Would you stand by a cheater?

Question

Would you ever cheat on a spouse?

Answer 1

No and no.

Answer 2

No.

Answer 3

No way, on both counts.

Answer 4

If she comes to me and tells me straight-up about a one-time mistake that she made with somebody and seems sincere that it won't happen again, I'd think about giving her a second chance.  But typically, no I wouldn't.  

Answer 5

No, there is no way I could.  I battle trust issues to begin with, so to find out my spouse cheated on me, that would be the end.  No second chances from me.  I never, ever would cheat on my spouse.  If I felt so terribly in a relationship to the point I felt I actually might cheat, I would end it and move on.  The hurt caused from a break up could never amount to the pain someone would feel after being cheated on.

Answer 6

No, I wouldn't stand by a cheater.

No, I would never cheat on my spouse.

Answer 7

I would never cheat. But I would stand by my husband as long as he were honest and willing to get help. Would I be happy at the time no. It would take a lot of work and counseling but if he wanted to work on it I would. I wont give up on my marriage that easily.

Answer 8

h**l no, once a cheater is always a cheater. I would never do that to someone I love.

Answer 9

I wouldn't stand by a cheater because a cheater wouldn't stand by me.

Answer 10

I wouldn't cheat, but I might stand by a reformed cheater.  Not a chronic cheater.

Answer 11

No and No

Answer 12

I took a vow to never do that when we were married. If I wanted to cheat, I wouldn't have gotten married. Once you start, you don't quit.

Answer 13

I think I could let one occasion go, but make it clear that the second time he cheats will be the end of the relationship, and I would stick to that. I think everyone makes mistakes and should be given one chance to reform, if they want it.

As for cheating myself, I don't think so. I've not been dishonest up to now, and I consider cheating immoral. But I would accept we can't predict the future, or understand what pressures will happen years later, so I couldn't say for sure. I'm sure at least half the people who do cheat never thought they would at the start either.

Answer 14

I wouldn't stand by a cheater - but I could possibly stand by a person who had cheated.

And no - I wouldn't cheat.  People say you can't ever say that - but I don't agree.  If you don't, at least, say it or believe it - how in the world can you expect to remain loyal in the face of temptation?  A person has to take a stand - and thats mine - I won't ever cheat.

Answer 15

I would never cheat on my husband. I expect the same from him. If he did cheat on me, there is no way I would be able to stay with him. I could not look at him the same way.  

Answer 16

No, I wouldn't. And I wouldn't expect him to stand by me if I were caught cheating, either.

Answer 17

h**l No! If I was a cheater I would be named dishonorable, and I would have a hard time getting back my honor. It's the same if a man cheats. (Egyptian culture)

Answer 18

I would never cheat - and I can't imagine being able to forgive something that horrible.

Answer 19

I tried to stand by my ex-husband, but as soon as he got comfortable again with me, he was out cheating over and over.  Once a cheater, always a cheater.  No, I would never cheat as I know what it feels like.
