Is It True Once a cheater, always a cheater.

There are a lot of arguments when people wonder out loud “is it true once a cheater always a cheater”? But there is no way to answer to this question unfortunately in my opinion. I’m sure there will be a lot of people that disagree with that.

But there are so many different reasons why relationships run into trouble and each person will react differently to the problems you have in a relationship. I feel that just because someone cheated once doesn’t necessarily mean that it is true once a cheater always a cheater because it isn’t that simple. Some people are just not mature enough to face problems head on and deal with. So they instead go out and do something hurtful, like cheating on their partner or spouse, to avoid dealing with the problems in the relationship.

Usually when a partner or spouse cheats it is because their relationship isn’t what they think it should be. If someone wants physical affection and they aren’t getting that in their relationship, they may look for it somewhere else. They may not even want out of the relationship they are currently in but they want physical affection so they meet that need with someone else.

I don’t believe that when someone cheats, it is 100% the cheater’s fault because there are two people in the relationship. There are some underlying problems that the cheater didn’t know how to deal with and they decided to basically hit the escape key. Some “fault” always lies with the other person in the relationship and if the cheater doesn’t know how to use his or her words, you may not know there is a problem until your partner cheats.

When someone cheats and everyone finds out about it, there is a lot of pressure on the partner that was cheated on to kick the cheater out. Don’t let others dictate to you what you should and shouldn’t do in your relationship. Whether you take the cheater back is no one’s business but your own. Sometimes it is worth working through and sometimes it isn’t worth it. Only you and your partner know what is really going on in your relationship despite well meaning advice from friends and family.

Given that as we just discussed the cheating “fault” isn’t just with the cheater but with both parties, an argument can be made that if the relationship problems are addressed, then there will be no more cheating. My opinion is that if it happens once, you shouldn’t throw away a relationship until you see if the problems can be resolved. Obviously, if the cheating partner can’t or won’t try to solve the issues, there is no reason to go forward because the infidelity will occur again. Until the cheater can face the issues that caused the cheating to begin with, this person will continue to cheat when faced with similar conflicts in future relationships.

When someone cheats on you, it makes you feel sad and angry that you were put in this position. Even if the relationship doesn’t go forward, you both need to sit down and discuss the circumstances that led to the infidelity so that it doesn’t happen in future relationships. There were two people in the relationship and there were obviously issues that needed to be addressed before it got to the point that the cheater was unfaithful.

I don’t believe that in most cases that it is true once a cheater always a cheater. Most people do not get into a relationship and know that they are going to cheat on the person they are with.
