+1 yThis has never made sense to me. No one can "take" your partner. It takes two to tango, and they have to willingly cheat or leave you for another person. If they think so little of you to do that, why try to keep them around, anyway? As far as I'm concerned, the other person can have them (not to mention they will almost certainly do it to them as well)!
10 Reply There was an idea I thought of years ago and still live by.
"At any second for any reason at all, your partner can leave and there is nothing you can do about it."
I'd asked someone I was then interested in about this idea and she wholly agreed that's the way it should be.
This shaped my perception of all things and accounts for about 40% of the reason why I don't pursue relationships. I find it odd that anyone would believe their partner is committed to them. There are hundreds of people in your immediate vicinity, and swathes more if one's willing to travel. To think someone would want to experience just you for the rest of their life is an audacious belief.
Lately, I've expanded this to include exceptions. If you're always the best person in the room, if you never exhibit unlikable qualities, if you pursue perfection and produce results, then you may delay likely onset of this reality. That said, it is an inevitability that she will want someone else. If she doesn't want you, there's nothing you can do. To that end, is it even worth considering or worrying about?00 Reply963 opinions shared on Dating topic. No, not at all, also because physically i'm 100% his type, and he is VERY PICKY (a Virgo) and he also loves my personality, so i strongly believe that he is not even thinking about replacing me... I mean good look finding a naturally tanned with green eyes and brown hair italian with a kick ass personality... *shrugs* ...-NOT THAT IM FLAWLESS DON'T GET ME WRONG... but i had to say it it's so fun LOL.
I mean other than that, I think it's a self esteem thing in general, if people are insecure they will always be scared, and that might even chase the partner away... at least according to me I might be wrong but insecurity is the cause of many many many issues in relationships.

+1 yNot at all. In fact, I prefer it to happen as soon as possible, if it's going to happen at all. Even in my 20's I always felt that if she wasn't marriage material, there is no point in dating. Time goes by so damn fast, seeing someone just for sex seems ridiculous to me. If she's gonna go, then go.

+1 yNot really, I have my own goals, dreams and things I want to do with my life outside of my partner, sure life is better with them. But if he was to leave me. I have so many awesome things and feelings of purpose I want to Do with my life that could fill my life with meaning until I find a new partner.
when I was younger I used to worry about this because my whole life happiness was based around being with this person, now that my life is about my goals and being with my partner is an addition I do not worry about this much at all. In fact the opposite. I get excited of the idea of who else I could meet in my life. Someone with a different accent, from a different country, with different life experiences I could hear all about, cool stories.
Its just perspective.00 Reply
+1 yyes, this what happen to me while I was in college and one girl had a crush on my ex partner and knew is was her was very dramatic and always got us in trouble. I went to a learning disabilities special college. is happen more then once with. one girl threated me to break up with my first boyfriend that I did had. other girls tried to get involved with my relationship when I told them not and they didn't listen to me. I also told guys that I did have relationship that do not trust this girl or women. some women didn't even listen to my partners. this is why i do not want to have a hot looking guys and always run into girls liked that

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yGlad to see so many confident people who believe in themselves. Always do. No matter what. Coming from someone who was nothing but good to a man who left me for someone else, I miss that feeling of knowing I’m good
enough before that happened. However, I still feel good enough. He tried to come back but that doesn’t matter. I want to be happy and want him to be as well, and I’m currently with a man who has wanted me since we were 14. Ten years later he is nothing but good to me, so I’m pretty confident he will stay. I’m very lucky to have him00 Reply
+1 yMen cheat, women cheat. It fkn sucks, I'm dealing with mine who I knew was but couldn't really accuse him until there was absolutely no doubt. It usually doesn't matter how great or not great you are it's the individual who makes that choice. Feelings hurt, then all of a sudden you are like.. ffs now what? So I never worried because you can't control others actions. Just hurt

+1 ySore I mean we they are humans they can slip up but I wouldn't dwell on that, just always find a way to keep the relationship fun and loving. The ball is in their court, however, so if he leaves for another person it just shows how much you meant to him. On to the next.
00 Reply988 opinions shared on Dating topic. Hmmmm usually kind and selfless people don't say so about themselves.
Also they get cheated on the most just so you know.
As for me no I don't worry about that because I own who I am for better or worse with me a girl knows what she's getting and what she's not getting if it's not enough all she has to do is walk away00 Reply- 723 opinions shared on Dating topic.
+1 yNobody can take your lover. Your lover is choosing to go with someone else. People get this twisted all the time. If someone can come in and win over the affection of your partner, they weren't yours to begin with. Relationships require committment to succeed. You're not committed if someone can sway your heart.

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yI never had to worry before, until my ex bestfriends stole him just for fun because they wanted to for lust while cheating on their boyfriends too. If I ever had to suspect or worry about a future lover going astray, that means he broke my trust already which lead to an unhappy relationship that I do no longer want to be part of.

EXACTLY... Your gut feeling tells that something is definitely wrong. This is my experience. My ex appeared to be perfect but I was having a feeling that he's hiding lots of things from me. I'm an ambitious person but still working on my laziness so imagine balancing my goals and also spending emotional energy on a partner I'm having doubts about. I guess I'll die alone.
Opinion Owner+1 yYeah it sucks too but you won't die alone. Stay strong and do things that make you happy and then you may meet someone who enjoy the same thing you do.
Opinion Owner+1 yAlways love yourself to not be disrespected. 🥰
I like the idea of a multiple people in the relationship (takes a village to raise a child)
I am not attached to anyone, belief we can have multiple partners with some rules that suite all parties of the relationship.

+1 y"Once burnt, twice shy" as they say. It's happened once already, so in the back of my mind there's no reason to assume it couldn't happen again, given the right milieu. I would hope it doesn't happen again of course, but hope is not a strategy.

+1 yNo I am not.
Not because Im overly confident... And think Im better than all... No anyone can be cheated on...
I just know If he attempt to stray... There will be hell to pay! 😈01 ReplyYes, and I hate that I worry that. Obviously I don't want to get hurt but it also stems from fears surrounding my childhood. My parents split up due to infidelity and it has left me paranoid that history will repeat itself. I don't want it for any future kids I may have either.

If he loved me enough he'd have enough self control and respect for our relationship not to give in to temptation no matter how long we are into our relationship
