Once a cheater always a cheater. Agree or disagree?

[montyybello]

Are there certain actions/choices in life that you can't come back from; Like once you cross that line, you have to stay on that side. We have this mindset in other situations, perfect example is murder. Once you murder somebody, you ARE a murderer, and no amount of time after that changes it. Can people change or are they bound to the lines they've crossed in the past.

Yes

No

I've cheated in the past, but it was a one-time mistake...

Actually I believe an amount of time does change that. You commit a crime at 14, that doesn’t make 40 year old you a criminal. It isn’t once a cheat always a cheat, people make mistakes, they grow, they go through stuff or meet people that changes them. Life comes with so many opportunity that help people grow, resist temptation and become better partners.

That's what research has shown.

But it's not applicable to everyone. There are some specific circumstances in which I know I would cheat (and I would not be able to leave).

Would I do it to the next man? No (as long as the same specific situation doesn't present itself).

I find it funny that the majority of women (for now) voted no. Guilty conscience ladies? ;D It's just logical. :)

Once a cheater always a cheater lol not even a second chance from me go back to the person you cheated with me on so he can cheat on you and you'll know how it felt. Sweet taste of karma lol.

It doesn't mean you will always cheat, but you can't undo the past.

I say once a cheater, almost always a cheater. Of course there are rare exceptions, but I wouldn't want to ever risk that.

Not true. People can make amends for their past mistakes.

[QueenTanya]

people can change if you give them a chance
