Really, What’s the Point of Cheating?

Cheating is something I have never really been able to understand, like why do people cheat? Am I the only one that thinks it’s a lot of work?! Nowadays it’s like, cheating is not as big of a deal anymore, I mean, it’s so bad that having a side chick or a side bobo is like a fashion trend! You could catch your partner cheating on you and when he gets a chance to explain he says “she’s just a side chick, you know you’re my main girl” like, wait, is that supposed to make me feel better or..?

Why do people cheat?? I ask this question a lot but I have never really gotten a satisfactory answer. We all know the common reasons behind cheating is lack of romance or proper communication, most times Men and Women cheat because they are not happy in their relationships. Communication is the key to a healthy relationship, so even if you’re as proud as Kanye west you have to put that away and talk about your problems.

But then what about the ones that are happy in their relationships but cheat anyway? Most of the time, if not all the time, the reason behind that is Self-gratification. I mean, as humans we all have a natural desire to satisfy our needs but then we also have a natural desire for intimacy, and unfortunately these two needs often seem to be in conflict with each other, but then the reality is, if you really love someone you will be willing to sacrifice your own self-gratification to remain faithful, because the truth is if you’re really in love you would put in effort to NOT mess up.
Definitely there will be temptations, some women are just mean! But if you really loved your partner and a woman with a face like Meagan Good and a body like Beyoncé or a man with eyes like Michael Ealy and a body like Trey Songz tried to seduce you, you wouldn’t fall for it, you might have to put up a pretty good fight but believe it or not that’s what love can do to you. Therefore, there is really never a good reason to cheat, unless of course you’re dating a crazy person like Eminem who has the whole ‘if I cant have you no one else can’ mentality, but then that’s highly unlikely!
So if you’re in a relationship and you’re not happy then end it, if you think cheating on your partner is better than breaking up and hurting their feelings you are very wrong, because either way they are going to get hurt. And if you feel there’s no problem with your relationship but you’re still cheating anyway then you’re just not in love and you have no business being in a relationship, if you were really in love you wouldn’t cheat, because if you love something you don’t just let it go.
