i've been with my boyfriend for 16months, he used to live on the island next to the island i live on which is a lot smaller, so they have to move over here for college..
so yeah the first 6months we didnt see each other much obviously cos he lived there and he cheated quite a lot, i was stupid for taking him back i know.. but since he's moved here things have been a lot better :-) even though i have found out he's intended to cheat a couple times i can't bring myself to end it, i think i would if i had proof of him actually having sex with another girl.. like if he admitted it or something but mehh shit happens, theres a lot worse things in life that could happen to someone!

My ex-boyfriend cheated on me; we'd been together for around two years (out of an eventual four) when he met up with my best friend of the time, a bloke called Greg, and arranged to have sex with him. My ex-boyfriend insists that it can't be classified as cheating, and said that it was 'experimental' and that it would 'prove whether or not he was homosexual'. He met up with Greg one day when I was really ill, but told me he was just going into town with him to pick up a video game.
He later confessed that his cheating was inspired by me not being sexually active/'fun' enough for him, as well as sexual confusion.
After he'd admitted what he'd done, I did take him back. I think couples can work through something as damaging as cheating, but that it takes a lot of time and a huge investment of trust. In my case, I was silly to take him back because he clearly needed time as a young, single man to get some self-exploration in without the risk of hurting anyone ... what he needed was a supportive friend, but he wouldn't let me be one.
Mostly, cheating's sad because the victim ends up feeling guilty and responsible. It's difficult to deal with it because you have to find a balance of self-respect and understanding that everyone has needs and everyone makes mistakes. It's easy to say, "if I were ever cheated on I'd definitely walk" but until it's happening to you they're just empty words.
I'd love to be able to say that nobody should stay in a relationship if their partner has cheated on them, but some things are worse to hear than others and where do you draw the line? Some people are willing to forgive their partner for a drunken kiss, and some - like my former self - will go as far as accepting that arranging to have sex with another man, given the circumstances, is reasonable. It's always going to be circumstantial and governed by emotions/fear of losing someone.

If not, do it. I'm beginning to get the impression that 50% of TF is populated by literate parrots/sentient mirrors.
One of my childhood "relationships" (I still don't acknowledge ever having a girlfriend) ended because she continued to flash on webcam to other people.

Yikes; if that's cheating, I'm in trouble... since that's my job. lol
