It feels like every time I turn around, someone is cheating in his or her relationship. The sad part about cheating is that usually the person committing it does not understand the effects of his or her actions. Cheating is one of the worst things you can do to your partner. I can tell you first hand how significant the power cheating is. It breaks hearts and so much more-- it destroys a person’s confidence. Once you have been cheated on it's hard to look at yourself the same way, it takes your ability to trust someone and throws it out the window. What a horrible feeling, to not only dislike yourself, but to also feel an overwhelming sensation that you cannot trust anyone. You feel trapped.

It’s disappointing how frequent cheating is these days. What ever happened to staying with one person? Is that not what a relationship is? I guess it is more fun to just do whatever you want, that seems to be the mindset of many, lately. There is nothing wrong with doing whatever you want, but it is wrong when it is at the extent of other people, the people who care about you. What you are doing to that person is leaving an imprint that never really goes away, no matter how hard they try. Cheating is a selfish action. Maybe if people stopped thinking of only themselves and started thinking about the affects of their actions, this would not be so common. I do not know the meaning of life, or why humans are given a chance to live, but I can promise it is not to be selfish. Know your worth and change this trend. Walk away from the people who do not value you.
