do you think that people change?

Yes I do.
People can change but it normally too hard for them. If a person has cheated on you - you will never trust them again. They will always be "cheating" on you in your mind.

Ha - let's see if I can get two Best Answers in a row with the same thing:
On the whole, I don't. I mean, it's not fair to apply that in other situations, right? Do you say "once a thief, always a thief" and never trust somebody who shoplifted a pack of gum in first grade even though they learned their lessons and haven't stolen since? Do you say "once a rapist, always a rapist" even though the basis for the rape charge was that he was 19 and she was 17? Do you say "once a killer, always a killer" and treat the man who shot a burglar in self-defense as if he were no different from Jeffrey Dahmer or the BTK guy?
There will be some people out there who simply don't see what is wrong with having romantic and/or sexual encounters with multiple people, and will chafe at the idea of having to "pick one and stick with it", and thus will find it very difficult to do so. But I think compared to the general population of folks who have committed infidelity, those people are in the minority. If there are repeat offenses, then it's more likely that the repeat cheating is because the person isn't happy in THIS PARTICULAR RELATIONSHIP - not because s/he is inherently a "cheater" and would sleep around no matter to whom she was purportedly committed.

YES! At first I thought that people can change, in particular a "cheater", but that is a false statement. Once a cheater always a cheater. The temptation will come back to them.

No, I don't believe once a cheater always a cheater is always the case. Some people yes, some no! As far as changing, it all depends on the person.

Once a cheater, always a cheater. I do know people change, but usually only after they have hit rock bottom & have nowhere else to go but up. I don't think cheaters EVER change - they will do it again if the opportunity presents itself.

People change but not easily, especially when it comes to fidelity. Once a cheater? He had a good time with another woman...twice a cheater? He wants to continue the good time. Yep, once a cheater, always a cheater.

Once a cheater is not necessarily always a cheater but I do think it is very hard and takes alot of time to trust the cheater again once they have cheated.

that's a word used with the help of those who want to oversimplify the concern so as that they could no longer might want to seem at themselves and detect what they're responsible for in a relationship. some each body is undemanding cheaters, convinced. yet some people cheat for one of those different motives, a lot of that are by using at least something severe lacking from their relationship. In those situations, to assert, "once a cheater, continuously a cheater" is a way for the different social gathering to conceal and stay away from taking duty for the failings that they have got executed incorrect.

Well, I am wondering why this question is in the "singles and dating" section, but I will answer your question.
it would be a bit true, because once you cheat, and dont get cought, or somtimes even if you do get cought, you will always think of it as the easy way out. for example, a student working on a quiz: "im not sure i understand, so ill just copy from my friend."
instead of doing it the hard way.
if you dont get caught, then you are "sure" it works, and you dont have to study again!
if you do get caught, somtimes you will learn your lesson, but somtimes you willjust try better next time.
and if you do that, isnt it funny that you try harder on cheating then you would if you didnt cheat?
so, yes, i would say, that most of the time, once a cheater, alwats a cheater.

yes, once a cheater, always a cheater.
Cheaters usually find it easier to do it again after they've done it the first time, figuring that they're already guilty, might as well keep enjoying it. Don't believe anyone that tells you otherwise, they're simply liars.

No I do not believe the saying. I for one have cheated one a boyfriend or two and can say truthfully I havent cheated on my son's father since we've been together 2.5 years. So I believe Once you found the right one a once cheater can be a honest truthful person.
