"while" is the subordination conjunction in this sentence. It indicates that the action of outlining the essay is happening simultaneously with the action of waiting for the bus, showing the relationship between the two events.

Why do human beings tend to be guilty of prejudice?

Bear with me.First, prejudice is not quite accurate. Awareness of difference is perhaps a bit more accurate if not a bit long.You. The guy next to you. The girl next to him, and everyone else around you live and experience life the same way: through your own senses, Contained completely within your own body. While you can be influenced by outside forces, all of it is still filtered through you. So, even in a group of 100, or 1,000, or 100,000,000 you do not really have a group. What you have is 100, or 1,000, or 100,000,000 individual perspectives. You can only know the information your sense offer you. While it is possible to some degree to empathize with another, it is not possible at all to actually see the world through the eyes of another (metaphorically and literally speaking). As a result, your perspectives are skewed by your own experience and your analysis of the information gained by those experiences.So, if you live where you were born, have never traveled beyond that place, and know nothing else, you can only analyze anything based on that information.Short personal story that might help: When my oldest daughter was two years old, she went everywhere with me. She was a talker and a charmer. She talked to everyone, and constantly asked questions. At the time, I was laid off and collecting unemployment, so she went with me to the unemployment office and waited in line with me. Two hours. She was great, talked to everyone, asked them questions, introduced them to Dolby (her noise reduction bear). As the line snaked around, an African-American gentleman passed us. My daughter had never seen a black person, and she stared at him wide eyed, twisting backward in her stroller to watch him. As the line came around, and the man came next to us again, she reached out to tap me and asked, "Daddy, why is that man all covered with chocolate?" There must have been close to 200 people in the office, and every one of them heard her. Instant, total silence descended, and just as immediately half of them burst out in laughter. The man squatted down to talk to her and showed her by letting her pinch his arm that it was not chocolate but his real skin.Was my two year old daughter, who had never seen anyone other than Caucasians prejudice? Nope, but she was aware of the difference, and based on what she knew tried to make sense of it.Consider for a moment that the inaccurate asking of potentially loaded questions does more to spread discrimination than natural, innocent ignorance.In short, humans do not tend to be guilty of prejudice.


Why do boys cheat?

AnswerThe short answer is, they cheat just because they want to. They will make all kinds of excuses to convince themselves that they are justified in cheating.AnswerDear Reader; Just to be sure we are on the same page, let us say that cheating is a violation of a committed relationship. Cheating can come from confusion in a persons mind as to just what they want to do. Cheating can come from attempts to get more attention. Cheating can come from dishonesty. Cheating can come from unresolved conflicts in a relationship. Cheating can come from one being dissatisfied with a relationship but not willing to leave it. Cheating can come from the damage that follows sex outside of marriage or other conduct that tends to put distance between persons rather then bring them together. Dwight they just don't to tell you there cheating on youAnswerthey only cheat because they think its cool but its not and most girls are as guilty as boys are for cheating! ANSWERBOYS CHEAT BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT BE HAPPY WITH THE RELANTIONSHIP. THEY MAY ALSO CHEAT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT HAPPY. ANOTHER REASON IS BECAUSE THE SEX MIGHT NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH AND THEY ARE LOOKIN FOR SOMETHING BETTER.ANSWERBoys also cheat because they want to be with one girl because shes hot and the other because she isn't annoying *hint* boys are never gonna have the perfect girl so the gotta have two different persons for two different personalities.ANSWERBoys may cheat because they want to have sex and your just not ready...they think 1month is a long enough time to wait to have sex..so they seek it in other places..boys also cheat because they think there cool iif they do and so they do it hoping there girlfriend doesnt find out..i agree that they are not happy in a relationship but they don't want to leave...trust me...i had a gut feelin that my boyfriend was cheating on me with a girl that i hate...and my feelings were for real...he cried to me telling me that he doesnt wanna lose me and hes not