most men and women cheat on their partners at some point in a relationship, and they need to be informed that cheating has at least an ounce of redeeming value. Cheating is not always bad; surprisingly, it can help to improve current relationships. I'm not implying that every man should go out and be unfaithful, nor am I implying that all men cheat on every woman they date. All it means is that at some point, the little head overpowers the big head and men venture into forbidden territory. HAVE YOU EVER CHEATED YOUR PARTNER OR YOUR BOYFRIEND ANYTIME IN LIFE??

To mould gold into a very beautifull master piece of your desird shape u need to adultrate it with some impurities same way to have a very healthy relation with any be it ur date your spouse or anyone.some part of cheating is very important. Its not that we guys cheat them just for fantasy or so that we can enjoy with other by avoiding her its because we wwant them to be more close to us than they are.and i dont see in any way its wrong.Infact its mmore usefull and most needed in having healthy relations

No absolutely no....i dnt think cheating or being unfaithful to ur partner can have any virtue, whatsoever. Its an absolutely absurd (xcuse me) idea and kinda of xcuse a person wth twisted mind usually resort to...yes we might b tempted sometime, as we are member of the tribe mammal (mammals never remain, faithful to their partner & that is genetical trait...unlike birds, reptiles etc)....but being human, we hv something called a neocortex in brain (or the area whch seperate us from rest of the mammals...imparting us with the power of reasoning, wisdom, consciousness...)....yes we do need a break sometimes from a some wat trbled relations, or after a fight etc.....th best way to do tht...go somewhere...live alone...let sometime (hrs to days only)elaps..thinks will come to normal course on its own...hey thts human...

I have never cheated on a bf and I never would coz I have been cheated on and I know what it feels like to be betrayed like that, coz that is what it is - a betrayal! I would never try to forgive a cheater again so for my relationship it would be no good at all!

cheating is never healthy in a relationship because it hurts people, it destroys trust towards each other.

cheating cannot be appreciated ,some people cheat because they are like that ,some in search of emotional or physical need ,even u gget back to the original partner the relationship will require mending and it leaves scar it is not the same . i think even thinking of cheating is showing that ur not the same person and u need to reevaluate u and ur relationship.commitment and responsibilities are the most important part of life,btw u is for anybody and certainly not speicific.

Nope, I've never cheated my partner and never will. I don't think it is healthy in a relationship bec. it can destroy the trust and respect for each other. If you love your partner, so y cheat?! Are you not happy? :) That is usually the question that lies in the heads of the person who has been cheated. What goes around comes around, as they say. Building the trust again is so hard and there is no guarantee that it can be rebuild. If you are not happy with that relationship, y not break up with him/her or tell him/her than cheat ryt? :)I guess people cheat bec. they are not contented with what they get and for me once your partner cheats on you and no matter how he promise, he will still do it again. :)

i am not really sure that cheating is healthy for a relationship. i have been married for three years and i have cheated on my husband once. well i had one affair that lasted for about two months. i guess it made me realize how much i love my husband and how i couldn't live without him. but if he ever found out it would be the end of our relationship so it wasn't worth it because now i have to feel guilty and worry about wether he is going to find out for the rest of my life.

I told my husband that once I caught him cheating on me, then its goodbye. For me, its insulting and degrading to say the least. A person can cheat for many reasons. Marital squabbles, constant arguments, lacking in communication and attention and insecurities. But cheating is still cheating. I don't accept any form of cheating.

I don't see how cheating can make a relationship stronger, if you had a Strong, Loving, Committed relationship then there's no reason to cheat. If a person cheats there was never anything there in the relationship of any value to begin with. Cheating always hurts someone, theres no way around. People who cheat have no communication with there partner and no respect for themselves or the other. When people say chating or and affair helped our relationship they are only kidding themselves, when cheating starts with a lie and continues to get into bigger lies and less time spent together,so how is this helpful to a relationship?

i agree with you. cheating is not always bad, sometimes you need to cheat your partner to ensure the smooth relationship between you two. when you need to cheat him or her and you didn't do it, it may bring bad results.

NO. One should not cheat his/her partner. Its not going to have any positive effect in your relationship. Would you like if your partner cheats you ? Certainly not. So why you should cheat ? Be loyal. If there are problems going on in a relationship one should revive it through innovative ideas. Try to do things which would create interest about you in your partner. I can never think of cheating my partner. I am the most loyal.

Cheating isn't healthy for a relationship. Cheating totally dissolves the truth between two people. You can forgive, of course, but there will always be that voice in the back of your head wondering if he'd cheating again or wondering if he's going to do it again in the future. Take in from me, it's hurtful. I've been "seeing" a man for the last three months. I say "seeing" because we're just starting out. Just the other day, he mentioned the possibility of his friends setting him up with someone. I was very hurt by this because he made it sound like he had every intention of seeing the girl as long as, you know, he mentioned it to me. What was I going to say? It's not like we're an official couple but it still hurts. Imagine what that have been like for me if we had been a lot closer. It would have been horrible. Now I'm stuck wondering if I should just let this man go so he can experience other people. When a person's feelings and heart are involved, tread carefully and don't cheat. If you want to see other people, break it off with the person you're seeing. It doesn't make it any better but at least you're not sneaking around and living in a distrustful relationship.

i don't get the point that "Cheating is not always bad". If so, what does it do to improve someone's personality or improve the relationship? what sort of benefits you could get in cheating your partner? i think of cheating as being "selfish" just to fulfill the needs of thyself then in the end, you gonna regret all what you have done wrong. cheating is not the way to improve the relationship. partners should work together to keep the relationship strong. it is in the way you handle it. people find excuses why they cheat. so why do people cheat? because people doesn't get satisfied and contented with one partner. then why not let go of someone in order to find another one? i bet that was easier to do instead of trying not to be caught while cheating. cheaters are not worth loving. faithful people deserves the same.

Unfortunately cheating during the relationship was a big no-no and will result in the breakups. I had one girl cheating at me, I've never met her in person and only talking each other until one day she mentioned that there was one person she cares so much and he was in the hospital, and he needs her. This led to the break-up and lucky that I don't have any pain for it...but that was a bitter and I have been cheated by her.

No, cheating is NOT healthy for a relationship. My dad cheated on my mom with a female co-worker when I was a girl and it destroyed their marriage of 20 years. I would never cheat on my husband. And I hope he would never cheat on me. I say 'hope' instead of 'know', because no one can ever be 100% certain their spouse, or SO, wouldn't cheat on them. JMHO

i haven't do that to my partner and i don't plan to do tthat either.but some of my friends experinced that situation.my friend is the girl and most of their fights are because of her.she cheated on her boyfriend so many times already and everytime she do it her boyfriend will broke up with her.she always blame her boyfriend because according to her,he does not paying attention to her.they will just see each other atleast once a week,and so my friend enjoys being with other male friend of ours.sometimes when we go out together she meets other guys and so on.but everytime my friend and her boyfriend brokes up the guy always the one who first make the move to bring back the relationship and try to work things up.i might say the guy learns his lessons that's why the relationship is still there right now.and im glad they are still together
