Have you cheated on a partner... and have you done it more than once?

Feel free to name change for this!!!

Read sooo many times this morning words to the effect of "once a cheater, always a cheater".

So... have you cheated on a partner?

If so, have you done it more than once (ie to the same person or cheated on multiple partners)?

If you have only done it once, do you think you ever conceivably could again?

PLEASE ladies - this isn't a "lets stone the unfaithful" thread - it is about finding out if it is a fair assessment, and whether or not we should trust again if it is a "one off".

once, very early on in our relationship and he doen't know.

In my defence it was before I loved him.

Regret it to this day.

Would never do it again.

If he cheated on me it would be over as I have been so so miserable for so long about the sexual (or non) side of our relationship. If he was having sex with someone else I could never forgive him.

And it wouldn't be all right to uproot DS then either. But it wouldn't be my choice and something I was doing just for me IYSWIM.

You can have Luca. He's got a home in Croatia, so he'll not be too far .

It's a happy ending for Mary because she is now able to spend time with a man who is willing and able to love her in a way that makes her happy.

Thanks expat!

Have not cheated on DH (apart from the odd drunken snog). Before him, I lived with someone for 4 years and was never faithful. As he refused to commit, I thought, why should I put all my eggs in one basket?

Floating - Yes - I know it is a bit hypocritical as i have cheated but then again I only cheated because of the lack of sex.

I suppose the line in the sand would be that he would KNOW it would hurt me so much and I just couldn't live with him afterwards. Uprooting DS would be a last resort. At teh moment while I am not exactly happy, I m not miserable - most of the time! However if DH were to cheated I would be miserable and angry and bitter - none of that would be good for DS so therefore I feel that uprooting him in those circumstances would be justified.
