if a person cheats on there spouse what are the chances it will carry on to the next relationship?

Question

cheaters

Answer 1

It depends on the person. Some people grow up and develop more respect for others feelings, some don't!

Answer 2

It depends on the person and the relationship. If the person who cheating was already being cheated on then there is a good chance that in their mind this is what it takes to end the relationship not a piece of paper called a divorce. When two people honestly love each other and discuss everything and are really willing to respect each other and work for the same things in life then a relationship like this stands a good chance. A man or woman who has an affair with someone else who is living with someone else has a slim chance of having a faithful person to love later on.

Answer 3

I think Dr. Phil has best answered this question...

The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour.

If cheating is something that someone finds morally acceptable (which if they do it once they do) then they are very likely to do it again. Nothing is a hard and fast rule here, but the odds are certainly in favour of them repeating it in a new relationship.

People cheat for a number of reasons, but none of them are valid. You hear people say I cheated because I was mistreated. Well you know what, the answer to being mistreated is to end the relationship, not embark on a new one behind their back!

You can't say with any certainty that someone who has cheated before will automatically do it again, but then, who is to say someone who has never cheated wouldn't do it if they situation presented itself.

Life is a gamble, the only thing to do is take a look at the odds. It's like horse racing, you look at the form, what the horse has done in previous races, see what the bookies think by examining the odds and decide where to bet. A person who has cheated doesn't have good form, their previous races weren't too hot and the odds are not in their favour!

Answer 4

Sometimes people cheat because they truly are in love with another person. If that is the case I would say no the cheating would carry over to the next. However the majority of people cheat because they get bored with what they've got. In this case the cheating will definitely carry over again and again.

Answer 5

The real question may be whether the person can honor himself/herself? Do you honor yourself if you commit to a relationship and then break that commitment? If you learn the meaning of commitment, and learn the meaning of honor, then there should be no "cheating". The question then becomes whether the person has learned to honor his/her commitments. Perhaps the strongest moral imperative is to not hurt others. Will a cheating spouse hurt his/her partner? You bet. This is not honorable. If a spouse wants to "cheat", get divorced and begin a new relationship...or a series of relationships. Why get married if you're not ready to commit.

Answer 6

chances of them doing the same thing are good, because when the next relationship disapoints them, and there are problems, it may be just his way, to keep moving on to someone else without ever trying to work it out with anyone. usually once a cheater always a cheater, happened with my first husband, he cheated on me, and continued to cheat on his next wife. that was his way i presume of handeling things.

Answer 7

Depends on too many factors like:
a) what was the reason and the relationship
b)was it for the first time and did that person take that as something painful for both sides, something to avoid in future or not
c)the person- his/her values and those in his surrounding/society, psychological health, ability to restrain simple impulses, respect, culture
d) how many times did that happen- some say that if something happened twice it will happen again

Answer 8

It actually depends on ther person. I have cheated before and when I saw how much it hurt that person, I never cheated again. Plus What goes around comes around and the next 3 guys cheated on me. So I got to feel the way I made that person feel and it sucks. So quit cheating before you really hurt someone you love.

Answer 9

o, such a bulls'h'i't!. if current spouse sucks and u re bored to death and start cheating it doesn't mean if later u find the perfect match u will continue cheating. this myth about once a cheater always a cheater was invented by fat ugly wives (or husbands) who re boring losers

Answer 10

past behavior is prediction of future behavior.. unless the cheater wants to stop acting that way he or she wont... and no one can change someone they have to change there selves..
