What would you do if you find out your partner, girl/boy friend is having an affair with someone behind your back; tell us how you are going to react in situation like this and what type of action you will take or you don't mind at all since you are doing the same too behind her/him back. For me , i probably will have a talk with her, then will choose to separate and end our relationship. I am not interested to have a cheating relationship with someone i love , how about you?? Mylotters...

Lampar, Cheating is NEVER ok. It is always a sticky situation for the cheater as well as the cheatee. I had a boyfriend once who cheated on me, and quite frankly my first reaction was pure revenge and hatred. I wanted to hurt him as badly as he hurt me. I was so angry and furious that nothing seemed to satisfy me. Then when I chose to stay with him after I had calmed down, whenever we would fight, I would mention that, because deep down it still hurt. Also it was just too hard to completely forgive him and to believe that he wouldn't do something like that again. In the end we decided to split because it created too many trust issues.

I agree it is never OK to cheat on a love relationship; unless of course if i like to cheat once a while, then may be i will think otherwise. Once i got cheated, i will never have that trust again on my partner, i am sure it is quite clear on almost everyone with a thinking head, trust issue is also an important element in a loving relationship. Thank for your response. jrr.

i am not a kind of person who deals with problems like that, but i will tell or express to the cheating person that i saw him/her. i will look at him in the eye with disgrace. but if i saw the wife of my brothers, or husbands of my sisters well thats a different situation. with regarding my wife, i dont think that she will do that. i am a perfect husband har har har joke. well we talk about anything and everything and we rather hear it from each other than to being caught in the act.

one of my brother cheated on his wife, i talk to him man to man. i am the oldest and he is second to the youngest. my wife was so angry because the wife of my brother is one of the singer that she had worked with. i can not say they are friends for they have different age level but my wife cares about her like a little sister. but my brother still did not listen to me. so i told his wife. they wife told me that there are more with that,that i dont know. he had cheated on her not just once but more than 4 or five times. now their marriage is in the rock and i wont be in the middle to fix it. i think cheaters deserve to lose their wife or husband, thats the price they have to pay.

Four or five times cheat on his wife, in this case, he should be kick out of the house by his wife and receive a divorce paper from her lawyer soon, there is no excuse for that. I doubt you can fix any of it, it has to be done by your sister in law and decide by her alone, if she's serious and angry about his infidelity.

Hi, pal! I believe everybody in Mylot known the fact you are a perfect husband, but it is not necessary mean that your wife knew that too, also in no way i am trying to imply that your wife will cheat on you in my discussion. It is just a hypothetical situation and does not have 100% certainty it will happen in every relationship or marriage. haha.... That is right, you like to talk about everything and anything, that is going to help a lot in a marriage. Thank you for sharing your reaction(look him in the eye), it probably will scare him away....haha..... Happy mylotting to you!!

This just happened to my mom and she wanted to try and work it out, if only because she had invested 30 years of her life into my dad and couldn't imagine her life with out him. Now he has become a jackass all the way around and she is not feeling the same way. They are divorcing. I do not tolerate cheating and I make it known. It has never happened to me and hopefully it never will, but that is the ultimate breech of trust. My mother is now in a situation where she is divorcing my dad for something horrible that he did to her and his family and the lawyers tell her that California is a 'no fault state' which means that all divorces are mutual and no one is blamed or punished for their actions that may have led to divorce. Now she is in danger of becoming a poor, single mother, cheated out of some of her child support because of the way that my dad is trying to make the judge believe that he will take care of the kids. It seems to me that the system here is giving positive re-enforcement to my dad, who screwed another lady in a parking lot and punishing my mother who was always faithful and stayed home her whole life to take care of his children. Cheating destroys people, and not just the people directly involved... I too am having to redefine my view on the world and on men in particular.

'No fault state' , is that for real, seem like California is upside down in everything including decent family value too. I am amazed that she can not get child support in state court from a cheater husband because the state doesn't recognize he is at fault in this divorce, seem like your elected law makers got some sh*ts stuck inside their brains to have such law in the book, is that why Cali. calling itself a 'golden state' ?? lol!! Yes, cheating by either one in a marriage can destroy the family and unfortunately children too. Btw, if your dad is into cheating, doesn't mean all men are like him and it has really nothing to do with the rest of the world and guys or husbands, except himself that is not man enough to be faithful to his wife and marriage, like you said, he is a 'jackas* cheater' , and nothing else, hope that he is not messing up your brain too with his conduct and wickedness. Thank for your response. agir.

