@Ineedanswers Do you have some past experience with being cheated on or someone you know being cheated on? It seems like a slightly strange perspective even though I can see you're technically just asking, you're very persistent

You should not stand for being disrespected by a partner like that, if they cheat you should not just forgive them and move on because what you're basically saying when you do that is that you're ok with being walked all over. If someone cheats on you and you have this attitude, 90% chance they'll cheat again when whatever circumstances lead to it before occur again, because now they know there are limited consequences

Sure, you tell yourself that if they cheat again that will be the last time, but if you forgive them the first time then your mind will probably find a way to forgive them the next time as well. You either set the limit at ZERO times or you don't get into a committed, monogamous relationship

But my mind in general just doesn’t go there. I don’t think about random potential catastrophic scenarios in the future and how I might mitigate them.

Definitely agree with this statement, its like not letting your mind go certain negative scenarios is a byproduct of taking a proactive approach to things in life. 

I wanted to see what people had to say in regards to cheating I think we can all agree if there's no marriage or kids involved you'd be better off leaving your parnter but why do those two variables change someone's boundaries on cheating? (assuming he/she admitted to cheating quickly, took responsibility of it and set a plan to make the relationship work?) More of a food for thought kind of question

I personally agree that cheating is the end for a relationship. It’s kinda hard to avoid all sorts of micro infidelities today though like liking a photo of a girl you wanna fuck or occasionally peaking on tinder or making eyes and flirting a bit with a co worker or wishing an ex happy birthday. Social media especially has kinda just opened a whole new world of mingling and orbiters. I think it can easily be avoided physically cheating if you both have boundaries. It’s why I’m not so into this “pure freedom no boundaries around socializing” in a relationship. It’s not as simple as just detaching if you both have a lifestyle that doesn’t quite jive with a serious LTR. A couple that’s serious about a LTR will have the communication and lifestyle that accommodates an LTR. A guy running around and drinking with his bros on a Saturday night behind her back while she is at home taking care of the baby is another example of this. It’s not healthy for an LTR.

I actually know a guy who "forgave" his girl for cheating (even though he brings it up here and there and they broke up couple of times over it but got back together) and now they have a baby. And they seem stable now... 

Just interesting to see lol

lol two peas in a pot. They must both be slightly desperate and decided to settle. Yes people can make things technically "work", but it's like building a house with the wrong material or construction methods. Clock is ticking.

That happens to guys that don't know RP knowledge.

@Tangerinedream BTW if your BF is heterosexual:

1. He is not that into you.

2. He is fucking those other girls.

3. Wake up and smell the coffee.

4. Truth hurts.

5. LOL at boys and girls being friends.

6. IRL boys and girls can't be friends.

You sound like a 15 year old boy who's been reading a little too much redpill content on reddit

I went once into reddit to watch the Rittenhouse thing. I got scared and never visited reddit again. Borderline dark web.

Agree. It's borderline darkweb, but filled with teenagers.
