Is it normal for people to not cheat in relationship?

I'm curious how people in long term relationships don't stray. I've been cheated on and I've heard of a lot of relationships where one person is cheating but the other is completely unaware. How do people who are married for years not have the urge to try other people or enjoy sex with others? Doesn't sex with the same person get stale or rehearsed after awhile, idk is there ever a point when people want different things?

    It's because people who are in a long term relationship is connected physically and emotionally. They find other things, ie communicating or bonding activities, just as stimulating as pounding each other's sexmakers. It's called love.
    That feeling that makes people grow on each other. Like warts. Or a fungal infection.

      Not even during a game of Yahtzee?

        I don't think I've ever played Yahtzee or it's been so long that I can't remember.

      Faithful couples in sexless marriages sleep in different bedrooms and keep porn under their respective beds to jerk off. My wife used to go to a lesbian massage therapist on Thursday morning.

          Of course you haven't. But, when considering the broader issue of cheating, only perspectives from varied situations can give insight. To be denied sex for months on end only increases a sense of rage. And, that's the first thing you have to get rid of to go back to a working relationship.

            It sounds like you let the goddamned Catholic church con you into thinking that the two of you should live like brother and sister to be virtuous and pleasing to the Lord.

            Well it's lies from a cult of child rapers. That religion has destroyed too many lives mercilously. The Catholic Church is the Devil's friend.

    I know some married men still have strong sexual desire whereas the woman has long since retired.
    One guy told me that if you were to put a marble in a jar for all the times you have sex in your first year of marriage, you would fill the jar to the brim. After that first year, if you were to begin to remove a marble every time you had sex with your wife you would die before it was empty. Hahahahaha

    I've cheated and been cheated on. My girlfriend now though, for some reason, has me whipped. I will look at other women but I won't touch because sure enough, her crying face will pop into my mind and I wouldn't be able to do it. I think it varies with each individual's conscience and who they'te with.

    • I know initially you wouldn't cheat on someone but when under certain circumstances I think anyone would cheat. I don't think it has so much to do with someone's partner, it's more the idea of having someone new and feeling attractive to others.

        Oh. Maybe. But certain people are more likely to cheat than others. I think the only way I will cheat on my girlfriend is if she does it first. Lol. Plus I can't lie and I always end up telling on myself. I would prefer not to carry around the guilt if I did cheat. It feels a lot better to be open with a clear conscience.

    Fuck if i know.

    What i do know is that i have up to now never cheated on my wife.

    I say up to now because who knows what the future may bring i hope i do the right thing if the opportunity drops on my lap so to speak.

    But as we are all human i can't say for sure.

    I can't imagine cheating. I just couldn't hurt him like that. I can understand that either of us could be attracted to other people, but does it really take that much self control to not cheat?

    I just can't understand it for myself. I have friends who have cheated, and in their circumstances, I see why they did it, and I don't judge them, but I still don't condone it.

      That makes no sense you dumbass. "I don't judge them but I don't condone".

      That's a "judgment" call you idiot.

      Fuck you.

        Idiot.

        Just because I don't condone a behaviour, doesn't mean I have to see anyone who does that as a bad person.

        Fuck you in the ass, mouth and cunt, fuck you in the eye.

    You're deluding yourself if you think you will never be attracted to someone else in a ltr, nor have the urge to cheat. And I suspect that that delusion greatly contributes to people actually cheating because they're caught off guard and unprepared when those urges inevitably pop up.

    I think it's a difference in lifestyle and mentality? Some people live life pursuing anything and everything that gives them pleasure. For others, pleasure exists in making difficult/meaningful/moralistic choices.

    • I guess but I know quite a few people who have high morals and they've cheated on their partner. It amazes that some people say they're only attracted to their partner but I find that impossible when over the course of a persons life they're going to meet hundreds of people.
