Are people who've been cheated on more or less likely to cheat in future relationships?

Question

I'm just curious as to what people think about this and your experience.

Neither.
For people who think they're more likely to cheat.. lets not forget that people who cheat back to get revenge or whatever are usually the loudest party. If they have the nerve to do that, they're probably also gonna blast their ex on social media and whatnot. So it may seem like MOST people who have been cheated on will cheat in return, but the fact that these people are more likely to advertise their doings will skew the stats.

As for the people who have been cheated on and don't cheat on return... I'm one of those and honestly, I don't feel any different than I did prior to getting cheated on. I never felt like cheating on my ex, nor did I feel like doing that after. My principles and values didn't shift just because one person wronged me.

I would definitely say victims of cheating are less likely to cheat on their future partners. They know first hand what that kind of pain feels like, why would they be inclined to inflict that kind of pain on someone else?

Only d*cks will cheat, they will try to justify the reasons. And from all of them, revenge is the d*est of them all.

I read this completely wrong. I think they are less likely to cheat since they know how it feels.

Less likely to cheat. Myself if a girl cheated on me
i would move on without any questions asked i wouldn't
do what my parents did , my mom cheated on my dad
what did my dad do years after, he cheated on my mom
than they agreed to a no fault divorce.

Good question. I've often wondered this myself.  My guess - and it is only a guess - is that they are LESS likely to cheat, having been on the receiving end themselves.

Novacaine · Answer

Less likely because they don't want to wish that feeling on anyone. People by nature want the best for themselves and for others, only a few disregard other people's emotions. Besides, it's easy to make the decision to jump out or away from someone who's cheated.

i've never seen anything that suggests that a person who's been cheated on is more likely to cheat themselves

I selected the wrong answer accidentally 😂 I think they're less likely because the know what it feels like

They are less likely cuz if they haven’t done it after being cheated on many times or once, they likely won’t do it again

They also probably won’t cheat cuz they know how bad it feels when cheated on

I'd assume less likely as they'd know how it feels and surely wouldn't want to be responsible for someone feeling that way!

I've always been cheated on, but I'll never cheat. Ever.

Neither. It doesn't reform a previous cheater either. Some people just don't care.
