One can cheat under a spell, lack of self control and self confidence (lack of will power)Sincerely speaking cheating is, having no regard for your partner and shouldn't part of life.(more on that later)

To me, if a partner cheats, the partner does NOT love you. Period!! Cheating means that you want to be with someone else and that you do not care about your partner's feelings at all. I agree that cheating is the killer of love.
Although I have no proof of my fiancee ever cheating on me, I have always been very suspicious by the way I have felt the way she is acting. I know that she loves me so very much and she makes me the most blissful person in the world. She had told me few times that she would never cheat on me and I trust and believe her.
The reason I feel this way is due to my ex who cheated on me with her first "true love." I have never forgiven my ex for cheating on me at all. She also made me very jealous when she said that she loved my so-called friend who said he loved her. They claimed that they saw and slept with each other, making me even more furious and very hurt. I even told her that I was very hurt, but she did not care. At the time and I still believe this, I thought and still think the reason she cheated on me was that she said she was raped by her uncle when she was fifteen years old.
As for my fiancee, she is by far the best lover I have ever had and I cannot ask for a better lover than she is. I really need to stop thinking that she is cheating on me when I know deep down in my heart that she is not cheating on me.
So, to answer the question, the answer is no. Once a cheater cheats, one is a cheater and has no love for the partner at all. Cheating means not loving your partner.

reader, anonymous, writes (26 April 2010): It is fairly difficult when it comes to the situation of cheating. Many will say that nobody should ever cheat on them, because of the fact that NONE OF US WANT TO BE CHEATED ON! But in reality, it happens... quite alot actually. Most of us try to be naive about it, and try to avoid the reality of if it might happen to them, and try to live in this dream that the person that they'll be with will never do anything to them, but sadly, things do happen.
I've read a lot where people will say that once a person cheat, that they should just quit the relationship, and move on. Firstly, we must look at the reasons of WHY they cheated. As one stated earlier, sometimes we feel as though things are going along too smoothly... shouldn't there be problems or anything to a relationship? And sometime, we feel like we aren't getting enough from a relationship, that the other person isn't doing enough for us, and should do more...
But the reality of it all is that a relationship can be ANYTHING you make out of it. A lot of people like to have the perceive notion that a relationship is a set standard, as if it goes from point A to point B, and I struggle with this alot. But the reality is that a relationship can go any way, but the thing you have to realize is that it's up to you on what you want to accept and what you don't want to.
You ultimately make the decision on what you want, whether u want to stay with the girl/guy, and how long u want to be with them for. Also, you have to realize urself if the problem keeps on consisting between many people, if it isn't just them that aren't making the expectation you set, but you yourself, because if you make an expectation that no one can reach, then how do you expect to find anyone yourself.
Now this situation, it really is up to you on what you want. Sometimes you have to think of more then yourself on how the situation will affect everyone besides you, if you should choose to end things with the cheater. Also, try to talk to them about why they did it, avoiding all sorts of accuations, because that will only make things worse...
but I make it sound easier then it really is, as I have been in a situation where I met a girl online, and went to meet her (I lived in sacramento while she lived in LA, an 8 hr drive) and when I got there, we met for a day, and the next day, not only did she not want to meet me anymore, but had told me that she had gotten with someone else...
took awhile to get over that, but eventually stuff like that makes you stronger, and any other sorts of rejection feel like paperweight compared to that situation... it's just about growing and becomming smarter to where small things like rejection begin to affect you less.

