Do you think EVERYONE is capable of CHEATING given the right circumstances?

Question

Wonderer89 · Accepted Answer

I’m kind of in between... I mean if there was a far out crazy scenario then yes I feel everyone would have that capability - like someone in a hugely abusive relationship being allowed out for one night only with no chaperone and a bit of cash to have a nice time, and the exact right person presenting themselves as their ideal and there was 100% zero chance of it getting back to their spouse. Sure, I can see it.
But it simply isn’t the reality, I know that for me the circumstances would have to be so far out of this world, my personality would need to be seriously altered, my relationship would need to be shit and feel like it was beyond repair, huge financial risk for separation and special needs children that I felt I couldn’t handle alone to even get near that choice. And it would have to be like Chris Pratt twins 😂
But the reality is, cheating is a choice and there is nothing realistic in my life that would put me close to tarnishing my soul with that kind of behaviour - let alone breaking my husbands faith and trust in me.

I honestly think almost anyone can cheat under the right circumstances. I consider myself to be extremely loyal but I am ashamed to admit that I cheated in the past. My ex used to treat me unfairly, didn't pay me any attention, and basically put me on the bottom of his priority list. I'm not saying it's right, but it did lead me to emotionally cheat on him with another guy. An emotional affair is just as bad as a physical one. I swore to myself that I would never ever cheat again & have kept my promise. It made me feel really guilty and was morally wrong to do. We all learn from our mistakes :)

I don’t think that applies to everyone and speak from personal experience as when I was in my 20s I traveled for work constantly. when you travel like that and live that lifestyle, you are continuously running into women, who are also in that situation, in both high stress, lonely, flirty, horny and ever changing environments... and you make genuine connections so easy, because of the circumstance.
I can’t imagine any other situation, other than maybe celebrity or rockstar, where “cheating” is so easy, easier than ordering McDonald’s it feels like. However, I was with my girlfriend at the time I both knew (1) totally impossible she would cheat, she just didn’t find men very interesting casually or trust them, hard to explain and (2) she just had so much confidence in me, and never thought of it as a possibility either. So I couldn’t. If she was jealous or pressured me or made me feel guilty, it likely would of happened.

I voted Yes because almost everyone would cheat given the right circumstances. Some people would be loyal or have the decency to breakup with a person before cheating, but most people will just cheat because people in the 21st Century are hedonistic, selfish, and have no morals.

Desconhecida · Answer

I wouldn't dare to say there's no exception. All rules have.

Calixx · Answer

I think everyone has the capability to cheat - BUT, not everyone will cheat, if given the chance. There is temptation and opportunity almost EVERYWHERE, but, that doesn’t mean we always seize those opportunities. People who cheat are different from people who don’t; they follow a different set of values and their morals are different. I don’t believe everyone will cheat given the chance, I think those who are cheaters will, and those who aren’t, won’t.

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

Yeah basically.

Some people are stronger to resist temptation while others may not.

If studying psychology taught me anything is that human behavior is unpredictable and can be easily swayed left or right depending on the situation.

You could have the greatest relationship in the world but when you come home or discover your lover is in bed with someone else, your emotions are so intense you would do things outside your usual behavior

DanielOfTheNorth · Answer

Yes. We are all human, we all sin every day. We all have fleshly desires and temptation. Given enough temptation under the right circumstances with all the right conditions and even the strongest will powered and righteous person could still commit adultery.

But for most those set of conditions that would lead them to cheat never happen. They say "Oh, it would never happen to me" or "I would never cheat" but it can happen to you, and you are capable of doing it yourself. You just haven't had the right motivations to cause it.

But faith is something you put into a partner. It's knowing that you both have temptations all around you, but that you both will never act on it. That's why it's called commitment

CustomTattooist · Answer

No there is no circumstance there isn't ab option, if you are with someone you are WITH that person you dont fck someone else it's that simple. If you're not happy with who your with then leave and go be with who u wanna be with. Cheaters are disgusting people with serious issues. Personally I think if you're a cheater you should be branded so everyone knows cause if you do it once ur gonna do it again and again they never stop no matter who they're with

lord_chilled · Answer

i think many are at least capable, but some aren't.

for example , some people can't commit murder. even when crazy angry or for revenge.
a lot of men cannot commit rape. this goes against the feminist narrative, but in my personal experience the majority of men aren't capable of it.

basically any bad action has this wall for some people. a lot of people just can't get over breaking certain rules. i still remember how hard it was for some of my friends to go beyond "no trespassing' lines, just because they werent supposed to, lol. some guys just ran back.

so, when it comes to cheating, which is something major, i guess some individuals are incapable of it.

TheSikuu · Answer

I can't say there doesn't exist a scenario in which I'd cheat.
The temptation and opportunity has been there a few times in more than one relationship.
So far I've not even come close to it, But I've never met anyone more attractive (in my eyes) or interesting than the person I was saying at the time.
If I ever did I'd most likely still not do anything and resort to avoiding that person.
But yeah man, I don't know, life is unpredictable and people far less likely to cheat than I have in fact done so.
In a perfect world I'd never ever do it, but this world is faaaar from perfect and so am I.

