Cheaters Beware

Cheating can get you kicked out of a relationship just as quickly as it can get you expelled from school. Arguably, it is considered the ultimate act of intimate dishonesty. While some victims of the heinous crime can find it within their hearts to forgive, others use the revenge approach, which embodies attempts to score with your friends. Others just throw you aside like a piece of stale pizza in their life. The bottom line to those women reading this: Do not cheat (this goes for tests and diets too!) Now, life is filled with temptations. There is absolutely no law that states you can’t give your eyes some intense pleasure by staring at the ripped hot guy at the gym. Even flirting, though it moves toward warmer territory, is acceptable. Heck, lets be real we do it subconsciously. Whether its pre-planned flirting like getting yourself out of that speeding ticket or accidental flirting like running into an old fling. At the end of the day flirting is not cheating. But why do women cheat today? We hear about men doing it, some feminists even expect them to. So why are we joining that negative trend?
 

The first culprit to linger into relationships is boredom. It has been months, years, or for those fast girls, weeks with the same guy. The same routine, the same sex positions (or maybe you two aren’t even doing it at all), the same habitual handhold and kiss that feels overly comfortable. “If women are bored with their current relationship but don’t want loose the stability with the other guy, they cheat,” said Kristen Kalas, an undecided freshman. We all know time heals everything but we also know it can invite boredom. The world of dating is a scary, volatile place filled with unpredictability but we have to be able to let our guard down and more importantly get back out there. Change can bring a positive outcome and will make you a hell of a lot happier then being stuck in a less than fulfilling relationship. Never let time be the reason you stay with a man or the reason you cheat on one.
 
The next offender is fear, more specifically the fear of being alone. We all share it. We all think about it. What if we don’t find that right guy?  Am I going to end up bringing my cousin to my friends’ weddings? “Women cheat because they’re scared to be alone, but they still aren’t happy in their current relationship,” said Brittany Vice, a psychology junior. If it isn’t one emotion, it’s the other! So choose the better feeling. The single life has its perks! If he isn’t mister right now, he probably won’t be mister forever. So “man-up” (literally) and understand you can always do better. Cheating is not the definition for “better.” So do yourself a favor and knock that option right off the ballot.
 
Women as cheaters? “I don’t agree with it, you should always be truthful,” said Allison McWilliams, a business management junior. Honesty is the key. It is far from easy but no one can hold anything against you if you remain honest. Now this doesn’t mean be blunt in doing so but if your relationship is not where you want it or you are ready for a change, be honest with your man. Don’t drive yourself into the arms of another. On a final note, you will get caught. Even the very best and morally wrong crafts get caught.