reader, Kirstie-Blondie +, writes (17 May 2009):
It is one of the most difficult questions to answer, and my answer will probably appear very mixed up and contradictory. But i'm saying this from my own experience from my boyfriend of 15months.
Since around 4 months ago, me and my boyfriends relationship deteriorated slightly, many arguments came and he felt it was me causing all the arguments, when really, its him. He has a slight anger problem, and he can never see his own faults. I want to start by saying, i really feel that I do love him so much, even though there are so many flaws in our relationship, and many people often ask why do I stay with him, or why are we even together when a lot of the time we are arguing. I cant myself work out whether I really do love him for him, or whether I'm hanging on to somthing scared nobody will ever love me the way he does again, as he is my first serious relationship which the words "i love you" have been used.
When we are good, we are really good and we have such a good connection, however, when it goes bad, its terrible.
I have cheated on him in the past 4 months with 6 different people, ranging from a kiss to sleeping with someone. It is completely out of my character, and when I talked to my sister about it, she said she thinks I am trying to make myself feel better, as he does treat me quite bad sometimes. I know for a fact if me and him were happy most of the time and got out of this dark period, I would not feel the need to cheat on him at all. In a way I feel I am doing it to bring back my self confidence, and when I have the attention of another guy, my boyfriend isnt on my mind and I feel better about the situation.
I also feel he may be cheating on me, although there isn't any evidence, just in the past 2 weeks, I feel he has been acting out of character, acting really happy for no reason, he has had a new job for the past 2 months, which I got for him... and there is a girl who works there, the same age as him. and I know hes not used to getting any other female attention, and although I know nothing about this girl, I just have a really horrible feeling that there is something going on. Maybe its me being paranoid because of all the bad things I've done? But im not oblivious to the fact that he is acting off with me, and treating me like he doesnt care anymore.
All i ideally want is for me and him to get back to the love and happiness we had before this period, I dont want to cheat on him, but when he treats me like this, I find myself looking for others to comfort me.
Relationships are based on honesty and trust, and after countless talks with him about how we can be happy, and me trying to say to him maybe its not just me that has issues its him, he cant face the fact and it just causes more arguments.
I know i love him a lot, and I really dont want to lose him, I just wish things were different. I cant console what I have done, and I do feel bad after I do it, and when we are happy I could just break down in tears about what I have done, I have no feelings for these guys, and I'd hope he wouldnt cheat on me, however hypocritical it sounds.
He isnt bad all of the time, Although he is very jealous and protective over me, I kind of liek it because it shows he does care, I just wish it was all of the time, to me its the little things that mean the most.

reader, anonymous, writes (3 March 2009): I've been with my fiancée for ten years. Last yr I found out accidentally that he'd been trawling myspace using his profile as a sound engineer to attract female singers. I also found he'd signed up to loads of dating sites with headlines like 'are you bored...want an affair'. He had cybersex with girls (forgive my 'ignorance' but I didn't know you could do that!) and had sex with a singer at work who was a part time lap dancer and had a live web cam - he then came home, sat in front of the computer which was in our bedroom and watched her perform for him. All this went on for three years without me suspecting a thing. I can honestly say I trusted him with my life. I was having fertility treatment which he was excited about as he desperately wanted a family. There was obviously no conscience. He hid it well even giving himself another name of jack and using his best friends address. The level of deceit was astonishing. During these three years he lost his job and I supported him for eighteen months. I remember him saying to me that we'd been together for seven years and he was the man I should trust and spend my life with - in the same month as he'd been with the lapdancer. I caught him by finding a string of emails where he had been bragging to a friend and saying they could share the lapdancer. He sent this on Christmas eve having spent what I thought was a beautiful day together. I was blissfully unaware of the level of his deceit. He has spent the past year begging my forgiveness and telling me he has always loved me and is desperately sorry. He has gone to church, given up alcohol completely, cleaned my house every week, cooked for me every night (I wasn't eating), I come home and there are candles lit and fresh flowers and he just looks so sorry and sad. He has written me long letters and sweet cards - I can see he is trying to win my heart back but I feel totally empty and I just wish he'd go away. I think he does love me but I cannot get over what he has done. Its very very sad and such a waste of time and a waste of what was once so beautiful. I had boundless love for him but it has gone now. Just empty. My view is that if you love your partner don't do anything to jeopardize that because pure love doesn't come along very often. Hold onto it and do everything to nurture it. Cheating is a killer of love.

Don't go having sex with another man,you know how devistated and destroyed he will be because you wanted some little fun? Cheaters deserve no repsect and are the lower then animals.I love my woman to death,if there was a magic button I could press to take all her pain and put it on me I would.I am completly crazy about this woman,but if she ever cheated on me I would be devistated,violated,disrespected,so so so disturbed with the images in my mind,etc. I would drop her like a fucking hat,throw all her things out of the house,and divorce her the same exact day no questions asked.If she cried her eyes out while doing a headstand 360,I woulden't forgive her.Cheaters don't deserve forgivness,cheaters don't deserve anyone but another cheater just like them. Why would I do this,well I could never remove the pain from my heart,images from my mind etc.Second I could never trust her again.And third she woulden't cheat on me if she loved me,bye bye. Don't listen to these fucking idiots saying they love their spouses yet cheat on them,bull shit.If you love your man or woman,stay with them and be loyal. Love can be the greatest thing that has happend to you,or it can be the worse. And again to the cheaters,male or female,you are worse then pigs. Merci ah revoir tout le monde.

