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

[coachTanthony]

YES

No

[Wonderer89]

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 :)

[-Asca-]

In that case don't cheat. Break up.

[Opinion Owner]

@-Asca- I would have handled that relationship a lot differently today. At the time I didn't really know how to confront my boyfriend (or people in general) about the situation. I do encourage people to just exit a relationship if they are unhappy because cheating of any kind is never right. Nothing I can do about it now but I definitely learned my lesson

[milantb1]

If you can't keep your hands off men when you're in a relationship how do you do it when you are single. I haven't even kissed a girl in a year and a half and honestly its been easy

[Opinion Owner]

@milantb1 In my case it was emotional cheating and not physical cheating.

[Platypus007]

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.

[Dragon_Rises]

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]

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

[Calixx]

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.

[milantb1]

Yeah but we are not animals i actually have human intelligence and can control myself

[Calixx]

When did I ever say we can’t control ourselves?

[Calixx]

Some people DO and some DON’T.

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

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

[mel1695]

Interesting

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

It is 😊

[DanielOfTheNorth]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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

[coachTanthony]

Hence your name THE GOOD WIFE LOL... thanks for the comment.

[Goodwifie]

Honey I have had way too many bad experiences with men before I met my husband.
Sure I can admire a good looking man but apart from that I feel like I'm asexual when it comes to other men.

[ak667]

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.

https://youtu.be/5897dMWJiSM

I went with "no" with Marcus Aurelius in mind.

[mel1695]

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]

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]

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...

[CandacePerry]

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.

[KeepingIncognito]

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.

[Anon-ymous1]

Well, no, because The Term "Cheating" Is Erroneous and Foolish, and No One Should Use It ↗

[5ara8ear]

"Capable" no, constant consideration or though of it yes.

[brezzaxo765]

No. if i wasn't happy in a relationship in any situation i would break up with them.

[achezc]

Been there…

[Aynsof]

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]

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.