I would catch him in a lie, make him confess, and then leave him. All trust would be gone and I would never be able to forgive him for what he has done.

I agree it is never ok to cheat in a relationship. Either one has to behave and restrain the urge no matter what , there is no excuse for doing it. Thank for your response.

If I found out my husband was cheating behind my back I would first be hurt but then angry. I think if you have the desire to cheat (and I've always told him this) come to me first and let's work on why you want to cheat. Cheating in a marriage is adultery and grounds for divorce. I know I could never fully trust someone who cheated on me and there wouldn't be any point in continuing the marriage. Trust is the foundation of any relationship and if you don't have it because the other cheated it's better to end it. Even before I was married I felt the same way, if you feel the need to cheat then you don't need to be with that person or you need to work on why you feel that way and you'll have a better relationship.

I agree with you. It will be hurtful to know about your partner for life is cheating behind you, someone you think you can count on , no doubt about it. Thank for your response.

I'm choosing your path. My husband is having an emotional affair with another woman. While he shows me no emotion, it's actually breaking my heart being in this relationship. But I'm counting the days to when I can leave him and start over somewhere else.

hi lampar, that problem is very common nowadays lampar, i hate if a person does it.. if ever that will happen to me, well i will talk to him seriously and talk with each other if do we need to continue our relationship.. i will not shout at him or even make him bitter, talk and talk and we can just fix it out.. if it will not, oh better break him off and leave him alone with his girl.. maybe we are not meant for each other and start another chapter in our life to someone who deserves our love.. janebeth.

It does seem quite common nowadays, jane. Leave him and treat it as a history is a much easier approach in my opinion. But then again, it is entirely up to you to decide whether you can build the trust again in the future or not. Some may regard it important in a relationship, and some may not, individual has his/her own way of seeing it. Thank for your response.

Hi lampar! I think nobody wants to be cheated except when you are also a cheater. I would definitely ask my partner why is he doing that to me, if he is no longer happy with the relationship we have then we can part ways. However, the decision should both come from us depending on the explaination that he'll be giving me it might be me who had pushed him away. In this case I can give him a chance and make sure that we both make an effort to work things out but the third party should be out of the picture.

Hi,sean, i can not agree it is you who push him away to have an affair, no one is wrong except the cheater himself, unless of course if you cheated him once/few times before , then he want to get even with you, that will be different scenario. Well i am sure you can handle it the best possible way for yourself but should never blame it on yourself if you are not the cheating heart yourself. Think about it with a clear head instead of lead by emotion and feeling from your heart. Thank for your response.

As for me, i think i will just talk to him heart to heart. i will ask for an explanation why he has to do that to me and then ask him to choose between us. if he choose her, then that would be the end of our relationship. However if he choose me instead and promise me he wont commit same mistake again, i will forgive him and give our relationship a second chance. and i will help him forget the girl and make our relationship worth fighting for.

If you have to go on the second option, i wish you the best of luck in it, only you can tell whether the relationship is worth fighting for, i can only wish you successful in whatever efforts you put into to save your relationship. Thank for your response.

i do not take cheating lightly. i will confront my husband about it and much as i would want to be cool-headed in doing so, that i can only try but cannot promise nor guarantee that i would be able to control my temper. things such as cheating ur partner is already a grave offense between spouses. i may be level-headed in other confrontations but this one, no guarantee. i believe that cheating, either once or a few times, is still cheating. and i am of the opinion that if he can cheat for once, i am sure he can do it all the time. i would be very much hurt if he cheats me and that fact would surely make me feel depressed thinking about it all the time. i should think of ways to save myself from depression, talk it out with him, tell him i want to break free from the relationship. it would be very hard at the beginning but it is better than being in a relationship where cheating has no end. i have to accept that fact and i will try to move on with the help of friends and relatives and with a lot of prayers.

