What are your views on cheaters? Have you cheated? Been cheated on? Do cheaters deserve a second chance?
 
Cheaters can not be trusted. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I might give the guy a second chance, but not after that.

Well dont agree with people saying Once a cheater, always a cheater

Because you can do it once, and realize your mistake and never do it ever again.
 
I would not want to take that gamble, Nebulous. Some other woman might be brave and open enough to take a cheater back , but not me. I obviously was not satisfying you enough to where you would want to go out and cheat.



Cheaters are just that-cheaters. Some of them naturally fall in love with someone else while imo, the majority have problems communicating with their loved one. It's also kind of like being an escapist depending on the relationship status. If a man is having an affair (cheating) , and he goes to this other woman for comfort and escape from taking care of his children, he is escaping, trying to create a utopia elsewhere.
 
Cheating is an easy way out, and I'm sure we have all cheated in one way or another, but I view cheaters as foolish people who need to get their act straight. You learn from your mistakes, so go ahead and cheat, but when you get caught, you better accept the consequences and learn from your mistakes, by not doing it again, thus facing the consequences.
 
Well Ive never cheated personally but a couple of my friends have cheated on their girls while overly drunk. I know I can control myself while being drunk but some people cannot. It depends on the situation but if the person was truly remorseful and sincerely sorry for what they did, perhaps they vow to never put themselves in a situation where they could get that drunk again, then that shouldn't end a relationship. Especially if there are kids involved. Why break up a family and ruin happy lives just because one partner wasn't so forgiving of a mistake made by someone who deeply regrets it?

If the parent is suffering why should they stay? Everyone gets regretful when they're caught. If the man or woman is more emotionally healthy without the man then it can help them do their jobs better as a parent. Too many people stay for the kids and only create chaos in front of them. Some are better off divorced and the kids would eventually develop an understanding.

Well I know all about that, I am a single parent. Me and my daughter's mom split up when she was one year old though. I felt there was too much negativity going on and if it were to continue, it would ruin her childhood. Me and her mom are good friends now and we have one little happy girl because of it.



Anyways I was only presenting one possible argument. My point was It is possible for cheated on people to get over it, maintain a happy relationship and it does happen.. It just takes a lot of effort and a lot of work for the cheater to build up that trust again. Some people are just too quick to run for the exit door in the relationship instead of trying to work through things.
 
Cheating is not in my vocabulary except in Math, Physics, History & Language class. Relationships should be taken with care and sincerity. I don't believe anyone can fall in love at first sight then leave them after encountering another one, I think it's quite foolish to do things like that. It's better to fall on 1 cliff than to constantly fall in dozens of cliffs at the same time o_o am I correct? XD
 
I was cheated out of a lot of money and he lied about why he needed the money. I may be able to forgive him some day but he will never get a second chance for a friendship.
 
I have suspected someone, it was never proven and our breakup wasnt to do with it, but i still believe that person went behind my back with someone :/ Never spoken to them since

That's why I say that I would probably give a guy a second chance. Everyone can make one mistake, but repeated behavior--I don't think I'd forgive.
 
Sure I'll forgive a cheater.. I just won't be with them. Having self respect and the fact that I had to have an AIDS test because of my unfaithful ex boyfriend is why I would never stay with a cheater. If you were drunk/high etc.. you are just as guilty because you made the choice to put yourself into that situation in the first place. Besides, once you betray my trust, it is gone forever, and you will never be given the opportunity to do it again.
 
Depends on the situation, who that person is, how long you've been together, status, and other factors.
 
I wouldn't dare cheat on a girl, if someone cheated on me, then thats a shame but I know I would never do it, I would have much respect for her, obviously.

I feel the same way.
 
if it was an instance where the person was drunk, it's kind of ok. but if they lie to me about it and someone else tells me, it's bad. if they tell me and don't lie to me, it's fine. as long as they understand that they're not to do it again.
 
One of my friends cheated on his girl and she found out.. She stayed with him but now he says his life is hell. She has turned into a super insecure person who 2nd guess's everything he does and is constantly checking up on him. He said he is thinking about getting rid of her because what she has turned into isnt worth it.



I suppose its understandable.. However if she really accepted his apology and his vow to never do it again, she wouldn't be acting like that.
 
Nope, I do not know anyone who has cheated on there boy/girlfriend either, I bet it is really horrible for anyone who has been cheated on (I feel sorry for you). Why do people find the need to go off and cheat on there partner...
