If You Knew You Wouldn't Get Caught, Would You Cheat?

[Anonymous]

If you were involved in a wonderful relationship and madly in love with your mate...would you cheat on them anyway if you knew there was a 100% chance that you wouldn't caught? Why or why not?

I will say that I'm surprised by the answers I'm getting from many of the men on this site. I've worked with A LOT of men (prior military), and have many male friends, and through my interactions with them, I have seen on many occasions that even those who are married to beautiful, warm, loving women...have strayed when given the opportunity. The men on GAG must be angels :)

I'm not going to say yes I would cheat, but I'm not going to say no either. Of course, people will say no, but in reality, some don't really know what could happen in the heat of the moment. Some people can control themselves and stop before they make the mistake to cheat, but others will surprisingly give in, even if they are considered to be good people that you'd think might never do something like that.

Personally, I have not and never will cheat on my partner, but then again, I can't promise that because I have not been in a situation where I was tempted to cheat yet. Hopefully I'll be able to stop myself and think about the consequences.

It's in our human nature to make mistakes, but hey we learn from them right? Some have to make the mistake more than once in order to learn the lesson.

Your answer is very insightful, wise and mature given your tender age! Best answer so far!

Nope, never ever. Couldn't live with the guilt, the shame, the feeling dirty.. besides, if I felt the need to cheat, I obviously wouldn't be very keen/attatched/in love/set on the guy I'm in a relationship with.

I would hate myself forever if I cheated, whether I was discovered or not... when I've been single I've done things with other men, but because it wasn't that guy, I'm so ashamed of it, and it felt wrong on so many levels.

I am involved in a wonderful relationship and I am madly in love with my boyfriend... And I definitely wouldn't cheat on him, even if I knew I'd never get caught. Why? Because I don't want to... I'm a one guy kind of girl. Plus I believe in treated others the way you want to be treated, and I definitely wouldn't want him to cheat on me...

No. doesn't that pretty much defeat the point of even being in an "exclusive" relationship to begin with? I wouldn't feel right for one by going about cheating with someone else and id have to live with that on my conscious. Besides If I had prime beef at home, why go for some fast food elsewhere :P

Nope. Forget the heat of the moment or so called it just happened. Right is right,wrong is wrong. Everyone has some sort of common sense and to make an excuse as to why and go cheat is just selfish and considerate.If its that bad then leave BYE! I couldn't do it.

i would definitely not cheat! why would i? I mean, if I'm in love with him and he's in love with me and we have a GREAT relationship then why would I even feel the need to cheat? I really don't see why anyone who has it like this would cheat... if they do, then they're greedy. even if there is a 100% chance I wouldn't get caught, I still wouldn't do it. and whoever would, those people are scum.

nopenope. if I was that madly in love with him, he would be enough.

and so what if id never get caught? id feel like sh*t for keeping that to myself for the rest of my life. why would I wanna ruin my relationship for a one time thing?!

[brunettebelle]

No because I love that person and I feel there is no need to break their trust plus there is no way to be sure that you won't get caught. Also I believe in bad Karma and that saying - "Once a cheater always a cheater."

Nope. I'd still know.

[Asker]

Would your answer change if you no longer loved your mate or were unhappy in the relationship?

[Shaun]

Nope. I value my integrity.

[RedThread78]

Great answer!

[SweetFace28]

No. I know I'd feel terrible inside regardless.

[ShootingStar5]

Ditto.

[Blaxican619]

No. I could never live with that kind of guilt.
