My wife cheated on me when we were dating in college. I suspected it, but did not know for sure until after we married and she told me all about it. We did not end it, and it is good that we stuck together. She never cheated again.

@exexec besides making that joke I really am sorry that happened even if you only really found out later I'm sure it still hurt. someone else here said "Cheating hurts because it breaks trust, not just rules." and that really is true, but I am glad to hear that what you had was strong enough to withstand

@exexec oof I really wouldn't be a big fan of any of that myself. I'd prefer and have preferred isolation compared to that. Too many people require like being mindful around and being careful around like dealing with them or being in a relationship with them is like a game and I just can't do it myself, also I hate losing and like modding which is why I prefer pc gaming and single player games at that lol, but that's not really possible from life obviously. All I mean anyway is I hate that for you or for anyone. I just want to be around someone I can let my guard down around and I think everyone deserves that. too many people are playing an angle in life, maybe bc they're actually striving to live to the max though and I'm pretty ok with something more lowkey

It's up to the person to decide. Personally I haven't seen or talked to my ex since finding out he cheated. I didn't sign up to date a cheater so I have no interest in staying with one.

Made the mistake to try .. while there was not more cheating I know of, nothing changed with the approaches that were not working in the relationship.
I'll not repeat the mistake if the situation ever arises again

My very first boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend while I was gone for the summer. I was 16. It's the most horrible feeling in the world, to KNOW that two people who are supposed to care about you are lying to you and going behind your back.
TRUST in any relationship is so important that REAL love can't exist without it. Cheaters are greedy people who want their cake and eat it, too. They are liars. That usually doesn't change.
You are VERY young, and I assume the person you are dating is also very young. If you are dating a man, then he is still in that phase of male life where he wants to pollinate ALL the flowers and doesn't want to settle on one.
If you want to stay with him, fine...just realize you will be hurt by him as he continues to do what he will always do.

Loosing trust is a very hard thing to get back. Losing love forever might be harder. Depends on many things between the two I would think.

Cheating hurts because it breaks trust, not just rules. My healing and peace come first so I would choose to walk away.

If both are willing and want to work things out, then that would be the first step…
If either aren’t willing then time to end it…
My opinion only

That all depends on where you both are in your hearts. If you're able to forgive and trust again and if he is honestly done with that behavior, then yes, work on it.
AshAnnJen2003 · 22-25, F
Ask them why they cheated. Was it because…
They don’t respect you?
They don’t care about your feelings?
They don’t think you’re pretty enough?
They don’t think you’re good enough in bed?
They don’t like being in a relationship with you?
You have to decide for yourself if you can live with their answer.
Personally, I’ve never heard an answer that would make me give a cheater another chance.

@AshAnnJen2003 if dating ,don't mean marriage ,no papers signed saying his is your property.
AshAnnJen2003 · 22-25, F
@jackrabbit10 someone who cheats on you doesn’t respect you. They don’t care about your feelings. They just care about themselves. It doesn’t matter if it’s only dating.
If a person is ok with being in a relationship with someone like that, that’s their call.
I would never be ok with it.

@AshAnnJen2003 before buying a car you have to look at a few more pick the best of the lot, girls also need to look around , why lot of divorces happens,

I don't think cheating is very important. But lying is. Who you have sex with is no one's business but yours. But lying about it means you'll lie about other things and that's not acceptable.
carpediem · 61-69, M
It's only cheating if you've both agreed to be exclusive with one another. If you haven't reached that point, it isn't "cheating". More like continued searching.
I like to end it

@jshm2 well said ,your right on,
Bklynbadboy12 · 31-35, M
Well that depends on you and how strongly you feel about that person and if you think they're able to change or not
StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M
I suppose you can work it out but you have to actually let it go, which is the hard part
SomeMichGuy · M
That would be odd, and might be due to one person assuming exclusivity when it was not assumed by the other...
meeyuh · 18-21, F
@SomeMichGuy I don't think cheating is odd, it happens all the time now
SomeMichGuy · M
@meeyuh Cheating while dating seems odd to me. Without an explicit commitment, it doesn't seem possible.
It would depend on a lot, but the lack of trust would make it very difficult.

Depends do you want to be cheated on again
jackrabbit10 · M
if your dating .its not cheating .it is selecting the best of the two,

Whatever you feel like. There is no cut and dry rule about relationships.
FoolishLuna · 56-60, F
Nope! Player! End it …once a player always a player!
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
End it.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
Well if you are ok with a cheating partner then knock yourself out. If you expect your partner to change and become monogamous then you will be disappointed.

You should be dumping men left and right for any infraction. Or anyone, really. Lol The quality of your relationships are dependent on your standards.
SUPERVlXEN · F
Each to their own but the probability for it to happen again is likely very high

At your age? end it