That is right, cheating once or several times or all the time is still consider as cheating for me, and i agree that majority of cheater will do it again after awhile, especially after enjoying the first excitement without reprimand. Break free from him is by far the best solution i think will work out well for most wife in this situation. Thank for your response. happy mylotting to you!!

i would deal with this type of situation like this.. 1. if i suspect that my boyfriend is cheating on me, i'll confront him. i'll ask him face-to-face and ask him whether or not he's having an affair. i'll give him my reasons for having such suspicion. and i'll tell him how all this makes me feel. after airing out my side, i'll listen to his. i'll give him the chance to explain himself. then we'll both straighten things out and decide on what to do with our relationship. 2. but if i caught my boyfriend cheating on me, i will walk out from our relationship without telling him that we're over. i will not hear his side anymore because it's enough that i caught him red-handed. i will not communicate with him anymore because i don't like to be with someone who cheats on me. if somebody cheats on you, then it means that they don't love you and they're not happy with you that's why they are having an affair.

Here come a woman with a clear head. I bet your boy friend will be extra careful if he happen to read this; he better be sure no suspicious activity is detected by you, if not, he is in for a lengthy talk with big lesson. lol!! I concur with your reasoning . Thank for your response!!

i would definitely be pissed and then i would break up with him immediately. cheating is cheating. when you cheat on somebody who you claim you love, it's like disrespecting your commitment to each other, etc etc. look for that person who would want to be with you and would never cheat on you.

If I found out that my man was cheating on me behind my back I would kick his butt to the curb. I would end the relationship immediatly and find me someone who would love me and not go behind my back to have an affair with someone else.

I honestly cannot see this ever happening in our marriage but I'm sure there are hundreds of women who have said the exact same thing only to discover their husband cheated. If he did cheat on me I would be absolutely devastated and I really do think I would be filing for divorce. We've only been married for not even 6 months so I can't fathom either of us cheating and I can't even imagine what it would feel like to find out he had. Hopefully I never have to find out what it feels like!

I also wish you will never have to find out accidentally to know how it feel, wish he is as faithful to you as before and no affair is in the way of your marriage. Thank for your response.

I think most of people in the world can not accept the cheating relationship. I also think it’s not acceptable. However life is very complicated, likewise our love feeling is very complicated too. Sometimes we don’t have right or wrong answers. Sometimes we are in conflict to make a decision. Many people know the story between Clinton and his wife. When he did cheating thing to his wife, but his wife still stands in his side. His wife said I know he loves me; there is difference between love and relationship. Her statement made me thinking a lot.

If you love him with all your 'heart', one time is enough to break it , lucy. but telling him to get away sometime doesn't work, so you need to do more sometimes just to break away from the relationship. lol!!! Thank for your response!!!

I have been involved in this type relationship for several years. My husband is a cheater and he promised he would end everything several years back. I know he has ended everything but now that he totally committed to me im not having the same feelings about him. So i guess he cheated first and then i went and cheated but honestly its not anyones fault we just are not ment to be together , cant be happy together. I think over the years its the falling out of love thing and since so much bad has happened i cant seem to get that feeling back about him now that ive found someone i honestly feel i was ment to be with.

If he cheated first, then it is his fault, but then you do the same in order to get back at him , then it become both faults. I agree it is no one fault except both of you. You must be young when it happened because you choose to cheat back at him instead of leaving him, it is an immature reaction, i think. Thank for sharing , and happy mylotting to you, good2.

I have a long distance relationship with my boyfriend, although i trust him 100%. If he met someone he did want to sleep with.. say have a one night stand with and he talked to me about it, i think i would be ok with it, as everyone has urges. as long as its me he wants to be with ( i know a lot of you will disagree) I just hope he would never cheat AKA always be honest with me about anything, including his urges towards another woman

I have no problem agree with whatever decision you make with your relationship, after all , it is you and him , not any other people have to live with that; so long as you feel comfortable if he is talking to you before it happened. Will you think it is ok if he never mention about it and you find out accidentally later on?? or he doesn't want to admit having an affair even though you evidence showing otherwise?? Thank for your response and happy mylotting !!
