you CANT cheat on the people you truly love, because if you indeed truly loved someone, you wouldnt knowingly hurt them by cheating. sadly, many people fall out of love or pretend/lie that they love someone, when in reality they dont.

if you dont care about your partner's feeling; if you dont respect your partner/relationship; if you are ready and willing to throw your r/ship into the dustbin then you cant call that love
Nah story be that

cheesy
Cheating can only happen when you don't love someone.....So I won't and can't be deceived by a partner who will cheat on me and later claim to truly love me undecided. Na only mumu dem dey tell that kind thing undecided
This love of a thing is genderly based
A man can cheat on is patner because of sex and lust but still love his partner
When a woman cheats, she cheats with emotion attached, and in this case, women nature are nothing permissive to cheating, so when a woman cheats on you, she can't love you anymore except if she wants to pretend

There is nothing like Cheating by sleeping with another person ...Its not Possible to eat same food throughout one's life time.... People should just accept the Bitter Truth ...
Re: Why Do People Cheat On People They Love?? by Originalsly: 3:23pm On Sep 12, 2021
It depends on how much one love the person. Guys that soooo love their babes ..... never cheat.... not at all .... and that's the truth. But their babes? ..... hmmmm .... from what I know? ...... hmmm..... let me shut up... I'm a man of peace.
I DO NOT CHEAT..... but I can't understand how men can be caught cheating and not able to convince the gf it was not what she thought it was .... they would just confess and be begging for forgiveness. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? But who am I to say all this?... what do I know?... after all ... I DO NOT CHEAT.

it's not a stupid question, we humans are not perfect, it's in our nature. Shebi u love God, why do you commit sin sometimes??
So those that stay committed to their partner till death are spirit. They are human too.

Thus, stop your irresponsible excuses and build the fear of God in you.

The love one have for God is different from the love you have for someone you share you body with.

Stop all these absurd comparisons.

Cheating is a human construct; in fact, a western construct, and alien to Africa. There is something called open relationships in the west today, and polygamy in the African culture.

U can take this info straigth to the bank; thank me latter...
The tendency to get the taste of a new vg.dkk is in all humans, true lovers, non true lovers, pastors,imam, Bleep boy/girl alike!
Footnote!
Yeah yeah i expect some females to come after me for this summary but dont worry as we all know how society and mad African traditions has limited them in that regard.

In summary, if "E" does not cheat on "F", its not because E has a true love for F it is because of the following

1. Clean/clear opportunity hasnt come
2. E might be on a spiritual path
3. F probably pays all the bills at the moment so E may not want to take that risk.
Take this gift hook line and sinker and u will be free!
So......what you are trying to say is that apart from this your listed reasons every one in a relationship would cheat?
Well, i think every one should speak for themselves bcuz i still blive that with luv in a r/ship no 1 would cheat even when u r tempted 2
Re: Why Do People Cheat On People They Love?? by inchristalone(m): 3:56pm On Sep 12, 2021
I don't cheat on anyone, instead, I lay off one and continue with another. Once I notice that am not in love with someone, I will try and break up any form of intimate relationship I have with the person before looking for another person. I find it really difficult to love but when I do, I do it with everything I possess. I don't know how to keep two lovers. It's not in me.

It’s amazing how many of us here don’t realize why. It’s just the same reason corruption is endemic in Nigeria.
There’s a huge chasm between LOVE and RESPECT; and the two don’t always go together. Love may be an emotion and is dynamic but respect is usually earned and legitimate. We dread disrespecting because there are consequences, same way people will dread corruption if there are penalties.
Men cheat on women apparently more because they have no respect(fear factor) for them even though they truly love them. The reason is usually because women bring almost nothing into the marriage and there’s almost always another lady outside marriage(who probably has a slight advantage over his spouse) longing for him. In the event he is caught, there are virtually no real penalties. Where there are penalties, he won’t.
In comparison, women tend to be a little restricted after a certain age. As they get older and have kids, the demand for them falls. If they cheat and are caught, the marriage ends, she gets berated and usually there isn’t another viable man out there to take them in. Even worse, they may not have been independent. SO THERE ARE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES, unlike what happens to the males.
So if a man is married to a woman who has earned his respect, he cannot cheat. He will keep weighing the consequences. Mostly, he can’t get a woman of that quality ever again. So ladies, build yourself up and try to earn respect in your homes and you can be sure he won’t cheat on you.

The way u have written this I have confirm you will do worse than cheat on ur woman. Haven't u heard of the word TEMPTATION? cos I sleep with another woman doesn't mean I don't love my wife. U need to grow up little one
If you still allow yourself to willingly fall into temptation and then open your mouth and say ''cuz i sleep with another woman doesn't mean i don't love my wife'' then you are the one who needs to grow up. Imagine your dad doing it to your mum, when you are done imagining, give me feedback, little one.

Let’s not judge him. He’s doing his best to bear out his mind. The act of cheating is an act of disrespect not the absence of affection. Ever wonder why the phrase, ‘love and respect’ exists?

BS.
All living organisms are primarily driven by instincts to survive. The urge to procreate are permanently woven into the DNA of all living creatures.
The method and degree to which this primordial instinct is acted put depends on individual species.
Knowing that, it becomes a bit obvious that monogamy is not wired into our DNA, rather monogamy is an adaptation to social norms, adopted at certain points in the history of different cultures.
Polygamy is still lega and practiced in many cultures within and outside Africa. Even in culture where it not practiced, there is this thing called ' Divorce ' , a convenient substitute for Polygamy or non- monogamous life.
The Divorce rates in non-poligamous cultures tell us the same story- that monogamy is forced tradition against our inherent nature.

Now, men and women see and feel romance and intimacy in different lights.
I can't speak for women, but men are polygamous by nature.
Wanting to have more than one woman has little to do with how a man loves his main partner or spouse . It is basic instinct , wired into our brains and hormones.
Now, a man can try as much to subdue his basic instincts to stay faithful to a partner or spouse . However, how long he can keep winning that fight against his basic instincts depends on a whole lot other factors and variables, most of which are beyond his control.

Why do people still cheat on people they truly love?? undecided cry cry
We love God but we still cheat on Him with the devil.

Cheating is not about the other person, its about you. What are your values, your principles? For example, someone who engages in premarital sex might see having sex with a married man as disgusting. For some reasons, probably her father never cheated on her mother, or just personal conviction. That's her value, her principle. Same way some men will never sleep with a prostitute while other men see no biggie in it.

So before getting down with someone, you need to know their values and principles. It will help a lot.

You CAN truly love someone and still cheat on the person. Love is not enough, you have to be very discipline and be responsible...
