Some people just don't value a relationship the same as others. Cheating is a sign of that. Better to be with someone that values a relationship similar to you.

My personal favorite is when the couple got together by one of them cheating, and then the person is surprised they were cheated on.

I knew a married couple that met in Vegas at a conference and they both were married at the time. Who could have imagined that marriage not ending well?

How long ago did it happen? People can change, but if it was in the past few years, it speaks to her character.

Disagree.

Once you get caught, and your kids are old enough to know you could be the reason their world breaks apart, you gain a pretty clear and swift new perspective on your value system.

Yep. Wife's best friend found out her husband was cheating. He moved out and kept seeing the other woman. The other eventually found out he was cheating on her. He moved in with the other other woman until she recently found out he was cheating on her. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

It all depends. People suck at ending relationships too.

Have to look at her situation. My wife cheated on an ex with me, but when she did she was done with him. It was all over but the moving van. She was cheated on multiple times.

Everything is a situation.

Nope. I cheated in my early twenties but the relationship was awful and I was too immature to realize we could break up (high school/college sweethearts, never dated anyone else).

I have never cheated again and have had zero desire to because my husband fulfills me and I would never do anything to jeopardize our marriage. :)

No.

My college girlfriend and I cheated on each other, it was a shitty relationship that we probably should’ve just bailed on a lot earlier . When I met my wife a few years later the idea of cheating on her would absolutely disgust me, as I actually loved and cared about her.


This is the answer. It's all about context. College/short term relationships trying to figure out what you're looking for in a person or have never broken up with someone so it's somehow still going don't count. Now, if the ex was in a 5 year committed relationship from 30 to 35, you'd have to examine her more closely.

Or I could just stay away from the ot.

Sometimes it’s a really depressing place. And at least I’m hydrated.

Start up a good horse racing thread on the MSB! I haven't seen much about the horses over there in a while.

For discussion sake, let's just say you have fiancée that you've been dating for a while and you've put all your trust in her. You are looking forward to settling down with her, buying a house and all the other stuff that comes along with married life. One day, somehow you find out that she cheated on a former bf of hers, someone that she told you about but she neglected to tell you the whole truth.



Several things come to mind, not the least of which is how credible is this information?

But for the sake of the hypothetical, lets assume it is solid information. What that means is she made at least one selfish, probably bad decision in her life. Why would you share information about a stupid bad decision you made once with someone until later in the relationship.

quote:

What would you do?



Probably ask her about it without being confrontational, if possible. Make it a question, not the start of a fight. Ask if it was the only time she cheated. An incident of cheating at 19 is probably not the same as an incident at 35 IMO.

quote:

Would you break with her?


Would depend on the answers and how she answered. The age that this incident occurred may factor in as well.

quote:

Once a cheater, always a cheater?



I don't think so, I think that applies to serial cheaters, but not someone who made a one time decision that they likely regret for the rest of their life.

It sounds like you have some serious doubts at this point...but what's the hurry? Doesn't mean you need to break up with her. Maybe you just need more time to develop the trust between the two of you. This is definitely not the right time to propose or make life long decisions but if the relationship is going well other than your back of the mind doubts...just give it more time.

That vengeanceofrain guy fricks them all up so I quit

Derby prep season is here, so maybe I will.

And on topic, I think once someone is caught and “gets away with it” it is easier for them to continue to cheat.
