we cheat b/c theres no more sexual attention with our gf's..........


Or BF's.......

I have been seeing a guy for 5 months. We were getting along great going out 2 or 3 times a week spending weekends together blah blah

over the last few weeks we have not seen each other at all only email and phone calls. I have invited him several times and he says too busy. So if I find someone else and go out with him instead...is that cheating?



Are you dating exclusively? If so, just finding someone else instead would be cheating. If you're not happy, why stay with him? Your best bet is to break it off before going out with someone else.

Just wondering why do people cheat when usually they have another half at times?


I don't know why everyone cheats as each has his or her own reason. It is wrong in my eyes but I am not in the person's shoes. My best friend cheats on his wife. He is in a loveless marriage and his wife told him if he divorces her; she would take him to the cleaners. He has asked his wife on several occassions to go to counseling but she refuses to do it. So, he is now cheating on her as she is truly giving nothing to the relationship. It is a very sad situation actually.


Does she cheat on him? Cause then, basically, they would have an open marriage...a sad one, but an open one nevertheless. Anyways, what you posted here does illustrate a point to the whole "Why do people cheat?" question. Simpy put, there is not one, firm solid answer as to why it happens.

Singmesweet brought up excuses, and she is right. All the reasons that are given for cheating are just that...excuses. However, to elaboarate more on this, people bring justification to these excuses. My partner was not having sex with me. We fight alot and don't get along anymore. They are always working and never around. I'm bored with him/her but I don't wanna leave them either, so instead I just did it. These are just some excuses here, but my point is that people justify them.

In my opinion, there is no justification for cheating. I don't think people even justify their excuses. They try, but it just doesn't work.

True. There is no justification for cheating. Still, that doesn't stop people from doing there best to justify it. In there mind, they believe that there is a form a justification to the act of cheating. Think about it. Ever seen in movies, or tv shows, or read in books how when one person cheats a common response is, "I am sorry. It just happened. I felt ignored. He/she showed me attention. It just happened"? Yeah, it's lame, but when you look at it, they are trying to justify why they did what they did. That's all I'm saying.

Right, I'm agreeing with you. They're trying to justify cheating. That doesn't mean their actions are actually justified.

To my knowledge; she is not cheating on him but however there is not intamacy between them; just more of a room mate friendship. You are correct in saying there are different reasons people cheat. There is not a clear cut answer to why. I personally would never cheat but have learned not to judge others that do.

my Ex-wife told me it was because she was bored in our relationship. I think it was because she needed a reason to break it off after 8 years.

SingMeSweet, if you're not going to bother being opened minded about peoples opinions... (Yup My opinion is MY fact)
Why would you bother always questioning me or them about what they wrote? Is you brain always on auto malicious search?

I've experienced this from you before... I Won't let it happen again

Exxman, I'm not sure what your issue with me is, but that was a post from days ago. It's almost as if you're looking for posts from people who disagree with me. No need to try and start any new arguments, though. Have a nice day.

People cheat cause they are allowed to. Panzy @ssed people who think that they won't be loved again hold on tights to the life lines on a sinking ship and forgive those who do them wrong.

Blame the cheaters. But, the people who get done dirty then forgive and try to "Work it out" are just as much a part of the problem. Cheaters suck. The idiots who give the cheaters the benefit of the doubt got no one to blame but themselves.

Get to the quick!

People cheat because they're losers. They don't have a backbone in their body.
Cheaters are liars, sneaks and cowards. They tend to be self centered in almost every aspect of their lives and within their own little pee sized brains their sense of reasoning is soley ego centered and focused.

Cheaters have no self esteem and are constantly looking for that 'quick fix' to every problem in their lives.

That goes for men and women alike

my .02cents on the matter.
