That's why there's something called "SELF CONTROL". Hormornal secretion(Testestorone & Oestrogen) is a natural phenomenon except if one, is an asexual.
We are all tempted to steal but control it from manifesting. Haven't you been tempted? Yes or No....

Going by your assumption, no guy would still remain a virgin after puberty because we all admire. You don't have a point, I must-say.

Admiring isn't bad but putting it into practise. I've many important things to discuss with ladies than fantasizing how to get them laid. Smh

Getting her laid is a systematic process which has been finely planned, not a stùpid mistake. Mistakes take place without a slight thought of it.

I've read this post over and over and the truth of the matter is I have no idea what you just said.

Bible talked about forgiveness but "Adultery" is heinous sin to the extent that bible made it the only reason a man/woman should/could divorce his/her spouse.

Matthew19:9
And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."
"and whosever looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart"

Cheating is not a mistake. How does that happen.

Dropping dinner plates while washing is a mistake

Me hitting your window with a ball while playing with my friends is a mistake.

Sleep walking and breaking my lamp is a mistake

My hand brushing a girl's boobs as she passes by in a narrow space can be an excuse

Walking to the kitchen to steal a piece of meat from the pot is not a mistake

Phocking another person while your wife is at home is not a mistake. It is a calculated and premeditated event.

Stop this abeg. Cheating can never ever be a mistake. You do not have sex and call it a mistake
Crackhaus:
While the act of cheating itself may not be a mistake, the feeling of regret as in sadness, repentance, or disappointment that overcomes a cheater is what classifies the act as a mistake in his/her mind - like I said, path of least resistance

would you in all honesty advice a man to forgive a philandering wife?

No long answer pls.just a yes or no sentence
Yes.
I will go a step further to say I wouldn't just do it but have done it before.




The issue is in the word philandering. This tense indicates a continuing habit. If the wife philandered only once it is not enough to doom the relationship, nobody is perfect. But if it continues without any sign of stopping then there is a problem. It is a problem when it is a continuing habit.

I just had to laugh. grin
I guess he believes the phrase that, "all men are cheats".
How can he say a "faithful husband that has been denied sex for long periods of time is more likely to cheat than if he has sex regularly.

Using "more likely", it means faithful husband do cheat also. grin
Sorry to burst his bubble, a faithful husband frowns at cheating... [size=14pt]He only admires[/size] wink
Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

So he can 'only admire ' right? Isn't that already cheating? Where does the 'admiring' stop? He starts with 'she's pretty", then she's prettier, has bigger boobs, better curves, bigger ass, (all this is still admiring oh), then maybe he starts imagining now that he is having sex with her but not physically doing it(still admiring oh) until he finally approaches her to be just friends nothing bad in his mind(still admiring oh) then...
You see where am going with this? So he already cheated on her by admiring someone else.
And according to you guys he will he a cheat forever and ever !


Looooool.
Be realistic please.

aisha2:
Poster wants to cheat let him cheat, its our mentality for settling for less that has gotten us to this level.

Cheating is not a mistake, see how he is justifying and glorifying cheating." the se-x was good ". I always say it if spouses didn't put up with cheats then cheaters will stop but because you make yourself so helpless and put forward all sorts of idiotic theories cheaters will keep treating you like trash.

Adultery is rated same as homosexuality we all hate and condemn and the punishment is the same. Same way gay rights have been criminalised an over zealous religious can also come and use the same major to criminalise adultery.

If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.

Anyway each to their own, anybody who quotes me hoping for back and forth is on their own.
Op is not supporting cheating pls. Don't get overly emotional about this.

Cheating is wrong in all ramifications, there is no arguing that. The discussion is based on the premise that cheating is 'inborn' or 'genetic' because if someone cheats on you then he was always going to cheat, its his/her nature, there is nothing you could have done about it , nothing else contributed to it etc the person just cheated and will continue to cheat for ever and ever.

I am saying this is wrong and illogical. Anybody can make a mistake. You cannot condemn a person to be a chest forever because he strayed once.


No, adultery and homosexuality are not the same as per your bible reference. True, adultery was punishable by death as were other crimes but homosexuality was grouped along with bestiality and it was clearly stated "it is an abomination", "the lord hates this".

So even though it was a sin, extra emphasis was placed on the act of homosexuality. Don't associate cheating with homosexuality cos you want to kill and bury it.


And meanwhile the same bible you quoted also talks a lot on forgiveness. I think its written all over in a place called the new testament.

Polygamy (man-women-children), Polyandry (woman-men-children) and group marriages (men-women-children) characterized many societies from the orient to the Americas before western civilization raided and overtook these areas. These were active societies that fashioned marriages in such a way as to enable their societies survive. You might want to google it and you'll find a number of societies still practicing these marriage types even today.

It's hard to prove that "marriage is extremely important in safeguarding our society and civilization'.
Polygamy, polyandry, they are all forms of marriage bro. The important thing is that there is a family unit.

