Is anyone actually faithful anymore?

[~peaches~]

I think people have more access to porn, dating websites etc. etc. and see that the world is full of options, it can really take a toll on a relationship. Also, I think people get married to soon, just for the hell of getting married, all your friends do it, why shouldnt you, trust me I did it to , 4 years later I was divorced.

As far as cheating, as I have gotten older, I am only 27, I know what I want in a man, I have found that and admire him, and I would never disrespect him by cheating on him

People in general are takingmore risks on every level - and that includes being unfaithful with your SO. Cheating is risky behavior. It's become so commonplace that more and more people are willing to take that risk. Also, dating is so much less about monogamny these days that it's ok and accepted and actually preferred to be dating more than one person at a time, it seems.

Those who cheat when married, on the other hand, are purely bastards.

Also, anyone who is in high school or college and expects a meaningful, monogamous, long-lasting relationship with their SO - is just plan unrealistic. Dont set your standards too high. Kids are kids.

True, also I think that people have a warped sense of what life is supposed to be like. They've seen too many movies or read too many stories.

That's happened to me. I just figured out that my mail carrier isn't trying to flirt with me when she delivers my bills or that my bus driver isn't being nice when she picks me up.

"I think people get married to soon, just for the hell of getting married"

Not to be sexist but that is almost 100 % the woman on that one.

I see WAY too many women push and push for marriage and children, then once they have them they realize that marriage isn't like every romantic comedy they've seen a millions times over and they get "depressed" and either cheat or leave.

The definition of "committed" is rather squishy as well. For ex, if you're still sort of in the process of getting to know a person, can you still 'hook up' w/ someone else? Lots of people will because they don't consider themselves committed - like above, could just be something to share w/ someone to pass time until 'the one' or 'something better' shows up.

Other people don't honor the 'commitment' part at all- i.e. they put up the facade that says "committed" (e.g. marriage, engagement ring, etc.) but still don't remain faithful.

Some people commit to a relationship and the relationship goes south but they haven't actually made the step to disengage from the relationship (could be out of fear, security, lack of balls, feeling of helplessness, financial, etc) so they sneak around it.

Some people just won't commit.

And I"m really dying to know how many guys bring their own condoms & honestly get checked for STDs every once in a blue moon?

For the record...I dont cheat.

The only time I have/will ever cheat is a woman pulls that "withholding sex" bullshit.

And I let any woman I'm with know that up front too, you pull that shit with me and I'll go get it somewhere else.

...........lets be clear on the matter

open relationships are for whores
and also "looking around" while engaging someone is pathetic

LOL Why dont you just up and leave the relationship instead of blaming YOUR BEHAVIOR on the woman.

I am still trying to figure out why it seems to be so damned hard for people NOT to cheat.
