Are there people in this world who don't cheat on thier partner?

I'm 37 years old. In all my years of dating I've never, ever cheated and only once have I had someone cheat on me. Not everyone cheats. I know it's scary to trust someone with your heart, but it's usually worth the risk.

 

Cheating is one thing I would NEVER do. It's never okay, no matter how horrible your partner is, you don't betray someone like that. If you don't love them, break up first, THEN date. Cheating just makes you an untrustworthy scumbag*.

*There was one instance where a friend of mine cheated on his long-term gf in a one-night stand with a girl he thought had a terminal disease. He felt horrible for it, apologized to her many times. She actually forgave him for it, and they're still together. I'll give him a pass from being called a scumbag, because he really is a good guy.

 

I went with a guy for a week when me and my girlfriend a few years back 'broke up' when she moved. And then she came back and acted like my girlfriend again and I went with it. If that makes me a cheater then I guess I am one, but I always say/said that I would NEVER cheat.

 

25 years old, and I've never cheated. I've had multiple partners at once, as I am polyamorous, but they were all aware of what was going on... usually I'm the one getting cheated on, which is rather annoying. : P

 

I've never cheated on anyone no matter how poorly they treated me in a relationship. I treat people the way I want to be treated. Unfortunately I have been cheated on a number of times. The worst being when my ex boyfriend (when I dated boys in high school) slept with my best friend at the time and got her pregnant shortly after. But not everyone is like that. I'm happy to say I'm finally in a relationship where I'm not worried about my girlfriend cheating on me.

 

I'd never cheat on my partner. I have trust issues, so I know how hard it can be to be cheated on or lied to, which is why I'd never do it to anyone I cared about, especially a partner.

 

Growing up I always cheated or have been cheated on and it's put me off dating coz I was afraid that I might go back to my old habits and that's when I met someone who has really made me better person and I've not once thought of hooking up with anyone else and the way things are going now, I don't think I ever will

 

I've never cheated on anyone. My girlfriend is into the bdsm scene though and she goes pretty far with her mistress, I'm still on the fence about that.

 

I would never cheat, I am too much of a loyal person

 

No idea if this is true...but I've heard it said that some guys are, by nature, incapable of monogamy. Other guys--possibly a minority--are wired to be relationship minded, and committed to their partner. The trick: make sure your "wiring" aligns with that of your partner.

I can say I'd be 100% faithful...and I've been celibate long enough to suggest that I can avoid temptation!

 

Sorry. But I did try.:tears:

I have heard of very committed couples... It can happen. Even in a culture that seems to be the Hookup of the Day. Or even Hookup of the Five Minutes.

For a number of reasons, today I guess I could well stay celibate the rest of my life. But...one never knows for sure. That special someone might come along.

 

Not all guys cheat. My boyfriend and I have been together for over 7 months now and we are totally committed and faithful to one another and we plan to stay that way. To make things even harder, we are currently in a long distance relationship, but I'll be moving to his city in a couple of weeks. It's been difficult and challenging because we can't be together all the time to meet each others' needs, but we have stayed faithful. I would agree that you need to ensure that your partners' values are the same as yours from the outset. After a few dates, I told him I was a complete monogamist and he told me he was the same and that settled it.

Don't get discouraged because I remember I did when I first started dating. Guys just wanted to be with me to get a quick fix and I wasn't into that, so it was difficult. The right guy will come along. It just might take a bit of time, but believe me, you'll find him. I never thought I would and I did.

 

33 years old, married almost 11 years, never even came close

There's definitely different thinking when it comes to relationships I'm sure. I've always had a pretty straightforward mindset of monogamy when thinking of who I want to be with. Even though I haven't found anyone yet, I know what I like in someone and don't really care to go anywhere with someone I don't feel right with.

Listening to people where I work too, its as if they don't even try to hide affairs and are just careless. I can't respect someone that does that.
