dishonorable, disreputable, unnecessary, uncalled for, and ultimately foolish.

It is very easy to go to your significant other and ask for different rules to your relationship or to end your relationship. You may not get the answer you want, but that's not the point. When you make a commitment to someone, then you are obligated to keep that commitment. This is America, you can change anything at anytime. Why cheat? You hurt the person that you are with and care about, for what? A fling? Doesn't seem worth it to me. Even if you argue that they will never find out, you are still showing a complete and utter lack of respect for them and proving that you have no honor... when you could have easily broke things off with them and taken what you wanted anyway. When you cheat in the end, you lose. You lose yor integrity, you risk losing someone you care for, you lose stability, you lose your own security. Nothing will make you think your partner could be cheating more than if you cheat. Since you know the likelyhood and possible circumstances of doing so it is easy to project that upon your partner. If it was that easy for you it must be even easier for them.

Why do that to yourself, I would seriously hope not for temporary lust that goes away soon enough or because you are horny, because you'll find that they aren't as amazing in bed as you have built them up to be. In the end I just see how cheating is worth it.

and in all this I realize that I may have missed the question...

When you enter a relationship you agree to certain rules and if those rules are not understood then you should immediately find your partner and have them spelled out. It leads to a lot less heartache if you do.

Cheating is anything that falls outside of the guidelines that have been agreed on by you and your partner and the ability to remain in good faith.(for example if you agree you cannot sleep with another person, having sex with them and not staying the night does not preclude you from cheating because you know what was meant and though the letter of the law is obeyed, you are not remaining in good faith.)

I am so right there with you.

I think the big thing about cheating is selfishness. People cheat, because they think they can have their cake and eat it to. When you are in a relationship, and you choose to cheat, it's all about the potential for forgiveness. "I'll never do it again, it was a one time thing, they meant nothing to me, it was just sex.." Those are the excuses that people who cheat always use. The thing, is 9 times out of 10, the person they cheated on thinks, "Wow, well, it's not like we broke up..so they must mean this apology". I know I fell for it..and got cheated on over and over again.

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Cheating is something I never understood. Why would you intentionally do harm to someone you care about? I just don't get it.

(on a side note I have decidd that I suck)
