The human race is nowhere near perfect rather it is quite full of imperfections. People make mistakes where they hopefully learn a valuable lesson and never repeat the action again. When it comes to being unfaithful, however, some people never grasp the idea that it can be incredibly damaging to one person and instead, it actually feeds onto their ego. When going into a relationship, most of the time there is a set fear in at least one person of the possibility of the other cheating. This is something almost inevitable, because even though some couples are committed and have established respect for one another, one situation can open the door for one person or the other to be unfaithful.

As if it was never said and never existed. The reason being, that the person who cheated never actually meant anything he/she said to their significant other.

In “Why We Cheat”, Lisa Taddeo explains in a way, what is appealing about cheating by saying, “there’s a sexuality to the selfishness. To doing precisely what you want to do” (Taddeo 4). Here, Taddeo is saying that there is a rush from being a part of the act of cheating on someone. Even though people say there is no gain from cheating, there obviously is, but it goes towards the person who’s doing something morally wrong. They feel in control as if they can’t get hurt because they are ok with what is happening. While on the other hand, if it was the other way around, maybe the feeling wouldn’t be so much of a gain but of an extreme loss for the person they cared
