Once a cheater, always a cheater?

Infidelity. It may come in many forms, but it all ends up hurting the people involved.

There are many reasons why people cheat. It could be because they have problems in their relationships, or like what Holly LaBarbera, a licensed marriage and family therapist, told Medical Daily, “Sometimes one partner meets someone with whom they fall in love. Sometimes one partner is unhappy themselves and a new relationship makes them feel alive and special in a way they haven’t felt in a long time. Sometimes cheating has nothing to do with the other partner.”

Is it true that once a cheater, always a cheater?  This question was posted on reddit and gained quite a number of reactions from netizens. Let’s look at the top 10 answers by men and women who had cheated, those who learned their lesson the hard way, and those who haven’t and will never cheat (as they claim).

1. “I don’t think a man would cheat if they were in a relationship with someone they were really in love with. I think people cheat because their feelings are not strong enough for their significant other.”

Although a few agreed to this, others did not. One reader even said that once you decide you want to cheat, “there are a million excuses and 3.5 million people to do it with.” Love doesn’t matter that much.