letting me go..he also went as far as sayin that the girl was promiscuous and how he cant be with some one like that because she isn't faithful...then he claimed he doesnt talk to her anymore...lets just say i caught him talkin to her on his day off of work..mind you he told me he had to work so he couldn't hang out...so when i saw him talkin to the girl i waited a while and then i went to his job and he wasnt there...hmmmm..so i texted him and asked him if he wanted me to come and chill at his house..he replys no because hes working..hmmmm so i said umm i jus went there and didnt c u...so he says hes downstairs in the basement of his job..hmmmmm so i said well tell the girl i said heyy wassup...its over (i saw them talkin in front of his building and i know he brought her upstairs to his house) like i jus saw him with the girl......his response was ok whatever...YES IM HURT BUT HEYY WHAT CAN I DO.. so boys cheat for many reasons and then try to lie and when they get caught they try to flip it and have attitude with u...whateveranswer;some boys cheat because they're insecure. have you ever been in a relationship and thought that things were going so good and then one day your boyfriend is mad at you, not talking to you or just blantly ignoring you? he talks to ever one excepts you and then when you see each other he acts like he doesn't see you or either walks the other way? we can only assume one thing that he's sooo over you. well the problem really is as simple as this. he's either cheated on you and feels guilty about what he's done or either he's just tired of you. if you was to come on a situaiton like this one, don't force him to talk to you cause that wikll make him even more annoyed, what you should do is write him a long txt message or either a note that let him know you understand how he's feeling let him know that you are always there for him and then tell him to call you or write you when he's ready to talk.but then again some boys cheat because they feel that it makes them ore of a man to have more than one lady on his arm. it gives him some kind of power when he has two girls telling him that they loves him


How can you stop yourself from trying to call someone who dumped you?

i think the best way is just to keep yourself occupied, and keep yourself around friends. i know that there will be times where you will be sitting looking at your phone, but it will take time and just have the self discipline to say no. also delete their number, and any ways that you can contact them. (email address etc) ==I need closure though!== It is very hard because of the circumstance and i feel I need answers. Were together 9yrs were each others first and everything, he did sometime in prison a while back and I waited for him because I believed we were meant to be. He never wanted for nothing and I loved unconditionally. Moved in previously and after a couple of months things started to change. He didn't do much around the house and made me feel I was nagging when I asked for help he started to find me annoying. His wages didn't add up to much and quiet often I found myself paying for the rent and sorting things out for the house. I was very strict with him and always made him pay back as I believed everything should be 50/50 he didn't like this at the best of times. All he cared about was buying himself a new car because he had passed his exams and although our lease was nearly out he didn't care about a new home he wanted a car. The arguments started and I was always in the wrong I felt like for most of the time I was tip toeing around him, because he lost his rag over anything and everything and it was always my fault. He started being horrible - he wasn't sure he wanted to be with me, his feelings were changing and when he had calmed down and I had confronted him, he only said it out of anger and didn't mean it! But he kept saying such things - one day he was so horrid I asked him why he didn't just go - his response was that he had no where to go, again later he didn't mean it, he loved me didn't know how to be without me. Then one day he said he was sick of being unhappy and that he wanted to get as far away from me as possible - this time I told him to go and he was shocked said but he loved me - he was so confused he was starting to confuse me - bearing in mind we were meant to move into our new home that day. He left for a walk and before I knew it his uncle was at the door to collect his stuff unbelievable he had spoken to them in the morning and it was arranged! So I was in the toilet before he left he came in and asked me to tell him what to do and he will do it, that he didn't mean to hurt me. Without knowing where I was going to live he left me with my bags and was gone. I was homeless my old lease had run out and the new landlord will not accept me on my own because we thought it was couple. I had lost the deposit and haven't heard from him since. This is why