Cheating

Hello All!

So I figured if I want to become a writer I should start...um writing! So here I will deliver my daily(er weekly) thoughts or experiences.

So lets dive in,

One subject I've been wrestling with lately is cheating. Now I've never been cheated on (to my knowledge) but for some reason that is the one thing that terrifies me. I feel like I'm constantly looking for it, whether it's in my relationship or in others. I guess you could blame it on insecurities but I think it goes deeper than that. One really cant deny the coloration between celebrities cheating and my renewed interest in the subject. Every other day there is some celebrity guy cheating on his beautiful wife/girlfriend. Do they cheat because they know they can? Are they lonely? Are they plain douchebags? I guess it's not a one size fits all kind of thing but there must be an underlying cause. The basis of cheating usually has nothing to do with just a plain physical attraction to another person. Theres more to it, sometimes cheaters are lacking attention, maybe they suppose their partner is cheating, who knows. But could you ever say that there is ever a time when cheating is ok? Does knowing the relationship is going to end give the "ok" to cheat? From speaking with my friends about it, I think the general consensus is that if you want to be with another person, break up with who you're with. But does that make it any easier? Knowing you're being broken up with because your partner wants to be with someone else. I think thats the hardest part about being cheated on (again, I can't speak from personal experience) is not the fact that they think someone else is more attractive, but the fact that they dont care about you enough to not cheat. They dont have enough respect for the person to not cheat. Also, when do you think a person is most likely to cheat, when they havent been dating that long or when they are in a long term relationship? I think there are arguments for both sides. In a new relationship, sure things are good in the honeymoon phase but you also dont know that person as well, again might have less respect for them. In a long term relationship, they are getting bored and care about the person too much to break it off for good?

Now of course, these are just questions to get you thinking. I obviously hate cheating, but I think it's a fascinating subject. Feel free to leave comments about your thoughts on the subject.

Till next time,
Nothing but love
