"Once a cheater always a cheater" True or False?

[MissProvocateur]

And why do you believe it is so?

Is this in context of relationships?

Well, the way I see it: if a partner feels the need to cheat, they aren't happy in the relationship. When they find what they're looking for, they won't have the need to look in other places, and won't be a cheater anymore.

If they're just horny, then trust may be difficult, but this sweeping statement isn't really applicable to all cases.

There should be a teenage section on this board for this kind of nonsense

Yes, in the context of relationships, otherwise I wouldn't have posted this thread in this section.

I met plenty of grown adults who still believe in this, I don't see why it's nonesense.

Oh, good point, I didn't notice that

Is this in any context? Did something happen? :/

Not at all, just wondering. I would be the last person who would criticize cheaters, trust me.

Unless the cheater is in a perfectly stable and happy relationship, then I consider it to be wrong.

Yes, I agree with that. Cheating is a symptom of a poor relationship, but it's never a good option. Finding the problem, and trying to solve it is. Alternatively, better to just break up than to hurt everybody involved, which tends to happen with infidelity.

Some learn from their mistakes, some don't.

False, I was in a long relationship, and got to a point where I wouldn't cheat, not saying I cheated but wouldn't and didn't aren't the same thing either.