I feel I need to closure - Even till that morning I was his world - even though he had said so many horrid things, then a couple of hours later he was out of the door............. It will be better in the long run for your self esteem. In my experience it will make you feel worse if you call as it will probably create further distance. If they want to call you they have your number. The truth of the matter hon is this young man was trouble long before you met him and ended up in prison. Prison can be a brutal place and anything could have happened to him in there. I don't think I have to paint you a picture of prison life. It appears he has been wandering aimlessly without resolution to his problems, but part of the cure is in himself. He has to admit to having problems (mostly anger problems from the sounds of it) and he hasn't taken the responsibility for seeking out therapy. It's wonderful to be kind to your mate, but another thing to spoil them rotten which you did! You took over all the responsibilities when you should have included him in paying bills, letting him know how much things cost and that you can't have everything. The other problem is once you have a prison record it is sometimes difficult to get a good paying job. The Parole Officer (if he has one) will often help with a job, but they usually are low paying jobs. This does little for your boyfriend's self esteem. It is also very apparent that he has had his own way for too long and doesn't like to be controlled, but was controlled in prison. Once out he was bound and determined to live like a gypsy and stomp on anyone that got in his way. Instead of using his energy to make a better person of himself he has decided to go back down that black alley yet once again. Don't follow him! In his eyes you were controlling him by doing all the right things and he didn't like it. He's spoiled and out of control. It is true HE HAD NOWHERE TO GO! His family has probably had enough of him and so should you feel the same way. He was using you as a place to flop! His middle name is "denial" and he hasn't learned one thing from being in prison. He blames you for all his problems and you should have asked him "Well, you weren't so great before and I wasn't in the picture at the time so what was your excuse then?" He's had a life of doing what he feels like and I have no doubt this guy wants bigger things in his life even if it means doing a criminal act to get it. He wants to have money, cars, freedom and be someone. He has a distorted view of reality. I hope one of our Supers Mackey comes along and adds onto this in a legal sense (I'm Canadian) but it sounds as if your landlord took both of you at your word and has already rented out your place and that's why you can't stay where you are. Otherwise it's pure discrimination. You said you had talked to him this morning. I think YOU are confused and fear being left out on the streets and this is forcing you to put up with his crap to put it quite frankly. This is NOT love! You are wishful thinking. Thank your lucky stars this guy will hopefully be out of your life because he doesn't offer you much of a future. This has nothing to do with his prison term, but he learns his lessons the hard way, wants to make it big and have his toys and then he thinks he'll be happy, but he won't unless he gets that therapy he has needed for many years. You didn't mention if you had family in the area. If you do phone them and see if you can live with them until you get your feet under you. If you have no family then ask a friend if they can put you up. This will give you a chance to get your feet under you, perhaps get a better paying job. By the way, DON'T leave a forwarding address for this jerk to follow you. You don't need an explanation hon, we've given you reason enough to kick this guy to the bricks. You did nothing wrong with the exception of not kicking his hide out the door earlier. If you don't accept the true nature of this man then you are stunting your own personal growth and the chance of meeting a wonderful young man that will put you first which you deserve. It's your choice! Good luck The best thing I found was to go and hang out with the opposite sex, preferrably your closer friends. They know you and you will value their opinion more than a friend from the same sex. It sounds weird but It helped me. The main thing to do is not call them! Whatever you are thinking doesn't matter, just DO NOT CALL. It looks desperate and needy. Show some respect for yourself you obviosly deserve better than them. Someone that appreciates you. Stay positive and learn from the breakup. A better love will come or he/she will realizes what they lost and want things to workout and become better, but let them have space to think. And yes you are capable of having a better relationship than the last one.


Is it 'once a cheater always a cheater' or is it based on the situation people are in?

