I'm a 27 year old male. I've cheated on girlfriends and I've had girlfriends cheat on me. It happens I guess. However, I could have sworn that this stuff was suppossed to stop once people got married. I see/hear a lot of husbands and wives who cheat on their spouses out of sheer bordem and because their sex life is dull. Does that make it ok?
Since I am not a married man and am currently single cheating is something that scares me. Within every relationship I have had I have certainly seen my partner as an important role in my life. However, when I walk into the public eye all I do is see cheating going on whether it is a broken wedding vow due to a drunk night or a fresh boyfriend who wants to get another piece of his ex before he commits to someone new.
It seems to me like cheating becomes more acceptable as we grow in age where a long time ago it was taken very seriously. It really does not seem this way anymore. If my spouse or girlfriend did cheat on me, breaking up would seem like the correct solution. However, i am not really 100% sure how most couples handle it. I am wondering when cheating got so accepted in our culture and why people seem to actually be putting up with it in an attempt to stay with someone who obviously does not love them.
Sex is the new handshake IMO. I would be much more willing to forgive a boyfriend who cheated (had sex) versus one who got involved with another women on an emotional level. Just shows how ass backwards thing are.
not everyone cheats, and if sex in a marriage is boring anyone with sense should know that there's a million ways to spice it up.. Cheating is never acceptable at any age.. I've been married over 35 years and it just gets better with age. If you have to worry about a partner cheating, well you're probley better off without. faithfullness, respect and curtesy make for a wonderful long lasting relationship built on trust and that, my friend , is love
I cheat and have been cheated. I think you being scared to get married will go away when you find the right. I've learned that once you leave your baggage in the past, that fear will dissipate and your thoughts of cheating or someone cheating on you will be a mere insecurity.
I'm in this exact position, too. I had an awful track record in relationships. However, i'm involved with someone now (not exclusively) and have no problems with trust.

I repped you...but I want to quote this, just show it shows up again.
I have NEVER EVER cheated. EVER.
I have been cheated on, unfortunately.
I do think it's a character flaw and if things are bad enough that you're willing to secretly seek out another partner, why not just end it with your current partner?
Like Patsy Cline said
'If there's a new love in your heart
Tell me now, get it over
Hurt me now, get it over
If there's a new love in your heart
Don't leave me here in a world
Filled with dreams that might have been
Hurt me now, get it over
I may learn to love again'

Cheating got "so accepted" when character quit being taught and modeled in society.
Here's a thought - buck the trend, be a man of character and behave better.
