No one justifies lying, cheating, betraying, promise breaking, devastating and harming strangers. But we expect and we tolerate doing this to the one person in the world we promised most seriously to be faithful to forever: we justify divorce.

Sometimes there a hundred lies behind a smile and not a single truth behind a tear.

Cheaters are cowards that are tempted to chase the fantasy of what could be… instead of courageously addressing their own self-destructive behavior and cultivating what is.

I place an enormous premium on loyalty. If someone betrays me, I can forgive them rationally, but emotionally I have found it impossible to do so.

I’ve told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn’t kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

The more you defend a lie, the angrier you become.

Trying to make sense of crazy will make YOU crazy. Let it go.

True love doesn’t wander; cheating only happens when you lose sight of what truly matters.

You knew exactly what you were doing. That’s what hurts the most.

Ignoring snoring can be boring and annoying. But the noise of snoring is serenade compared to the silence of cheating.

You lift your spirits by moving away from what upsets you. If the stove is hot, you can’t ask how to touch it but be happy about it.

I’m a good enough person to forgive you, but not stupid enough to trust you again.

The wrong person will give you less than what you’re worth but that doesn’t mean that you have to accept it.

As a woman who experienced infidelity firsthand, I will always advise my girlfriends to only trust their husbands 95 percent and leave 5 percent for human error.

The only thing a boyfriend was good for was a shattered heart.

Cheating is the most disrespectful thing one human being can do to another. If you aren’t happy in a relationship, end it before starting another one.

If you succeed in cheating someone, don’t think that the person is a fool. Realize that the person trusted you much more than you deserved.

Betrayal is one of my biggest fears. Betrayal happens on many different levels all the time, and there is no worse feeling than realizing someone you thought you could trust has gone against you.

People who truly are initially just friends or just friendly colleagues slowly move onto the slippery slope of infidelity. In the “new infidelity”, secret emotional intimacy is the first warning sign of impending betrayal. Yet most people don’t recognize it as such until they’ve become physically intimate.

In your mind, you are cheating somebody, but in reality, you are cheating yourself.

Do you believe a man can truly love a woman and constantly betray her? Never mind physically but betray her in his mind, in the very “poetry of his soul”. Well, it’s not easy but men do it all the time.

If you’ve experienced cheating in a new marriage, the real work is not obsessively combing through all the details of what happened, but rather figuring out if your relationship is worth saving.

Because that’s what unfaithfulness is, isn’t it? A cancer that’s always there in the back of your mind, eating away at the foundations of the relationship.

Cheating someone is a choice not a mistake.

The answer to ‘Why shouldn’t I commit adultery?’ Is that it pays not to, and utility is the final measure of the rationality of moral behavior.

The cheat always lies at the feet of the cheat

Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.

I’m proud of my heart. It’s been played, stabbed, cheated, burned and broken, but somehow it still works. And they said miracles do not happen.

Infidelity is horrible. There’s nothing worse than that; it’s devastating.

Cheaters are always paranoid about being cheated upon.

Trust is something that is difficult to establish. It is very fragile that needs to be taken care of. Once trust breaks or shatters into pieces, it is very difficult to rebuild it.

Infidelity, he now realised, had nothing to do with the lack of love, and everything to do with the lack of respect.

If someone breaks your trust, it just shows that they have been pretenders all along.

If he loves you, he will not screw up what you have by cheating.

Betrayal annihilates trust. The more trust there is to begin with, and the more deception is involved, the more damage is done.

I was born without you. So I can live without you.

Love is whatever you can still betray. Betrayal can only happen if you love.

There’s something wrong with your character if opportunity controls your loyalty.

Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming, but we can choose which ones to surf.

I’m tired of the lies and the cheating, and the broken promises that were never meant to be kept.

Betrayal involves keeping secrets from your partner; often starting from the small ones.

The argument goes something like this; “I refuse to prove that I never cheated on you,” she said, by quoting “proof repudiates true love, and without love I am nothing.”

Trust shattered is like a broken vase; even when joined with the finest glue, the cracks remain.

Soon he was online every night until one or two a.m. Often he would wake up at three of four a.m. and go back online. He would shut down the computer screen when I walked in. In the past, he used to take the laptop to bed with him and we would both be on our laptops, hips touching. He stopped doing that, slipping off to his office instead and closing the door even when A was asleep. He started closing doors behind him. I was steeped in denial, but my body knew.