No that isn't true. I speak in behalf of my own experience. I was with a guy, he was extremely disrespectful, he lied and always tried to control me. He even cheated and forced me to stay, physically. I stayed, but I cheated on him, and after a while I left and got with the man I was cheating with. He treats me respectfully and he is loving. I've been with him for over 3 years and not once have I cheated or even thought about it. Some people cheat just to cheat, others cheat because at the time they feel that's the only way to get out of their problems. It all depends on the person and what they went through. You're not always a cheater just because you cheated once before.AnswerI don't think that's always true. My girlfriend and I have broken up and what started the break up was her cheating on me with two other guys in the last week of our relationship. She was wasted drunk both times and is so upset. She found it hard to give me reasons to start with but now says she did it because she didn't know how else to end the relationship. A solid and concrete way of telling herself it was over between myself and her. Because we have had problems for a long time and in the end doing that to me was like forcing herself to make a decision.I once kissed another girl while I was in a different relationship, and I told my girlfriend of the time and said I'd never do it again. Because it was true! When I did that, it was fun at the time but when I thought about it, it was one of the worst things I could ever do, and I promised myself that I would NEVER do anything like that again to anybody ever again. And i haven't. And I never will.So I really do believe it depends on the situation and the person. People make mistakes. That's a fact. And for all different reasons. In my opinion its usually because the relationship you're in is bad. Not necessarily because you can't control your sexuality. Sex is just sex. You've just got to figure out whether your cheating partner really believes it was a mistake. Or whether its something they don't think is that bad. If they truly believe it was a mistake, they may have a high enough opinion of themselves that they vow never to do it again.I would like to hear a psychologist's view on all this and whether or not there is some kind of scientific likelihood of it happening again if you've already done it. A genetic or evolutionary weakness lets say?AnswerI don't think that the saying "Once a Cheater, Always a Cheater" applies to everyone. Perhaps it does apply to those who have cheated numerous times in different relationships, but if you are applying it to a person who has only cheated in one relationship, then you should take into account the reasons WHY they cheated before judging them.I know a person who cheated on his wife, but only after she had face-to-face told him (in their bedroom no less) that she was not attracted to him and had absolutely no interest in having sex with him, period. Additionally, she expected that he would continue to support her and stay in the marriage. He waited 6 months, hoping things would change, and when they didn't, he started looking elsewhere for sexual gratification, but stayed in the marriage with the hopes that she would come around and things would get better. After 2 years of waiting (and getting sex-without-strings elsewhere) , he told her he wanted a divorce and then he told her he had been cheating on her and why he cheated (basically in the hope that she would quit sponging off him and leave). She refused to leave and also threatened him with 'she would make his life living hell, make the divorce/ separation living hell, plus she would refuse to sign the divorce papers if he left her'. The guy felt like crap for cheating on her (still does), and he cared about what happened to her (still does), but he also knew he had been treated very badly for the last 6 years of his marriage, and he felt like he had been used, not to mention that she had bluntly told him she found him completely unattractive, but expected that outside of sex, nothing would change. When he told me all of this, it was glaringly obvious that his ex had stopped loving him about 3 years ago, but was too much of a coward and too dependent on him, to leave and take on the responsibility of taking care of herself. The woman was (is) a leech. (she even refused to get her own driver's license just so she could have him drive her around everywhere). When I talked to him (at great length) he admitted that even though he did cheat, he wouldn't do it again, because (he said) that if he was in a loving relationship with someone, he wouldn't have to look elsewhere for something he was getting through his relationship with someone he loved. And although what he did was WRONG, he came clean AND he was/is right in saying that a person should be able to get the sexual gratification they need as long as they are in a LOVING relationship, unless there is a medically, physical or mental reason why it cannot be so.So, my answer is NO. Once a Cheater does NOT mean Always a Cheater. Gather the facts and review the reasons, BEFORE you judge. Oh, and who says we have the right to judge others for their actions anyway? We are not God or Gods. We as human