I think there is a lot of truth in that saying.
I have known some friends that had continually cheated on their
partners,though some have paid the ultimate price (the women they loved
eventually found out about the affair)and of cause they dumped them.
Hard to support friends in that situation(they got what they asked for).
Some of these friends are now married and I think they have matured,
but you never no for sure whether they will go back to their old ways.

This has been discussed ad nauseum, and no, it's not always true - it's just a cliche:

I also think it is a cliche. But it depends on age and circumstances. A girl/guy in HS is alot different than a 30yr old that has been married for 8yrs.

This is the most obsured generalization out there.......sure it could be true but lots of times it's not......the answer is as unique as the individual it's pertaining to.

As far as I'm concerend...yes...but then I can't really be certain. You see...I'd never give em a second chance. They'd be gone after the first time with no second chance.

I wouldn't say it is 100% true. But I think the odds of someone cheating multiple times on their partner are on the high side unfortunately.

For some people, yes it is true. There are people out there (men and women) who are not mature enough or emotionally balanced enough to stay true to anyone. And then there are the other group who find themselves in situations that ultimately leads to an affair.

Case in point...A women (who I know) had been faithfully married for 8 years. Her husband had been emotionally unavailable for most of those years. They had a quick courtship in which he was wonderful but after the wedding things changed. After the first child, he wanted to be out with the guys all the time, never helped at home, got himself involved in illegal drugs. She asked to go to counceling. He said no. She asked his family for help, and his friends. No help was offered. She begged, cried, pleaded for him to get help. Nothing. Finally, she asked for a divorce. He said, "you live your life and I will live mine." She got a job. She made new friends. She eventually, and without looking, met someone. Someone who became a friend and eventually more. She stayed married for another 2 years and then finally found the strength to leave. She married the "other man" a few years later and has been happily and faithfully married for over 10 now.

There is no mold and no statement that can be true for everyone.
