S/O Have you ever been cheated on?

i have never cheated but have had it done to me a couple of times. he even gave me chlamydia. 2 days later my bff told me she had it... hmmm. yep you figured it out. he was cheating on me with my bff. it took me years (like 8) to forgive her. she was insistent and i am glad i did. i even forgave him. but i broke up with him. i wont date anyone or stay married to anyone who would cheat on me. i will put up with a lot of stuff, but the absolute deal breakers are, cheating on me and hitting me. you have to have respect for your partner. i just dont see how anyone can be a cheater and have respect for that person at the same time. jmo.

Yep, I've been cheated on by a previous partner. At the time I was upset about it, and it took me a few months to get over it. I was more upset by the fact that he wanted the relationship to be over than by the cheating. Eventually I realized that the cheating didn't have anything to do with me (it was about him, and what he wanted out of life), and got over it. I never reestablished a romantic relationship with that partner, but we did become friends again. He was in my wedding, and we've been 'just friends' for about 12 years now.

My ex-husband left us for a co-worker he had "fallen in love with".

Yep, divorced my x over it.

Up until recently, I would have said "nope/never". I chose "I have no idea". My ex-husband recently came out of the closet, and I had a long talk with an old friend of ours, who is bi, when I found out. That friend says that he wondered a long time ago about some odd incidents when ds1 was very little. He thought my ex might have been "trolling" for gay sex, and got pummeled. At the time, I'd have laughed off such a thought, but I have to wonder now. I had no hint that my ex was gay (neither did anybody else, except this one friend - the news hit our old circle like bomb), so something like that would have never crossed my mind.

I'm absolutely certain that he never cheated with another woman, and equally (or more) certain that dh has never cheated on me.

I put "I have no idea". My current partner has never and would never cheat on me. I question whether my ex (ds's bio-dad) cheated on me while I was pregnant, but I have no concrete evidence that he did. I left him when ds was less than 2 months old.

I don't like the poll options. I put "I have no idea" because in reality you don't ever truly know for absolute certain that it hasn't happened but I really don't think so.

With the obvious caveat of: I've been in many poly relationships. I don't think anyone has ever seriously breached the rules of a relationship with me. (Honestly I suspect that most of the people I have dated would be kind of afraid to brake the rules with me if they wanted to keep dating me. I'm uhm kind of aggressive.)

I was cheated on by my partner in my first intimate relationship. I am fairly sure that I was cheated on by a long term live in boyfriend. I don't care though. The relationship ended for different reasons. I am not sure if he did or not. Her phone number started showing up on cell bills after we separated. We were NOT compatible.

Well I'm not a believer and have been cheated on twice that I know of, and yet I'm 1000% sure my DH would never cheat on me is just not who he is you know, his social skills are very poor and if he and I were to brake up I can totally see him being single for the rest of his life, not that I would ever wish that on him, and it certanly isn't what I would do, but it's just his personality.

Sorry about the poll options it's all I could think of, and i usually dislike other.

A long-term ex-boyfriend cheated on me, but he ended up married to and having a beautiful family with the girl. I was devastated at the time but have come to realize that we were both obviously meant to be with other people.

theres no both...

My DH had at the very least an "emotional affair" though I think there was probably sexual stuff going on. It hurt...a lot and it still gets to me on occasion. If I hadn't been pregnant at the time with DS1, I would have left him without even asking for an explanation- even though I love him very much. Its definitely taken a toll on my self esteem and hurt our relationship a great deal. Hopefully, one day we will heal from it.