beings DO NOT have the RIGHT to JUDGE others. And if you question this, try looking in the mirror and go over EVERY WRONG you have done in your life, and think about whether or not you think someone else has the RIGHT to judge you. Then, if you can still face yourself, try telling me that you have the right to judge and condemn someone else for their actions or lack thereof. See? Not so easy to do now, is it?AnswerFrom my experience, this is certainly true. I married a habitual cheater who I thought had reformed and was ready to settle down. Two years later she had an affair. Then after 2 years of counseling and trying to recover from the affair, she left me and began a relationship with another guy. My suspicions are that she was with him before she ever left me. Well, 3 months have passed, she has been with this guy for a while now and recently she called me up and wanted to sleep with me while she was with this other guy. We met up last night and had a quick fling and she left with plans to come see me again tomorrow. She calls me up today and says that she feels guilty but she is still on for more cheating. She can't seem to stop herself. This confirms that getting a divorce from her is a good decision. She is incapable of being in a faithful monogamous relationship. Now I get free booty with no strings attached and it sure feels good that I am somewhat getting my revenge on the bastard that she left me for. But to answer the question, yes, definitely, once a cheater, always a cheater. I wish I would would have known this before I married her. People who are habitual cheaters are sick and need serious professional help to stop their addiction. Some never do.AnswerSome people cheat in one relationship, realize what they did, and don't make the same mistake again. Other people cheat throughout various relationships. If they have cheated more that once, they should be considered a risky person to get involved with.It also depends on how they handled the situation. Did the cheater only end the affair when they were caught? Do they blame the person they were dating/married to for their affair? Do they brag about the affair at all? If so, I personally would not trust them.AnswerOnce a cheater always a cheater is definitely true. My husband cheated on me a long time ago, (he got caught) and swore he will never do it again, we went to counseling and had another child and I started trusting him again. After almost 13 years of marriage he left for someone else, then came back asking for forgiveness, I let him come back and he promised again he will never do it again, until i found out he was still cheating and i threw him out, and now i am filing for divorce, after my divorce started i have found out he kept cheating on me numerous times, i just didn't know about it. I think a cheater, is more careful the next time, but they always keep on cheating. They want their cake and eat it too. (This is my personal opinion). If your boyfriend or husband has cheated on you once, be sure he will do it again. Just more cautiously.AnswerI tend to disagree. I slept with a very close friend who is in a relationship with my sister. I've known this guy for as long as she has. When they got together she turned on him like a wild animal, and I've seen it. Sometimes it was justified, but most of the time it wasn't; like the one night she beat him up. They've both done a lot of damage to this relationship. They've been together for 2 years and I feel sorry for him. He's been kicked around a lot. He feels not like a boyfriend, or husband but like a "glorified babysitter." I think it all depends on the reasons why someone cheats. If its just about sex then yeah he'll cheat again, but if a relationship is on the rocks and has been for a long time, then, no the old saying doesn't always apply.AnswerThat just sounds like the guy is afraid to break up with her. Still, the "overlapping" of sexual partners doesn't look good for either party.AnswerA person's past behavior is almost always indicative of their future behavior.AnswerI don't believe it's true. I met my now husband while married to my first husband. I felt really bad about cheating on him so I got a divorce and married the man I was seeing and been married for 13 yrs and have never cheated again. I think its all in the happiness of the marriage etc.AnswerPersonally, I think people who cheat are the scum of the Earth. If you are not happy in the relationship, just be honest and try to work things out peacefully (whether by sticking it out or parting ways). I have been in a relationship of eight years only to recently discover that my ex had cheated at least twice on me...but only after the relationship was over (in his mind). He didn't mention anything to me about his plans to run out on me. Hell, the dirt bag had already bought a house.I had stressed numerous times before that if he were ever not happy in the relationship to just tell me and then move on. He is such a loser and a coward. People like him make others so untrusting of relationships. I will not be the fool ever again. Screw the lying and cheating cowards of this world! I hold onto the belief that everything come backs home eventually. Maybe he will find someone to love so much