Do you believe you can be inlove with a person and still cheat?
Please bare in mind that loving someone and being inlove with someone is different.

This requires several questions. How do you define love/in love? Did they at any point promise fidelity?
Too often people assume that a sexual relationship automatically represents monogamy, which is why those nasty STDs flourish.
And, finally, can you either love or be in love with someone and then consciously make a decision that may hurt them deeply?

We are talking about in a relationship that monogamy was promised. I get where you’re going with this and I am going to ask these questions in my next serious relationship. What’s your version of being inlove. I didn’t know there was different versions but I guess it’s based on perception. If I’m inlove with someone I can not cheat. Firstly, I am not attracted to anyone else to even think to cheat. It’s like I see my partner in a light no one can touch. I am not saying I don’t have eyes and find others attractive but that’s about it. But I try not to use my standard to judge because I also can’t do casual sex. I have to have an emotional connection to even want to have sex with someone @Mamapolo2016

@NattybyNeter To me, "in love" is that stretch of time when the rest of the world grays out and the object of love is the sole other inhabitant of my world. That's clearly an exaggeration - I couldn't even [i]drive[/i]! - but not by much.
"To love someone" means to me that the relationship has endured long enough for me not to be entirely daft, so I can function, but when it comes to a contest between the loved one and any would-be distractions, the loved one wins. Every time.
Can one of those silly temporary infatuations occur? Yes. But I never act on it. I love that person and to me that means I do not cause them harm.

It means the same for me. @Mamapolo2016

@NattybyNeter Monogamy infers fidelity. That is what love means to me. I would never cheat on someone that I love. And I would expect the same in return.
