If this summer has taught me anything, it has shown me that the sanctity of an exclusive relationship is dead. Though I am sure many upstanding individuals are faithful in their respective relationships, I just haven’t met any. On multiple occasions, I witnessed both men and women throw caution to the wind and blatantly cheat on their partners.
Not that I care or feel the need to expose their infidelity, I just feel that I need to express that if you cannot stay faithful then do not commit to a relationship. That being said, these people in question may completely regret their mistakes. They may blame it on human nature or the go to excuse - blame it on the alcohol. Now the alcohol excuse is the worst. If you can remember that single ladies is your song you can also remember that you have a boyfriend. Having been cheated on myself, I can truly relate to these unsuspecting partners, sitting at home, content in the strength of their relationship and the unfaltering fidelity of their partner. No one said it better than the Biz.
At the same time, however, if the opportunity presented itself in which I would take the position of the home-wrecker, I would most likely take it. Maybe in some sick way, I am making myself feel better by hurting someone else. Call me a jerk, call me an asshole, but I would prefer if you call me gentleman.

ReplyDeletelol that's funny
good post!
What I hate is getting caught in-between. I used to work with the fiancee of one of my very best friends, and after months of sleepless nights deliberating whether I should expose her for her cheating on him multiple times with multiple guys, I ended up getting the figurative vote off the figurative island. It's not worth it. Next time, I'm closing my eyes, covering my ears and humming.
ReplyDeleteJust some advice, it could just be me but being "the guy who was cheated on" will take you way farther in a woman's eyes than "the guy that is okay with being a homewrecker".
ReplyDeleteBe sexy not cynical!
(easier said than done I know)
I actually broke off a friendship with someone because they made a slip that they had been fooling around on their spouse. I lost a lot of respect for that person, but wasn't going to be the one to destroy a family either.
ReplyDeleteI just don't get why people would do that? I've felt the sting of betrayal and I never wanted anyone to feel that way because of something I did.
Oh goodness. I understand that sometimes a person may meet someone else while they're in a realationship. That sometimes a person will think "I simply need to be with this other person." But there is something called integrity! Break off the relationship first then run after the hot girl who most likely wont speak to you after you hook up. (Hmm, I may have had the unfortunate experience of being betrayed as well)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I wonder what the statistic is for how many people actually cheat. I wonder if its as high as I think it is?
