Thinking About Cheating? 12 Reasons Why You Should
You may not have considered these…

What about reputation?
Beyond making the one cheated on look ignorant (even if just to you), or like a laughing stock, the opportunity for the cheater to be known as someone who can be trusted is diminished greatly. The grass will not always be greener on the other side.
People are people, and sometimes they change their minds; thinking cheating is fun, exciting and adventurous will only last a little while. What happens when the excitement dies and you become branded as one who ‘gets around’? Where will that leave you? It will leave you alone and despised (maybe even by yourself).

I’m regretting falling in love with my partner. To begin with, I fell in love with an alcoholic who later became sober within the first year of our relationship. Her sobriety is great, however it showed me the true person that was under the drunken lie. I adjusted my life to help her stay sober and it’s working for her, however it’s taking a toll on me and all the accommodations I’ve made to continue to be in a relationship with her. She’s pushed me away many times over the course of our relationship and even told me if she was me she wouldn’t be in the type of relationship she’s putting me through. She’s so inconsistent in her mind and heart that it’s stifling me now. I recently tried to pull away and take a break, to give her the space and freedom she wants. When I did, she kept reaching out and wouldn’t allow me to clear her from my mind. I came back and not even a week later she was back to being her lame, inconsistent, empty promising, over obsessed with her family’s approval (she’s Latina, deep deep deep deep deep obsession with her family of alcoholics who never knew how to show her love and affection) lackluster self in our relationship again. I have never cheated in any relationship I have been in BUT now I am strongly considering. Simply just to cleanse my mind, body and spirit of her energy. It’s a sad truth and reality that I’m faced with right now.

No cheater will let their significant other have access to their device which is why it has become so hard for people to get evidence of infidelity. You can break rules to get the peace of mind you deserve. There are only a few people who can pull this off and you have to be extremely careful.
I had to put up with a cheating partner for almost two years until I decided to get evidence since I had nothing on her. It was a tough decision but it was necessary!

Women cheat on men all the time too…. or at least think about it. I’m not sure why everyone is only focused on men cheating when I know plenty of women face the same problem

Men who think they’re so attractive cheat. They feel like it adds a length to their thing whenever they cheat. Too bad, because no it doesn’t.

Excitement really dies. Eventually you’ll get bored of the thrill and what has become of that new found relationship of yours? Nothing.?

I saw on my newsfeed once about the ad in the billboard when her husband cheated. Kinda thought it was real but that was funny af.

I’ve heard it so many times that men who cheat will blame their partners for their inadequacy. If there’s anyone who’s inadequate, it’s the man who decided to cheat just because of petty reasons. Heard this a lot before and I’ve met men who are worse than the other. Men who want to cheat will find reason in their partners so that they can continue to keep on cheating. I pity those women who get victimized by them because there are times that they would blame themselves.

Men sometimes argue that cheating is subjective and I’m like… ???

I’m so glad I found a guy who cheated before but completely changed. I know some of you might say that I should watch out, but I know for sure that he’s changed.

Lucky for you, because most women have to deal with cheaters who won’t stop.
