>>171833I'm genuinely curious about why people cheat and how it happens. Was that really all there was to it? Do you remember what was going through your head while it happened and right after?
I think this is a really interesting topic tbh. And btw, sometimes the victim in a relationship is the cheater themselves. It doesn't make what happened right but it brings up a conversation that needs to be had before the cheating even took place.

No. 171862
>>171836I'm not that anon, obviously, but I can try to give insight.
when I did it, it was simply because I felt like I could. there was no real thought to it, I didn't go out seeking men to cheat with . if the opportunity arose, I took it. it was sort of an adrenaline rush, but I always told my partner after. about a day later or so. it was rarely anything below the belt. I've been single since then, mostly because that period of my life was very dark imo.
but I also destroy my relationships too so idk. I think I have commitment/intimacy issues because I recently destroyed a new romantic interest, and it pisses me off because it was the first guy I have ever had a "crush" on in years. I really like the guy and I immediately tarnished anything we could have ever had lol.

Gonna offer the perspective of an ex-serial-cheater here for anyone interested.
inb4 I am saying this is true of all people who cheat, I'm not. This is purely what went down with me.
I have had 4 notable/ serious relationships in my life, and in 3/4 of those I have cheated. At the time, I made excuses like "my partner treats me horribly" to justify it. I know now that, for me, that was bullshit. I cheated because it was fun to build a connection with a new person, I was horny, and I genuinely didn't feel any guilt at all. There was nothing deep to it.
I'd quite frequently fuck the other guy, then go home and sleep in the same bed as my partner with no issues. I never actively went looking for opportunities to cheat. I just went with the flow and if an opportunity came up and I felt like taking it, I would.
One of the bfs I cheated on with maybe 10 people over the course of 18 months. He never found out. I was only caught once by my 3rd long term partner, who found out I'd been having a prolonged affair with one guy. We carried on in the relationship for a few months after he found out and eventually split up for other reasons.
The relationship I am in currently has been going strong for almost 4 years and I have not cheated. I have absolutely zero desire to do it any more. That isn't for lack of opportunity, or even worrying about feeling guilt, I just don't feel like doing it. I don't think it's because my current partner makes me feel more fulfilled, or even that there haven't been opportunities, I just really have no desire to do it any more.

>>171827A few years ago when I came back from school for the summer I got into a relationship with a guy I'd known for about eight years. He was so sweet and gentle and kind and he was perfect. When I went back to college in the fall I was big into the party/drug scene and I cheated on him constantly. I'd feel awful about it the next day and then go out and get absolutely wasted the next night and do it all over again. I never told him but he ended up finding out regardless. It tore him apart and he was never the same after it and it was only when I got clean that I realized the extent of the damage I did to him. Ill never forgive myself and the regret of my actions for the span of our year relationship is something that haunts me every day even though we have both moved on. The regret is something that you become accustomed to after a while, all you can do is chalk it up as a learning experience and try to move on.
He's met a lovely girl who he is engaged to and they're having a baby together soon. I ended up apologizing to him when I was done my rehab and he told me he'd already forgiven me when he found out I went to get help, just wish I could forgive myself.
TLDR: shit happens, get used to feeling like shit about your actions and dont expect any sympathy. Learn from this experience and don't do it again.

@OP
Why do you expect sympathy?
You disregarded the dignity, trust, and respect of the person you were in a relationship with. That's pretty much the entire foundation of a couple and you decided it was less important than an orgasm.
Why should people feel bad or reassure you its okay to hurt someone like that when there was ALWAYS another option. You don't get pats on the back for being selfish.
If you can't or won't be monogamous why enter a relationship that isn't open?
If its not working out or you're drifting apart or whatever, why wouldnt you just end it and then go date or have sex with whoever you want?
What situation in the world exists where you are literally incapable of stopping yourself from having sex without first leaving your partner?

What's your guys' opinion on being the person that the guy cheats on his gf with?
Someone kissed me at their flat party, and due to my slow drunk reactions it happened a few times (and felt so nice, damn it), once I pulled away my only reasoning to him was "don't do that, it's bad, because it's wrong". Stayed over at their house and next morning they tried to kiss me and I was like "uh, no".
I felt so bad for the girlfriend, and the fact he cheated so easily, and was so persistent about it too!
My immediate gut feeling was to go straight over to the gf and tell her, then I figured I'd sleep on it. Now it's been about a month and I haven't said shit. I mean, is it my business? Does she have a right to know? Should I give her a right to be ignorant to it? She's always making joking references that he's hitting on other girls, so maybe she's aware?
No. 171886
>>171885Being drunk is no excuse and you knew he had a gf.
Side bitches aside. How do you deal with other women being all up on your BF without seeming like a paranoid psycho? I know they're just friends and he haven't cheated, but I can tell that some of those girls have other intentions, he just can't see it himself.
No. 171887
>>171886you don't? your bf has his own autonomy & you have to trust his capacity to make decisions for himself. acting like a paranoid psycho is just going to weird everyone around you out, including him. if it's really something that's weighing on you, talk to him about it in private like, 'listen just my two cents but i'm pretty sure stacy is angling to get in your pants and tell me you won't do anything with her just so i can have some peace of mind' because short of attaching him to your wrist by a leash or ripping out the jugular of the next girl who bats her eyelashes at him, that's p. much all you can do in your situation.

