So I heard it on the radio this morning. Gerard Piqué is a soccer player from Barcelona and he has 2 boys with singer Shakira.

He’s an Aqua man and he supposedly cheated on her. He even had a girlfriend before he flirted with Shakira.

To be honest, I’m not that surprised. I had an Aqua ex too. He would chat with women a lot and I saw it as a red flag and decided to run. No offense to aquas.

Everything in life comes with an expiration date .as do relationships. I just don’t understand why one has to cheat to part? Is there no such thing as parting on good terms/clean break?

Probably because people want it to have it both ways and not get caught. Even if caught, they are hoping to be forgiven.

Also, many of these male stars turn in their wives for a younger model of a woman. They are selfish.

There used to be a time when i had similar dilemmas. Hundreds of acquaintances latter - and now the answer became quite clear. It's also quite simple - as in - it's all about the differences between people. Personally, while having a thing for loyalty, honor and sportsmanship - i held this qualities in high regard (like laws - that shouldn't be broken), but then... while encountering more and more people "who simply don't care (at all)" - i started to realize that this was a me thing (a personal way of thinking & behaving - which quite a lot people - might find unrelatable). Not only that - while socializing at a party - i started to realize that I was the odd on out there (for thinking this way). That's not to say - they were only into cheating - maybe some were looking for a threesome or in a so called open relationship - but i couldn't relate with that part either. Goes to prove - that you just have to find your niche if you're to have greater chance of long terms compatibility.

Take the latest DXP debate on that friendship fiasco. Apparently, for some people - a romantic relationship is mainly about sex & friendship shouldn't be part of the mix, more like a 2nd relationship (with a person from the opposite sex who's not gay & even gives the impression of being into you). Hard to tell, but i think i encountered even people like that irl - tho, they're among the exceptions from the norm. Same way people who are into open relationships are an exception. Yet, if that part is not made clear from start... failure - due to differences in way of thinking is the only possible outcome. Tho, all things consider - like mental issues paired with low level of emotional intelligence/maturity - it's not that surprising - how/why this people found each other.

All these people have issues. I guess these people also have no foresight that a lie cannot remain hidden. One day it comes out.

Men and women who date people way younger than themselves are having a mid life crisis or they have some Peter Pan complex where they wanna feel and be young forever. I wouldn’t go for red flags like these. A part of me doesn’t feel sorry for Johnny Depp either. Next time he should consider a woman more closer to his age group.

Excellent response! I think you hit it on the nail when you said, “ Yet, if that part is not made clear from start... failure - due to differences in way of thinking is the only possible outcome. Tho, all things consider - like mental issues paired with low level of emotional intelligence/maturity - it's not that surprising - how/why this people found each other.”

To your point, this is why I always have candid conversations with people about who they are. While I make it very clear that I couldn’t care less to judge them about how they are (prefer open relationships/prone to cheating, fetishes, flight risk etc.) because I just want to assess if the person is for me or not and dip, people still lie about who they are. I have come to realize the following:

1. Most people don’t know themselves. Their biggest flaw is that they don’t know who they are to know what they want;

2. Most people don’t have the confidence/courage to do what they truly want to do because they have this desperate need to appear good and proper to the world. They can’t break out of the societal standards on certain things (you should get married, have kids, keep a family life at all cost or else you’re a loser); and

3. Most people aren’t comfortable with their own habits/traits yet they want the better thing. For example, a lazy person wanting a hardworking person yet they will never make the effort to emulate what they desire in the other person or the smoker wanting the non-smoker. Ultimately you could accept yourself as a smoker and not frown on other smokers. These people are still all red flags even if they are in the majority.
