Do you believe once a cheater always a cheater?

Question

Or do you think that good, honest people can just get sidetracked and fall into temptation?

Answer 1

If this is your spouse or significant other you're speaking of, I think that they should have a chance to prove it was a one-time slip-up. If it is yourself, you should prove to yourself that it was a once-in-a-lifetime mistake that you won't repeat. If this is your married lover, I'm of the belief that if that person will cheat WITH you, they will cheat ON you!!

Answer 2

I believe once a cheater always a cheater. Cheaters just can not help it. They are not honest people and they are easily sidetracked. Temptation for them is around every corner. Would you marry a man that you knew raped someone?? So why would you marry a man that has cheated on other woman??

Answer 3

once a cheater always a cheater .. TRICKY question concidering ive been cheatin on ..well I would like to think that everyone makes that mistake a time or two ? Before when hearing that question I would say No ..but now that ive experianced it i cant lie to myself its a scary feeling that always haunts me to this day ...after my at the time bf cheated I forgave him and married him been with him for 10 years and things seemed great .. i found out he was with another girl prior to the one i already new about ... and now I find him gazing at girls and being flirtatious right in front of me so YES I beleive once a cheater alwayz a cheater it just hurts to admit it! I think most people give into temptation ?

Answer 4

Sometimes people change but most of the time they don't. It is better to go by a track record and expect the worse. There is no way to tell what the future holds and if a person is honest you will see it for the most part but I have seen a person change feelings after decades of seemingly perfect marriage but something changes and they decide to go onto other things. It is normal to cheat but it doesn't make it right nor should you be subjected to a cheater. Move on to the next never go back. Only a fool will go back to the slop like a pig does.

Answer 5

I think that if they did it once than it becomes easier time after time. But there are people out there who have cheated and than find the person that they want to be with and can not stand to hurt. But that is rarer that once a cheater always a cheater because cheaters are selfish people and it is always about what they want and selfish people very rarely change

Answer 6

yes and no that depends on the person some people yes will cheat and get away with it to see how long it can go on others may have done it on the person they didn't care for and then they met the right person and never did it again. either way if you catch a cheater don't stick around the only person who gets hurt in the end is you.

Answer 7

I believe honest people can get sidetracked because i did a few times but its been 1 year since i have cheated and i feel good about it.

Answer 8

No, once a cheater, always a cheater!!! It's the danger and temptation, it's like a drug that keeps them going back for more.

Answer 9

once a cheater allways a cheater one of my friends is a cheater and i tryed to get him to stop and hes been cheating for 4 years and then he put a note on the back of my keyboard that said he would never ever quit cheating

Answer 10

I think that people can get sidetracked but more than that I think that good people can make mistakes. What is more important is what happens after they are discovered. Are they willing to make the necessary changes and do the necessary work to make things right again.

Answer 11

Hmmm that's a tough question. I think the answer depends on the person. I think some people are just gonna cheat no matter what. On the other hand, I think some good people just give into temptation because they are unhappy or unfulfilled, etc.
