Have you ever had the temptation to cheat?

Question

I’m talking specifically of monogamous relationships. I’m willing to bet 90% of people have at least been tempted to sleep with someone else.

Vanidal · Accepted Answer

Not always about sleeping with someone else for me. Being intimate as in cuddly or having a blast from doing activities together. I like to 'cheat' that way. I'll be honest, cheating boosts my self-confidence. And the bond I get with the person I'm cheating with also please me differently from the bond I have with my actual SO. Well, it was. It's about 10 years ago the last time I cheated on someone. It's tempting. But it's not sustainable for me. Takes too much time. And gives problems between me and my SO.

Yes, of course I've been tempted. Did I give in to the temptation? No. Was it easy to resist? Sometimes, and a few times, it was quite difficult, but I still resisted.

While you can go out of your way not to put yourself around temptation, you can't completely insulate yourself from it, so at some point, you're likely to have to confront it directly.

No cheating is for pussies. You really gonna hide stuff from your girl cause you are afraid? Thats PUSSY! And I'm not a lesbian. Plus cheating is so disgusting I'd rather hang myself.. If I dated a guy who was honest and told me he wanted a threesome or have fun with some girl thats fine. I dont care as long as its just sex but hiding it is wack. And I make sure he would have his penis removed if he did. But I always warn men about that in relationships. Only been in one serious so far.

No, I've never felt tempted to cheat. I'm either all in or all out, if I really love someone, others are just not interesting to me on that level at all.

Bexxiib · Answer

While I was with my exes, although I still had those normal crushes I have never once felt the temptation to cheat on them.
My first would always accuse me of cheating, and not only would he accuse me of cheating on him with friends we knew he would accuse me of cheating on him with other celebrities and pretty much said I was not allowed to have a celebrity crush because it’s cheating. I was like “WTF dude? A celebrity crush is not considered cheating, it just means you really like that celebrity.” And he still proceeded to tell me I wasn’t allowed so I told him straight “Fine, I’ll go and find this celebrity and date him instead, he’ll be much better than you!”
So even though I’ve never cheated I was always accused by my first ex for cheating on him.
My second, I have never ever cheated on him, 6 years ago we broke up because I was moving anyway, but also because my friend had feelings for him and come to find out they started dating the same day we broke up. I was hurt, and 6 years later he asked me “Is it true that you were sending nude pictures to a random guy while we were dating.” And I told him “I would never ever do such a thing, and if I was to I would never do that while dating him.” He didn’t believe me because apparently so many people are telling him I was cheating but I wasn’t, my old college was full of drama, people would make up something about someone that’s not even true. I’ve had my fair share, though I don’t know why they’d make up shit when I don’t live there anymore.
Sorry for the details, thought I’d share a personal experience!!

If you're talking strictly sex, no. Cheating, from my experience, is seldom just a random hot fling. People who do that while in a committed relationship are just stupid and have no self control.

Cheating - as in falling in love with someone else, is far more complicated and the lines are much blurrier.

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

I see you believe that anyone who finds someone attractive that is not a part of their relationship, engagement or marriage is a cheater. That way of thinking is ridiculous. Not everyone who finds some attractive that is not the person they are with are going to emotionally and or physically try to get with the other person.

Anonymous · Answer

All the time because sex with my boyfriend is bad.

RedStiletto88 · Answer

I’ve been tempted but no I’ve never cheated. So I broke up with the guy I was dating and started dating the other one as he was more fun to be with.

MoniqueTLC · Answer

Humans are naturally attracted to more than one person. It's whether you're committed or not to your partner that will determine whether they'll cheat or not. And of course, so much more

DaveJord · Answer

Totally and I had several opportunities to cheat on my ex-wife and I didn't. But in retrospect I wish I had, because they were some sexy women... and ex-wife turned out to be slut and very toxic person.

AviatorTom · Answer

I agree. Just about everyone has been attracted to someone else st some time. The key difference in a committed relationship is that you may be tempted, but you don't do anything about it.

Nikki1989 · Answer

People are either cheaters, or have thought about cheating at some point in their lives.

yucel_eden · Answer

Everyone is tempted at one point, but it’s your character and respect that determines if you cheat or not
