The Effects Of Cheating In Relationships

702 Words2 Pages

People say cheating has so many forms, but the worst one would be cheating in a relationship. A cheater is someone who cheats on his partner; someone who systematically betrays his partner either on a physical or emotional level. About a week ago I thought cheating was okay,but now I realize the harm it could cause to their significant other. True love doesn’t hurt, true love protects, and cares. Cheating can cause someone to have a mental break down, and leads to a complete loss of respect. When it comes to relationships, remaining faithful is never an option; loyalty is everything. I used to think that cheating could improve relationships and make things better, but in reality it only creates more conflicts such as trust issues. You won’t know who to trust. Being in a relationship is about staying committed to that individual, not going around behind each other’s backs seeing other people.

What is good about taking someone’s sincere feeling as a joke? With cheating there’s no commitment; it’s all fun and games. Otherwise, it would be fun and games when you catch a disease or for revenge, your life can be in danger. Sometimes we go around sleeping with other people, and we aren’t aware of their health or whom they have slept around with. It’s an unending cycle.
Cheating can cause a mental breakdown. It affects how the person feels about themself, as they start to believe that they are not good enough because you went out to find what he or she couldn’t give you. It can make your partner have suicidal thoughts because pain may differ from person to person. Not everyone might respond the same way to an unfaithful partner.For Example, A married woman expects her husband to be loyal and a married man expects the same because the moment they said “Yes I do”, they made a commitment to be together and not let temptation bring them

  • Hera and Hercules: The Detrimental Relationship Between the Goddess and the Hero

    1826 Words  | 4 Pages

    Greek mythology tells us that Hercules’ birth was actually a result of rape. Zeus had come down to Alcmene, the mortal wife of king Amphityron, disguised as her husband, and made love with her. After Zeus left, Amphityron returned and also slept with his wife. As a result, Alcmene had twins, Iphicles and Hercules. Because Zeus knew what kind of child Alcmene would soon be having, he said that the next boy born would be the future king of Olympus. Hera, Zeus’ wife, was never content when Zeus had a child with another woman, let alone a mortal woman, and especially one with such a promising future. As a result, she postponed Hercules’ birth so that his first cousin, once removed, would be the one receiving Zeus’ prophecy. Hera did not stop there though. Once Hercules was born, she sent two serpents to kill him. Yet this didn’t go as Hera had planned. Even as a baby, Hercules had enough strength to strangle the serpents and cast them aside. After that, Hera left Hercules without disturbances for a few years. Once he was a grown man, however, with a life full of potential, a loving wife and healthy sons, Hera decided to bring her wrath upon him once again. She sent fits of madness upon him causing him to kill his wife and sons. When Hercules came to, he couldn’t live with the guilt of his sins. He went to the oracle of Delph...

He had cheated so much during high school that it had become his daily routine. On graduation day, Luke graduated with high honors. He was accepted into one of the best universities in the state.

When his classes started, he got loads of homework. Luke was thankful to have most of his classes with his roommate, so that he was able to cheat off of him. Luke made it through most of the semester by cheating on each worksheet or paper that he had to complete. At the end of the semester, he had many tests that he had to do. Luke made cheat sheets that he planned on using during the tests, but each one was observed closely. He suddenly realized how difficult it was to complete each test when he knew none of the information. Each one he completed, he scored low on it, making his final grade much lower than people had expected him to get. On his final test, he understood none of the material, so he decided to take the risk and get his cheat sheet out when he thought that the college professor was not looking.

People were surprised that Luke was caught cheating, because most had thought better of him.

    First of all, cheating is not an option; it’s a choice that a lot of people choose. A person tends to cheat when they are not contented with their girlfriend or boyfriend. With this issue, some people prefer to date two guys or girls at the same time especially if one of you and your partner lives in a different place. For example, in my case, I was in a relationship before and it happens that B (code name) lives 3,736 miles away from me. As a result, I was tempted to date another guy because I couldn’t do what other couples do with B in person such as hug, hold his hand, kiss him whenever I want, and etc. B didn’t know about it and I felt really heinous. Few weeks later I was forced to choose between B and the other guy because I realize that it’s not fair for them and they don’t deserve it. I feel so shamed about myself for making that mistake. If I could only turn back the time I would not do what I did. Admit it, we can’...