(6hrs one week 12hrs the next) then i moved back to my parents house and we didnt see eachother for 3 months and on new years day he had a drunken one night stand with some ugly fat girl. then he got on a plane 4 days later and came to visit me for 10 days. 3 weeks later i got a phone call from a mutual friend telling me what happened. my whole world fell apart that day. its been 3 months since i found out and we've finally decided to take a break and just be friends. he is really sorry and he has worked really hard to show me that he's changed but i just cant get over what happened no matter what. i want to. he's deploying to iraq in september and comes back april next year. so we'll see how our feelings are for eachother when he comes back and we'll take it from there. i dont believe he loved me before. he wouldnt have cheated.

And what is it happens frequently with their ex? Does that mean they still have an emotional connection or just want sex from them (but why not just go to someone new) and why stay with the current partner?

I have been with my boyfriend on and off for the past 15 months. However, he's currently in a different city for school. Recently, we had been talking about trying the long distance thing again. We looked at flights to figure out when we could see one another etc. This weekend he informed me that he had slept with two girls, one night after the other. He swears it was a mistake, that he loves me and wants to be with me, and that he never would have done it if he was sober. I feel hurt and don't understand how he could have slept with them if he did indeed love me. I know that we weren't technically going out at the time, but in essence I still feel like I've been cheated on and I don't know if I should forgive him.

I have had the pleasure of reading everybodys opinions.
I think that when you are in a relationship the love comes and goes. I mean sometimes your upset at your partner for different reasons, it is only normal we are humans. I have been with my girlfriend for approximatly 1 year and six months. She has ended the relationship because she felt she no longer loved me. I mean I cheated on her about 5 diffrent times and every chance that I had to talk to other girls I will take advantage of it. I even slept with one of her friends and she does not know it. I never told her that chated on her and she never found out. I felt like calling her and letting her know but it is worhtless, I grather her not know anything. My point is you love people in your own way. Indeed, you never realize what you have until its gone.

My parents have been married for 30 years. I aksed my dad one day what has kept them together all of these years and his simple word was "Commitment". He said that there were and still are days that he doesn't particularily like my mom and that one thing he has learned is that in relationships, you fall in and out of love. He claims that love has nothing to do with it. Every morning he wakes up, regardless of the circumstances and has the will to stay committed to her.

I mean in my eyes, an attempt to cheat is almost as bad as actually doing the deed. I feel so disappointed because she would always talk about how TERRIBLE, STUPID and POINTLESS cheating is. I dont know what to do because she begged, while CRYING HER EYES OUT, for my forgiveness. She said she almost went through with it because she was so sure I was gonna cheat on her. I NEVER cheated on her and probably would at this point but I would hate myself so I don't plan on cheating

I knew from the start that he wasn't 'the one' but carried on as things were okay most of the time. Now 7 years later I am really unhappy and feeling incredibally trapped, we have commitments and responsibilities that I can't just walk away from however much I want to. Plus when we have had arguments in the past that almost lead to us breaking up he pulls the "Im 35 and will have nothing, will be on my own" card, so I feel guilty put a white wash over everything and carry on, till the next time. About a year ago though I was out on a girly night and met this guy and we kissed and it was like a whole crate of fireworks went off inside me, we texted each other then my boyfriend found out and understandably hit the roof, this is a long story but to make it bearable to read I will condense... things were said and done by all parties not nice things either and the other guy disappeared but every few months he reappears texting me etc and every time my heart goes into a flutter. I really do not know what to do. If I could I would love to pack my stuff and disappear off into the sunset on my own...

reader, anonymous, writes (9 August 2007): I have cheated with the same man for the past year but only on a few occasions when there has been an opportunity. The reason we have cheated is because we are both in other relationships where there is no pysical intimacy anymore. He says he cares deeply for his partner and wants to be with her but I think I knew my relationship was over before I got involved with this other guy. The problem now is I have fallen for him in a big way but don't know if he feels the same. He acts as though he really cares for me but still wants to be with her so perhaps you can cheat & still love the other person. Any thoughts on my situation?

And Alot of anger, I think if you don't like yourself then that can play a big part in the reason a person cheats. and especially if there is no respect for eachother in the relationship... Some people are just extrememly selfish and they dont see what they are doing wrong, some people will never change, no matter how much you love someone if theyre cheating, or making you unhappy its best to move on and go through the tears and pain... and just hope for the best. Especially if they do it more than once, if they dont learn from the first time then theres a good chance they never will. I keep giving my boyfreind chances, and nothing EVER changes, He cries for me back, he says what ever he can do get what he wants and once he gets it, everything is back to the same way it was before.

I feel like they should have waited to work things out with me, considering we always fight, but they slept with someone else anyways. We got back together, and I love them more than anything. I will continue to love them, but there's still the feeling of betrayal that you will never get over, and the feeling that sex is something they'll get whenever they want. i love the person i'm with and would never be with anyone else while we were together!

