Once a Cheater, Always a Cheater?

[furie]

I do agree with Tay on this one.

People assign different moral priorities to different things. Somebody who is an academic perfectionist could also be a hedonist. For them, they wouldn't consider for an instant cheating to prove themselves academically but would more than happily cheat on a low "quality" physical relationship to satisfy their desire.

Everyone has different priorities and will cheat or not cheat accordingly.

It would be wrong for me to say that I've never cheated on something before. If anybody said they didn't cheat in their life would without a doubt be a lie. While it may be true that the consequences for cheating on that board game and cheating in a relationship are way different, cheating on that board game can and usually will develop a habit of cheating on assignments in school, in relationships, and in business. I'm not trying to be Mr. Holy, I'm just trying to make a point. By doing it a few times when you're a kid, one grows up with the idea that it's alright to do in other circumstances.

^ Um sorry, but I can't agree that innocent cheating on a board game leads to cheating in a relationship. Brad cheats like I've never seen anyone cheat before at Monopoly, and I don't exactly worry that because he wants to win a board game, he's gonna go off and cheat on me with another girl. In a circumstance like stealing where it starts out small and escalates I can understand, but there's no way I agree with you that small-scale cheating in games leads to cheating on a significant other and I don't think there's many people that would agree with you.

Like Furie said, it's all about where things are on your moral priority scale...

I mean everyone has the potential to cheat depending on how they assess the situation, for example if the relationship was in their mind over they wouldn't think twice. But then they might find someone they truely respect and are happy with and it wouldn't happen again... But some people just aren't ever going to find someone (i.e those with ridiculous criteria or a crazy notion of perfection) and they will always cheat... they will always get to that place.... or they might have the sense to break it off before giving in to temptation

You just have to go into things on a case by case basis... if someone has cheated on someone else in the past they aren't 100% sure to cheat on you...

Yes. Old habits die hard and all that.

People suck. I hate them.

^ Yeah, **** them. I'm a dragon.

Personally I'm seeing this on both Taylor's and Antinos' sides. Although it is innocent and everything I do agree it can start some sort of escalation into exams, tazes and ralationships and ****. Maybe getting rid of it is down completely to one's own moral fabric and crap and how it affects other people and how they feel towards that but meh. It's probably worth thinking more about the other person who is getting cheated on and how they will react as to whether they'll cheat again.

If some dude cheats on this neurotic and slightly not there dudette and she flips out and starts chasing him threatening to bludgeon them with a heavy object and having him walk with a spastic limp for the rest of his life then he may or may not cheat again. Would be interesting to see. Anyone wanna try it and find out if the other half will beat the **** out of you to within an inch of your life?

^ Whoa, a post from Kim longer than one line, that is actually relevant to the topic.

Was the change in your pocket not enough? Sorry, that was the first thing that popped into my head lol.

Srslynao, i happen to agree with the phrase "once a cheater, always a cheater". Ive been the person being cheated upon in my past two relationships, so i really dont want to put anyone else through that kind of drama.

Now then, Ive cheated before, but that was on tests, homework and the sort. Yea, wasnt worth it at all...gotta love working low paying jobs d(^,^)b
