters have ever been cheated on.. I have been cheated on a couple of time.. I have probably been cheat on without even know in.... Now i have never cheated on anyone in my whole life.. After knowing what if felt like to be cheated on i never thought to ever cheat on someone. The pain that i went through i promised myself that i would never put someone througt the same pain that i was put through... So how man of you mylotter have been cheated??? Or have you ever cheated on one of you partners/spouse???? How many have you ever been cheated and and how did it feel what did you do??? For the people that have cheated: Was it worth it??? What she/he worth it??? How did it make you feel when she/he found out???

hello.I have experienced both.I have been cheated on several times, and I myself cheated on several guys. First was the guys cheating on me. My very first relationship when I was 14 lasted 4 yrs and he treated me poorly. He cheated on me alot and I stayed instead of leaving, I tried to make him stop.I thought it was me for some reason so I tried to make myself better,more like hed like. I believe this was b/c I didnt have a great home life or relationship with my parents. Well, he finally ended up leaing me and I found someone else.I didnt like being alone so I really wasnt that picky or selective and this guy was the same. One day finally came when I had enough(after a few more crappy relationships).I wasnt gonna put up with it anymore. Unfortunately, these relationships left a scar on me and also alot of resentment towards men. That really changed me,I stared to treat guys the way I was treated. I didnt even think about hurting them, I honestly felt very cold. This went on for a few years. It was at about 25 that something inside me made me realize what I was doing wasnt right and I stopped. I really didnt date as much but I decided that from then on I would take things more seriously. I wanted to settle down. So, anyway I DO reget it. Two wrongs dont make a right. I now have a great relationship. I would never cheat again.

I know how you feel on the resentment thing i have resentment for guys to.. When i was cheated on i ended up breaking down and my whole personality changed... I still doing trust guys i dont even trust my husband and he know the reasons why so he doesn't hold it against me, He understands what i have went through.. I guess that is the reason he married me because i have been cheated and he know that i would never cheat on on him because i know how it feels to be cheated on.. I have been cheated on some many times that i think everything is my fault...

I have never been cheated on. Have I cheated? Sort of. When I was married to my ex he went through this period when he was in the military when he just wasn't interested (which was fine by me cause I wasn't really interested in him either), he wasn't home much and even when he was he was on medication that really messed him up. Anyways, he said I could go do whatever, so I did. Never did tell him either and he didn't ask. Had he not meant what he said and had a cow over what I was doing, I really wouldn't not have cared. We got married way too soon and married much longer than we should have been. Had I not been a stubborn teenager, I would have left him way before we even got to that point.

To add: my ex claimed he never cheated on me, but when his buddies who are in the same unit come home hours before and are calling your house asking for him...yea that is a huge red flag, never could prove it though.

As I said, I never could prove it, but I had a gut feeling. I was going through a lot though so I could have been false. All the years I have known him (10 years) only 1 person has ever said anything legitimately bad about him. I never did doubt that he loved me and I trusted him. We knew each other 2-3 months before we got married, at about the 6 month mark I was ready to get out, but I was pregnant, so I decided to stay (which was my own fault; had I swallowed my pride and went back home, the whole "cheating" thing, as well as a slew of other things wouldn't have happened.)

My husband and i only knew each other five months before we got married, and we have been married for three months.. I have been cheated on so many times that i could never see myself cheating on someone.. I have a couple of scars from being cheated on i really have a bad trust issues. I sometimes don't trust my husband but i have to say that i trust my husband more than anyone i have ever been with.. I don't think that my husband would ever cheat on me he loves me way to much to hurt me.. I hope he wouldn't hurt me like that..

I have been there of many times where my boyfriends have cheated on me. The last one that cheated on me we were together shy of our 1 yr. annversary and I found out asked him and he blaintly lied to my face about it I knew he had for it was written all over his face with guilt. It has been 3 yrs now that I have been with no one and I like it for I know I can't can't get hurt. I want to be able to trust a man again but it's just not in me to do this for a long time. I know not all men are like this and for the ones that are faithful I award themfor being so. I just don't get how you can claim to love soeone and then cheat on them. I am still trying to get my self to believe that there is someone out there for me that will be faithful and will not cheat but my mind I think is playing games with me. I don't believe in cheating but being faithful to the one you are with. I have so openly gave my heart to the last one and really cared about him and he threw it on the ground and stepped on it. I guess I will never know if I can ever open my heart again or even let anyone get close enough to me for me to ever let anyone in my heart again.

My ex cheated on me - twice. The first time I forgave but didn't forget. The 2nd time I said enough and we divorced. Both times he cheated we were having some minor problems in our marriage. Apparently he wasn't man enough to just talk it out, but went elsewhere to deal with it. As for me, no I'd never cheat on anyone. Its just not right, or fair.

I've been there pixie - unknowingly. I had an affair once, it only lasted several months. This man had told me he was in the process of a divorce so I didn't feel like I was doing anything wrong. One weekend he was at my house and I got a call from his daughter. She was only 12 I think and she asked me to "send daddy home, mommy is crying." I then found out he wasn't getting a divorce and he had even told his wife where he had been spending all his time! I felt like a fool, kicked him out back to his wife and never saw him again.

I've been cheated on by a girl I thought I'd marry. I can't even begin to describe how much it hurt. I would never wish that kind of pain on anybody except the person that did it to me. I felt like I needed some kind of retribution for this for a very long time. But now I'm slowly getting over it. She didn't give me any closure either, so I guess that made the healing process take that much longer. I'd never cheat, now that I know how it feels. It's so painful it's not even funny anymore. Haha.

it hurts a lot knowing someone you trust cheated on you. good thing it became positive for you because you don't want others to feel the same way. yes i was cheated by someone before. it hurts, and i cried a lot. but we have to move and let go. well, what else to say but good luck.

Thank god that my husband has never cheated on me.. I have been cheated on a couple of times and i would never cheat on someone because i know how it feels to get cheated on and i wouldn't want to make someone feel the same way that i did when i was cheated on.. It really does suck begin cheated on so many times have left their scars.. Like for intense i can't trust people i can't trust men mostly... my husband is the person that i trust the most i know that he would never cheat on me.....

My ex husband cheated on me twice. The first time he was really sorry and so I forgave him but it happened again and that's when I kicked him out of the house. He tried for over 20 years go get me back, offering his undying love every time I was between relationships, but I wasn't falling for his rap. I remarried this past October to someone I lived with for several years and someone I trust. For my part, I have never cheated on anyone. I have to look at myself in the mirror each morning and I don't like feeling guilty.

I ended being a broken person for the longest time i stil am broken now i have a bad trust issue. I really can't trust any guys.. I trust my husband alot more than i trust any body else...

To my knowledge I have never been cheated on. I also have never cheated on anyone, and I don't think I ever could. I know how I would feel if I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me so I would never want to make someone feel those feelings. On the opposite end of the spectrum I HAVE been with someone who was doing the cheating. They were cheating on their significant other with me. I know that probably is not right either, but I didn't feel nearly as bad because I technically wasn't the one doing the cheating.

i wasnt been cheated, but i heard some people who were being cheated from their well known persons.. i think if people find good partners who never tell lies and who they can trust. and whom they can love for the person who they are..
