Is past behaviour the best predictor of future behaviour?

Can a leopard change its spots?
I don't think they do but just wanted a general consensus.
If someone had a history of broken relationships lies cheating and child abandonment what would you think the chances of them ever having a happy healthy relationship would be?

I'm not buying that people can't end relationships without having an affair. Plenty of people do it everyday. I would rather walk away 'just because ' than be known as a cheat.
Anyway he wasn't married and he wasn't in an unhappy relationship. It seems he just cannot help himself.

Funny that somone used the job analogy thus guy has been sacked from numerous positions for theft fraud and general fuck ups.

And shagging every woman that moves is a completely different kettle of fish to cheating on every woman you propose to impregnate or live with. At least that guy was honest about it

I don't agree that society doesn't support someone who wants to leave an unhappy marriage.

Divorce statistics are at 50%, it's easier and quicker to achieve than ever, and no stigma attached at all. I know many couples who 'consciously uncoupled' and ended up co-parenting successfully with no hard feelings once the dust settled.

A world of difference between someone doing that and someone deciding to spice up their life by fucking someone in the side, lying daily about their whereabouts and intentions, using family money to further an affair and telling the faithful spouse they're mad if they question any of it.

More like - the unfaithful partner is too cowardly to leave until they've got someone else lined up, or their hand is forced on discovery.

Yes they're black and white. A one night stand can be considered a mistake (maybe). A brief exit affair can be justified ( maybe). But months and years of treating the faithful partner like a commodity so you can have both - family life and hot sex with someone who still thinks you're fantastic and never asks you to empty the dishwasher - shittest deceptive behaviour of the highest order.
