Cheaters

So because polygamy is decreed in Islam, then that automatically means that it's not cheating??

Sorry, it's allowing cheating because they know most men can't handle monogamy. In essence, polygamy is this religion's way of allowing a man to cheat without letting him feel guilty about it.

Cheating happens everywhere dude.

 

that is haute couture...and just to let you know used in terms of couture clothing not perfume...just saying:smt005

 

Never said it didn't but to the degree it happens here is extrordinary to me.
Cheating is being dishonest. Its seeking relations outside of the relationship if the understanding of multiple partners is established then how is it cheating.
Again another example of another woman who fails to understand and doesn't want to understand men are hardwired differently.

 

no they were allowing polygamy because so many men had died because of war, simple as that

 

Now that I didn't know. Makes sense though.

 

Well i suck at fashion but i am sure you get what i was driving at lol

7 signs they are cheating on you.

Most of us — even the not-so-jealous types — know that feeling of, “Is my sweetheart really working late… or could this person be two-timing me?” I’ve counseled many individuals dealing with this concern, so let me share my knowledge with you about the signs that someone is cheating (or seriously contemplating it). Use this information and insight — and either stop worrying or have a serious talk with your partner!

Sign #1: Your sweetie keeps you a secret from his/her family and friends
Cheaters keep you in the dark while they play in the light. Your relationship won’t work if you’re getting what I call the Shadow Treatment. The Shadow Treatment means that you are often kept waiting in the wings while your mate is out socializing. Think about it: Are there gatherings of friends, family reunions or workplace parties that you are not invited to? Do you only meet some of your honey’s network of friends? If you are kept on the sidelines, there’s probably a good reason. Maybe your sweetie is on the prowl for someone else. Or perhaps there is already someone else and so your role in his or her life can’t be made public. Anytime you are kept on the fringes once you believe you are an exclusive couple, be suspicious. And know that the only way to end Shadow Treatment is to stop accepting it. Once you challenge it, you will either be fully accepted in your sweetheart’s life… or know it’s time to leave.

I am a: Man Woman Seeking a: Man Woman Near: Sign #2: Your sweetie is emotionally absent
Cheaters conceal their emotional whereabouts so they can be evasive about their physical whereabouts. Love is exhausting when you have to pry the truth out of a partner.

Consider this story: After enjoying a platonic friendship for a decade, Margaret and Roy began dating. Roy was a traveling sales manager. While he was on the road, Margaret heard from him only occasionally. But he continued to say he wanted to spend more time with her — which he never did. Margaret was obviously a low priority for him. She was shocked to learn he had another girlfriend across the country.

An emotionally absent partner may say what you want to hear, but will not change his or her actions — unless he or she wants to. Saying the right thing and doing the right thing are very different. If your honey talks a good game about spending more time with you and paying more attention to you but never delivers — look out! This person may be juggling multiple relationships.

Sign #3: Your sweetie says he or she wants a no-strings-attached romance
If someone says, “I don’t want a commitment,” take the sucker at his or her word. Don’t fall into that “I’ll be the one to change all that!” trap. Cheaters rebel against control and might even have an affair to spite a partner who wants to rein him or her in.

Too often, people ignore the clear message a potential date sends. If someone tells you, “I’m not into serious relationships,” “I won’t give up my freedom,” “I’m not ready to settle down,” or anything resembling that, take a giant step back! He or she is clearly telling you, “I want to play the field.” If you pursue the person anyway, hoping for an exclusive relationship, you may find yourself two-timed and brokenhearted. Never push a person into a situation he or she doesn’t want to be in. Never pursue a committed relationship with someone who tells you he or she doesn’t want one.

Sign # 4: Your sweetie admits to cheating on exes — and justifies the betrayals
Cheaters rationalize their behavior to let themselves off the hook. The way they justify their actions tells much about their character.

Listen to the excuses for past cheating your sweetie uses. Here are a couple I’ve heard from clients in my therapy practice over the years:
“My ex was abusive, so I deserved to see someone kinder on the side.”
“My father cheated on my mom, so cheating on my girlfriend is how I’m working through my past.”
Everyone has a tale to tell. But are these excuses — or any rationalizations — acceptable to you? A person who admits to infidelities in the past and explains them away has a good chance of straying again. He or she has not taken responsibility for past actions, nor worked through the issues involved.

Sign #5: Your sweetie has never been without a mate
Cheaters won’t ride solo... ever! Leaving one romance and hopping into a new one — or having simultaneous affairs at once — doesn’t leave time for assessing whatever went wrong. They don’t bother with introspection; their focus is squarely set on pulling new people into their orbit. If you are dating a person who shares a romantic history that always involves finding a new partner before breaking up with the current partner, take heed. This person may think of his or her mate only as a void-filler. Filling a void is never going to be the basis for a lasting love.

