Is it normal to love but still cheat?

I'm in love with my boyfriend. We have been together for over 6 years. We have a life together. He is away a lot and I have cheated on him twice. I don't know what is wrong with me. I regretted it both time and still love my boyfriend.

    He's not emotionally there for you I guess but you want to be for him? Is that right? I think you should try to get onto to talking to eachother more while he's away, I seriously recommend Skype. You should also tell him what happened when the time is right, though.

    I don't like you. You should get to relaying the truth to your "boyfriend" (or perhaps, your piggy bank, pleasure juice dispenser, whatever you want to call him). He's away a lot. Don't tell me he is overseas in armed conflict.

    You are disgusting and ungrateful. If anything, I hope he has been unfaithful to you and brands you with a never-ending disease. Or starts a family and leaves you for them as they give him the love you clearly cannot deliver, in its authenticity.

    If he finds out about your cheating and dumps you don't cry about it because it would of course be entirely your fault.

    I think you're selfish and untrustworthy I'm a male and I don't understand why honesty isn't in most women I hear are in these situations. Chances are, had you talked to him about your expectations earlier in the relationship, I.e. never leaving for extended Times or frequently then you two could have worked something out or both found someone else. I'm completely open to being equal. You should have told him it's ok if he were to have someone if the trips ever occurred. You basically want him to be monogamous but whatever you feel is whatever. You can't love and lie. You know he'll take care of you while others just use you so you stick with him, but cheat...selfish and you've become the user.

    And i swear, if he's always gone because he's taking care of you I.e. a job, then you're a sorry piece of....OH! and if he's military, go kill yourself. These guys risk their lives. LIFE!! I've seen my MARINES completely hopeless because of cheating bitches.

    Once is a slip up, that you should always own up to. More? that's you planning and executing. You're grown, but lie. for what? I don't understand why grownups lie about stupid shit.

    I'm not sure if it's normal to love and still cheat, but I do know that many people struggle with temptation in distance relationships. I would recommend talking on the phone more often when he's away and see if that helps. If increased contact does not help, then maybe you need to be with someone who's away less often. I also agree with Short4Words that you should consider telling him what happened, at an appropriate time. If you do decide to tell him, be prepared to accept that he may want to end the relationship.

    If you were not married would it still be "cheating?"
