I am not grossed out by the act, but rather the disregard for your partner's feelings, if that makes sense. Lusting for another individual whom is not your partner is common and inevitable. doesn't matter if it is someone you know, a porn star or a damn celebrity. Sometimes it just happens that way. That is where fantasies come in to play.
However, to act on those desires is a completely different story. Once you have made a commitment to a person, you should remain committed and if you feel yourself slipping up (because let's face it, shit happens) you should be honest with your partner about it and either A ) work through it or B ) move on. If you decide to cheat you are knowingly putting your partner in a position where they will start questioning themselves. They start feeling unworthy, inadequate, unattractive, etc. The fact that some people do this to their partner and dont care how they are feeling grosses me out. I have an upmost respect for a man/woman who can face their partner and be honest. Cheating and then telling them later is not an act of honesty. That is merely guilt. Honesty is you coming forth beforehand and explaining to your partner that you have either developed feelings for another individual OR have the desire to be with other people.

If not married, no need to put energy to it. He or she has to go.
If married, you made a vow for better or worst... until death and not divorce do you part. If you have to separate to come back together, get counseling, etc to reunite the marriage do so. If the person just can't seem to get right, etc... You have to make the decision to walk away from the marriage. To me marriage is the only committed relationship to fight for because you made a verbal vow before God and man.
All other relationships are drafts and not the final contract.
The stats are in...
About 75-80% of LTR's endure some sort of infidelity.
Of those about 15% survive, even improve. The rest implode.
People cheat for all kinds of reasons, but primarily they are missing something in their relationship so they open themselves up to another. One thing leads to another. You'll hear the classic, "but I didn't intend for it to go that far".
Cheating is pretty well split 50-50 by gender, but women are better liars so the stats are skewed to men.
And while you can't blame the victim of cheating, there is nearly always culpability for failures in the relationship.
Don't be too quick to judge.

For me, cheating is an absolute deal breaker. I give my partner my total trust but, once they have violated my trust, how could I ever totally trust them again? Perhaps I could find it in my heart to forgive them, but I would never forget.
I have been cheated on once of which I am aware, and it ended my marriage. I have never cheated on a partner.

That would be the end of that relationship, no exceptions.
Now first off, I'm a ONE WOMAN kinda guy.
And if I love someone, that's it. She's my everything.
Even right now, my girlfriend means the world to me more than any other girl.
Now... coming to the cheating part, it depends on each people.
Some people explode, while others die inside.
Supposedly of my girlfriend ever cheated on me, then I'd surely blow and die inside. I'll go out somewhere to get some air and think bout things that happened and why it happened.
I'd go talk with her about this and tell her that "i forgive you".
Then I'll sit with my girl, and try to understand why things happened the way it did.
And after hearing her out, if I feel like this relationship is becoming a one side effort, then I'll leave for both our sakes.
And if i feel like she made a mistake and regrets it deeply, and still loves me enough to try again, then i will stay and fight for her. But she has to also regain the truth she lost too.Would just leave her without a word. There is nothing needed to be said or done. It's just a waste of time and energy and does no good.
I really despise cheating, if you want to sleep with others either break up or see if your partner would be down for it.Cheating makes me sick the reason the world why you need to cheat if his problems at home or in the bedroom talk to your partner is there a reason why you need to hurt someone like that you think you're getting away with free ass you're not it was someone gets caught their so sorry no they're just sorry they got caught they weren't sorry the 15 other times I tripped and fell into her crotch the new what the the f*** they were doing while they're doing it the cheating makes me f****** sick cuz it's a lie f****** lie you with them they're thinking of someone else bulshit cuz if I catch you someone's getting punished and it's going to f****** hurt
In the past I had a girlfriend that cheated on me. The moment I found out she was dead to me. I found out she was cheating on me from a friend. The second he told me she was out of my life. I never saw her again, never spoke to her again, no communication at all. She was for all intensive purposes dead to me.
I would be devastated and heart broken.
After almost 30 years together. I might do something real stupid.
That would either put me in prison or dead.
Because I would loose all control of my mind and be totally unrulely
I just know that what would happen.If my partner were to cheat on me I would be mad but I would let my partner explain because i think the best way to be nice to our partner when they did something wrong is by listening to them because ur partner will always have an explanation but I would be mad but like if my partner were to explain I would forgive him but only if I felt that he or she was actually sorry for cheating
I would be disheartened obviously at first then filled with rage Nd den never look back at dem nd will just say few words to dem Nd complete cut off. Travel new place, Detox Nd move on. Find somebody else nd be kinda worried of getting cheated again or not ! ( Will definitely be sad for a whole long period for getting cheated !)
I would end the relationship immediately, and all my respect for her as a human being would disappear. Cheating is unforgivable. Despite the common excuse, it is never a "mistake". Either too much premeditation is required, too little respect and love for the partner exists, or both. You can't "mistakenly" make out, undress, and/or have sex with someone while knowing you're in a relationship with someone else.
I don't know. I built a life on our relationship. It'd probably destroy me.
Um if I had a partner and they cheated on me I'd of course break up with them, get them out of my life, feel like shit for a while and work on accepting that it happened and move on from them. I don't even want an explanation or a 'why did they do it'. There is no excuse for it.
I would be angry, but to some extent I understand there are some reasons for cheating. In the end though I would either try to fulfill her needs (usually when someone cheats they are missing something in the relationship) if I thought it would be worth it, or just leave her.
Well it depends on how much of partners we are.
If we're deep in a loving relationship with many promises and plans then I'd break up because it was all a lie.
But if we both see it as a little more than friends with benefits and we know it won't last so we never made any promises then I could live with it if the sex is good and she actually cuts off the guy she cheated withSometimes, it's better to move away with people who are not trustworthy.
Love or Any relationship depends upon trust and faith, if someone is not able to fulfill then the person is not willing to be in a relationship. It's better to leave such person and move on with the person who is trustworthy and lovable.End of relationship if there's no children involved, If just partnered not married they'd be ghosted, maybe not immediately but at the best time for me, If I'm being relied on for room, food etc I'd walk away - I'd owe her nothing, no explanation, no forwarding address, back up the evidence you've found, explain to friends just before you leave, then kill you social media accounts and phone number, then leave - leaving no trace where you have gone.
When I ghost her I you remove her 'safe harbour', it will be a shock when she suddenly realises she is homeless as I are paying the rent and living expenses, if possible I'd leave just before the rent is due and remove your furniture leaving her belongings behind (if there's doubt about any furniture leave it behind) on the day you leave this might sound petty but it is hammering home the point.It's upto her, I love her and I always will but if she don't want to be together it's fine, also every person want to be satisfy both mentally and physically so maybe it's my fault than I'm not able to fulfill her need.
Also I don't had any girlfriend till now, so I can't say further😁I would need a real talk and understand what happened, why, and what can or cannot change for the future, then decide if the relationship can survive.
I have a very specific definition of cheating though, it is mostly lack of honesty. Being in open relationship, having other partners is not cheating for mePretend i don't know about it, and slowly hurt her every day till she can no longer take it.
Cheat her back if there's an opportunity.I would humiliate them, start being verbally abusive then leave them forever.
But if karma didn't exist I would have slowly hurt them everyday and cheated them back, but if it didn't effected them then I would have gotten him bullied and beaten up.What happens when they cheat n lie when u tell them if they are honest n explain with reason can be forgiven but lie n hide it till I. Found out there will be actions taken out on him resulting from being deceitful, are you aloud to have other ongoing relationships or is it just fucking
