Do you think cheating is inevitable in a relationship?
Sometimes I think it will happen sooner or later and I just have to choose if I’ll accept it or not.

First off, No. No it is not inevitable.
But it's so common, that statistically speaking, It is likely to happen to everybody sometimes.
So I think it's good to idk, prepare yourself for the possibility, idk.
But it does not make it an acceptable inevitable event to deal with in every monogamous relationship. That just isn't true.
I posted a story here a long time ago about my fear about getting pregnant because the probability of being a single mother at the time of birth either by choice or not is like 60%. You either break up, get cheated on and break up, or he leaves, etc. That absolutely gels with what I've seen in real life. I've seen a lot of break ups and abandonment and divorces during a first pregnancy. That seemed inevitable to me at the time.
However I also know some good people and good relationships too. People who have never and would never cheat or intentionally hurt their partner. So there are people out there who choose to be respectful, faithful and honest and would break up or divorce before cheating. Just got to find someone good like that. Idk.
