Why do people cheat?

And you know another reason a lot of guys cheat?
Because they can.
If I had one gallon of tank space for every woman I have either known or heard about who "takes back" a guy after he cheats/abuses/rapes/leaves etc etc, then I would be giving the Georgia Aquarium a run for its money.
Why is it that when someone hurts you bad, you can't just cut the tie and move on with your life? I never quite understood that. And I'm not saying it's just women, just saying that seems to be the majority.
And to the person who said they thought that God wants a man and a woman to be together... Do you really believe that human nature, and instinctual desires to procreate have nothing to do with cheating? To me that seems like a stretch, even with God calling the shots.

Seems to me you have never truly been in love with someone...
HUMANS...make mistakes...sometimes hurtful ones...are all of you saying that once someone makes a mistake that person can never be redeemed....if that is the case, why do we have counselors? or AA.....or any of those programs
...SOME people CAN and DO change....I have seen it ....I'm not just talking adulterers....people get off drugs, learn to live lawfully...I can go on...but I think you got the point

I'm not saying that people don't turn things around every now and again. I think we have all seen the well documented success stories of some of those who have done just that.
But i'd be willing to bet that for every one person who does turn things around, you have 10 who don't.
And what's love got to do with it? You think that a man deserves a second, third, fourth chance for doing the same thing over and over? I used to volunteer at a shelter in Columbus when I was in college, and I can't tell you how many times I had to see the same women walk through the doors after they just got their face smashed in for the third time that month, and you know why they told us they wouldn't leave him?
Because "I love him".
Hmmm...

I'm not talking about repetitive people....nor am I referring to all people....Just that there are some people out there that CAN and DO change

I could write on this topic all day. But don't have the time now.
I will answer your question Clemson however.
When those people say "Because I love him"....you need to read what they are really saying. They are saying, because I love the idea that someone would want to be with me. I love the idea that my worthless self actually has someone that is with me.
These people are programmed at an early age to hate or dislike themselves...therefore any attention from someone they latch on to...that attention usually starts good...but then turns into bad...but as long as they are getting the attention from the person that first took interest in them, they think they love that person.
Will say more on this subject when I have time.

HIV is a disease that causes AIDS. HIV does not kill people. HIV weakens the immune system so other diseases (not AIDS) can kill people. There are 29 different diseases that can be considered AIDS. They are only considered AIDS when the body is believed to have protective disease fighting proteins or antibodies that are thought to be associated with HIV.
For example, if you have HIV and then get sick from pneumonia, you have AIDS. If you don't have HIV and get sick from pneumonia, you have pneumonia.
AIDS is in fact a syndrome. AIDS stands for "acquired immunodeficiency syndrome"
However, it is more of a classification than anything.

Pez...My only point is that if a person cheats they can kill someone with something besides a gun....break up if you must but don't cheat. I just say AIDS to shorten a 10 minute explanation.
A+ on your studies...

No, I do not think that "procreating", be it consciously or sub-consiously, has anything whatsoever to do with cheating. I can think of a lot of reasons, but procreating is not on the agenda when one decides to cheat on their spouse.
Cheating is more in the gratification category. The here and now, pleasure, possibly the thrill of the elusiveness/secrecy. Lions going at it might be thinking offspring, but not humans.

Yes, I know. I was asking: "What are the characteristic set of symptoms and signs for Aids."

It WEAKENS the immune system, it doesn't reduce it. Is that a symptom? So you can go in the doctor and say, "I need help, my immune system is reduced. It is smaller than usual."
No, Aids itself is not a disease because it does not have its own set of characteristic conditions.
Susceptible. Learn to spell.