one day and then discover they have treated him the way he has treated me. Just to see this would be oh-so-nice.AnswerIn my experience, yes, once a cheat, always. My boyfriend cheated on one of his exes with his best friend's girlfriend and now I'm afraid he'll do the same to me.AnswerIt wont always be true.It will depend on the person, their beliefs on relationships, their past, your past and the situation and reasons.Some people can be serial cheats who love the thrill of being naughty and nearly being caught.Some don't like the responsibility and pressure of a monogamous relationship,some have confidence issues that may last their lifetime and make them look for attention where they are likely to get it, (IE men, women sex and love) Some people simply feel unhappy in their relationship, and life and look for some happiness out of the buzz you get when meeting someone and getting to know them and then never cheat again . All you can do is talk to them about why they cheated, trust them when and if they say they wont do it again and see how your life goes or leave them if you feel you cant trust them.AnswerMy first marriage was to a man that cheated (loved women). Still, it depends on the individual that cheated. We are only humans and not 100% perfect. If this person has never cheated before, realizes their mistake and owns up to it to their partner then they deserve a second chance. If you have to catch them at cheating (like I did) then they are a waste of skin and not worth trusting. Once a person cheats for whatever reason they have broken the bond of trust and it will take some time for the person to forgive completely and trust the cheater in question.AnswerI'm lucky to have a lot of friends who talk to me about their relationships so I feel that I have fair source of information on this subject. What I noticed more than anything. The people who cheated claim the saying is false and that people can change. The people who had been cheated on said that it was true and that people never change. I'm going to have to agree with the saying as always being true. All my friends who said they would never cheat again did. People claim that it depends on the situation. I think that is an extremely poor excuse. If you don't have it in you to be a man/woman and tell you partner that you'd rather be with somebody else before you cheat you never will. Also just because a person hasn't cheated before doesn't mean they would never cheat. Maybe the need for them to cheat never arrived. I remember in college I really wanted to explore because I had been with one person during my younger years. So I did I just simply told the people I was in relationships that If it got boring I was gonna move on. Problem was after the first girl the second had me whipped and I married her LOL. Never Cheated.ANSWERNo, this is not always the case. I have cheated in one relationship in the course of my life. It was a mistake. I should have ended the relationship before moving on to someone else. I would never do it again.Watch for patterns. There are those people we all know who never seem to be content in life no matter what they have or have achieved. In my opinion, these are the people who are most likely to cheat because they are always wanting something other than what they have. I would also say that the more easily someone lies, the more easily they will cheat.ANSWERBeing on the other side of cheating; having just been cheated on, I see a lot of justification going on and it troubles me. The truth is; being unhappy is not an excuse to cheat on someone. If you are unhappy, you confront your issues, either try to fix them, or man-up and end the relationship. Cheating is only one of many options you can choose from given a breakdown of a relationship. If someone is so unhappy that they're willing to jeopardize the marriage, then it's likely the other party isn't that happy themselves, and there's something deeply and fundamentally wrong with the relationship.The truth is, someone who chooses to cheat has no good reason or justification to do so. To say "Oh, you made me unhappy... so I did it..." is like saying "You made me mad so I hit you..." There is NO difference and no justification. You have a choice. You can choose to control yourself and face the problems themselves to solve them, or you can create more by infidelity.The bottom line is, if someone cheats, it's because they have a personal issue. *Something* in their brain told them it was okay to do what they did. It's not the spouse's problem that it happened, it's theirs. And if they made that choice once, there is a chance they'll do it again; unless they take a good strong look in the mirror and take a good long look at their issues and motivations.A cheater may cheat again and again until they address their problem. So if it happens to you, and you have the capacity to forgive; then make sure before you do, that your spouse/partner is willing to look at the ugliness that brought you both where you are--and to set aside their resentment with you long enough to take responsibility for their choices. Understanding that the very nature of cheating itself is a form of running away from problems, it might be too much to ask of this