Have you ever cheated on someone? Cheating is not limited to a relationship. It is also about how many times you befool yourself.

If you lie to your friend/spouse/family about something they deserve to know, its cheating. If you skip your lessons/guitar class/online learning classes, you’re cheating. Cheating seems to have become a norm in this day and age and it’s no wonder why divorce rates appear to be through the roof.

It is most fatal when you cheat yourself. You don’t realize but it comes around and hit you harder than anything else ever bumped into your face. Say it, a relationship, you are cheating on your partner and want him/her to trust you and support you blindly. Once your partner comes to know about your misdeed, he/she will leave you or even if he/she stays the relationship will suffer from serious trust issues.

This seems to be not a big deal for many of us, but a relationship without trust is the worst thing for both partners. Endless worries, insecurities, feeling of being ditched — it all feels like hell.

If you’d search “cheating” on google you may find many suggested searches like cheating is okay, cheating is overrated, cheating is fun, cheating is good.

If so, why it makes you feel sick, why it makes you feel a pain hard to take. If it is a good thing than you must be okay with being cheated too. Why being cheated feels like a failure.

A positive emotion is positive for everyone around you. Say happiness, if you stay happy your loved one feel that ecstasy, they are also happy for you. If you are motivated you make others motivated, it is a positive emotion. So what goes around, comes around. Cheating isn’t a positive emotion because it makes both of you deprived, devastated, stressed.

Releasing a negative emotion is the key to avoid pain. So, if you are on the wrong path and you might be a potential cheater then just take a step to save your relationship by stepping back. Take a step back and think about your thought pattern. How do you find this negative emotion reassuring?

It may not be easy for you but don't leave a diamond for a rock. It is like cheating yourself out of true loyalty. The root of cheating is that you find it to be acceptable and okay, while it is not. You may acknowledge that it stem from the insecurities of your past relationships.

Sometimes when you ask a cheat to do not repeat their behavior and they say this is who I am. They have accepted themselves being a cheat, if you are great with each other and you want to continue. You’ll have to stop cheating, there is no other way. You may help your partner only if he/she is willing to get rid of his cheating tendency himself.
