Cheaters

I don't pride myself on being an upright moral person, but I often wonder about the emotional makeup of those who cheat in relationships. As you've learnt by now, it's pretty difficult sourcing a Jewish boy - and it hasn't been made any easier when boys that DO show some effort are in relationships.

The concept of cheating within a relationship had never come across my mind until recently - I've realised that more people cheat (or want to cheat?) than I had ever expected. This poses a multitude of problems - within the relationship, as well as the consequences/responses of both parties (or three?) that follow.

But it's still a hush-hush topic - betrayal is never an attractive discussion topic. People feel uncomfortable admitting it in public, people still feel guilt pangs for 'those times when', but does that make them think about it less? Does it stop people from acting/behaving/flirting with those who their partners might deem 'inappopropriate'? I don't think so.
