Have you/would you stay with someone if they cheated?

I just wouldn't be able to stay with someone if they ever cheated on me, because any relationship that I've ever been involved with even though I haven't had too many relationships in particular are built upon trust and honesty.

I guess I can't really say for certain what I would do, because I've never been put in that situation before and I hope I never have to know what the experience feels like. Even if I did go through this experience of someone cheating on me, I'd probably be more hard on myself than the person that actually cheated on me. I would think that I obviously didn't do a very good job of being a good bf and she seeked someone else that could make her happier. Unfortunately, thats the type of person I am, I tend to be more hard on myself than other people especially if it means me going through a negatvie consequence at the end. Its always what could I have done to not let this happen, and what can I do to improve upon it, not nescessarily what the person did was horrible.

Its just for me, my take on relationships, is if I'm with any woman, she will always be one of my first priorities and above anything else I remain to be faithful to her through good times and bad times. I guess trust is always going to be fundamental factor in any relationship and I think its one of the best building blocks toward the foundation of a long and stable relationship.

I will agree with Alice's statement to a point, that we are just animals and we do have a certain male animal instinct to pass off our horomones to as many females as possible. Yes, human beings do have moments of weakness, but human beings have a higher brain function as well. I will try my best to never let a moment of weakness destroy a great relationship I have with gf.

Alice you might be familiar with my situation, back a few months ago. I have a gf who has a slim to 0 sex drive. To be honest I'm actually in the process of propsing to her within the next 6 months. She feels bad, that she is not as intimate as what I would like her to be. She has even said in this forum that she wouldn't mind me having sex with other people, as long as I didn't love them. Even for the fact I did have permission from her to be intimate with other women, I wouldn't act upon it. I would still consider it as cheating.

If any woman is willing to give me a chance to be a positive influence in their life, I am going to be faithful to them without a second thought. In terms of moments of weakness, have I had lustful feelings for other women during the entire time I've been with my gf, of course I have and she knows that, but will I ever act upon them; of course not. I have turned down one night stands during the time I've been with her.

Deep down, I'll always try my best to never let a moment of weakness get the better of me especially when I'm in a relationship. As well, if anybody cheated on me I would probably not forgive them 99.5% of the time, but it all really depends on the situation and the circumstances. The trust has been broken, and its a bond for me that is not mended very easily. If I feel I can be mentally strong enough not to cheat, I would like to expect the same from my significant other. Besides if for any apparent/unknown reason I did cheat, I wouldn't expect my gf to take me back either, and even if she did I wouldn't accept it because I failed her and I failed myself.

How ya doing, buddy?