I also think that once a mistake like that has been made, if you're really, truly in love--which I was--then you learn and never do it again. He never found out, and I felt like a fool afterwards. I loved him more than I ever loved anyone.
On the other hand, I also feel like it is a way of sabotaging the relationship. I did it because I was insecure and felt like I was TOO in love, "he's going to hurt me so I need to put some walls up and close those emotions somehow." He never hurt me but I was trying to push him away.
I've been in other relationships and cheated: out of blatant disrespect for someone, because I was in love with the man I cheated with, and because I wanted an out.

 I believe you can cheat and still love. I did and do. In my relationship I didn't feel like I was good enough. Though I should have spoken and up and talked to my partner I didn't. I confessed and she left. We talk and I love her dearly but yes I did cheat and yes I do love her. I do have respect for her and I will continue to love her, my problems were neither respect or love just insecurity. So all you psychotherapists need more insight. Its not always cut and dried. Its your situation your feelings. I haven't slept with another woman since and don't desire to but I have healing to do. I wish you the best of luck and always follow your heart.

reader, anonymous, writes (21 April 2006): As someone who was cheated on i would have to say NO. In my opinion love and respect go hand in hand. Most people that have happy long term relationships do so because they respect each other. How can you live a lie with someone and allow them to live that lie when you supposedly love them? It’s not fair to take away someone’s choice.
As for the wowan who cheats on her husband as then goes on to say she loves him more than anything, she obviously doesn't love him more that she loves herself. If her husband was to find out I’m sure he would be absolutely devastated. There is nothing quite like the feeling of betrayal, believe me it hurts a lot more than honesty.
Do I think my partner loved me and he’s new born daughter? No, not more than he loved he’s ego.

 Every person is different as to what they want out of a relationship. There are those that are happy with open relationships and then there are those who wish to have their lover all to themselves.
Each is entilted to this and cannot be critised for their desires. If you lay your boundaries on the table at the beginning of a relationship and are honest all the way through then I guess what you do is fine!
If you cheat and you tell your partner it is then their choice to stay with you or not. If you have been honest then you've done all you can. In the last posting where the women wrote she routinely cheats, then if her husband is happy about it then fair do's, who's place is it to criticise!?
However I must my foot down on the lying bit. If you cheat on your partner and you do not have an open relationship (lets face it its not cheating if you have agreed on open relationship), and you don't give them the priveledge of making up their own mind whether to stay with you or not (admit it to them) Or you lie to them and deny it, then you ARE in the wrong and DECEITFUL and UNTRUSTWORTY, and also selfish, whether you like it or not, thats the harsh reality of life!!
If you love someone then you give them the respect they deserve, whether it be staying loyal, or just being honest...........

But I routinely cheat on him to get sex.And before all the preacher's out there start to tell me I am this that or the other....walk a mile in MY shoes before you judge.So yes you can love somebody deeply and still cheat on them. Everybody has a personality and psychology that is uniquely theirs.

Sometimes the reason is because a woman may want to see if she is still attractive to other men and can still "pull" if she wanted to. Sometimes it happens when there may be problems in the relationship and the woman will cheat as a way of hurting there partner, or just to prove that she can get somebody else if she wanted to. So, I believe we can cheat on those we really love but only to try and make ourselves feel better. I dont believe that you can fancy someone else when you are in love, or being in love with two people at the same time. If this is the case when your partner cheats on you, then they obviously dont love you.

if you really loved someone you wouldn't cheat on them. cheating is a way of sabotaging/ getting out of a relationship- even if this isnt evident at the time or may not seem like it.would you cheat on someone you loved? i know i wouldnt. best wishes. :)

 I cheated on my ex 3 times! I dont think I think I agree with the below post, but Id never really thought about it. I guess I didnt respect him at all. He gave me no reason to. I know Im a bitch for cheating on him but I was looking for something that he wasnt giving me. I didnt think that at the time so I stayed with him for 4 years- was going to marry him, have his children. Thank god I realised that the cheating meant that I didnt really want to be with him. He knew about the cheating, but stayed with me. Again a reason to lose respect for someone. Yes it does depend on the circumstances- and its hard to see where you are coming from with such little information, but I would say if one party is cheating- there is something really wrong. Best wishes x

 I would say probably yes, it is possible to tell someone you love them, and yet have no respect for them.I would usually advise ending any relationship where there has been cheating. If its a first misdemeanour, it is usually the first of many, particularly if they get away with it. Not always, but usually.I think it has as much to do with respect as love though. If one partner does not respect the other, then the love will soon fade, even if it hasnt yet.
