For you to answer this question; you have to understand precisely what cheating entails. There isn’t a universally defined meaning for cheating…. But usually it has three elements -the element of secrecy -alchemy -and emotional attachment of some sort whether we like to admit it or not.

It may be actually having sex with another person; but it may also be about sexting anonymously on an online dating site; It is a vast definition as long as it entails the three elements stated above.

It is possible to cheat on a person you are in love with; It happens. All the time. And yes it doesn’t mean that the relationship isn’t serious… it just mean that we are choosing to break the same rules that are supposed to govern us while we are in a relationship. People often get into long term relationships /marriages unconsciously without necessarily comprehending precisely what it entails… We never have uncomfortable conversations while still experiencing the new relationship excitement stage because we often assume that everything is going to be flowery for the most part when we are dating. Well, until shit hits the fan.

When you suppress parts of yourself that weren’t usually suppressed while you were single,then you decide to get into a long term partnership with another human; you may experience one of two scenarios… You may decide ;to choose consciously; to attend to the commitment needs that entail faithful monogamy in the long run or you may practice that for a period of time; then the suppressed parts may start slithering in until you can’t help it… We often think that among other reasons…that our partners cheat on us because we aren’t particularly enough/adequate;but that’s not often true…. A person can cheat on you while it has absolutely nothing to do with you…it doesn’t often mean that they love you less…if anything ; you may be surprised that some of us do it precisely because we’ve found a person we love…and often it’s very few times that we desire what we already have…you rarely desire what you already have… The thrill of cheating is often so erotic ; you may call it one of the sweetest sins.