person for them to confront their own personal issues, let alone admit they have them to begin with.The most important thing is to not take the cheating as your doing. No matter how bad things have gotten; you did not force anyone to choose to sleep with someone else. That responsibility lies with the cheater.Is a cheater always a cheater? Not necessarily; however it's not the situation they're in that may cause it. What causes it is personal issues with the Cheater themselves. The recurrence of cheating behavior rests entirely on the cheater's desire to look into their own problems and to fix their own personal issues that cause them to behave as they do.ANSWERit depends on the circumstances and person/persons involved. Were there any other factors such as alcohol/grief or anything else that may distort the way a person feels? If there was then it is unlikely that they meant it and does not mean they will necessarily do it again.ANSWERIs a cheater always a cheater? I think it depends on the personal circumstances. I always said I will be a honest man and not a dog! I also believe in what goes around comes around, and if you really love some one you don't hurt them! But I remember myself cheating on my girlfriend after all the high falu manners! The reason that I cheated was because me felt so unhappy with her! I know lot of you will disagree with me because this is such a flimsy excuse! Well listen to my story: I told her about my feelings and asked her to fix our problems before I did what I have done and became a cheater! I told her that me was planing to end the relationship with her because I felt so unhappy! The problem is she has a weak heart and I really know that she loves me more than everything and If I would do this to her she may get an heart attack seriously!, then 'things could be get real ugly for real!! Well let me say it like this, I can't leave her because I know she can't live with out me and I also love her more then anything, she is my everything! But the problem is this woman can't give love! She is just a hard working woman! And I'm an emotional person! I told her that we don't belong together! So before I cheated on her I wrote her about me feelings from time to time, I wrote her about our situation and this idea's of me being unhappy, what we have to do about it and the thoughts about cheating on her to escape from me problems! So I told her about everything and that main reason getting this ideas was because of her being busy with her carrier so busy that we lived alongside totally and that me felt so lonely! The worst part of my story is that when I said this I really felt so bad after being honest, because she didn't took my complain seriously and thought I wanted some one else because me getting bored of her! Well I couldn't make it to leave her and did the nasty job!I dated my wife for years before I married her. I felt we knew each other fairly well. We got married. After one year of marriage she cheated on me and had an affair that went on for a year until I found out about it...which she denied over and over until I came up with proof. She finally accepted the fact that I knew what she had done. I was ready to divorce her but she was about 4 months pregnant with our first child. Yes, the affair was going on while she was pregnant. She broke down and confessed everything to me, asked for forgiveness on her knees to me over and over, swearing to me she would never come close to doing this again. I thought, anyone can make a mistake once in their lives, and now I have a child to think about. So we stayed married, had 3 more kids. That first child is now 12 years old. We now have 4 total. Well, Guess what? She had another affair with a neighbor no less. Same old story, she denies it till the end until I came up with proof and she finally told me everything. Same old thing, only this time she realized there is a problem...only now it is all my fault. She says she realizes now that it is because of me that she has been unfaithful and unless I change she can't stay with me. Now I have 4 totally awesome kids and love them dearly. Through much pain and agony I actually wanted to work it out again, mostly for the kids sake. We moved away from the situation and it's been about a year...trying to do whatever I can to "change" so she won't brake her vows another time. We'll, we are now separated...she moved back right next door to the person she had the second affair with...of course she says it is only because the kids are more comfortable there where we lived for 10 years and went to school. She says if I move back to the "old neighborhood" she might want to stay with me.Bottom line, Yes, The likelihood of a person who has had an affair to have another greatly goes up each and every time their traitorous. It is addictive behavior..think of an alcoholic or drug user. It's the same thing really. Unless they fix themselves it will always persist in my opinion.Do I wish now I would have gotten a divorce after the first one? Such a tough call after you have had more kids that you love. If you don't have kids I would definitely not stay with a partner who has cheated on you. Once the trust is broken it is broken...sad but true. What if you have kids?
