writes:Is anybody else besides me bothered by how acceptable and common it is for people to cheat on one another? It bothers me a lot especially when I'm on here reading about people saying they've cheated and saying "Oops!" like it's no big deal and then people advising them not to tell their partners? Doesn't it make anyone else worry that maybe they're on the worse end of a situation like that in their own relationship? Reply to this Question

I consider myself a man of principle and I just can't seem to get over it, and because of that just like you I have an issue with the advice of 'not telling your partner'.
I'd rather go through the pain and know the truth than not know at all.

yes. i broke up with my ex because his entire group of friends were like that - he went on a stag weekend, and he and the groom were the only ones who went home alone (bearing in mind that they all had serious gilrfriends/wives, and roughly half had kids). i didnt want to be around someone who treated other people like that, and i would hate to have it done to me, or do it to someone else (imagine how awful you would feel, just stomping all over someone you love?). i meet/know very few people who i know cheat on their partners though, so move to scotland!

 i totally agree.. i really dont know how people can do that to the one they say they're in love with.
i can understand that a lot of people who do arent in a good strong relationship at the time, but if things aren't going well, then they should either try and work it out or end it.
no matter what is going on in a relationship, i dont think cheating should be acceptable.
i'm not worried about my current relationship, i know that my bf has been cheated on more than once in the past, and its left him broken and vulnerable, i know that he'd never be able to do that to anyone else.

It's a part of life like anything else, do you worry about meteor dropping on your head? I know it's far less likely but it's still an irrational fear.
So until you have reason to doubt your other half or meteors start hitting the ground around you, it's best not to worry about these kind of things.