No. 171888
>>171885A lot of times people do things because it feels good for themselves. It's selfish but it's hard not to think in terms of "well what they don't know won't hurt them." That's usually how it is. They feels about what they are doing for themselves and don't feel bad until the other person actually is hurt. Morality usually doesn't come into play until the person is caught.
I've been the side ho a couple of times and didn't care because they were my friends and I didn't have intentions of breaking them up. When I was younger I felt like their girlfriends weren't my problem and they're free to make their own choices but these days I feel like that's too apathetic and cheaters shouldn't be encouraged.
I think it's wrong of course, but I don't think people are incapable of change. If it's not a repeated offensive then I feel like it can be overlooked as just a small blemish in their character.
If I were the person being cheated on personally though, I would want my SO to hurt the person they cheated on me with ten fold to what I felt if they wanted to stay with me.

>>171886But anon, slowed reaction times is a valid excuse for not pulling away sooner to tell him it's wrong than if I was sober. However, enjoying it and not stopping immediately as I realised just who it was that was kissing me. That was wrong.
Man, it was a fucking weird feeling going back there to sit in the same room as his gf. I opened my mouth to say the words "your boyfriend just kissed me", but shut it again. I think it was the first outright "bad" thing I've done.
Worst thing is knowing that now if a future boyfriend ever cheats on me…I think I kind of deserve it. I didn't go looking for that guy, I didn't hit on or try seduce him, but I didn't stop him, and I didn't tell the girlfriend.
Being cheated on would tear me up, too. I don't know why, but I always found it one of the biggest betrayals one human can do to another. It amazes me when I see people on Jeremy Kyle show talking about their spouses cheating like they bought a fucking pet without their permission or something.

Alrighty then, I've never cheated and never been cheated on, technically. I have been an unwilling participant in an open relationship for his sake but that was my bad for agreeing so w/e
(blog post, skip if no1curr)
My partner and I are both openly bisexual, and we communicate with each other about sexual desires. Both of us are perfectly satisfied with each other, no actual need for other people. But when he wants dick or I want some boobs, we talk about it and involve the other partner in whatever happens, and talk about it again, afterwards. so neither of us feel like we are cheating, or are being cheated on, because it's all done with genuine consent.

If you aren't satisfied sexually or emotionally then fix it or move on. Don't cheat, it's scummy

I kind of cheated on my ex with this fat, racist, bisexual, libertarian guy. (Ew) Idk, I thought we weren't together anymore, and I was really drunk so I forgot I called my ex and he told me he loved me. I guess we got back together for real the next week.
And I've never really cheated on someone, but I did cause someone to cheat. I met this cute guy at a music festival, and I spent a ton of time with him and even did molly with him while talking about his sexual fetishes even though I knew he had a gf. I also ended up sharing a hammock with him and kind of giving him a boner. We were already crossing a line, but then we got super drunk, he came onto me, and we hooked up in front of all of his camp mates. He denies that anything serious happened, but I dry humped him while he told me what a bad person he was. I really hate the fact he has a girlfriend, and apparently all of his friends hate her too.

>>171857The understanding took years before it happened. I could never get a satisfying answer out of why he did because nothing makes cheating right. People are responsible for their actions regardless of the situation.
I'm understanding of it and forgiving because I have to be to stay in our relationship. It happened once and we have a great relationship now. A family too. His past with being abandoned by his birth mom, orphaned by his adoptive yet abusive mom, and just never having a stable family life does factor in to what he did though it doesn't excuse it. He is still held responsible for the things he did to me but what's done is done and we were able to move past it.

Now you're now desperately backpedaling into making your whole point being exclusively 'how they're shamed on the internet' because that's the only way you don't have to recognize how the blame is vented onto male homewreckers (via violence).
You came in saying there are no sites for males that perform that function. You got proven wrong. You then squawked about meaningless modifiers like having a picture attachment, and then got proven wrong again.
