water cheaters

Question...I find that most of my friends who happen to be water signs can be unfaithful to their partner (even when married)....And it doesn't seem to bother them...any thoughts?

Personally, whenever I am in love (all my relationships have been love relationships) I would never cheat or even put myself in positions where the other person may get jealous. And even though it may be unnecessary, it's without any prompting, which should be appreciated.

I think, that if I'm not being treated in this same way, and was being taken for granted, I would be more likely to cheat IF the opportunity arose, and hence, it would only be treating the partner in the same way as they were treating me. But it would be in the same way, I would be more likely to create an argument, or become moody and sulk. I can't see myself ever cheating on someone I luv, who is treating me right. I don't think a decent person would even contemplate it.

Perhaps you are getting the wrong end of the stick.

Sometimes you have to "cheat" to allow yourself to stop being clingy over someone who is taking advantage or treating you badly, and who in your heart of hearts, you know will not change.

Did any of that make sense? Didn't to me. But it's better that way.

Love those last lines, Cwab! Seriously, Cwab, I am glad to hear that you don't take your emotions or the other persons lightly when you are in love. I agree that a 'decent person would not even contemplate it'. I felt you offered good insight as to why someone might cheat, however.

Valentine,
The people I know who are Water signs are all faithful in their relationships and have been in relationships for a long time. (My stepfather is Pisces and I have a sister who is Scorpio, as well as a variety of friends who are Water signs). I do not think cheating has anything to do with Sun signs...perhaps something in the natal chart...but, not just because of the Sun sign. It does seem that as Cwab pointed out, a person's reason for cheating is quite possibly very complex...

Either that or they are very shallow people. (Just an opinion).

Yes...that whole cheating thing...very complex in most circumstances--but then, there are straight on pricks and cookiemonsteres who cheat only to get their rocks off or to get their jollies. I've known few unfaithful water signs, but speaking from personal experience, we will cheat if we feel we're not loved or appreciated. But, it takes a lot, and even if we cheat for *those* reasons, we still feel an enormous amount of guilt. Cwab put it quite well:
Sometimes you have to "cheat" to allow yourself to stop being clingy over someone who is taking advantage or treating you badly, and who in your heart of hearts, you know will not change.

personally I would never cheat no matter how much I was tempted to. It's demeaning for me, the person I cheat on, and the person I cheat with (or the person he's cheating on). I have more respect for myself than to allow that to happen. However, I'm not above no strings attached flirting if I wasn't happy in my own relationship. End it with one before you begin it with another.

Ahhh....Gwendylyn, I only wish that life were so simple...

Gwendylyn, to assume that because a person has cheated in the past that they have no self respect is erroneous, I'll tell you that right now. People make mistakes. Is it cool to cheat? No. But it happens. You need to realize that everyone has led a different life and everyone's motivations and circumstances are different. What behavior you disagree with or see as being immoral or amoral does not necessarily reflect what others' sets of vaules or morals. And just because someone has cheated in the past does not indicate that they are amoral. Your outlook is the ideal; what would *hopefully* be the situation. But not necessarily the reality.

*does not necessarily reflect what others' sets of values or morals would be, i meant.
