cls1990 agony aunti dont know about anybody else but when im in a relationship i dont even look at another man!

if you want to cheat then you cant be happy with your partner & have no respect for him or yourself.

i have been cheated on before and wouldnt wish it on anybody, it would of been easier for me to get over him if he had the balls to finish our relationship before sleeping with another woman. I have no respect for anybody like that, if you dont want to be with your partner then end it instead of going behind their back.

I was tempted to cheat on my ex with my current bf. This was because I had really liked my current boyfriend for ages and hidden it from everyone, my ex didn't like him for some reason and stopped me talking to him. Which kinda wanted to make me rebel.

I didn't cheat on him and it ended up bad terms anyways.

Turns out, my current boyfriend had the same feelings for me ^.^

Honeypie agony auntI have never been tempted. Yeah I have met some really nice and attractive guys, but I was raised with a set of morals, integrity and values.

Even though I am not a Christian, I believe the 10 Commandments are as useful today as the day Moses brought then down from Mount Sinai.

Cheating is easy. It's a form of surreal escapism. It's not real. It might feel like TRUE love, but usually it's more like lust. It's about stroking ones ego. It's about disrespect of one self and ones partner. It's self destructive and sooner or later you will be found out. You will be caught, and then what? You hurt COUNTLESS people for a little sex?

Last but not least... who does the cheater cheat the most? Him or Herself..

oh, so much of unnecessary drama with cheating.

also cheating is for cowards....its so little work. a marriage and relationship is so much of continuous hard work. and in the end it is worth it.

i always hear cheaters/ adulterers say, you don't know me, I am a good person. But you still have the audacity to mess up peoples lives. I get confused by all the drama the cheaters make. And when we disagree with the cheaters modus operandi, we get labelled all sort of names.

If you really want to know about devastation infidelity causes, just click on the “cheating” tab on the right.

EWO- GOOD CHOICE OF WORDS.

It's exactly the same as if you were in a shop and the shop assistant went into the back. You could steal a bar of chocolate and no one would ever know.

You could, or you could be a decent human being and not a thief.

If you want to cheat then don't. Go home and end it with your boyfriend. If you want to be with someone else then you can be. You are not married but do the decent thing, end it, tell him the feeling is just not there any more. Let him be angry and hurt, and then after a week you can go off and have as much sex as you want.

Good Luck!! xx

jaime90 agony auntmy relationship is practically over were fighting all the time and i have known for a while now things arent going to work out, its just a matter of having that talk.

Even given the circumstances, when faced with the opportunity of cheating i would never. even though our love has faded its completeley disrespectful and i can just wait until the relationship is over before i go with other guys.

Having said that i think most people in relationships have thoughts of being single but its never good to act upon them if you love the person your with

i could of cheated loads of times but what stopped me was the love i have for my h/b.Sometimes you may feel unloved or money is tight and things are not want you expect but you work at it and not go of and cheat as it never solves anything.

When i was tempted to cheat i would think is it worth it yeh you get a buzz and i would feel great that some one else found me attractive but i never gave in, why because i believe if you truly love a person you will never be unfaithful to them.

A male reader, Answerthis South Africa +, writes (14 April 2009):

Yes, and there is no "try", just "do". Just don't cheat. Rather face the facts that you want someone else, and break-up.

Cheating is easy. And the right thing to do, is almost always the harder option. Character building stuff!

Hope that helps, and be a good girl now...
