If a guy used to cheat on you and not care too much but has shown a huge change in behavior although not perfect but not as bad as far as the cheating he hasn't that I know of anyway if he is still hanging with the same people even though he has committed to his lady more will he go back to his old ways? Also when a guy says I love you so much you are the only one I want and so on and asks you to marry him when he is out does he see another girl and think of cheating? If so does his girl even cross his mind?
Human behavior is too varied for me to say that he can't change. I agree with the others who have indicated that he's unlikely to, but you never know.
What's missing is the bright light on the way to Tarsus. If he's still hanging with his original crew and getting in to trouble, then I'd worry. I don't doubt a man's ability to change, to grow, but I doubt that will happen without rearranging things at the roots of his life.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and each time expecting different results. He's got to let go of his old "friends" and do what's right for himself and his family.
I agree with you, except for that the problem might have been him, not his friends. So in that case, if he's changed, he's changed, and his friends are simply a reminder of an earlier time, nothing more. - 11 months ago
Guys do change. some are just insecure or are out there trying to prove something. As masculine as a dude appears to be he may think that's what a guy is supposed to do. He might not have had good role models. Yes some guys actually do value other womens opinions other than their partners and shouldn't that be a good thing? If a guy wants to improve things in his own relationship and asks another woman how to do it because his partner won't tell him, doesn't that show initiative? Do you trust him?
As always I have a theory here I know some of you are tired of me but listen up. The questions should be why do men/women cheat?
And here some possibilities. A break down in communication Something missing in the bedroom Not treating your partner right Or my personal favorite a hurtful way to separate from a loved one.
I'd find out 1st why the guy cheated in the 1st place.
Unless people have a reason they won't cheat,you need to have trust.
At the same time I believe once a cheater always a cheater.
Just like most questions,this really depends on the guy and what he's like. Some guys will cheat till the day they die, it's just who they are. Guys can change though, specially if something very important has happened. I would say to hang back a while, maybe date, but don't take it too serious and wait to see if he stays true. Sometimes a guy will grow up or find that he's truly happy with the girl he's with. As for will guys think of cheating... kind of. A guy will always look at other girls, I know it sounds like a cheap excuse, but that's nature. Where the commitment is, is in the fact that he doesn't cheat. This is true for women too though. Which Movie star do you think is the hottest...... well, there you go- you thought about it. Doesn't mean you'd cheat, it's just nature. What keeps a guy from cheating is that he does think of his girl and what he has with her. Yeah, the other girl might be hot, but is it worthing leaving who he's with? Then he'll think over what the relationship is like (attitude, fun, how much freedom does he have, does he really like/love her, etc.). Guys are very analytical about things. The jack-ass is the one who doesn't take any relationship serious and just making his way around.
The way I see is that cheaters are good at lying, and most cheaters go back to their old ways. Maybe he will be fine 1, 2 years, but on the third one, good luck. Of all my female friends that went back to their cheating boyfriends, not one can say he didn't cheat again. And yeah, there are guys out there that tell a girl they love her, and when they see another girl, and have the chance to cheat, unfortunately they will do it. I had a job where I traveled a lot and married guys would go out and would have one night stands. Next day in the office they would be telling their wives, 'honey, I miss you so much, I can't wait to get home....' blah blah blah blah...so hell yeah, girl and guys can do this... :)
I would give him the benefit of the doubt here, if he hasn't shown you any reason to doubt him about not cheating on you. Sometimes people make terrible mistakes in their lives, and truly feel sorry and deserve a second chance. I would only give him one second chance though. If he returns to his old cheating ways, leave him!
If that guy USED TO cheat on you, forget about him. Someone who is USED TO, can hardly change. If he cheated you once and most important thing: FEELS really SORRY for that, give him a SECOND chance, but be careful not to repeat because you will get hurt again.
Honestly, I agree with the "Once a cheater, always a cheater" thing. I don't think I would ever date a guy again if he cheated on me, and I probably would never even give a guy the time of day if I knew he had cheated before.
Honestly, I think that the saying "once a cheater, always a cheater," has validity because it is true. MY ex boyfriend cheated on me and when I broke up with him he left me for one of the skanks he cheated on me with. Not saying that I made a good move, and I'm not proud of it, but I was angry and helped him cheat on her throughout a period of a year. From January to November we were secret, and he cheated on her on and off and he even said he loved her. He even slept with me the day before her birthday.
I know I sound like a horrible person, but he was my first, and I had a hard time letting go and I just wanted revenge so bad, but I learned he wasn't a good person and what I had been doing was stupid. But now I also know that (even though he says he is faithful to her) that if I came back into the picture as "just a friend," he would come right back and cheat on her. I don't think it is this way with all guys, but I just know that depending on the person, once a cheater always a cheater seems to fit perfectly.
People deserve second chances, most of the time. But I have this thing about cheaters. I've never been cheated on before, but I know it must be one of the worst feelings, especially if it's a mature and deep relationship. Someone who cheats on you doesn't care. They don't care about the wrong they are doing, and the pain that they are willing to put you through.
Although he might seem like he's changed, it might just be a phase. Sometimes people go up and down, but you can't just hang on always hoping and believing that things will get better. If you have any doubt in your mind that he'll cheat again or do anything to hurt you, leave him. No one deserves to be treated like that.
And men, stop trying to change women too...Gothca! I bet everyone thought this would be another diatribe about how ladies have lost touch with what men need in a modern society.Nah.Both sexes are...
Chivalry has two roads that it's facing: Extinction or Endangered, but if chivalry is only an abstract idea and response why is it then so hard to come by? And what makes something chivalrous?...
