Hey guys!
I just celebrated my year and a half anniversary with my boyfriend yesterday. It's kind of weird to be in a relationship that long when you're in your first year of college, but I've knew a couple who have been together for almost 6 years and they're the same age as me. It's crazy!
I love the idea of finding "the one", getting married, and growing old together, which brings me into the topic I had in mind for today. Infidelity.
We've all heard about Tiger Woods (most of us have heard, at least) and his sex scandal with various women, including a porn star who recently put up a website and posted the "alleged" sex text messages between her and Tiger.
Now, it is rumored that Jesse James had an affair. He had apologized to his wife, Sandra Bullock, but didn't admit to the public that an infidelity had occured.
So, I want to get your perspective on why some people cheat (both men and women). Why do you think that some people can't settle down with just person for the rest of their lives? I'm curious to see what you guys think because, personally, I don't understand the mindset of those people. For me, it's like.. get a divorce or break up beforehand. I don't know. It'd be interesting to get your input. :)
Anyways, Happy Friday, guys! Have an awesome weekend! :D

I think it has to do with ego, whether they're a celebrity, or just a 'regular' joe. Tiger was golf's golden boy, and it went to his head. Anything he wanted was his, and he took it. I'm especially sad about Jesse James. Yet, his ego got the best of him and he has possibly ruined the best thing that he's ever had.
I definitely think ego plays a big part in it. Having someone want you after years of being with the same person will cause some people to throw away what is truely important.
Real life is kids, jobs, bills, etc. and with a girlfriend all of that is gone. It's "easy" and stress free. It's also incredibly selfish and one of the worst things you can do to someone.
All I know is that it disgusts me. If you're not happy in a relationship leave, don't disrespect the person you are with.
Catrina- First off, I'd like to say welcome to the blog! :)
I completely agree with you on Tiger. I was extremely shocked to hear that he did cheat on his wife with multiple women. He just looks likes a standup guy. I guess it's just another lesson where looks can be decieving.
I also couldn't believe it that Jesse James had "allegedly" cheated on Sandra! One, because I love them both together and I can see how much they love each other. Two, I loved him on Celebrity Apprentice. Three, I don't think he can get anyone better than Sandra Bullock. SHE WON AN OSCAR! I'm still holding out hope that he didn't cheat on her and the allegations are false.
Stephanie- It disgusts me too! I absolutely agree that you have to respect the person you're with by telling them if you cheat (things happen, I understand) or leave first. When my boyfriend and I first got together I told him: do not ever cheat on me, I would rather you send me a two second text message, breaking up with me and then hook up with a chick than cheat on me.
I'm not sure that I agree that having a girlfriend is easy or stress free. I would think that hiding it would cause MAJOR stress on an individual if they really don't want their husband or wife to find out.
I think that a big part of why people may cheat is the routine and the lack of excitement. After many years being together, I would assume (since I haven't been in a relationship that lasted years and years) that the passion and attraction would die down a bit and the relationship would become stale. I'm sure there might be arguments about money/bills/going out.
Again, I don't speak from first-hand knowledge so I wouldn't know. It irritates me that there are people who think it is ok to do it and that it's ok to be the other man or the other woman.
