I wouldn't ever cheat. It's wrong and immoral.

On paper I cheated on almost every girl I have ever dated since I found the next one before cutting it off with the first one. Never said I would date them exclusively so "Cheated" may be an incorrect term. Men and woman arent meant to be with each other for a long period of time anyway. They just get on each others nerves. Trade in rule should be applied every so often.

Why be with someone if you don't want to be with them anymore? What about the married couples who have been happily married for decades? My Grandparents, were married 54 years before my Grandpa passed away. My other sets of grandparents will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this June. My Nana was 18 and my Grandpa was 21 when they got married. They never committed adultery. But of course, they've had their share of complications from time to time, but every marriage goes through rough times. The same goes for relationships too, you make a commitment and you make sacrifices for your significant other because you're in a RELATIONSHIP. Just cheating because you're "tired" of the other person just makes you a weak, dishonest person.

probably fantasizing versus thinking about it is probably more accurate. Wife is disabled, not able/interested in sex. Probably will just stay a fantasy

The statistic that "75% of people cheat" is ridiculous, at least if you're referring to married people. I've never cheated, nor been cheated on. Very few of my married friends cheat either.

I find this remark one of the most obtuse ones ever seen on this Forum:

"Men and woman arent meant to be with each other for a long period of time anyway. They just get on each others nerves."

Moderator cut: No personal attacks, please.

I have never cheated, I was cheated on when I was younger, I "beat" myself up pretty bad over that, it took me awhile to figure out it wasn't me.
It was him.

Many of the complications I see in other peoples relationships are huge to me and I would leave someone over; Addictions, Drug and alcohol, long term pettyness, pent up anger, and cruelty, financial problems that are brought about by one person, Crappy sex that was once great, the list goes on. To me 50%++ of the married population is in this category. It matches up with the current divorce statistics and the significant other population isnt even included! (We could say that 75% of the entire committed population should not be in a long term relationship). Add another 15% for people that just have a mediocre relationship and you can see where I'm getting at. Some of these people endure 20 or 30 years of misery before they escape and realize how bad it was! Many people stay in a bad relationship because they are affraid to be alone...Is that a good enough reason? For some it is and I feal sorry for them. Don't get me wrong if that almost perfect person comes along fine, I would stay forever! Saying you are committed to a crappy relationship for the sake of saying your married is not the way I want to spend my life.

I would rather have 20 SOs(significant others) in my life
time with 6 mo to 2 years of ecstacy in each one instead of settling for the crap that most of the population calls an acceptable relationship.

I'm proud to say that I've never cheated on any woman I was with.

Course, we have to define what "cheating" is exactly.

interesting results. Seems women are the ones doing it and getting caught at it. curious. Seems orientation should also be a variable....
