If you've ever cheated on someone why did you do it?

boredom or the lack of emotional stimulation. (real people have that effect) I didnt feel bad when I consider my reason. but I do feel remorse for inflicting pain upon the other person even if they've gotten over it today. I did but it was never a labeled relationship (cant handle official labels) ; but then I tend to like things from a distance so I ended up finding renewed appeal in the bond again--after a few rounds it ended for good and basically the main reason for that was that 'elastic' boredom got replaced by resentment.

Never cheated in my life and I never intend to do so. If I'm with someone and I'm not really feeling it with them anymore or I like someone else more or whatever the reason may be that leads most people to cheat, I've always chosen to just end the relationship there and then. I don't know what people get out of cheating, I've certainly never understood it - in my opinion, if you're not feeling faithful towards your partner anymore then the nicest and most honest thing to do is to just end it there and then.

Relationships are wonderful but complicated and I've had my share of romance so there's not really a clear cut answer. I've had a couple relationships where I was growing apart from the other person emotionally as I began to have feelings for someone else. So I guess I was cheating because I was planning on moving on while the other person had no clue. But all those relationships had other issues. It wasn't that I was just suddenly interested in someone else. Like, the first guy I dated was...physically incompatible with me. He was a foot and a half taller than I am and everything was, y'know, proportional, so it was like a Great Dane trying to get it on with a Chihuahua. It just never would have worked. There was another guy I was in a long distance relationship with. We met on a classic gaming forum and grew close. Near the end of our relationship, I was starting to have complicated feelings for one of my college classmates who was my best friend at my university. The last time we met, it was spring break and I went to his state to visit him but towards the end of the trip, I kept thinking about my friend. This was only the third time my then boyfriend and I had met in person and we were about to have sex for the first time but everything felt really wrong and unsatisfying and I couldn't get my college friend out of my head so I stopped him before anything happened; it would have been unfair to him to continue at that point. The very next day, I went back to Texas and the day after that, I ended up having sex with my friend, who then asked me to be his girlfriend. It wasn't until later that I found out that during the nearly two years we'd known each other, that he'd actually had a girlfriend. So, I ended up cheating either way, albeit unknowingly. There were a lot of fights and drama because of it but in the end, we dated for about two and a half years and were really happy until the last few months of the relationship. I was feeling unsatisfied with a myriad of things and chose to end it. And now I'm here! And for fuck's sake, I hope the next one sticks because love is thrilling and fantastic but I'm also super exhausted. -_-

A few of you cannot seem to answer why you didn't just break up with them.

Cheaters are just scum, voss. People who are scum don't want to believe they're scum.
