Ok so I have been talking to my friend yesterday and he was telling me that the girl he likes has a boyfriends. He asked for me advice and I tell him to move on and stop praying for the couple to break up . He feels that was a stupid advice and went to ask my male cousin . Do you agree that we would have less cheaters if people had more respect for others , not being so quick and available . I mean it takes two , if you like someone and then realize that person had a partner would you still make yourself available ? Some people are willing to bed a complete stranger after a 10 minutes intro . Most people dont care about another person feelings , and they should realize by now that what goes around comes around . If only we would follow the golden rule a little more " what you don't like for yourself don't do it to others" , what do you think ?

Nope, I was in this situation, but this guy made himself available when he had his girlfriend. Once I realize he had the girl, I was gone, I want nothing to do with him. It shows the lack of a man he is and disrespectful to both me and his girlfriend I wouldnt want a man like that. Meanwhile, his stupid girlfriend was going around saying things about me because she clearly cant trust her boyfriend so it;s all me not him yet I ignored him the entire time.

Ricki you know I always take you for a boy ... I respect that , I would have done the same thing . A person like that really has no respect for woman , I sometimes wonder if they have a mother or did they just fall from the sky . Some woman can be like that they blame the other woman when still lying with the real culprit . That is the best thing to do, ignore him and his girlfriend .

Most people do! I know it shows I;m the better person, and how low of self esteem and self worth that girl must have if she continues to stay with the guy. They are perfect together, and glad I don;t have to deal with the drama, and ignore them when they say things about me.

I totally agree with you. I believe that what you don't like for yourself don't do it to others. But many people understand this because they think that nobody can cheat them.

true we live for ourselves. children should not agree for marriage for the sake of parents. recently a marriage schedueled for nov.18 --fixed eight months back is now cancelled ==called off --girl agreed for marriage for the same parents and then withdrew possibly due to love earlier. very sad.

I think the guy should just go for it. He should go out and do something with that girl, and try to kiss her, see what happens. If she's super happy with her guy and doesn't like him, she'll smack him in the face and that will be the end of it... if she likes your friend more then the guy she's with, she'll keep going with it, and it will raise a tough time between her and her boyfriend, but she'll just have to tell him what happened, and they'll break up, and the new relationship will be in swing. This is the way that guys work. Every guy wants to be better then other guys, so if a guy likes a girl, and sees that she has a boyfriend, he'll believe that he's better then her boyfriend. If he doesn't think he's better, then he'll walk away, and leave it behind. Obviously, he thinks that he's better, so why not go for it? It may end up with a fight between the two guys, but that's just how it goes. It happens that way in the animal kingdom, and we're just animals like them. Let it happen.

Well even if she kiss my friend , and still not decide to break up , do you think he should settle for being on the sideline ? would you share the person you like? She love her boyfriend from what he tells me but she also find him attractive . That statement you made is true ( every guy wants to be better than the other guy) . Yeah but I mean so much single person are out their why couldn't he just choose one and maybe one day he will get a chance at that girl if she is single .

I don't really think that the statement that you've used is entirely the right statement to use when talking about people that cheat in relationships. Instead, I tend to think that if most people had more consideration for other people, then there wouldn't be nearly the amount of cheating that there is. If a person knows that someone is in a relationship, that should be something that they respect. However, it seems that all too often, that doesn't matter to a person at all as long as they are able to get what they want from a person.

That is exactly what I am saying, "Do you agree that we would have less cheaters if people had more respect for others , not being so quick and available . I mean it takes two , if you like someone and then realize that person had a partner would you still make yourself available ? Some people are willing to bed a complete stranger after a 10 minutes intro . " I think you are also saying the same thing in another way . I agree with what you are saying because its all about having consideration for another person which most people lack ... I know we cannot chose who we love and want but we can at least try for the sake of another .

I don't think your advice is stupid. I think the stupid one is the one who said it was stupid. praying for couples to break up? That is so twisted. Clearly your friend does not love truly. if he loved truly he would leave the couple alone and be happy the woman he loves for being happy even when it was not with him. People who plan to break couples up should know this.

Hello silverfox09 You've done a good job friend. A good friend will always tell good things even though it hurts.If she's my friend I will also advice her the same thing you do. She will completely regret in the future if she will continue her love to that person. It's not the end of the world and better look for another woman suited for him. I think you've done your part well friend and it's up to him to do what is right or what is wrong.

Yes sometime you will have to tell your friends what they dont want to hear for their own good . Agree its best he try dating someone that is single because a love triangle will end with someone getting really hurt . And as you said whatever he do next is up to him .

I think you gave him good advice. If they do break up later he can renew his interest, but meanwhile he should be exploring his other options. There may be someone he knows who would be perfect to have a relationship with. He needs to respect himself enough to let go and let her go her own way.

He dont even have the patient or principle to wait if they may break up he is willing to sneak around if given the opportunity that is what I find silly. Yes he need to respect himself and move on and respect her relationship also .

Some people are just adamant when it comes to choices. To some these people will be seen as stupid while some will deem them to be potential loyalists. To me, this is what I would call individualistic. In this world, there will always be the greedy and gullible ones which is the reason for cheaters' existence and thriving. Unfortunately, the former will always be the first to suffer the consequences. Equally for the latter, there are no exceptions when it comes to retributions because as you have rightly said it yourself what goes round, comes around. So, one good reason for doing the right and good thing today is for tomorrow.

Well put.. Cheaters will continue to exist because of the people that is making themselves available for them to cheat with and not caring . Thank you for your respond

I think being loyal is a matter of morals, people do have it or not. The world is full of temptation, it is okay to jump to other relationship if one wants to but they must end what they have and not to betray anyone, it's so ugly to betray. It's a matter of being a human capable of stabbing someone that trusts us on the back or not.

You are right we all have our short coming if its not cheating its something else. I do agree nothing is wrong with breaking up but some people rather to lie and sneak around .

Hi silverfox, I think that the blame rely on both the parties.. If the person who is in a relation would be honest with someone who approach them in that manner, there would not be incidents like this...I do think people are to easy to just "think the grass may be greener on the other side", knowinng they are in a relation..It has to be stopped right there....you can not attach all the blame on the approacher...the approachee has to bear some responsibility...

I agree, both parties should be blame that is what I was saying when I say when it takes "two". People that cheats and the ones they cheat with . I just feel that if I was single and a person in a relationship that I like after knowing , that would be the end for it for me . I would hate for someone to do that to me . Thats just my personal feeling toward cheaters .
