(In)fidelity

Posted under: Relationships

I believe that if you truly love someone, then you would never even think about cheating on that person. I admit that I have been unfaithful before, but when I think back on it, I realize that I stopped caring about the relationship at that point.

See, I was thinking back on a book I read, The Average American Male. It starts off about a guy who’s with this particular girl, but he doesn’t quite understand why he’s with her despite how much he hates her and all the things she does. (Then again, he might be with her for the security of getting sex.) Anyway, *spoiler ahead* he ends up cheating on her and thinks about cheating on her often. However, he later finds another girl and doesn’t cheat whatsoever. His wants don’t change much from girl to girl, but with the last one, he doesn’t even think about going out of his way to find another fuck.

So with that in mind, I’ve come to realize that a lot of people cheat because 1) they don’t have respect for the person they’re with and/or 2) they may or may not realize that they don’t care for their relationship.

I mean, doesn’t it make sense? Those who go out of their way to cheat either have weak morals, don’t understand themselves to realize their relationship is over, or are too cowardly to admit to the other that it’s over. I figure that if you love someone enough and if you care about someone enough, you wouldn’t even need to think twice about cheating. Sure, a lot of times, it’s unexpected, but when it’s not, then what can you conclude? And then, when it’s unexpected, you always have a choice. Even in the last second, there is always a chance to make that decision.

Anyway, that’s just my two cents. I’m sure there are other reasons as to why a person might be unfaithful.

    “I figure that if you love someone enough and if you care about someone enough, you wouldn’t even need to think twice about cheating.” I 100% agree. People’s love keeps them from straying, so if they do stray, then they really do not love.

    Julie said it best.

    That books sounds like a pretty different perspective. Hmm…Maybe Mari will read it.

    Although I’d like to agree 100% with the rest of you, I don’t think that love is enough to keep a person loyal. After all, love is blind and retarded. But that doesn’t condone someone cheating on someone else, even though its human nature to want what you don’t have.
