Marriage and cheating

As I grew up cheating on your partner was a big deal and a lot of divorces happened! Marriage was sacred and cheating was wrong! Now it seems that cheating,in some cases,is no big deal,is exceptable,partners don't care,and is ok if it happens! That is stupid! Cheating is wrong and in most cases is unexpectable! I'd never put up with that at all! To me it shows no respect,there is no real love and some people just don't care! Something need to change!

I don't think partners don't care, they probably forgive the act but doesn't mean they will keep forgiving if the cheater keeps cheating. that's why people shouldn't marry before they can make certain they will keep the commitment. instead they marry too soon and can't stick with it, end up with heartache, divorce, all that is very bad for the children that are looking for good examples from their parents.

Sometimes these days people just get married without knowing each other well enough. You need to be sure of the reason you are marrying someone. If marry someone just because they sexy, someone more sexier will come along.

Sometimes people who cheat just get sucked into something and become enthralled with a new person. It is not right but sometimes marriages are just over and the other person wont let go. Cheating is hurtful and never is right, but some spouse will not let go otherwise. Try to get yourself right without cheating if possible.

I, too, am against cheating in a relationship. To me, it shows disrespect for the relationship. I have doneit a few times because i didnt care about those relationships. It was unfair to do, but what's done is done. The only relationship that i did it and really regretted it is the relationship i am in now. I didnt do it because i didnt care about the relationship. I did it because i was scared of the committment i was making. I was falling (and still am) deep in love with my boyfriend and was scared because I thought it would be the end of who i was. I told my boyfriend the truth though, and he was hurt, but he forgave me and we are getting to be a stronger couple every day.