Don’t cry over someone who won’t cry over you.

Lying is done with words, and also with silence.

If you truthfully love someone, lying and cheating should be the last thing on your mind.

What had seemed like love was betrayal.

Bad marriages don’t cause infidelity; infidelity causes bad marriages.

I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.

For me working on the marriage and not making the easy choice of cheating was something that I could not do.

I always find the worst lies are told in relationships ― I learned to never lie about your happiness in order to save someone’s feelings from being hurt.

I know a lot of people that have been in long-term relationships where cheating has happened, and their marriages and their relationships are actually stronger because it was a mirror that reflected back on a problem that was happening. It’s hard.

Lies are like cockroaches, for everyone you discover there are many more that are hidden.

You can easily tell if a person is lying and cheating on you if they say, I love you. I would never lie to you or cheat on you.

When your lover is a liar, you and he have a lot in common, you’re both lying to you!

Don’t trust a guy who accuses you of infidelity. He’s cheating. He’s projecting. If you’re living that kind of life, you think everybody else is too.

The cruelest lies are often told in silence.

Stray cats are like two-timing men. He got tired of you and took off. He doesn’t find anyone new? He’ll come slinking back. By then, if you’re smart, you’ll have decided you’re better off without him.

There are all kinds of ways for a relationship to be tested, even broken, some, irrevocably; it’s the endings we’re unprepared for.

If you are in a relationship, flirting is cheating.

Are you a winner if you cheat?

Someday you’ll miss her like she missed you. Someday you’ll need her like she needed you. Someday you’ll love her and she won’t love you.

Never cheat on someone who is good to you.

People generally didn’t cheat in good relationships.

Sometimes the person you’d take a bullet for is standing behind the trigger.

A liar deceives himself more than anyone, for he believes he can remain a person of good character when he cannot.

When would he realize that it wasn’t his infidelity I couldn’t bear, but his cowardice?

Pain of being loyal to a cheating

When you betray somebody else, you also betray yourself.

Cheating is pure hypocrisy. Our partner deserves better than that. If we don’t love someone, we should not be with them. That would also be hypocrisy.

If honesty is the best policy; cheating would be the worst one.

Don’t get married unless you’re ready to be faithful.

If you leave and they do not stop you, keep walking. You took the best decision.

Any woman can fool a man if she wants to and if he’s in love with her.

The shattering of a heart when being broken is the loudest quiet ever.

It will always be foolish to ask a cheater if they would ever cheat on you.

True love doesn’t require a backup plan; cheating only exists where commitment is lacking.

Cheating is a selfish act that turns love into ashes and trust into dust.

One of the worst things about trusting someone is really believing that everything they ever told you was the truth.

She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they’re loved and wanted and then show them that it’s all a sham.

You asked why I couldn’t forgive you; it was because you were the love of my life. And you didn’t want to be. That’s hard to let go.

Love grows where trust is laid, and love dies where trust is betrayed.

When a cheater disregards your feelings, they tell you that your presence barely matters to them.

Men cannot survive without cheating; it is in their nature.

She stabbed him with her pretty wicked knife, disrupting his simple life. She’s a player, a heartbreaker, and now she breaks alone.

Cheating is perhaps the most disgusting, disgraceful, and disrespectful act one could commit against their loved one.

Cheaters often keep accusing others of cheating.

Love is a game in which one always cheats.

Never doubt a man’s love. Doubt his integrity.

But human nature dictates that there will always be cheaters. That’s inevitable.

In your life, you will deal with hurt, disappointments, heartaches, headaches, heartbreaks, liars, cheaters, players, fake friends, scandalous females, trust issues, backstabbers, gossipers, and most importantly, deceitfulness. You have to expect a punch and take a Tylenol, have dirt thrown on you and brush it off, be tripped but stand up stronger than ever.

All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy.

Infidelity is an opium of unfaithfulness.

It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing or in disbelieving, it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe.

You knew how badly your actions would hurt me, but somehow you still chose to do it.

We told ourselves we had forever, and we never looked back. The problem was that we never really looked ahead.

Truly committed individuals don’t cheat because they’re focused on finding new ways to love their partner.

Fidelity is a living, breathing entity. On wobbly footing, it can wander, becoming something different entirely.
