So, the maxim is "once a cheater, always a cheater". Do you know anyone who only cheated once?

Posted by David (aka David) Jun 30 '09, 12:00

I'm trying to think of any one among the people I know who would qualify, but I can't. In fact, it seems like it got easier for most of them after the first one.

Responses:

I think I've only cheated on one *person*... does that count? - Dr.Vermin Jun 30, 12:22
and a geologist friend, now that I think about it. - mafic Jun 30, 12:07 4
- Hmm, I think I would count that as twice, especially if there was a "it won't happen again" somewhere in there. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:11 3
  - yeah. there was, and it did. I'd be done with her, but they seem happy. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:21 2
    - (after the first round, I'd be done. infidelity is a total dealbreaker for me). -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:23 1
      - Yup and it's so silly. It's simple to say "I need a break" rather than be dishonest about it. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:26
a friend's brother cheated and repented. it took awhile for them to get back into a healthy place, but i think it's been about 8 years or so since - kare Jun 30, 12:05 7
- (Me?) -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:06 6
  - yes! -- nm - kare Jun 30, 12:06 5
    - We'd have to like, meet, first. - David Jun 30, 12:07 4
      - heh - kare Jun 30, 12:09 1
        
        HEY! -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:12

        To the Brazilmobile! -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:12
Hmm, I think the kind of person who would only cheat once would be genuinely remorseful, and embarassed. - Inigo Jun 30, 12:04
my mom. she's been with the other guy for about 6 years longer than my parents were married. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:04
i do. someone who was in a very unhappy marriage years ago and wanted an excuse to end it. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 12:04 15
- (oh, and this cheating didn't even involve sex, just some kissing, etc.) -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 12:04 14
  - I'm a guy. There has to be groin friction for it to count as cheating. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:09 13
    - You're joking, right? - Subversive Jun 30, 12:11 11
      - Actually, I guess tongue kissing would be mine. That and the groin friction. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:13 9
        
        What about boob kissing, with no tongue? - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:14 8
        
        Can you describe a scenario where that would happen without kissing first? -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:15 4
        
        The tits may be hot, but the mouth could look sketchy -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 12:28
        
        look at Jack's flickr stream. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:27
        
        More than likely it would, yes, but not necessarily. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:16

        Fingers in certain areas likely classifies as groin friction :) -- nm - Shaun Jun 30, 12:15 2
        
        Don't assume. nm -- nm - Dignan si reaching for the TP Jun 30, 12:17
        
        True. I guess I read David's post incorrectly, as strictly from the guy's groin. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:16
      - but if *she* were to make out with another woman, it would be hot. So really,you're holding yourself to a double standard here... -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 12:12
    - in other words, you have to cross the sex line? -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 12:10
define "cheating"... -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 12:02 4
- (this was my first thought) -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 12:03 3
  - because I probably fall into this category. - znufrii Jun 30, 12:07 2
    - Same here (without the being married part) -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 12:13
    - (unless we're strictly talking while married, here) -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 12:08
Other than this dude, I don't know if any of my friends have ever cheated. -- nm - Subversive Jun 30, 12:02 4
- I'm imagining you pointing your thumbs to your chest while saying "this dude" -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 12:03 1
  - It's usually "this guy", right? Like in, "Who has two thumbs and has never cheated on his wife? THIS GUY!" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 12:04
- I imagine that many people keep it secret even from good friends. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:02 1
  - Absolutely. I would certainly think less of someone who told me. -- nm - Subversive Jun 30, 12:04
it is a very hard habit to break. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 12:01

- You know that for sure, or speaking from experience? ;) -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:01 1
