WARNING! The following is the ranting, raving and carrying on of an abused, jaded, NICE guy, who continually gets trampled and walked all over. You have been warned.

Why do people cheat? I have asked myself this question many a lonely night. I honestly couldnt tell you. But do you know what the WORST reasoning is? The most common one...

"It... Just... Happened..."

WHAT THE &$#%?!?! Did you SLIP and land on a PENIS?

Sex doesnt "Just happen"... PIMPLES "Just happen"...

I will be the first to admit that I am a jaded bastard. I am only 18 too. Crazy eh? I have had four girlfriends over the course of my life thus-far, and do you know how many cheated on me?

Here is a clue. How many FINGERS do you have on your left hand?

And how many were with my best friends at the time? Only ONE short of all of them. To be fair though, the one that DIDNT scew my best friend at the time when we were dating, screwed him AFTER we broke up.

Getting more on topic though, I have heard a afair amount of reasons as to why someone cheats. One being the thrill. I have known female friends who have been cheating on their boyfriends. For a while I didnt care. I decided, "Hey. Not my problem. No need to get involved," but that only lasted for so long. Anyway, one friend told me it was because she got off on the risk of being caught. How sick is that?

I actually knew a girl who, for the sake of the article, we will call Kay. Because that is her name. Anyway, Kay actually cheated on a guy with his BEST friend, and then tried to convince the BEST friend to CALL The guy and have a phone convorsation while they were having sex. How twisted is that?

Now. That is the terrible reasoning out of the way. It isnt ALWAYS that bad. Take, for example, the "I dont love him any more" reasoning. This is in NO way right, but atleast she doesnt turn around and tell the guy she loves him afterwords, right? The logical choice is OBVIOUSLY to break up with the first guy. Atleast that is how I see it. But maybe the girl (or guy... I should say or guy... guys cheat too...) is to afraid of hurting their partner to end it. I guess, in a backwards, counterproductive way, that can be considered the SLIGHTLY more noble of the reasons to cheat. Pathetic all the same, but still.

Yes. In case you havent guessed, I have quite the grudge built up here. I just really wanted to rant about nothing in perticualr as opposed to a smooth, well written article. Hell, I got my heart broken, the least I can ask for out of it is the four dollars I am going to make on this article right?
