Is it weird that I expect my partners to cheat? [I Want To Talk About Cheating]

It doesn't really bother me when it happens because I go into the relationship expecting it. 😐 I just ask that they be safe about it, I don't want a disease.

Yes. That's a saddening thought. I would never start a relationship with anyone I expected to be unfaithful.

@PhilDeep maybe you have enough to offer someone that they wouldn't feel the need to cheat.

@DearAmbellina2113 That is kind. I have completely stopped looking because I know I have too much to fix to fairly expect anyone else to take into their life. I wouldn't start anything with a cheater anyway though.

I know you feel you don't match that new guy, from what you've been writing, but maybe he thinks a lot better of you than you do yourself, friend? I found self-esteem took me decades to master. I don't think there's an easy way but I think it's worth it. All the best to you.
