Before I begin justifying my side, I'd ask, What makes a person cheat? And, the reasons are all evil. Either it is to revenge a cheating partner or a momentary physical or emotional attraction. It is at times simply a means to fulfill a longing desire that is extremely selfish.

Are there any more reasons to cite? Ponder and tell me one good reason that makes a person eligible to cheat.

Now, what do you call a person who shoplifts? He picks things without telling the shop owner. Why? Simply because his wants outweigh his moral values. He could ask the shop owner for what he wants and if the reasons were genuine, no one would be hard-hearted enough not to donate for a justified cause.

Same goes with cheating your partner. If we called the shoplifter a thief, the cheater is a thief, too. You too are stealing the faith and love of your partner and the new-found love just to meet your selfish desires. If not that, then perhaps to fill the void of boredom!

Now, how ethical is that? How can you look up to yourself and respect yourself ever after? If you can give in to any weak moment, you are not a person enough!

Once committed, stay committed. Don't cheat not at least till you are together. Leave your partner, and do all that you want to -openly!

Maintain transparency. Let your partner know what they lack or can do better to help save your companionship, than finding alternatives. If nothing works out, better separate.

Be strong; face it and stand up to your commitment.

Your partner may have sacrificed a lot to be with you. Honor that and be kind enough to let your partner know your intentions so as to prepare them for the forthcoming troubles ahead of time.

No way will you be respected any longer, but yes if your partner truly loves you, you may get another chance.

Control your impulses.

Control your mind, polish your conscience, awaken your wisdom and then judge the situation before taking another step in the wrong direction.

Would you really be able to respect yourself in future after having spent a night with someone else? How would you feel if your partner did the same?

If it does not affect you, chances are that you have stopped too low to be able judge the difference between right and wrong. While your partner may forgive you, you can't and will never be able forgive yourself ever after.

Cheating is and will always be an unforgivable sin.
