Search Results: do most people cheat

I personally would feel very guilty with moving on. What if there is an afterlife and they are waiting for you? And even if they are gone forever, dating somebody else is essentially replacing them unless you view it in a polyamorous sort of sense.

I think the purest form of love should have permanence to it and be sacrificial but most people don't agree with me on this.

Is your lover just a convenience for you that is discarded when they die? What's up with this? It's not like you replace your mom when she dies..

People cheat. Sometimes people cheat on good people for almost no reason. Most people will bend the internal morality of their actions around their wants and desires. People will swear on their grandmothers grave they’d never sleep with somebody after meeting them once, and then shock themselves by sleeping with THAT person when they eventually encounter them.

Love is essentially transactional, not just monetarily but emotionally and physically. Sometimes people just don’t want to be with you any more. Looks are a MASSIVE part of attraction. Comfort kills attraction. Your partner is not yours, it’s just your turn.(MOST relationships will end sooner or later). Most people believe they’re more righteous and principled than they are. Morality has nothing to do with arousal. Both genders are struggling to find fulfilling partners because one side has grown weak and one side is now free to select for what they want which is the best of the best. Certain immutable traits are key. Most relationships after a couple of years are routine and not sexually fulfilling. People are nowhere near as unique in their behaviour as they think they are.

Is everyone out there trying to use, break hearts and cheat? NO. Most human beings are very much looking and trying consciously to attain and build the perfect, unconditional, long lasting loving relationship. That’s their conscious motive. But life is life and it truly hits people harder and at weirder angles than they could possibly have anticipated. Good sweet innocent people surprise themselves. The righteous fall. Most are not as strong or as selfless as they think. Those who believe they deserve the world can only actually attain very little. There is no such THING as deserve, there is, isn’t, won’t, will and can and can’t.

To simply DENY all this stuff is a product of either lack of exposure or choosing to deny. Which is fine.

Many users post questions asking "why is it so difficult to find a partner who is loyal?" I think that most people are loyal and cheaters are a minority, but maybe I'm wrong. (I've never cheated but I don't think that makes me an exceptional person.)

So I'm asking a simple question: Have you ever cheated on a partner by engaging in some form of sexual behavior (like fondling, passionate kissing, or something more) with someone other than your partner? This question assumes that you either had an explicit agreement to be monogamous or you knew that your partner expected you to be monogamous. I'm not asking if they cheated on you; I'm asking if you cheated.
