Cheats, Cheaters & Two-Timing B.S.

BY BART SMITH, AUTHOR OF B.S. THE BOOK

Ladies, stay away from married men. Men, stay away from married women. The same goes for dating, don’t get involved with someone that’s already dating somebody. If you’re interested in them, look to other opportunities.

Not only is it not right, it’s B.S. Look, if you’re feeling the urge to date someone else, before you go and do something you know you will regret later, confront your current love interest with the problem, and if necessary, break it off first before you do anything. Let them know you are losing interest and want to break up or (gosh) get a divorce.

If you or the other person IS unsatisfied in the relationship, well, with respect, allow mother nature (and the law) to take its course. Everyone's entitled to be within someone they truly love or loves them (more) in return.

Heaven forbid if the one you love (or loved) finds out about your "dirty deed" later through someone else! Imagine the everlasting pain and suffering you both might feel forever!

Don’t spoil your reputation as a man or a woman. Do the right thing! Be UP FRONT FIRST! Save yourself the embarrassment and wasted time and agony later when you get caught – because you will (cheaters always do). Women will see it in your eyes, smell it on your clothes and see it in your behavior.

What about apologies and saying your sorry? Will that make up for your (cheating) mistake and make things better again? It depends. What's at stake? Children? Money? Have you been in the relationship a long time and don't want to throw that away, but you made one big friggin' mistake? Well, you certainly can get down on your knees, beg for forgiveness, do every chore in the house for the rest of your life (while saying your sorry every day), promise never to be seen near that man/woman again and make a daily effort to prove your love for the one you're with over and over again.

For the one you cheated against, they should give you a 30-60-90 day evaluation for your efforts to show you're sorry. Then, the entire year, you should be on probation. Make one move towards cheating again, and you should know, you have a problem. The other (in your life) really does have the reason to leave you.

Having said all that, there's more where this came from. More later …
