Why Do People Always Say Once A Cheater Always A Cheater? Just Because Someone Cheated Once Doesn't Mean They're Gonna Do It Again...right?

I have a friend, best friend but I wouldn't trust him around any women that I cared about. He is the biggest A - hole to every woman he meets. He's an excellent friend to hang out with as a guy don't get me wrong, I just know he will always treat them like crap and will probably die alone because of it... I've told him this LOL

Cheating person's are insecure with themselves, I know from experience, I have never cheated but the one guy that did needed all women to love him so he could play them all.  They seem to not have any real feelings, though.  Or they would feel how much they hurt others.  If they do it once, it seems to be like potato chips, if you dont' give them up, you can't stop!!!!!! You have been warned, oh, and nothing you can do will change them, don't waste your precious love on them.  Word from the wiser now.

Sort of. Some guys just cheat. Some don't cheat. And it's generally not about you and your relationship. Its often about something the guy gets from getting the girl. Now, shorty admitted to cheating and I will too. When I was younger, I just left a really bad relationship. Hubby #1 kept telling me how ugly and stupid I was and that I'd never get another guy to like me. When I cheated, I was mentally telling him, "see I can get another guy!!". Once I figured out that's what I was doing and that getting guys wouldn't bring me any self-esteem, I stopped. I've been with hubby #2 for 22 years and haven't even thought about chasing anyone else.

Yes they will...There was something that made them wander in the first place.....could be someone stealing them away...could be one wanting to know what someone else is like...When we are young we all make mistakes and have to learn from them...Right!

If I found out that was happening, I'd
dump the (VERY nasty word here)
so fast he'd get scorch marks.
I feel that the guy who cheats on
me has just told me that I wasn't
good enough.  And I wasn't about to
fall for the 'moment of weakness' bit
or the 'I only wanted to see how much
better you were than all the other girls'.
'All the other girls'?  If people thought
Saint Helen going off was a big blast...
Anyway, to me, a man (women too, actually)
who cheats cheats because he's not happy
with what he has.  And, as long
as he isn't, he's going to keep looking.
Which means that, even if he said it
was 'the first time', I'd wonder if that
was the first time, 'first time', or the first time
he got caught or the first time I found out about it.  
I've had to deal with 'the other woman' situation
and when I saw her, I knew he'd gone down hill
a long ways to go from me to her.   A judge's signature
fixed that, and I understand that he married her right after.
Last I heard, she'd maxed out all his credit cards, over-drew
the checking account, closed out the joint savings account
and took off for parts unknown.  About 8 months after they
were married.

What goes round - comes round. Sounds like he got just what he deserved.

So Sad but it is the truth. Once a person does this cheating thing, it makes them feel brave....they have already done the worse to another person...so what's one more time. And let me add this also...another phrase...

If the person is gonna cheat, then the person will steal and lie. Lieing, Cheating and Stealing all go together because it takes a thug to commit any of these crimes!!! Cheating in a marriage should be a crime. The Bible definitely outlines it as such!

How right you are Eyewatcher, if you are a cheater you are without a doubt a liar also. You must lie about your whereabouts, who you were talking to on the phone, why you were late, why you could not be at your daughter's recital, etc., etc. The two go hand in hand, cheat = lie.

Well it makes the decision to walk away easier, as in fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. On the other hand, there may be two sides to the story, variety is the spice of life, and if it cant be found at home someone else will be glad to provide it elsewhere. Just playing devils advocate, dont ya know.

A cheater has a flaw in their personality and moral outlook on life.  I am of the belief that a cheater is often someone that has a low self esteem and must cheat to prove that others find them desirable and to prove to themselves that they are sexually desirable. I find their actions their actions deplorable.  However, I will add that I do believe that some can and do change.  Some mature, some realize how valuable their home life really is (was).  Some find religion, some find a conscience and guilt guides them down the straight and narrow pathway.  Some do....some don't.  It is generally thought that the majority of cheaters will cheat again and again and again.  In many it seems to be habit forming.

If someone does a mistake, he will try to rectify it but not redo it. But people get an impression that once done tht's it.
Whatever good you do people will not remember. They will be counting on you and will be eagerly waiting for your mistakes. That is the order of the day in the present scenario.

Because, it's just like in school. Let's say you're doing a math assignment. In study hall, you and your friends are sharing answers and get caught by a teacher and get in trouble. Now, would you stop cheating? No. A good majority of people would just share answers on the phone or find another why. Why would this be different in anything else?

There are a lot of people that cheat repeatedly and they move from one person to another. Once you break one persons trust  they spread it around and soon noone will trust you. Would you?
