funny how some people took that to mean "how do you stop yourself from cheating" and some took it to mean "how do you stop the other from cheating"

says a little bit about where some people are coming from

I wonder why they call it "cheating"? when it's actually more of a betrayal

Tell your partner....you have a detective friend.

If I am not doing my part in the relationship then why wouldn't he go and get his needs filled some place else

So make sure you are doing your part in the relationship

I believe the old exlax in the cookies works best!!!

How can ya cheat when your pooping all the time????

only within yourself....
it's a little thing called self control...

When it comes to preventin urself from cheatin, it's real simple DON'T!! When it comes to the partner in the relationship. There honestly is no way to prevent it. U can treat them better than anything in the world, give them anything an everything they want. If they are gonna cheat, they are gonna do it no matter what u do. It's how u conduct urself if they do that matters.

I totally disagree with this statement.
If a person is addicted to the thrill of chase, you can try to meet those needs and it will never happen
they can't be sated.

I believe you can not keep someone from cheating. I don't care how good of an person you are. I do believe a person can change if they want to and when he do change he better not come back to me, because in my book it is a little to late.

You still can do your part in the relationship and they will still cheat. Just like some guy have stated in this post, that some women think if they give a man good sex, they think the man is going to stop cheating and he said that is not true.

Is is it even possible?

Yeap
What Im trying to figure out is why do people cheat

can I buy it in the case

Don't be a cheater and hope you don't pick a cheater and that is about the only thing you can do.

Everyone has free will to do what they want to do. You are powerless to stop it by yourself and maybe your better off without them. However if you love the person and are worried about them cheating on you then do the only thing you can do. The thing that most people think is irrelevent in this day and age. The thing that alot of people in the world think is powerless and useless. Pray to God. I assure you that if you are sincere and God knows whether you are or not, that if you pray, he will lead you in the right direction whatever that may be.

Stick to your word. Establish a relationship built upon mutual respect and trust. Beyond that there is nothing you can do. If you have reason to doubt them...you need to ask yourself "How come I am in this relationship?"

If you have to stress about preventing your partner from cheating, then you are probably in the wrong relationship...

I repeat this so often is almost hurts!

People cheat because they are narcissistic, and selfish.

It's an emotional pathology that is within themselves and has no bearing on the person with whom they cheated.

No! It is not possible to prevent someone from cheating.

only play games with no rules. then there can be no cheating.

direct and to the point!I totally agree.
