Relationships: Is cheating forgivable?

[Grei]

Cheating destroys trust, I don't like the idea of cheating.

That's why I'm wary of putting myself into a relationship. I desire too many people to confine myself.

Watered down way of saying "I am a whore"

Hox you missed the obvious.

If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.

Grei shows wisdom in knowing his ...weakness.

Before 100 battles end, the enemy should also know both himself and you.

 

[Malanu]

And thus know whether or not to battle you.

I prefer whore.

But honestly, if someone isn't delivering sexually, I see nothing wrong with finding someone who is. If you are lousy in bed I might cheat on you, and that would not be entirely my fault because I need someone who is good in bed.

So your saying that cheating one somebody just for the sake of being, blech, 'satisfied', is a good enough reason to be forgiven? For goodness' sake, that's not the reason for being in a relationship. You should actually be caring towards one another, not just so you'll be happy with what they did for you in bed.

If someone cheats on you, it's because they don't truly care for you. If they go and perform intercourse with another person just for the sake of being 'pleased', then they have broken their trust with you.

Sure is slut-shaming in here.

It's one thing to want to have no-strings-attached sex, or to find lots of people attractive, or even to sleep around if neither of you have any obligations. It's another to do that while one or both have a significant other.

Sure is ****-shaming in here.

I wasn't aware there was national tramp empowerment movement on the rise. I wonder how the motivational speeches would go.

"I have a dream. I have a dream that one day will be judged on the content of our character, and not the color of our eye shadow..."

Depends on the relationship really. I know a couple of people who have decided to make their relationships "open". so they are committed to one another emotionally but physically they're allowed to "share the love" per se.

In a way, its a good thing, you get to sleep with people you find attractive. but in a way, you have to be very careful.

I think open relationships require even more trust between the two people and also you need to fully understand that there are two types of attraction - physical and emotional, and with the other people you get involved with, you have to keep it strictly physical...it takes a certain type of person to be able to do that. Once emotions get involved, then you know you're cheating.

It's the opposite. Turning the phrase "I like sex" into something semi-tortuous and deep.

 

[Halsey]

I think it is forgivable but that doesnt mean you have to stay with the chick(or a guy in someone else's case)

Oh look, more judgmental ****-shaming. Keep on chuggin', there, bro.

Protip: People are allowed to like sex and sleep around if they want to, and the sex is consensual. In fact, a lot of people do -- what do you think dating sites and Craigslist are for, in part? It's nothing unusual, and it's also not something to insult people for like you're setting a stellar example of.

 

[Owl]

I don't think so.
If you are willing to throw yourself at others then I can't trust you. If I can't trust you, I have no reason to continue being your friend. Let alone continue a relationship.

 

[cookies kill you]

well this is just in my opinion if someone were to cheat on me sure id forgive them maybe but id never be with them again

 

[Syrus]

I'm not actually too sure on this one, I think it would all depend on the individual really. 9 times out of 10 no I don't think I could trust that person but I always at least would give a second chance if only because I'd love them.

If it happens again though I don't think I could tolerate it.

 

[3D992]

Cheating is forgivable... it's just really hard to do... I dout any relationship is the same after cheating takes place...

 

[TrollsterInc]

Depends on the circumstances; we all make mistakes when we've had a lot to drink. But being fully aware of what they are doing, and choosing to screw around with someone else? Sorry, but no, I doubt I could get over that. Because if you are in the position where you will willingly cheat on your partner, whats the point in having one?

 

[Aquadon]

Due to recent events, I'm actually willing to say that cheating actually is very unforgivable, given that a certain trust has been broken, and even when someone tries to ask for forgiveness, there is still a lot of deceit going on that will never fully go away. I'm sorry, but there's a point where it just gets to be too much.

 

[~Ace]

It depends what the situation is, really.

 

[Kaiserin]

Worth noting some people are willing to forgive even severe breaches of trust more willingly and/or more quickly than others, too. So even if they do treat it like crossing the line, it's entirely possible depending on the person that they won't hold a grudge forever.
