| America's Next Top Model and cheating |
| 02.26.04 (10:22 am) [edit] |

Last night, Paula and I watched America's Next Top Model. It's an American reality TV show where Tyra Banks et al get a group of girls through training to become a supermodel. It's kind of entertaining. One girl gets eliminated each week. The winner gets a whole whack of stuff. They also have competitions each week, and the winner will usually win a shopping spree of some sort. Anyway, one of the girls on the show got all upset after a phone call with her boyfriend. She was upset because he was going to go to the movies with a married female friend. She felt that going to the movies was their thing, and she was also jealous that he was going with another young woman. It made me think back to my ex because the movies were our thing, too. We went just about every week. So I could understand this girl's feelings. But I think it was a little over the top that she assumed he was going to cheat on her and told him so!! Anyhow, she went out to a club with some of the girls that night, and she was extremely happy about getting some attention from guys, especially one in particular. Later she told her boyfriend about this boy, and when he found out she never mentioned her status, he hung up on her. Kids these days, I tell ya... :wink: But back to cheating on partners and being cheated on. It seems to run rampant with people around me. It makes me wonder if it's coincidence or cheating is just that common. Both my grandfathers cheated; my dad has; an uncle has; friends have been cheated on; taken guys who've tried to get something started with me. I guess I have, too. All this cheating around me makes me worried, whether it be statistics or karma. My definition of cheating is doing something of an intimate and/or touchy-feely nature (or more) with someone that you would not do in front of your significant other. One thing I do know about myself is that if I am "ready" to cheat on a partner, then I am ready to dump him. I think if you really cared about someone, you'd just not go that route. |

I agree wholeheartedly that you need to dump him if you're seriously thinking about cheating.

I think that cheating is sexual. Going to the movies with a married friend is not cheating in my book. Heck, I dont even think that flirting is cheating. But I do agree that if a person really wants to cheat (which is different from being attracted to someone else), they might want to think why they are willing to risk their relationship. Is it because it isnt important to them? If that is the case, they should consider ending it. I mean, it isnt fair to the other person to keep stringing them along while getting some action on the side.

I agree...if you think you're going to cheat, then something's wrong, and you either need to fix it, or end it. Call me old fashioned...
