I was in an LDR, we lived together for 1 year before LDR. We saw each other every other month from USA to Europe it was hard to keep the separate times shorter but we did out best. We were texting, talking on the phone, videochatting, skyping constantly, and never stopped. However, sometimes out of sight, out of mind (hormones not really mind). So into the 8th month of LDR, I met a cute guy working at the next office, we were working on the same project and he told me he liked me and he was clearly hitting on me, he even introduced me to his 4 year old kid as he was single dad divorced two years prior and got over and looking for serious relationship, and he always mentioned how good i was with his kid, how beautiful I am etc. but he knew I had a boyfriend because I was upfront. We started doing a lot of activities together and my then-LDR boyfriend knew that because I was telling him all the details. Maybe then-flirty-guy thought I would give in and cheat or break up with my ex for him, and in fact I was about the way of infidelity, so everyday before the meeting I was reminding myself of how much I love my boyfriend, how much I miss him, how great we are together etc. and checking our photos together, the gifts he gave me, and always reminding myself that I should not cheat.
So all in all, I did NOT cheat because nobody deserves that. I cut my ties with the guy after project was done. And I am not even regretful thinking that I might have missed a good closer relationship with him. Cheating is a disease, and it is disrespectful no matter what the excuses are. Everyone can control their physical or emotional urges, and can communicate with their partners if there is something wrong. If they are not satisfied, then the route is to break up, not to cheat someone.

Absolutely not. Cheating is a horrible thing to do to someone. If my boyfriend didn't pay enough attention to me because he was working, I would straight up be honest with him. "Hey, i know how hard you've been working lately and that's awesome, but I've been feeling a bit neglected lately so do you think you can take days off work every once in a while so that we can do something together?" Or I'll say something along those lines lol
What Girls Said
Only reason why I would cheat is if he did it to me first. And I honestly don't know if I would still have the heart to do it. My boyfriend currently has a work schedule that is opposite to mine. So we see each other a maximum of 2 hours. And that is really just because we live together. Any woman who cheats for a sad excuse as a busy work schedule might as well be single, because that is just the world we live in now.
If I felt like he wasn't making me a priority, I'd talk to him about the issue and try to find a suitable solution to the problem.
I'd never cheat on him. However, I'm equally confident that he wouldn't make me feel ignored to the point where I'd feel tempted.Never. I would never accept a man cheating on me. And I would never accept myself if I cheated on my man. I did have a boyfriend that didn't pay attention to me do to work. I broke up with him. I really liked him but I obviously wasn't a priority in his life, and he wasn't going to change any time soon.
Nope. If I'm not getting the attention I need, then I will talk to him about it and we'll find a solution. Worst case scenario is that I'd have to end our relationship if things weren't getting better.
No, once you make a commitment, keep your word and honor that. Leave the boyfriend if you don't want to commit, and if you do, do it without cheating. On the other hand, guys or anyone should not neglect their loved ones for work or anything, just make an effort don't have to give all of your time or too much of it
Never in a million years. Cheating is disgusting. If I wasn't happy with my boyfriend I'd either talk to him about it and if nothing solved that then I'd leave.
Who the heck would answer yes to this question? lol
That's not a reason to cheat. If You can handle his heavy work schedule than break up. lol
It's better than cheating.some people do that, you just gotta make sure your significant other feels loved and wanted even if you're too busy cuz of work
I only cheated when I smothered to death and borderline stalked. If he was busy I wouldn't be mad, I would just do all the things I've wanted to do.
Then again I'm not really the needy type. I assume someone who wants a lot of attention might consider cheating?
