I love how so many articles on adultery are written with the man being the cheater. Personally, I believe women are just as capable of cheating as any man I’ve ever met.
10 Things to Know BEFORE Dating a Married Man is a wonderful article listing several reasons that seem so common sense, but many people who are knee deep in love with an adulterer don’t stop to realize.
The one thing that always made it so easy for me to refrain from dating a cheater was the fact if they could cheat on their spouse so easily with me – doesn’t that mean they could cheat on me just as easily?
Who wants a relationship like that?
There are plenty more reasons not to date a cheater and Dr. Goulston does a great job of discussing them.
What are your thoughts on dating a cheater? Dating a married man or woman for that matter?
I have never heard of a marriage that works if the one who cheated, regardless of gender, was still actively involved in a realtionship during the infidelity. It is different, and I don’t know if I would count it as cheating, if you are separated for a length of time and then start dating someone. I don’t agree with it, but if you have been separated from your spouse for say 5 years and live competely separate lives and find someone to spend time with, then I don’t know if I would consider it cheating. My question would be why haven’t you gotten a divorce yet?
The more common scenario is that the cheater is habitual. Just watch out and knw the situation ahead of time.
How sad that we are talking about people who think it is ok to cheat in the first place. I couldn’t trust anyone that cheated, personally. If they would do it once, why would you think they woudn’t do it to you?
