Do women in great relationships cheat? What do you think?

Permalink Reply by Shoreen on April 21, 2008 at 6:54pm: If a woman is in a great relationship, why the heck would she want to cheat?
She would be taking a big chance of losing what she has. Would be dumb.; ▶ Reply to This

If it is a great relationship, what are the positive things making it a great relationship? If it is a great relationship, it would seem then, that she would not have a need to cheat.
Women who are not in great relationships and feel there is more out there, the old saying, the grass may be greener, may then want to explore to see if there is something better.
A woman considering exploring (cheating) who is not in a great relationship just seems to make a bit more sense. Her needs may not be met in a not so good relationship, regarding attention, affection, respect etc. She may not feel special anymore and may want to feel that way again.; ▶ Reply to This

Men can cheat because of physical attraction, but women are looking for emotional connection...; ▶ Reply to This

If it has gotten that stale or sour, maybe it's time to move on. Maybe the relationship has evolved to a point and then has gotten stale.
I wouldn't like to be cheated on, like most of us, so why do it to someone else?
It doesn't make sense to cheat if you wouldn't want it done to you.
There is the "golden rule" that if everyone lived by, it would sure improve this world and many relationships -
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

That is pretty good Universal advice I would think.

take care.

The best to all of you ladies !; ▶ Reply to This

I wouldn't think it is much of a relationship. There can't be autonomy that way, with a commitment from each of them to each other.
I wouldn't think that if people cheat, they have a really strong love and caring for one another.
I wouldn't like the thought of someone I was in love with being naked w someone else. Many women I know feel the same way and would leave their guy if he cheated. If people don't want to be cheated on and find out they are in a relationship where it is taking place, they should move on to someone more committed to them and find what they want instead.
There is also another issue, that if people do cheat, they can pick up STD's to give to their partner which isn't a very nice thing to do.; ▶ Reply to This

But maybe some of them can be happy in the open relationships... Does anyone has an experience in this?; ▶ Reply to This
