Too long to watch some bitch rant about how cheatin is totes valid or whatever garbage. Then again maybe thats not what she says. Maybe she talks about how people are greedy or something. But meh it doesnt matter.

Why do we cheat? There aint no we here honey. Never have never will. Nothin can make me budge on that. So all your little rationalizations be blown out the water like a motherfuckin miracle.

The sole purpose of the thread was pretty much to watch this TED talk, and to have a conversation based on the content. I could care less what people yell out on these forums when one poses a similar question, because it's all biased trollfest and lacks any potential for those participating to mutually share some IQ points.

You may carry on elsewhere though.

Even more the reason for you not to even bother posting, right? Minus the fact that seeing attention is always the thing.

Um... no? The fact that this topic exists is every reason to say somethin. The fact that people are ranting on back and fourth and watchin that stupid video, is a reason to say something.

Cant let the sheep be led astray.

I can't imagine ever cheating. Is there a placement on one's chart that would indicate that someone is prone to cheating?
Ok, strictly speaking, there are indicators for promiscuity and lack of commitment in the chart.

But no one wants to talk about that because then we'd have to be very uncomfortable about how selective we are in our belief in astrology.

Added to that, as was mentioned in the video, the defintion of "cheating" in relationships isn't even a uniform definition. It changes with time and fashion. So we're not playing on an even playing field.

Everyone thinks it's sag placements, specifically Venus and Mars which I personally find funny and very not true.

I'd love to discuss placements on lack of commitment and promiscuity , I vote Taurus Venus:Mars is top of the chart. But that's my biased opinion from personally ezperinces. Lol

Usually it's if your house ruling planets are badly aspected or in the wrong sign.

We can make a thread of references and then take a week off while everyone beefs about it.

I'll avoid blaming any placements to prevent the blame game, though we all love it so much on here

To think you will get legit reasons as to why people cheat thou.... Never seen one of these threads be successful.

People cheat because they are selfish and don't think of anyone but themselves and well fuck the consequences, plain and simple. Anything else said is just excuses.

That's my thoughts on it. Being on the receiving end of it at least twice brought me to that view point.

My mom is a French woman and this is part of the culture. It's acceptable to have a lover despite being married. However the spouses are aware of it.

Lovers are for sex and love.

Marriage is for building an empire.

However my mom didn't have affairs while with my father.

It's just acceptable within that culture.

American culture is obsessed with infidelity and divorce.

Marriage is also made a mockery.
I notice that.

I tried watching some of it, but it's putting blame blame blame, and it's just choice. and most of the time people are just not happy. it doesn't make it right but if theyré not happy, they want to feel loved by someone else who will give them love they are not getting in the partnership. people stay out of obligation then.
The talk was specifically about why happy couples cheat.

uh they aren't happy obviously.

That wasn't the subject of the video. It's specifically looking at happy people.

does she live with them? nope. she sees only the OUTSIDE what the couple shows.

otherwise she is just assuming they look happy, they have everything, so why should they?

she doesn't sleep in the same bed as these couples either.

in the U.S.they all show themselves in Dr. Phil.

She even addresses your line of reasoning in the video directly.

I don't know then. *shrug*

you can't control people that's all I know. let them be, and if they love you and are loyal to you, it's because it was meant to be.