Sign #6: Your sweetie tells lies about little things
Cheaters lie about everything, which leads you to question what is truth and what is fiction in their lives. When the need to embroider overshadows the desire to be honest, the relationship becomes a sham.

Craig’s friend set him up on a blind date with a divorcée, Alice, who was a top attorney in town with no children. Each time they were together, Alice described her interesting caseload. Craig was fascinated — and falling hard. He was so caught up in her charismatic personality that he chose not to focus on the fact that some of her stories contradicted themselves, and that Alice seemed to change certain details as she got further into sharing her stories. One day, the local newspaper featured someone who had been indicted for impersonating an attorney. Craig was shocked to find that it was Alice — and that she was a wife and mother as well! Alice had lied to both Craig and his matchmaking friend.

If you are dating someone who seems to be untruthful about mundane topics — where he or she had lunch, what he or she is doing on Sunday morning — take note. The lies probably run deep. As my Gilda-Gram warns, “Without truth, there is no love.”

Sign #7: Your sweetie brags about his or her ability to attract others
Cheaters are insecure and need to be given constant attention on the side. They flaunt their popularity in attempts to boost their own low self-esteem. Let me give you an example: Marilyn met a “hot guy” on a singles cruise, and the pair became inseparable for the week. When they returned home, they spoke to each other constantly. He sent her a plane ticket to visit him. While together, Hot Guy boasted that he was his town’s “go-to” date for all the lonely women. Instead of Marilyn reading that as a sign to stay away, she interpreted his description of himself as “cute.”

Visiting her two weeks later, he said he was available throughout the week — except for a lunch date he had with a woman he had just met. Marilyn found that peculiar, but said nothing. After a dinner party, he detailed how many women had made passes at him. Marilyn began feeling disrespected and put down by this kind of talk. Finally, after crying herself to sleep, she told Hot Guy he was too hot for her.

If a partner boasts how in demand he or she is by the opposite sex, recognize how insecure your date really is — and steer clear. A person like this probably needs more ego-stroking than any one person can provide... and will look anywhere in order to find it.

So now you know the signs that indicate that maybe your “sweetie” isn’t really such a sweetie after all. Life and love are all about learning. Remember this Gilda-Gram: “Everyone who touches you, teaches you.” Instead of getting bummed out about a cheater who stole your heart, think of what you learned, and how your experience helped you to grow. Your new insight will arm you to attract someone more trustworthy in the future.

======================================================

can you identify with this and if so how ?
also what would you add to this list ?

 

good post, all true points aswell now i think about the actions of past people i have known

 

yeah, I look back and you can see the signs of craziness , a cheater, liar and a person of no integrity , responsibility and honor. you just close your eyes to it and get burned. it happened to me

 

Sign #8: They come home smelling like pussy and Chanel.

 

# 9, instead of being out enjoying life you are at home sweating over articles like "how to find out if they are cheating on you"

 

LOL. get a pussy/dick detector.

take your own advice then and stop coming in this forum. LOL

 

those are the obvious. there are more sbutle ones

 

pfft the only way you know is when you know.

 

Just a little lighthearted comment my friend.. I'll say, neither of us are funny though really.. let's leave it to the experts ey

 

yeah, I know. I was joking back.

as far as the experts....through experience you can advise people but like YMRA stated you know when you know but you have to be able to see the signs.

the problem some people just are blind from seeing or just dont know

 

Neither of us are funny

YMRA is right. If you think they are banging someone else, they probably are. If you are after exclusivity and its important to you that all are on the same page then skip the PI and move on.

 

I think either you trust somebody or you don't.

You will never be able to prove loyality. I live with him, but I live my own life. You can feel, if your love isn't that interested in you anymore,in that case I assume it's time to leave, no matter, if there is another woman in the game or not.

 

Gotta bump this because I need to hear from the cheaters real quick. For most of you is it that you fell out of love with the person you're with or is it impossible for one person to make you happy?

Just got off the phone with a friend who said she can't stop (fyi her fiance is white but she apparently can't get enough of bbc since the only two guys she cheated with were well endowed black guys)

 

Hmmm... When I have cheated it had absolutely nothing to do with being unhappy or it being impossible for a 1 person making me unhappy...Actually I was pretty damn happy the moments it occurred... I love cake and I'm going to eat it all. I guess it's a bit of a power trip and ego booster.

I'm content with a monogamous relationship but every few years I just want something different for a change. Sometimes I have options and I'm going to exercise them... I don't want to grow up all old regretting missed life experiences.
