Would you...?

Earlier on today, I thought about one of my previous posts, and i decided that people sometimes cheat simply because the opportunity presents itself andthey just cant resist.

A simple example would suffice.

Suppose you need to pee..like really badly..and so you rush for the loo. Inside, after relieving yourself, you find a handphone. Now..it's that really nice phone you've always wanted but never bought for some reason or other. Nobody else is in the toilet. You wait 5 minutes (although i wouldn't. i'd just off the damn phone. I'm not that honest!)... but nobody comes banging on your door looking for the phone. Would you keep it?

Similarly, would people be more likely to cheat if they were presented with the opportunity?

Sometimes, its not because you don't want to cheat..but rather, there is no opportunity. I mean i could really like this guy..but if he doesn't return the hots for me, i'd just have no choice but to forget it...right? But suppose the opportunity presented itself, suppose this guy i've been eyeing tells me in the most affirmative way that he likes me too and takes concrete steps to prove it...would i still say no? Maybe not.

Of course if u are madly in love with your partner, the answer would be a definite no. But, how often are we still madly in love with our significant other after being together for some time? Becoming disillusioned and more realistic is one thing, but that coupled with lovers quarrels and unresolved issues, finding someone new at your disposal is sometimes really just escapism.

Resisting temptation is hard and i will admit that i have never been really very good at it either.

The only thing that usually holds me back is the threat of being found out. And how my bf may kill me. I had an ex. once who really threatened to kill and/or disfigure me...not pleasant at all. Oh...and Aids is pretty scary too. I don't want to die ugly and in pain. Oh, and what would i do if the world found out about it too. Usually, these tactics work to hold me in check. Usually.

So really...it's not always in the name of love that people stay faithful, you know.
