Do you believe in once a cheater, always a cheater?

I mean... Depends on why the person cheated, what if the relationship was dead for a long time and only consisted of fighting but they couldnt break up for whatever reason and slowly a second love life started? Would that cheater be treated the same then the person that sees a sexy peraon and decides to get laid?

Mannnn, you cheat at checkers I'ma flip the tables on ya! We don't take kindly to Poker players with second hands up their sleeves and you better not be running 5 of the same card in yo Magic the Gathering deck! Cause I'ma know and guess what? Calling the judge and then... WE FLIP DAT TABLE! LOL, course cheating on your spouse isn't cool. If you want an Open relationship then the rules of that relationship should be kept known at all times to everyone. Last thing you want is unneeded drama. However I get having an affair on their significant other unknowingly for them is part of the thrill. Just be mindful good people do get hurt when you don't talk straight. Communication is critical to a happy life. I would strongly recommend to anyone in such a relationship to inform their other half what they are doing unless the end result be a stranger showing up in another man's bed after he gets home from a long day of work and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimme Three Steps" song starts playing. https://youtu.be/SM3jgkChV6M If it is for the thrill, check the safety risks and the others you wish to take a long for the ride. It will save a life for sure! Still everyone should be happy with themselves first before getting angry with someone else. Life is too short to hold grudges especially if one truly loved the other person. You don't have to take anyone back that hurt you and I recommend to move on to someone else as a rule of thumb. It will do both parties more good to go on with their respective lives.

It's honestly a pretty subjective thing, some people are just impulsive and cheat because they have no self control once someone else that's attractive to them pops up and shows interest. Some cheat because they have long since removed themselves from a relationship emotionally but just are too afraid of conflict to break things off from their partner (despite how much pain it would save literally everyone involved) and some people just have poor communication skills and/or are selfish, never voice their concerns or needs but expect their partner to know what they want, and then out of anger/frustration decide to cheat Though I think one thing that's for certain that all of these types have in common is the fact that they lack a certain level of emotional maturity that would allow them to avoid these problems, it's a matter of them identifying their personal problems and working through them that would allow them to grow past stuff like cheating. So yeah, I don't think someone that has cheated once will always be one. But I think someone who cheats but always attempts to justify why they cheated, never taking any accountability is very likely to cheat again

To be honest, I think the same, BUT I was always alone, no girlfriend, only a few "friends", there are only 2 persons I can really call friends I think that when I will have a girlfriend(I hope), even if she will cheat on me, I will stay with her, being lonely is painfull
