Can you truly love someone and still cheat on them, or was it never real?

My aim on GAG is to decode messy love stuff so you don’t lose your mind over someone else’s chaos 😏

Yes, you can love someone and still cheat… but it’s damaged, selfish love. Cheating is a massive red flag in emotional maturity, not always in feelings. Real love requires loyalty, self-control, and honesty. If they cheat, their love might be real, but it’s definitely not healthy or safe for you.

Cheating rarely has anything to do with love or lack of love. Cheating is often the result of opportunity, maybe in a moment of weakness that the cheater later realizes was a mistake.

I have never cheated, but I've been in several situations where I could have. She was hot and willing, but I was married and respected that. It was an internal struggle though. Part of me wanted to cheat.

[Chazmatazz269]

Absolutely not, cheating and love are mutually exclusive 100% of the time.

Most people have mommy and daddy issues so yes, for the most part. ㅤ

I’m not justifying it but yes I think you can. At least for men in most situations. I’ll explain. For most men, we can separate that emotional part of having feelings for a female when it comes to sex. It’s usually never about feelings for the man, it’s about variety, something different among many other reasons. She could disappear and we’d never think of her again if it was purely sexual. On the other hand most women need to be emotionally invested in a man before having sex w him. So if she steps out on her relationship having sex w someone else, she’s more than likely checked out emotionally w her current man to which she has an emotional attachment to the other man. Not only that yes there are some women who can have sex w men w no emotional attachment, but they almost always have issues that keeps them from actually having a real relationship later in life.

Well, some men will cheat anyway if a woman is all over them. They are weak.

However, people who are truly in love rarely cheat on each other. If cheating takes place, there is something seriously wrong with the relationship.

[TonyMetal___1986]

Some people can love and cheat at the same time, how? Because they can't get enough sex from one woman but at the same time cannot love all the women whom they had sex with!

Personally when i love someone, i never cheat cause one woman is more than enough for me!

If you truly love someone, you truly love someone. As for cheating if you are in an open relationship that might be the only exclusion & in that case you can fuck who you want & they can fuck who they want.

[PeachyPie93]

I see it as you can care about someone and cheat on them but you don't love them. Love is deeper and most people don't want to hurt someone they love..

[exitseven]

I think tnhat some people can think that they really love somebody and still cheat on them but it is not real love. Real love is being genuine.

[Agape93]

Nope. You can't love someone and choose to fundamentally break their trust and put their health at risk.

[lilBigPotato]

It might have been real at some point but if you're cheating it isn't at that point.

[NathanDavis]

no

"true love" has nothing to do with cheating

[FunkyMonkee]

Most likely, it's more of a friendly love and they never really, honestly loved you with all their heart.

[DryGermanGuy]

Teenagers with too much hormones, maybe? 🤔

You should watch Woody Allen movies if you're going to keep asking these cheating questions and not listen to anyone's answers.

[Anonymous]

Nope. It was never real.

Now THEY might be stupid enough to believe they're in love. But that just goes to show you how toxic they are.

[MrChinaski]

Yes, they are two different things.

[Alex-Snow]

I'm sure it happens but it would not be for me

[Anonymous]

I don't think I could.

[theskyrider]

You can never cheat if there's love

[MasterKS]

cheating is more links to sex than love.

[whosnumber_1]

Yes it is possible

[Anonymous]

Never real
