The summer I turned 17 I was in a serious, long-term relationship with a guy who loved me to death. A girlfriend had a small party, there was a really gorgeous guy there who was really into me, I was drunk, we found some privacy and had sex. I felt like a total slut after that. I "dated" this other guy for about a month, and then went back to my boyfriend, who had forgiven me.
From that experience I learned that I am not the kind of person who can have a purely sexual relationship with someone. That got old really quick and was so unfulfilling. I also learned that cheating on someone I love is not worth the guilt that comes with it and the pain it causes my loved one. I still wish I could go back to that time and do things differently.
Have you ever cheated on a partner and if so, what made you do it and what did you get out of it? Was it worth it?

icymore 2009/02/20 18:01:03I've cheated on a partner....






















But in longer ones... after about a year or two I get restless anyways and tend to want to move on. I just have a bad habit of finding someone new before being completely done with the last one.
When I was 18 or 19 I realized all this and decided that I would never again be in a monogamous relationship, they are all open. It isn't cheating if you agree to change the rules.
I wouldn't wish that kind of pain on my worst enemy - never mind inflicting it on someone I profess to love.

hi
that sure is a cute dog :o)
I would never cheat on my partner, or any of my future partners because I know what it feels like. I've been screwed over 6 times! lol
I can assure you that we're not all that way inclined. I'm glad you new man is making you feel good about yourself. Those other guys have lost a truly great girl. It's their mistake to live with, while you've moved on and will be happier. Good for you. :o)
Thank you. It's just really sad, because a few bad apples makes the entire lot look bad. The reason why they cheated on me was because I am not an 'easy' girl, and never in hell will I give up my virginity at the age of 12 and 13! Oh, also because I scored better grades than them. :p Hahaha. But thank you!
*hugs*
.. There's been so many hugs nowadays. o.O
It should be a special thing, that brings two people closer. You'll want that bond to be with someone you care deeply for. I waited until I was 18 and don't regret it, even though we are no longer in each others lives, I wish her well. :o)
Hugs rule! :o)
It's just the way you phrased it that made me curious - it sounds like you still have some anger- but so much love as well.. sometimes love can overcome. If so - you son was lucky you made the choice you did and I hope he knows that.
And for that - you deserve more praise than I can offer, and blessings from whatever Deity you believe in.
Except that I didn't regret it at all.
I made the choice. I did it. You don't cheat accidentally. That is the lamest excuse I will ever hear.
I think it was stupid just because it was a waste of my time. My boyfriend at the time didn't deserve it. I'm not even sure why I did it. I didn't realize that my boyfriend cared so much...
I mean, I told him seriously, the very next day and he went insane... Threatening sucide, jumping in front of oncoming traffic... He was devastated. I felt terrible.
But he moved on fast enough... Like, not even a couple days later, he was dating the chick he knew I despised. Haha.
When I was cheated on, I was pissed.
But, once again, a waste of my time.
It's nothing really... I take risks to learn from those risks. No guy is the wrong guy, and no choice is the wrong choice.
Some of them are very stupid... but, I'm not too worried about it.
