"Once a cheater always a cheater"
"Cheaters and liars don't deserve love"
"People who cheat don't really love you"
While there may be a couple of truths in these statements above it is not necessarily the absolute reality. In many books, movies and television programs, infidelity is conventionally viewed as unforgivable and an immediate reason for ending a relationship/marriage.
The situation of infidelity is stereotypically portrayed by characters who are inattentive, neglectful, argumentative, erratic, dishonest and selfish on the part of cheaters. The other person who faithful is usually seen the most virtuous and deserving of empathy, support and apology from the cheater. These narratives may be influential in shaping our cultural understanding of infidelity, but they do not reflect the complexities and nuances of real-life relationships and the reasons why people might cheat.
This article is not designed for you to pass blatant remarks on infidelity although we are aware that it is one of the most painful forms of betrayals for most people. It also never for you to justify infidelity in any manner because monogamous relationships are built on the foundation of love, trust, loyalty and understanding.
Love is the cornerstone of any relationship. It entails the genuine, selfless and compassionate affection that individuals have for one another. It is the foundation upon which every other aspect of a relationship is built. Love provides comfort, motivation, and a sense of belonging.
Trust is another essential component of every successful relationship. It is the sense of surety that partners have in each other and the belief that they will always be honest with each other. Trust requires individuals to be honest and transparent, consistently keeping their word and following through on promises.
Loyalty is the commitment to remain faithful and devoted to one's partner. It requires individuals to avoid temptation and prioritize their relationship. Loyalty is often demonstrated through actions more than words. It involves putting one's partner's needs and expectations before their own.
Understanding is also fundamental to a successful relationship. It is the emotive and cognitive process of accepting and appreciating another person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Understanding requires active communication between partners and a willingness to see situations from each other's perspective.
