If you find yourself in a committed relationship why would you feel the need to cheat? If you are with the person you are supposed to be in love with why do you seek other opportunities? Well my friends I am going to give you some facts and little tid bits about my experiences with this topic.

Cheating should be no way considered an option for anyone. However cheating is the main cause of break ups today in relationships. I have not figured out if it is because people are not happy or they just want a new challenge. Lets be realistic for a second here, once you are in a serious relationship the challenge is gone. You feel that you dont have to work for what you have, it is yours and no one is going to take it from you. The sex gets old and repetitious, you begin to fight about stupid things, and basically the huge spark you had in the beginning becomes just a small lifeless flame. So in the end some see fit to seek another challenge to be wild and crazy. Some also blame it on the consumption of alcohol and other people. Yeah that does not sit well with me! Regardless of how much alcohol you have consumed and what your friends tell you to do, think before you act! Most of the time your innocent love one is at home still loving you and waiting for your call or to come home. Is this fair? I think not!

If you feel that you need to spice up your relationship then you should talk to your partner. If you are together and working toward being happy then there is not reason why you should not try and improve your sex life or anything else that is making you feel that your relationship is getting old. Odds are if you are not happy then your partner is probably feeling the same way. If you absolutely have exhausted all measures to try and make your relationship better and it has not improved, then you should really think about ending your time together. Cheating should never ever be considered. Even if you have obstacles that you feel you need to stay and cheating will solve the emptiness you feel, it wont! In the long run it will make it matters worse and escalate into more problems.

I myself have never cheated on my partner; however I have been cheated on. Let me tell you as a person who has suffered the pain and hurt of my partners actions, it sucks! The feeling that you get when you find out, or in my case walk in on. It stabs you in the heart and you begin to die from the inside out. This is not an exaggeration by any stretch of the imagination. I find myself always
