It does tend to create that ole addage, "Once bitten, twice shy". I know what your saying too. Makes you just a tad bit gun-shy. But one thing it does provide, is the ability to slow down and listen to both your head and your heart. And in doing that, you may be less apt to get hurt again. Best of luck in your new meet!!

I so feel where you're coming from KissMe..

My ex cheated on me and contracted herpes. He didn't tell me until six months AFTER we broke up. (Thank god I never slept with him)

There's good men out there hon. They're just hard to find.

..... and why do woman cheat?

I know exactly where you are coming from, KissMe.. Except I'm the guy with the broken heart. I've been burned 3 times in the past two years by my fiancee, *girlfriend at the time of her cheating on me* She is my best friend, known her since 1st grade, and now we are dating. She went two years without cheating on me, and I thought she was taking me seriously now. She even accepted my proposel. Now, just a week ago, I've found out by her that she's cheating on me again with a co-worker, WHO KNOWS she is engaged. He played with her mind when she was in her state of depression. Same case senario on the other three times. She told me how they have done everything BUT sleep together... How can I trust her anymore? She lied to me about this when I first had my suspicions by telling me she had no interest in him sexually...

What's the worst part? I don't know whether or not to leave her. I can't really picture myself with anyone else. This sucks!

Why do people cheat? Because they are insecure and looking for fullfillment through sexual validation. They are basically attention whores but on a physical level. I have been on both sides of the fence on this matter and all I can say is, it would be in the best interest of one who has recently experienced infidelity to take the next serious relationship slow, not only to avoid getting burned but to avoid penalizing the new love for the old love's wrong.

hard question... could be a lot of things. One reason may be that too many women ( and obviously too many men) are availalble to have sex. It's d*mn easy in other words. And that's a shame, cuz it cheapens sex. Perhaps they aren't getting what they want from their partner. But in that case, they should not cheat but talk to their partners about what they want. Frank discussions about sex are in order before you start believing that someone is 'the one'. Hmmm, if you want to avoid it, offer him a threesome with a friend or something; if he's into it, then he's not the guy you want (unless you're really into it too)..... bottom line: who knows?!!!

I think that maybe he was just getting bored and was afraind that he would only be with one woman the rest of his life. I hate getting cheated on but you just have to trust them but it is hard when it happen to you. Trust is a must, if you can't trust the person you are with then why be with them.

People seem usually demand, honesty and loyalty from their friends. Why don't people to the same of their lovers???

Kissme4Ever: If your "best friend" was having sex with your Fiancee, you should really look at how you select friends and lovers. Let me guess, you met them at a bar/club???

Men don't cheat, Boys do!

Boys live in a frame of mind that there always COULD be better out there. That the world is BIG place, and they are always trying to out do what they have...cars, clothes, and women. Boys cheat, because it's all they know HOW to do, and ultimately-not giving the love, attention and respect that a beautiful soul deserves. They don't know what they want, so they keep going.

Men live in a frame of mind of happiness, above all, is the key to a successful life. The world they live in is only as big as they make it-knowing what they want thus eliminating all the unnecessary crap in their lives. Men fight for what they truly want, facing all obsticals head on with an open heart and mind, insted of boys who cowardly try to remedy what they don't want by destroying it in the quickest, easiest way they know how...to cheat.

Men know a good thing when they find it-and wouldn't mess it up for the world....there needs to be more Men out there...

kissme,
I wouldn't cheat on you. I probably wouldn't ever leave the bedroom if you want the truth.

o.0

:crosses arms:

Men cheat because women don't demand sexual restraint in thier own relationships. If you want to find a man who will never cheat, find a man who refuses to have sex without serious commitment, or maybe one who is willing to wait for you, if that is what you wish.

A relationship is a 2-way street.

You are responsible for him, he is responsible you, aside from obviously each being responsible for themselves. Nothing new, nor much to be said here.

That means, if things appear to be going off the rails, you find out and remedy whatever it takes. If the other party takes on the same viewpoint, it's pretty tough to have it all go to pot.

Sometimes problems enter the fold which can tear away on any relationship. Problems at work, mother-in-laws that sit by the window all day looking for a reason to call the police, etc.

Beyond that its an integrity problem, which unfortunately is a b*tch to deal with. That's when you can safely start spinning the roulette wheel.

Staying in communication is still the very best shield of protection anyone has.

It takes work, and if either party is not willing to to pitch in, it will inevitably go by the boards in due time.

What the heck is your " best friend" doing sleeping with your guy?
Did you tell them they deserve each other????!!!!

The reason why people cheat is because sex rules- its some biological law.

There is evidence that mind over the matter can work though!
Perhaps a guy with a brain will be smart enough to know better!

Something is seriously wrong with this story, I don't know what it is, but I feel in my bones that perhaps you aren't telling us everything Kissme. With the body type that you have at least of what you show of it, who in his right mind would run around having someone so cute as you to share his bed? Could it be that you perhaps flirt and lead men to think that your flirting is leading in other directions and so they say to themselves, screw this, if she can do it, me too? Maybe too, and I don't mean this as an insult, but maybe you don't do it for your men in the bedroom. I've been on both sides of the fence like another of the writers who responded to this thread, if a man isn't getting enough at home he will for sure wander around. If what he's getting at home doesn't please him he will look for a woman who can do just that.

I have two married friends, and when they argue, she cuts him off sex, a bad thing to do because now when she does it, he goes and see's an old girlfriend who DOES know he's married but doesn't like his wife and if I think you're cute, well I can't even start to tell you how beautiful this woman is, it's just that she has life all mixed up. Instead of cutting him off of sex she should sit down with the guy and work things out as he isn't the brightest and what if he comes home with Aids or something else. If I were you, I'd ask myself what is it that you are missing in your relationships and if you find out, kindly let us know.

I wouldn't put it past a lot of people. Sometimes **stards only care about quanity. Or they get a thrill out of being dumbasses and hurting women.

One can only guess. You've got to find integrity to get away from that sort of thing.

But you may be right.
