I hate to be negative here, but I really can't even begin to comprehend the idea of cheating with respect to any relationship I've even been in, or will be in.
I mean, I just don't date people who are that shallow. I only date women who so open you can see to the very foundation of their soul. Not to imply that they aren't still a mystery, or that it's easy to know them in their entirety. Not at all. In fact, women who aren't extremely complex don't even interest me.
But at the same time they open themselves up to me in a way that I can know them like as if we have been lifelong friends. Perhaps it might have something to do with the fact that I also open myself up for them. The idea that someone you know that well would cheat on you is just beyond my comprehension. Some have called my naïve but I've never been burnt and a lack of complete open trust is something that I just can't even begin to deal with.
So I'm at a total loss to understand how any couple could cheat on each other. To me it just implies that they never really knew each other. Either that, or they did KNOW and just refused to move on for whatever reasons. I think if I met a woman that I really cared about and I knew that she wasn't capable of monogamy, instead of trying to pretend that she could be I'd either accept that as the way things are going to be and maybe even arrange for an open relationship so she wouldn't have to lie about it, or I'd have to walk away.
Personally I really don't want a woman who has that kind of nature. To be like that means that she's lacking the ability to really get to know me and share with me on the deepest possible level. Since this is a very important part of what I'm looking for in a partner the type of women who would cheat just don't appeal to me in the first place.
So I can't even begin to comprehend being in a relationship where cheating would even be an issue at all. I hear a lot about it and I even have trouble understanding how it can be such a common thing in the world. It just doesn't even make any sense to me at all.
