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.

No. If you cheat, when you’ve agreed to a monogamous relationship with the person, you couldn’t possibly really love or respect them. And you certainly couldn’t be "in love” with them. Those who believe monogamy isn’t "natural" should give that disclaimer to potential partners.
Fewer misunderstandings that way.

@bijouxbroussard it's possible to love and respect someone and also love and respect yourself more

I don’t understand you’re reply. Are you saying because you love and respect yourself more you cheat? @BigImo

@BigImo A cheater is dishonest and therefore has no self-respect, either.

@NattybyNeter I love and respect myself so much I know I deserve more than just one person

@bijouxbroussard okay sweetie 😘 have fun having a boring life

@BigImo I don’t think treating people the way I’d want to be treated is "boring". But, hey, you do you. 🤭

@bijouxbroussard Exactly. 👏👏👏

Right. I didn’t even respond because I thought the person was trolling. I could never and I believe in karma. @bijouxbroussard

@NattybyNeter I don’t know why the person felt the need to even comment on my reply, because I specified

when you’ve agreed to a monogamous relationship with the person

. That’s what makes it cheating.

Some people have "open" relationships where monogamy isn’t part of the deal, and both parties accept that.
So she could screw everyone in town, and she wouldn’t be cheating. But I still don’t think folks who choose to sneak around have any self respect.

The moment I started studying psychology and realized that people actions are a reflection of their own internal battles. I stop making a fuss. I hope I always have open eyes to never walk into anything like that. There’s no love in betrayal for me but others are allowed their own opinions. @bijouxbroussard
