How do you avoid infidelity?

If you’re in a relationship how do you resist temptation? This is something I really struggle with. I understand people say if you really loved the person you wouldn’t cheat on them and they’d be enough for you. I could genuinely love someone but still dabble in other situations. I want to get better. I’ve ruined a few relationships in the past due to infidelity.

I have to admit I think if you really love someone you would not be willing to cause them the pain that infidelity usually brings.

It’s not about whose parts are mixing with whose parts...it’s the hurt and humiliation and betrayal that the cheated-on partner feels. The wondering why they’re not enough. There is also the real danger you might transmit a serious disease to the someone you really love.

If an open relationship is what you want, you should make that clear up front.

To answer your original question...if you want to say no, don’t put yourself in situations where Yes sounds better
