I know it is possible, but I don't think there is any reason to cheat. I do not understand how someone could say, "I couldn't help it," about cheating. Falling in love is another matter.
Please people, have respect for your significant other! Let them know you have fallen for another person and leave them, don't cheat! If it is not love, then it is not worth leaving. See if you can talk it out.
I love my wife, I couldn't imagine ever cheating on her, and I NEVER, EVER, EVER, will. If she ever fell in love with another guy, I would feel terrible, but I respect her and would let her go. If she cheated on me, I would lose all respect for her and she would only really see me to pick up or drop off our child(currently not born yet), that is just how I am. I know she would never cheat on me, though.
We've been married for a year and a half, but we've been together for 8 years. She's pregnant(with my baby :P) now and I'm so excited!

I believe that you can truly love more then one person. But if you truly loved your spouse you shouldn't cheat. Because when you cheat you are hurting that person. If you love them why hurt them. So if you have an affair, I think there is something going on - maybe you still love your spouse, but not enough to keep you from cheating.

I think it is possible to love both your spouse and the person you are cheating with. A few years ago, I was in a long-distance relationship and I ended up cheating. I loved both of the guys, but they fulfilled different emotional needs. I'm not condoning cheating in any way. In fact, the whole experience made me feel awful and I've been single ever since. I hate when it gets that confusing, but I think that sort of thing can infiltrate marriages too.

I believe that could only happen if the person doesn't truly love their spouse. If they really did love their spouse then they wouldn't hurt them by cheating on them.

No. It's a delusion. Love isn't out in the world. It's in you and either you know how to reach it or you don't and the grass is always greener. Looking for love in all the wrong places. Study Emotional Intelligence. It's used in a lot of things so you have to sift through it, else your emotions will lead you all your life into bad decisions instead of you leading it. Emotions blind our logic and ability to see love up front and in your face. When your spouse learns about love also you'll make Romeo and Juliet role over in their graves. If we continue not to understand life and love we will continue to be unhappy and unappreciative.

I think there are a lot of people out there confused about what they really want and their carnal instincts just sort of drive them to do unloyal things, these ppl cheat. Others do it b/c they are bored. I do think a person can truely love someone and still cheat on them actually if I were in a relationship with someone that I was in love with but he was like... um, sexually impaired well then I might like to find a partner who I can get on with better. And I guess that means I would be doing it for my partner in a way, because I wouldn't want to leave someone I truely love, but if were not having sex I need to find another source if you will.

No, because if they "truly loved the other person" they would leave their spouse for them. They usually say they will, and they NEVER do.

People shouldnt cheat ever! They should just leave the person if they really dont want to continue their relationship! There is no need for the extra pain, feeling unworthy...just dump the other one

Not with my definition of love... and at a guess 90% of the time.. if someone says that.. it's just a line.. hell probably more than 90%... but it's possible that someone could have a definition of "love" that could bring them to that warped logic and they could actually believe this.

a person could not cheat on their partner if they truly love their partner but if you are not in a loving relationship i can see why it wouldnt be difficult to get tempted
