    Cheating seems to be getting so common. My most recent ex had to step it up a notch and sleep with 3 of my coworkers. I mean, go big or go home, right? He had the nerve last month and again last night to try to talk me into a relationship with him, haha! He is in AZ and offered to fly here monthly so we could still see each other in person. I asked him how I was supposed to trust him the other 28 days of the month and then deleted my gmail account. Cheaters don't change....not that I'm bitter or anything, haha!

    My ex-wife cheated with several men over our 5 year marriage. She had the nerve to take me to parties and introduce me to one or two of the guys she was "banging" on the side. It was her way of getting me to be ok with her going over to "rickys" house or "Joes" house because after all I met them and their girlfriends and in Joes case his wife.

    I agree people don't change once a cheater always a cheater and I beleive this is because once your cross that moral line you have convinced yourself that it is ok and it makes it much easier to cross that line again.

    -not that I am bitter...

    yes, my ex still contacts me and wants to get back together but I don't trust her I believe the only reason she talks to me is because when spousal support runs out (yes I have to pay sposual support to a cheater) next June she is going to be in trouble. She already moved her kids back in with their real dad so she is living alone enjoying the party life saddly I see her kids more than she does and I believe I have better relationships with them.

    But to answer the question "NO not all people cheat" After what happened to me I would never cheat and if I see somone cheating I step up and tell the parties involved even if it is NOT my business becuase I have been thru the hurt.

    Not all people cheat, but I've been shocked to learn how many (especially younger folks) don't think it's a big deal. After all, they say, we're human we have needs and urges that must not go unaddressed (bunk in my book!).

    Also, people's definition of cheating is different. Some people think casual dating is cheating. Some people think making out with someone else's wife/husband isn't cheating as long as there's no actual sex.

    I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you!! This is messed up in so many different ways. Cheating on you with men who have wives and girlfriends?! She has no morals. Good riddance!!

    She has no morals.
    Bah. Morals is a pure construct of our minds (unlike for example pain or hunger that are real - which are inherently bad), and isn't even consistent depending on the individuals and society.

    I couldn't care less if people think I have no morals...

    Yup...and it's getting more acceptable and common I think.

    I don't know that it's getting more acceptable to cheat. I just think people are not entirely honest with themselves or each other anymore. These days, there are so many FWB situations and casual hookups going on that one party thinks they are in an exclusive relationship, and the other party thinks it is just sex, so they go out and sleep with someone else and get accused of cheating.

    Then some people justify cheating by telling themselves "Well, I'm going to break up with him/her anyway, so it's not really cheating." It's not that anyone thinks it's okay, it's just that people seem to find it easier these days to make excuses for it.
