[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a college beau who's father was a cheater and he himself lapsed into cheating behavior.  
As this was my first boyfriend, it was hard but thank goodness I wasn't terribly invested yet. Dropped him like a hot potato.

Now, my sister's first boyfriend was a cheater and for some horrid reason she stayed with him for years despite knowing the truth.
Her next boyfriend routinely cheated on her too.
Her current husband seems to have some issues on that front as well.
In hindsight, her first boyfriend conditioned her to expect this behavior.

The difference between my sibling and I is that I wasn't going to put up with that kind of relationship.

50% of people that are currently being cheated on do not even know it.  Many, many women that don't think their husbands would ever do that would be surprised.  Many marry 'non-cheaters' and then midlife stuff happens.

I would be very careful to pat yourself on the back and be critical of others.  Life has a way of sometimes making you eat crow.  I have seen it with women in my neighborhood that were really self-righteous about what they would or wouldn't put up with and how their spouses just weren't the cheating type...blah, blah, blah.  Some of the men I found out about--- I never would have expected.  They aren't always the 'type' you would expect to do it, e.g, seem like family men, not overly flirtatious.

Maybe try supporting your sister instead of being superior.[/quote]

Yeah. This reminds me of the post in off-topic where the divorced woman is upset because all of her friends talked behind her back and dropped her as a friend when she was going through a divorce...and now one of them is facing divorced and all the sudden is reaching out with no apology about her dropping her at her time of need.  You reap what you sow often.[/quote]
