Alert! If this post is too sensitive, please stop reading it . Question, when you found out that your partner cheated was it the actual cheating or all the lies that were told that hurt you most? Thanks for your responses.

Cheating and lying works hand in hand to crush the hearts of many women. He lied and when caught cheating he shed his crocodile tears to show his guilt that he has cheated on me. I am more angered by the lies he has fabricated rather then the actual cheating. I feel he has made a fool out of me when he lied to me and feel really hurt with all his days of lying. I am no fool anymore once I know he is a liar and will never put a trust on a cheating man.

Once a liar always a liar!! I say, "leopards do not change their spots, they get a marker and connect the dots!!!!!" In otherwords they are just finding a way to do the same thing over and over with new lies and ways of doing them. My ex did this and men are creatures of habbit. He went to the same places and even used the same parking spaces as we did, how idotic is that. The cheating hurts and it can be forgiven and gotten over, albeit a hard thing to do but the lies, forget it. I never knew afterwards what was going through his head. When we drove to the courthouse for our divorce, when ever he looked at a woman on the sidewalk or in a car next to us I wondered is she your type, what would you do to be with her too?? Basically the trust was gone and with out the trust the rest was over, way over. P.S. When I did catch them, where I knew they would be that day, I told her the next time she was sitting home alone, hearing the same excuses she heard him tell me, which he WILL DO, remember how you made another woman feel and I hope it hurts you 100% more. Now I have a husband who was also done wrong whom I know will never do me wrong and vise versa. Good luck to you, if the lies start get out while you can with your heart and dignity intact. Rosered.

I am so different I find. I would never truist a husband,I would assume he is lying whenever he speaks.But with a hoyfriend, I will trust until he gives me cause not to, and then it would be over.

I think both are equally as bad, the cheating would hurt because it is cheating and being unfaithful, and lying is he is playing me for a fool as well. Both would hurt for me, I cannot separate the two.

Thanks. I have always separated the two, To me lying is so much worse.Maybe because I can see cheating or at least having a one night stand but I only lie to keep a surprise present under wraps.

The cheating....everyone lies....but to do that is unspeakable....I can be jealous so that would pretty much be the end too.

hmmmm.... The lying and the cheating hurts me. Well, the cheating the most is what affects me. Im not saying that lying is oK. The situation happened a very long time ago. just recently, He told me about everything that he have done wrong to me. and that's the time i said Screw HONESTY. :( what i heard was simply out of hand. and i couldn't bare to hear any more of it. I was screwed because HE Lied to me a million times, but what really made me say STOP was the confessions of cheating. So i don't know which hurts me the most. because both ruined what i thought was a happy relationship.

One should have the guts to accept what he has done.Just going on telling lies to cover the cheat will be worsening the situation.So,I think lies should be avoided at any cost in a relationship.Because,'to err is human!'

I agree. There are times when you can't resist and a one night stand happens . But to lie about it is worse. A one time thing can be forgiven but to lie and lie about it can't.Or if your steady falls for someone else , then he/she Needs to tell you so you can let them go and be happy.
