"Wove...true wove..."

I cheated once, out of insecurities.

I am not excusing myself, but you have no idea how my upbringing has been, or what I've been through prior to that situation.

I've made mistakes, cheating was probably one of the worst things I've ever done, but I'm not like that ne more.

I am rather promiscious today, but I don't consider myself as sexually irresponsible as others.

so your insecurities led to you cheating. we all have our insecurities. having insecurities is no reason to go sleeping around. i am not judging you, really i am not. but you should have tried to talk it out with him. you should have went to him and explained what you were insecure about, maybe he could have helped you through it. then he could have ravaged you like a jungle animal. 😄

People change....

but you are right...what I did was wrong, cowardly, and immature. I am not the same person I was two years ago. I hurt someone I loved very badly....I feel bad enough. But I already forgave myself for ****ing things up, I will not dwell on it now.

Who knows...maybe today the two of us would still be together...maybe id be a lot happier today with him....

I'd probly be having sex with him..no...making love to him.....instead of ****ing around with a bunch of guys i just met in school like i have for the past 6 weeks

Plain and simple.. If a relationship breaks, it simply did not have enough love to keep together.. If the love is true, nothing can break you apart..

Preach the romance, do it!

Hehe.. Indeed.. I ended up having this discussion at other locations, where some tried countering the statement..

"What if one cheats? That's not something that should just be forgiven."

"What about distance (Both timewise and milewise)? If the distance is too long, and the time between meetings are too far?"

I find my philosophy rather simple, and functional to the limit.

i agree on the cheating part. that is totally unforgiveable.

Well, if one cheats, then it's not true love.. If two people love eachother, then there will be no cheating..

why am i unsurprised that you are only eighteen? i'm guessing you also have some level of religious affiliation...?

things are much, much more complicated than you're implying.

I am atheistic..

And what does age matter? Why is it more complicated than that? Expound your statement, please. I might be 18, but that does not mean I do not have clues about life.

I do not get what you mean..
If one cheats, it can still be true love?
Or do you mean that cheating is a natural cause and should not be prevented.. Expound, please..

What you and Rogue Jedi are implying is that people who break up weren't truly in Love.

You do not have the experience or knowledge to truly know that...how can you speak for every single couple on the planet ?

How do you know the lives and minds of every single person, that you can argue that if you truly are in Love, then you will not break up ?

People cheat for different reasons...not simply because they "weren't in love"....

Open your minds people...Love and relationships are far more diverse than you imagine.

what we are implying is that if someone cheats, their love was strong enough, and it was not meant to be.

But you don't know that....people cheat for different reasons....some of them having nothing to do with how much they love their partner.

If I cheated on someone to save thier life...did I not love them ?

If I cheated on someone because I have a sex addiction (which does exist)....did I not love them ?

If I cheated on someone because my lover abuses me...does that mean I didn't love him/her enough ?

Things aren't as black and white as you imply...