Figen · Answer

Certainly anyone is capable of cheating. Its a matter of choosing to do so and wanting too type bit. I personally when with someone the thought of cheating has never entered my mind nor did I ever want to cheat despite whether or not there was friction in the relationship and etc. That's just not how I am wired.

Goodwifie · Answer

Nope not this little red duck.  I can't even stand another man touching me and I'm not into women.

ak667 · Answer

I think it is a most rare individual who can resist all sorts of temptation, but there are some that supposedly existed. The following video is a bit lengthy but I doubt few people would not find it worthwhile.

CandacePerry · Answer

Every one can cheat on any thing. To games that my little sister always cheated on. Two of my ex bs cheated on me in past. I never thought of cheating it just stupid way not dumping your So. If people think that going to cheat on a relationship. They shouldn’t be in a relationship begin with.

mel1695 · Answer

No. I don’t think everyone is capable of cheating. Cheaters are people who CLEARLY are not ready for a relationship, commitment and responsibility.

21feminist · Answer

Logically speaking, yes. Definitely but it doesn't justify the act. If a real man is dissatisfied with his relationship he either finds a way to fix it or he abandons it altogether, this also goes for women.

Point is everyone is capable of cheating , simple observation is enough validate that claim. But it's like murdering someone you know, just because you can it certainly does mean you should.

Udbhav_Bantwal · Answer

Not at all. I have been given the circumstances a few times and I wasn't even a little bit tempted to cheat. I have been cheated on and when I found out, I still didn't cheat.
I don't have it in me to cheat, when I love someone they become everything to me and I couldn't even imagine cheating on that person...

KeepingIncognito · Answer

Everyone is capable of cheating, whether everyone will go ahead with cheating is another story. Everyone is different. If people are given the same opportunity to do anything, some would take it and others not.
Personally, if I was given the opportunity I wouldn't take it. I'm not a believer in cheating at all. If you're with one person, you're loyal to them or you don't deserve them.

Aynsof · Answer

Anyone can steal under the right circumstances
Anyone can kill under the right circumstances
But cheat? No not unless we count being forced to do so at gunpoint or something?
If you are starving and desperate you might steal food
If your family is threatened you might kill whoever threatens them
But who or what threatens your existence or those you care about if you do not cheat? Is it even cheating if you are forced?

Justinformation · Answer

Everyone thinks they would never do something until it happens. Unhappiness can drive us to do crazy things and its usually a matter of perspective. Love, lust, grief, deppresion are all things that can make us act in ways that are not reflective of who we are. Everyone is capable given the right circimstances.

Hurlyburly · Answer

Well, physically capable sure, its not like your body itself would refuse reacting to stimulation. But not everyone is mentally capeable to, some people are completely loyal to their partners no matter what situation they are in.

xnatos · Answer

Yes I believe that we as humans can love many people. We can’t help when we love someone, I don’t believe that we can just love one person. If you had exes even if it didn’t workout it’s a perfect example.

Lance1965 · Answer

No not everyone but it sure seems like a common thing these days. I am hearing about people cheating all the time.

knowmadd · Answer

Let me say that been with the same woman for 31 years. Now I have had plenty of inconters were it took only seconds to put my self in her feelings. That's a choice even when it could've been easy. But it's about respect of a relationship or don't be in one.

aakashhsakaa · Answer

definitely not.. if you have the right partner besides you, even the thought of cheating won't come to your mind. Also a cheater does not need circumstances. A cheater is always a cheater. And as for circumstances, if someone says they cheated under circumstances then it just means they are weak and immature. Coz it only in the tough times that the true strength of your relationship is tested.

larswisner · Answer

Everyone is capable of doing it but i don't know if they would want to

Kkrill55 · Answer

Your SO has been borderline abusive for a month some new person is completely obsessed with you and waits on you hand and foot... then you get a little to tipsy with them alone in at their place after your SO screamed at you over the phone because you didn't text them when you left the house...

amarizzle · Answer

I think it's possible for anyone to cheat in a relationship, if the relationship isn't strong. If there is any type of doubt or one sidedness, than it can totally happen.

kill_me_with_witt · Answer

Cheating is a loose term.
To some it means you can't talk to opposite sex or even hug. Others it just means you can't screw that specific person but you can with other people. And every variation in between.

MrMilti · Answer

No. There are lots of singles out there... they can't cheat 😂 Regarding those in a relationship... probably not all, but a lot.

I don't think I could EVER cheat no matter what the circumstances were. If I really wanted someone else that bad I would break up with whoever I was with first. That's just how I was raised tho.

PrincessPie · Answer

Definitely..

seth_shuf · Answer

Yes. There isn't a person on this earth who would cheat under the right circumstances. It may be revenge on THEIR partner, revenge on the OTHER'S partner, or just for the hell of it.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I voted no, but that takes a really special person, but generally givin the right situation or agony/loneliness a person will cheat. Its human nature sometimes to be sexually loose and unrestrained.

rahul_24 · Answer

Given then the circumstances are different and would. Personally nope, I prefer talking and communication. If nothing is coming then we have reached the end point unfortunately.
