I dont think everyone cheats but i do think sometimes people have the opertunity to. Personally If you have an open committed relationship if you stay open and communicate there really isnt any reaosn to cheat

I have to go with this answer. As much as many do, plenty actually don't or haven't.

Eating, drinking, and breathing are necessary to live, cheating is a choice. I don't think everyone cheats. I think some people have the strength and self-respect not to.

NO. Two partners. at 15 and 27. Divorcing (after 21 yrs). (not about the sex) we grew apart, rough financial times and the love is GONE. But, I have a roof over my head because I did some things (like never cheating) right. And I want a lover more than ever. It has been years. I was never a Casanova and no women has showed interest in me, in a long time. It is very lonely and sad. I don't have any money either. That hurts; you need money even to meet for coffee.

I dont think everyone does. I think that probably a majority will at least once - both male and female. I also think that almost everyone will consider it at one time or another but not act on it. I have several friends who are not in the same open sexual marriage I am in who "Never would I xxxxx", but they almost all read the steamy sex novels and fantasize its happening to them. I think in part its human nature and in part hard to not be tempted especially as our marriage or relationship ages so to speak and looses some of the passion and fire. In my case personaly I very much love ny husband and he loves me ( I know I will face some how can you say that ) for that decloration - but we each have open permission to have sex with others with the prior knowled and approval of the who from each other. I know that most will consider this just cheating with a spin but it keeps the openness and honesty between us and if the answer is "no" its tespected without arguement or discussion. Do I think its right to hide it and do it? No. Do I think that most do/will? Yes. Does it mean that they want to leave their current spouse for someone else? No- not in most of the cases that is. But if you are going to do it make sure its clear up front with whoever you are going to do it with that its just sex and nothing else to avoid confusion. And at the first sense of deeper emotion you need to break it off completly - or if your looking for a teplacement have the respect to either work through your issues if thats what is causing your desire and if that doesnt work end what you have before starting what you want. Life is hard and unfair sometimes in relationships and marriage but a lot of the bitterness and heart ache can be avoided by simply keeping open honest communication. If you a a woman and tell me "I have never though about it or been tempted" I will say congratulation and you are that rare person. The same for the guys. If your one of the ones who is thinking about it, has done it or is doing it- welcome to the reality and majority of most modern relationships. If you feel guilty just remember that probably five out of seven of your neighbors has done the same at some point in some relationship. Be honest with yourself first and true to yourself. Dont hate your spouse for a choice you made and dont hate yourself. I dont suggest my situation for all of you, or even most of you for that matter because it takes contrary to popular assumption a very strong trust and respect for it, and it is very easy for you if you or your spouse are the jealous type for it to fail. Talk often, say how you really feel, dpnt be afraid to be yourself and share your emotional needs and desires openly with one another. XOX CreamySweet

AGREED

My husband and I feel the same way. We try not to pass judgement, because we know that we have a very strict sense of the word and our rules about the grounds of cheating are a little extreme. We try to remember that life is one big grey area, and all you can do is control your own path. We are happy with the way we look at it, because it works for us, but don't expect others to feel the same way. And that's okay by me.
