What do you mean "learn the hard way"......if she gets dumped, ignored, or treated like dirt then that is what I call being learned the hard way.

Nobody is beyond learning, but she is learning what I consider a bad "habit". She has learned that she can "have her cake and eat it to", or to be more direct, she can bang larry and still have steve on the off days. Steve hasn't "punished" her for wrong behavior.

This isn't direct, but your smart enough to get the point. Your dog jumps up on you, and you do nothing about it. You get scratched and so does company when they come by because the dog thinks it is ok to jump up on you.
What you should do is everytime he jumps up on you, which is bad, you push him down and say "NO, BAD DOG!!!". In time the dog will know NOT to do that as it is not acceptable behavior.

Alison needs pushed down and told "NO, BAD DOG!!!".

Hey, I don't have a prob w/Art. He makes me think about what I said and holds me accountable for my reasoning. I respect that.

Is there a problem w/learning the hard way? LEARNING, is the key word.

"Do it once, you were ignorant; do it twice, your stupid." If there is recourse on your "wrong" actions. If you get away w/it, you'll keep doing it.

The OP is not unique. I, along with countless of other men, have experienced the same. It really angers me when people 'don't know' why they cheat or do things which they KNOW is wrong and hurts the other person.

As cruel as it sounds, the first thought that came to mind is that women like the OP should have their vaginas sown shut and thrown in a ditch to be forgotten. (Unfortunately, there are so many women like the OP. There probably wouldn't be enough ditches to leave all these crazy broads behind in a deserted town to fend and suffer on their own).

No, I'm saying that I've experienced what the OP has done to her boyfriend (being with a cheating girlfriend, etc.)

And, no, leaving someone in a ditch to fend for themselves isn't harsh. It's nothing compared to her habitual cheating.

I (luckily) have not been cheated on (that I know of) and I have never cheated, even when the guy I was dating was not of interest of me anymore. To me there is only one, whether I am happy or not. I do not need to amass large quantities of suitors in order to validate my existance.

I feel lucky that I found the love of my life and he shares the same moral values as I do. I would never compromise the relationship that I have with my husband. I gave up quite a few of my close friends who happened to be males, because I did not want to put myself in any position where there would be any temptation to hurt the person I love more than I could ever love another.

It is never worth it to cheat. I don't know from first hand experience, but I've seen it happen often enough and I would never wish to experience cheating or being cheated on.
