Can a man cheat on a woman and still be in love with her at the same time?

Question

Or is love and loyalty synomonous with one other?

No because he doesn’t really love her if he cheated on her , he doesn’t care about her he only cares about himself , when someone is in love with someone they don’t cheat on them bottom line , Cheating is a selfish decision , meaning they only think of themselves, and they like the convenience of the person they cheated on, The best thing to do if someone cheats on you is to dump them and move on , make the cheater realize what they did was wrong and hopefully teach them a lesson that might help them never cheat on someone again , usually people that take cheaters back into their lives will end up cheating on them to get revenge , so 2 wrongs don’t make a right , Value yourself worth and realize you deserve someone that will value you like you value
Them , someone that will stay faithful to only you , never settle For someone that just likes the convenience of you

Of course, and anyone who sturdily thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.

Love has nothing to do with exclusivity. It has to do with loyalty and respect.

Loyalty in upholding eachother interests and respect for who the partner sees themself. Love is a giving thing. We think too much about receiving love.

If it's in your interest to be exclusive to eachother, if that's necessary to your happiness, that's fine. But your partner needs to respect that. Just because hi can have sex and not feel anything for the other woman, he is still betraying her trust.

So I would say it depends on your definition of love and who's lens you decide to view the situation from.

No,

if you truly loved someone why would you jeopardize your relationship with them? How could you cause so much pain to someone that you’re supposedly “in love” with? I think a guy can love a girl, but one that is in love with her would never purposely ruin their relationship/trust.

Unfortunately, yes. You can love someone and also be selfish, or have bad impulse control. But that doesn't make it forgivable. It just means it's not always a lie when he says 'but I still love you!'

Yes of course he can. It may sound hard to believe as you view things from a female’s perspective. But one thing w most men is we can have sex w a female w out attaching emotions to it. Some women can do the same but for a lot of us men we can phuk w out getting involved emotionally. Women tend to need to be emotionally involved before having sex w a man. Not all, but most. But this is something you will never fill understand u less you could be a man for a day. It’s purely lust. Like w my girl I see so many women I’d love to just plow. But w her there’s more invested not just physically but emotionally. The way I kiss her deeply, holding onto her tightly as she gives herself completely to me. W a girl who I’d love to just fuck, it would just be purely physical. I’d be more about myself.

Is not in Love with her! Them "feelings" are out the window, and all it is ITS BEING USED, around that person. Its like a friends with benefits situation, or just fuk buddies, but Love and Romance its GONE!. Once the Chemistry, Vows, Loyality is GONE!, then is Gone! And in case BREAKUP, comes along then, they start crying that they "love you, and can't live without you", but is not that. All there is "they will lose the closest person that they can CONTROL".

glennos89 · Answer

Love and lust are 2 separate things. That you love a woman doesn't mean you aren't attracted to other woman sometimes and viceversa

I believe that we aren't suppose to stick our entire life to the same person naturally. I think this whole lifetime relationship idea has been invented in the past by someone and became the new unnatural standard for everyone simply because they teached us this way of life from childhood on

sidhagain · Answer

Not sure if this is going to be a very unpopular opinion, but i think YES

love is more of an emotional connect and much different from physical attraction. To live you don't just like the person's body or face but indeed the entire personality and the soul

That said, while a person really loves someone, there could be cheating episode in a guest of lust or because of anything else but he can still be emotionally connected to the other person

KarinMcDonald · Answer

My own opinion is that if a man cheats on his woman, he is not in love with her. Now on the other hand, I truly believe that a woman can have sex with other men, and still love her husband.

slatyb · Answer

"Be in love with her?" WTF does that mean? The only that matters is his behavior, and cheating is not loving.

2488DW · Answer

Yes a man can love one lady and have a sexual relationship with others. The dynamics often change in long term relationships and the sexual element can sadly dwindle. In such cases either parties can look for fulfilment elsewhere. If its done openly that's better, if its done deceitfully its likely to cause problems re trust etc. This is why more older people swing or hotwife/cuckold. In cases where this is done openly and with consent the love/bond element of a relationship can grow stronger

Havthrills · Answer

Very good question. I want to see the answers. Mine is no, but never done it to find out. Does this count for open relationships? Does it also count for the woman? I have heard of it happening but never experienced it myself.

YoHoeRose · Answer

Cheating means you're not in love. You can't love someone and see someone else that way

Kerrim23 · Answer

Yes he can still have love for her, but he isn't actually in love with her. More like he loves the idea of being with her.

bubblegunnn · Answer

Yes i believe so. Like maybe when he was bored of her.. and have a fight her. But deep down he still love her..

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

No. If he knows she's against the idea of an open relationship and he still does it, there's no love.

Nikki1989 · Answer

No. People in love don't cheat on each other.

VikingWarLord · Answer

Ya I've swung dating multiple chics at a time before.  the opposite isn't true for women though. She typically only can handle feelings for ONE DUDE at a time

clampfan101 · Answer

I want to say yes, giving the benefit of the doubt that it could simply have been a mistake, but that kind of mistake is absolutely not to be taken lightly.

AviatorTom · Answer

Excellent question. My opinion is Yes. Cheating could be a momentary lapse in judgment.

Rockstarrrrr · Answer

You can like two people at the same time... But you can't love two people at the same time... Love is a big word...

Andrew2128 · Answer

Well yes he can but why would anybody cheat on somebody as beautiful as you unless you wasn't giving him what he needed in the first place

Twalli · Answer

Not cheating is more of a sign of respect than love, so it's possible to cheat and still love the person you cheated on. You don't respect them anymore though.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes he can be a cheater also this could mean he doesn't know who he wants to be with

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I would say "yes," but at the end of the day it boils down to respect.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

A man who truly loves you can never cheat on you, by the way why woukd he cheat on you? Don't you have all the package that other female has?

AsaKyo · Answer

No, if someone fucks someone else, they don't love the person they're with at all

Elter · Answer

Ofc, do I think it's scummy? Yes.  But several people have loving but also non-exclusive relationships. in my opinion, love and monogamy are not synonymous.

Anonymous · Answer

99% of the time, men have sex because new vagina is offered and it has nothing to do with how they feel about their current partner.

Anonymous · Answer

I think it depends on the cheat. I think if it is to the point of touching the side chick like hugging, then it's proof. Sex however, you can't get any more sure than that.

maximumpower · Answer

Sure. She's obviously not providing something he wants, tho.

Neilbud · Answer

Sadly no. You can love someone and do stupid things. Loyalty is rare.

Anonymous · Answer

Those who cheat on the ones they love, obviously dont love them enough to keep faithful. They are selfish dominators who just hate getting caught.

Dreamclouds · Answer

Yes, pretty much, sometimes men are lead by stupidity and their dick, they regret it later