When there is no family unit comprising man-woman-child, the society will crumble.

A woman spoke to me once about her husband. He was the loving guy and then he cheated on her. She was pissed and angry and tried to leave the husband as she had told herself she could never forgive a cheat her family members spoke to her, she said no. Then her pastor called her and the husband and the pastor said he has spoken to the husband and he has agreed to change.

The woman is living somewhere in Ibadan right now with HIV contracted from her husband who cheated and she forgave because it is just once.

Serial Cheats are evil and have no regard for you, your love, your sanity or life. They only care about the pleasure they will get in that moment and when they get that selfishness off their body, they get sober and beg.

If he/she cheats, before you forgive and stay because of love or religion think about your life and how much that person values it.
I know a man who cheated on his wife once. He used to go with us for seminars in Abuja and on one occasion and for whatever reason he decided to pick one of the loose girls that hung around the place to spend the night with.

The next day he wasn't his usual self and didn't participate in the seminars as vibrantly as he usually did. The GM had to ask if he was ill. He later confided in us that he had cheated on his wife the night before and was feeling terrible. The sex was good but he had just don't something he swore he would never do i.e being unfaithful to his wife. It worried him till we left abuja.

It took him a week of brooding around the office before he finally decided to tell his wife. It wasn't easy and one of our guys had to accommodate him for a few days but eventually the wife forgave him and took him back. The main reason? He was not the cheating type. We all knew him to be a responsible and well behaved fellow, lord knows what entered him that day.



And we do HIV screening every six months , he is not positive. Not everything ends in tragedy like the case you mentioned.

Not everybody is a serial cheat. Some people do make mistakes. Life is not black and white but a multitude of colours.

Nice phrase. Sounds intelligent but its not true. And it originated from lady gaga, not an epitome of morality in herself.

See the flaw in your whole point? Punishable by law bla bla bla. Cheating is morally wrong and so is murder. I doubt you people even know the impact of cheating when a partner trusts you with everything only to find out that you betrayed that trust.
Calm down sister. I'm not saying I cheated on anyone.

In some cases, your cheating is feels as bad as killing the person so please hold your theories.
Corrected.
Although you may feel that way and you are entirely right to do so, it is definitely not as bad as killing someone else cheating would have been punishable by death. This is not theory but fact.


You can't cheat by mistake except you were molested. How can a grown supposedly sane adult pull off his/her clothes and cheat and when the act is over remember that it was a mistake.

Where do you people come from?
A molested person doesn't count as cheating. The person was forced, its not his/her fault she was molested.

I come from a place where people have different opinions from yours. Such people actually exist you know.

a cheat will always be a cheat unless there is an 'overall revolutionary change of his/her personality';
A person can cheat once and repent. A serial cheat has made it into a habit. This is more difficult to break. But you can't condemn the first to a lifetime of cheating because of the anger towards the habitual cheater.

Abeg how do you cheat by mistake?
Anybody can make a mistake, not all people are saints.
A person can cheat willingly on his/her partner and realise later on it was a mistake i.e be sorry for what he/she has done.




Modified.
Pls the issue is not wether cheating is a mistake or not. The question addresses the term "a cheat will always be a cheat" meaning that a person that is going to cheat will always do so regardless of circumstance wether rich or poor, married or unmarried, happy or sad.

I say no. A cheat becomes a cheat via various circumstances and can easily stop cheating if those circumstances are changed.

This person is different from those who have made cheating a habit i.e serial cheats.


This thread does not support cheating in any way.
Family › Will A Cheat Always Be A Cheat? by 5minsmadness(op): 7:33am On Jan 15, 2015
"A cheat will always be a cheat"

I hear this saying making rounds on social media but I think it is false. Nobody is born a cheat. A person becomes a cheat when he/she is placed under certain circumstances.



A faithful husband that has been denied sex for long periods of time is more likely to cheat than if he has sex regularly. A girlfriend who is denied love and attention constantly by her lover is more likely to cheat with him over someone else. This would have been different if her boyfriend was more loving and attentive. A poor guy that shows his love, support and attention to his girl is more likely to have a loyal babe than a rich guy who hardly shows his girlfriend any attention.


Saying a cheat will always be a cheat leaves the relationship open to do whatever you like, thinking that your partner will always be faithful no matter what. It also prevents you from forgiving your partner even if he/ she makes a mistake because you think once they have started cheating they will continue cheating all their lives no matter what. That assumption is baseless.

Of course there are exceptions to the rule but should we use the stubborn few to punish the vast majority?

TV01 has said it all. Smoking is not a habit that should be encouraged in modern society what with all its attendant health risks. Such a person is crass and irresponsible and definitely not fit to raise children.

Even passive smoking i.e inhaling cigarette smoke even though you are not the one doing the smoking has been known to endanger a pwrson's health and you now want to expose my kids to such because you are forming freedom of choice/modern woman?

I don't think so.
