INFIDELITY





What is infidelity?


My good friend Mr. Webster defines it as: marital disloyalty; adultery; unfaithfulness.


As a big follower of the idea of a "perfect relationship" and "soulmates," infidelity is a very big no-no. While women like to talk to their friends about how hard it is to find a good man who won't cheat, women are guilty of the same crime as men. Anyone that has ever watched at least 4 minutes of any episode of Desperate Housewives, knows exactly what I mean.

What causes people to cheat, men and/or women? Is it boredom, revenge, an uncontrollable sex drive, or is it just the thrill of being able to have more than one "mate?" One of the main definitions of infidelty is "unfaithfulness." Where is the loss of faith? Is it the absence of faith in their partners, or the loss of faith in themselves or their ability to stay with someone and keep their partner interested? Do people just cheat just to do it, because they want to go on to something better or what? I'm not writing this to criticize cuz the last thing I want to do is be a hypocrite. This is merely my shot at trying to figure out what happens and why? I can't speak for everyone in the world, but when this occurred to me, when it was over, I felt horrible. I really just wish people could stay together. I wish people could find their soulmates and "my first love" was peoples' only loves.
