why do people cheat?

October 4, 2009

No, not my husband (thank the Lord – I’ve never had to even worry about it), but a friend of mine found out that her husband has been having an affair for the last two months.  They have a two year old and a four month old baby.  How could someone do that to their family?  I just don’t get how anyone could be so totally selfish.

Forget what it is doing to his wife, but what about his children?  How could he look into their faces and then go out to continue his affair?

The sad fact of it all is that more people are unfaithful than not, I’m afraid.  Why is that?  If you don’t think you can be faithful or won’t be happy being with one woman/man, then don’t-get-married.  It’s not that difficult.  You canNOT have your cake and eat it, too.   I’m sure people are afraid that they will lose someone they care about if they don’t marry, but if you really, truly cared, you would do one of two things:

1) Get married and be faithful.

2) Be a man/woman and let the person go so they can find someone who will treat them with dignity and respect.

So, for the people who read this..don’t be a jerk and cheat.  Period. 

I rarely see issues as black and white, but this one is.  There is NO gray area that justifies cheating.  None.  Nada.  Ain’t there.
