Do you believe you can be inlove with a person and still cheat?

Please elaborate because this is a common perception that I’ve never understood but really would like to. @nonsensiclesnail

@NattybyNeter I understand it only from my own personal experiences and can't say that this is life for everyone, or that it is the same for everyone. You can care about someone deeply but still be so self centered and entitled to feel or believe that you should be able to do what (or who) you want. I'm certainly not saying this is healthy. But there are people who feel they deserve certain things and if they can't get it from you they will get it from someone else.

I am trying to understand so don’t view my replies as combative. What you just mentioned sounded more like loving someone to me than being inlove. My version of in love has to do with not just me being emotionally connected deeply with someone. It also has to do with me being physically connected. So that means I can’t physically take myself to that level of attraction to anyone else because of how inlove I am with my person. Also when I am inlove I can’t be selfish. I don’t make it that way: it’s just how my emotions work. I care about the perosn so much that I would never want to hurt them in anyway. Them being happy makes me happy. So how can I be selfish? @nonsensiclesnail

@NattybyNeter sounds like maybe you are emotionally healthy when it comes to love. Maybe you are not a selfish person. It may be that, for me, Ive never found anyone who truly loved me so I dont really know the difference. If someone ere, as you are, deeply emotional and physically connected, I dont know why there would be anyone cheering if the emotions and love are mutual.

I understand. Life can be challenging to navigate, especially with our emotions and people. @nonsensiclesnail
