assuming you just have to write your most honest thoughts, without worrying judgement from anyone, what will make you cheat on your partner? i dont need pretentions here as i really want to know. i might need your responses to prevent my partner from going astray. i think if i find someone who will treat me better, then PROBABLY i would, but until then i wouldnt risk my cheating backfiring on me.

the main thing that will ever trigger or provoke me to cheat...is when i can tell FOR SURE that my partner is no longer in love with me.....or if i ever find out he's cheating on me too. or if my partner is trying to break up with me.... i think i sound lame.... but that's how i really am and how i really feel abt it.

why cheat on him? why not go straight to breaking up with him instead of getting back at him this way? if your purpose is to hurt him back, i dont think it will work especially if you are strongly having the gut feel that he doesnt love you anymore...

yes you're right, it wouldn't hurt him for sure if he's no longer in love with me... but the problem is, i'd probably be the one who can't leave him no matter what (especially if we're already married)...and the cheating should only "help me" alleviate the pain.... well i've never cheated in real life...i haven't come to that kind of situation yet...

you will only cause yourself more trouble. end up hurting yourself more and not even close to getting him back

Hi sweetie. My honest thoughts. I won't cheat on him. If he wants to cheat, hell go ahead. It's not in me to do that. I will rather tell him straight that i don't love him anymore. So much easier than cheating even if both of us gets hurt. TATA.

That's the only way, sweetie. To cheat would hurt that person so much more than being honest in the first place.

depends on a guy. but to most men, temptations are REALLY strong if they have experience courting or having so many Ex's already. it's just a spark moment, some even considered friends for benefits scenario. of course, most people get busted. As for me, that's why i don't get into a relationship yet. because i know am not strong enough.

so not being able to resist temptation is the reason for you to cheat? i dont know whats with men but yeah i think that is always a possibility. call me insecure but i find myself checking on my guy a lot of times and giving him the stares whenever i see a head turn. makes me wana slap him, lol!

Too bad i'm not the cheater type. I prefer the word "faithful" than "loyal" because loyalty means you can be with anyone but still go back to the person you really love while faithful is that he's the only person alone and no any other. Don't cheat you'll get your karma, maybe not now but on another way.

not because you answered this discussion doesnt mean you have the idea of being a cheater. i dont consider myself a cheater even if i started this discussion. for curiosity's sake, that's all. ive had a lot of reason to cheat or to leave him, but i did not and i would not, not ever. i was trying to compare all the responses to my views and none of them convinced me(not even think about it) that its worth cheating.

If she ever deprives me from doing the deed definitely that is a factor for cheating. Thats every mans necessity

that is something ive grown to understand in the course of my relationship with my partner. however, please understand that we cant always keep up with your urges all the time. if we deprive you of it, doesnt mean you have all the reason to cheat. communicate first.

Well, there are some reasons, but not all people cheat because they don`t love their partners. Maybe they get bored, they have problems and they want escapism. The reasons can be varied. I remember one of Def Leppard`s song"Love and Affection", the lyrics say"You`re just another girl, I am just another man, It`s just another night"..What the hell LOL. When I heard the song from my Hysteria album I was still 13, and I didn`t pay attention the the lyrics, and after several years, I listen again and I start to smile...OH...that`s the daily fact.Sorry, you feel that your partner is cheating on you?

I am open with my life here in my lot. And many times I have admitted that I've cheated in my husband. And the reason is because I have been unhappy with him. He doesn't treat me well as a wife. He goes home late at night, at dawn or the next day without telling me where he's been. And most of the time he's drunk. He doesn't replies to my text messages, he doesn't call me or even answers his phone I'm calling him. I have read text messages from other girls and denies he had affair with them, but always alert when the his cp received any calls or messages. He make sure he reads or answers them first and delete them after before I can check on it. He keeps breaking his promises to me and when I had had enough, I fall for another guy without the real intention of cheating on my husband or getting back at him for revenge. If he had treated me well from the very beginning, I am very sure that I would have not done it in any way. I was very much in love with my husband back then. He was my life. There is no other man for me but him. But that was before. And now, I am one of those who are guilty of the same sin most people do.

too close with some one else will make you do it. so don't give your boy friend too close with other girl. it start when your boy friend vent with other just friend girl. so if you love him keep him well beside you. hope you eternal with him.

i dont think he still needs to vent with other girl as i always make sure to keep my communication line with him about anything always open. as far as our relationship is concerned, we dont have boundaries so we can talk about anything. no room for cheating for him.

I would have kept, and if necessary do not get caught but I keep sepandainya definitely caught, if I want to cheat on my partner I definitely have to find out first who exactly is my affair and I make sure she is always caring for me

Main reason is if you got into argument and want revenge... lots of arguments/fighting & you find another guy who is there for you.. another guy who treats you better.

If she cheats on me then i will cheat on her as well. Before i got rid of her, i will cheat first. Haha.. So rude.. But no worries, i'm single. Haha..

for me, the thing that will make me cheat on my partner is if i found someone who would be sweeter than my partner, more caring than my partner or if i found out that my partner was cheating on me. or if i fall out of love and then i dont have the courage to be honest at all to say that im no longer inlove with her. (well the thought gives me chills!!! hahaha!!! i never imagine this.. at all..)

I wasn't reading other's responses on this discussion but I have to write what I think those answers are like: I would never do it. That is what I think most of the mylotters have wrote. And why is there no response such as you were expecting to get? I guess those who respond on this kind of topic are those who have never cheater and those who think they will never cheat. That means that they can not find any reason to cheat on their partner. I am in a relationship for more than 3 years and no-I have never cheater, I have never thought about cheating. That is because I know I would disappoint myself at first place. I don't want be that person cheating partner if I am sure I love him. There is no reason to do it.

Hello. I'm not sure if i cheated my partner but she consider it as a cheating. Anyway, I flirted once due to less time i get from her. I want her attention so i hooked up with someone who give me more time than my girl. All i wanted from her is her attention which she can't give it right now. I'm still tempted to flirt but she already warned me if i do it again she won't accept me again and she will be gone forever( though those flirting only happened online). Oh, my1 China is so huge place to hide. Don't want that to happened. Please God keep me away from temptations.

It is up to how I feel for my partner in that time... In the first time, every thing just so sweet and kind but when it take longer .. you feel nothing for any exciting in your relationship. There always make me want to looking for other guy who can inspire me than my partner. But I am pretty sure that if you and him have true love, and you both were the destiny, always inspire each other even just small pieces of cookie that you eat together for coffee break in the afternoon ... ^^ just the feeling.. it is difficult to explain..

Why cheat? It takes less effort and lying just to break up with someone instead of sneaking around or just right out cheat on them. Personally that's what I would do.

Hmmm..I guess some people cheat cuz they feel lonely and need someone there to care for them. And some people cheat just to do it. Idk..

If there was someone who would treat me better but then I still wouldn't cheat on her because how long would this other treat me better. And I have never been with any one that even comes close to being as good sexually as she is. So no I wouldn't cheat even if a super hot woman was coming on to me. Why break the bond of truthfulness and honesty and cheat. I would rather be up front and honest and ask her if this woman could join in with us.
