Infidelity is: having an affair, being unfaithful or seeing someone else behind your partners back.
In today’s lecture we discussed what count as infidelity. Some of the questions asked were: is sleeping around with more than one person count as infidelity? In my opinion i think that if you are sleeping around with more than one person and your partner does not know then yes it is infidelity because you are doing it behind their back. The other question that was asked in today’s lecture was: Is flirting with other people infidelity? In my opinion i do not think that flirting with other people is infidelity. Am not saying that it is right but if they are only flirting then it’s not. On the other hand it depends on the type of person that you are some people have different believes and they expect their partners to act a particular way. Another question that was asked was: Is having virtual (online) relationship with another person infidelity? In my opinion i think that in a way it is but then in another way it’s not. The person might be having an online relationship because it’s fun and exciting taking to a stranger. I have had friends who talk to boys or girls on the internet and they say that it fun because they can say what they want. They do not have to feel embarrassed because they person does not know them. Also they can lie about who they are, what they do and how they look like because it’s all part of the thrill. So if someone was having an online relationship but they know that it was only for fun and they would never take it to another level then i don’t think it is infidelity. On the other hand the person might be looking for someone to have fun with n person and not just on the internet so it they meet up and have sex or sexual contact then yes it is infidelity.

In two day’s lecture we were asked if any of us have ever cheated. I was surprised to see that only two people had put up their hands. I thought that more people would have said that they have cheated. Maybe they did not want to admit to i because they were embarrassed and didn’t want people to think bad of them.
We also asked: why do we think people cheat? There are many reasons why people cheat for example, your love life might me boring and you want some excitement, your partner cheated on you first so you want to get your own back on them because you think it going to make you feel better or you just want the other person to hurt just as much as you do or the thrill of cheating turns you on.
We were asked: is infidelity is a form of lying? In my opinion i think that infidelity is a form of lying for example if you are asked if you are cheating and you say no them yes it is. On the other hand if you are not asked by your partner then no because you do not have to give them an answer. But then you are still lying TO YOUR SELF!
In today’s lecture we were asked: is there a gender bias when it comes to cheating? In my opinion i think that there is a gender bias when it comes to men and women cheating for example if women cheat they are seen as dirty and are called all sorts of names but on the other hand i think they men have it much easier than women when they cheat people just call them bad or heartbreakers.
We were asked; what affect can infidelity have on children? In my opinion i think that it depends what type of family you have. For example if you have a tight bond with your parents. If your parent do not get on and they are always fighting. If the child for example is old enough to understand what is going and why their parents are splitting up and they can see it’s for the best the child might not be that affected by the break up and their parents splitting up is the best thing for everyone. On the other hand the child might blame the parent who has cheated because they have ruined everything. Either way the child is going to be affected.
In my opinion i do not see why people cheat if you know that you do not want to be with someone then why you don’t just tell them. So they can move on with their life instead of hurting them. i also think that people that cheat on you once and you take them back they are only going to do it again because they have done it before and you have forgiven them so what is stopping them from doing it again. For example take Ashley Cole and Cheryl Cole he has cheated on her more than once and she took him back every time. In my opinion i think that they more she took him back the more power he got to cheat more and more and more http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2855371/Ashley-Cole-cheated-on-wife-Cheryl-with-sex-text-girl.html.
Coming to a conclusion i think that if you don’t want to be with someone just tell them.
