I'm thirty seven years old, started dating at fifteen and just got married last September so I've had many relationships during my life. I've dated a lot and been cheated on a lot. When I was younger it happened more often. Girls in their teens up to mid twenties seemed more likely to cheat. As I got older and dated older women the incidents of cheating decreased a great deal. With girls in shorter term relationships the cheating didn't hurt as much. I'd get mad and be a little hurt but I knew I wasn't going to marry the girl so I thought at least I wasn't losing much. A cheater isn't worth having as a partner anyway. The more serious relationships that involved cheating left me more hurt and mystified as well. In a serious relationship you at least at one time cared deeply for the other person so why risk hurting them by cheating? If you want out at least be honorable and break up before fooling around with someone else. I've never cheated because I see no honor in it and respect the people I choose as my partners too much to disrespect them in this way. I have grown disenchanted with relationships and broken up with women but there is never a reason to cheat. Succumbing to temptation and cheating is just selfish and indicitive of a weak character. I have no patience for such weakness.
