    I can say that anyone has experienced being cheated on or has cheated in a marriage would never want to go through it again unless they were in an extremely bad marriage or just have no conscience.

    Affairs are the most destructive thing that can happen in a marriage. If you don’t want to be divorced or you don’t want to put your partner through extreme pain don’t cheat! If you get caught, you will cause loads of pain to everyone around you.

    Even if you do not get caught the lack of honesty in the marriage will like likely destroy it anyway. And you have to live with the guilt for the rest of your life.

    ecw is right and I've seen it happen many times before.

    The problem is that most married people shouldn't be married in the first place. They only get married to curb their insecurites.

    Awww, you're really sweet. I wish that you find your soul mate one day too.

    And you're right about meeting bad ones along the way. As the old saying goes ''You have to kiss a lot of frogs, before you find your prince.'' :)

    Anyway enough of this mushy talk, It will ruin my DP gangsta reputation. :p

    I've never cheated but I've been cheated on.

    And I am not amongst those who would say "the first one" was the best.

    But I don't usually talk about that ancient crap. :p

    If I'm going to get married I will take it very seriously. For me marriage is something that is very important in a family, one factor that binds a family. Getting married is being with the one you love and who loves you and will be together for the rest of your lives no matter what. ('',)

    Good thinking. We learn from other's mistakes. To lead happy life in society we must bound to certain regulations irrespective of country we stay. Boundations nothing but a discipline to march towards happiness in rhythmic way! Irregular relations are not a fruitful relations.

    I respect your ideology!

    Society has changed a lot from the times of our parents and grandparents. Mella nailed it by saying it comes down to respect. Where ever there is respect onto others, there is friendship, happiness and love. Not only in terms of a spouse, but your friends, collgeues, parents and family. In marriage you become one, by cheating not only are you not respecting your spouse, but you are not respecting yourself. As soon as you loose respect for yourself how are you going to respect anyone around you? I've seen what cheating has done to many people. The hurt is tremondous, especially on kids. When I get married, OR , when I settle down I will make sure I work at my relationship everyday and remember to provide the respect and support I expect. There will never be any doubt in my partners mind that I do respect them and love them... they'll know everyday as I will tell them and show them!

    There should be one mother and one father. Not many. Having more than one father or one mother is not a parental relation. The blood relation is true and sweet relation.

    Thank you Sayles. I slipped to mention in my previous posts the importance of children in single marriage relation. Your post reminded me to touch this.

    Regards

    I'm married for 2 years and I already had to get marriage help : http://www.marriagemax.com . I have to admit it. My husband cheats on me. I don't know how many times he did it, but I caught him once, not to mention about how many times he lied to me. Now, it seems to be better. But I'll never have the safety he won't do it again, even though he loves me..

    I take marriage so seriously that I have never been married or engaged yet!

    I'm still waiting for the right woman, and hopefully i'll find her in the near future.
