But i do believe in the never say never theory. Also i do believe once doesnt make you a cheater. I mean look at other aspects of life. You steal one time does that make you a theft? Should you never be trusted again because you lied one time. We all have did things that are deemed as not morally/ or even legally right. Should ppl have to live with that stigma forever?
Add to that i think it varies if you went into a relationship, with the sole intentions of not being faithful, or had a preconcieved notion that you chouldnt be faithful vs. "being caught in a moment" or doing something thats out of your character.
I didnt grow up, or have the mindset that i would kill ppl. But because of my previous military background i did. I dont have the mindset that yes i will go rob/steal etc.. But its hard to say what I would do if me and my family was in a compromising position and my kids was starving, and the only foreseeable option was to steal/sell drugs etc. No im not saying the desire to cheat is in the same realm as providing feeding your family. But what i am saying is ppl dont know what they are capable of doing/not doing until they are placed in that position.
I get what you mean. I see your point. But then again, like I said, because of how dearly I hold my man and relationships as serious business, I can't do it. I just can't see myself doing it. When I was with my ex, even at worst times, never looked at another man in a more than a friendly way. I could not even imagine being with or sharing the affection I had with him with anyone else. I am the type of girl, for my man, I will put him before me that I don't even think of what I want selfishly. I went back and forth for this man and supported him at his lowest point and took his burden when he was fighting his demons. All the while he sucked me in and took me down with him. Never EVER did disloyalty or getting with another man cross my mind. He knew that and took advantage of it. Like I said, it all comes down to your moral character as a person.
My best friend, her man went to jail for a year. She came out,partied with us and was never EVER disloyal. She said it's hard, especially when fine men would throw themselves at her. But, she always said she was better than that and had better moral values than to cheat. Trust me, if you conquer your desires, you can be able to not cheat. When people cheat, they make a CHOICE to cheat. All you have to do is withold those moral values and avoid temptation. It is called self-control which you have the willpower to use.
If someone cheats once, doesn't mean they will do it again. But, it says something about their character and that they have a probabibility of doing it again if given another circumstance due to their weaknesses and desires.
Not neccesarily, like i said i have killed before, which i think is a little more dramtics and drastic thn lets say cheating on someone. I dont plan or feel like i will kill again. But the possibility is there. I dont have a mindset of yea imma go out and kill someone again someday. Just like i have drove drunk before, i havent again and dont plan on it. I have lied/stole/sold before i dont plan or see myself engaging in these acts in the forseeable future. I mean i guess one I dont see cheating as a really big deal, i mean it is major but not a life threating tragedy like some ppl hold it in regards as. But i guess i just believe in ppl and really dont condemn ppl for a single isolated incident. Its like if someone stole from me or lied to me once, depend on the intent, etc alot of factors i may dislike what they done, and they may have a long road ahead to regain my trust. I wouldnt necessarily write them off in my life indefinitely.
