Cheating… why??? At what cost???

March 16, 2005

Just when you think you know people well, you will be surprised as to how little you know them. Take for example a situation where you find out a close family friend is cheating on his wife or she is cheating on her husband…

Do these people not have a thing called a conscience? Especially if he is the father or if she is the mother of your children?

Taking into the consideration the new partner, does this person not realized that he or she is breaking a family? Would this person want to be a part of a broken family? What makes them want to be a part of such a mess?

Now, looking at the children… because, no matter what, the poor child has got to be taken into consideration. At the end of the day, it is not just the two people in the marriage, the child or children get involved as well.

As a child, the centre of his universe is his family. There is nothing more important than feeling safe and secure within that little world called ‘family’. Then when the child learns that this little world, this source of strength and security is falling apart, it is said to be the worst feeling in the world.

With so much pain being spread why on earth do fathers and mothers do this?

What really makes people cheat on their partners and also put their children in the middle of it all? Why are people so selfish?

Once you make a vow to be with your partner for the rest of your life, to love, care, share, till death do you part and all the rest of it, what on earth would make you break all these promises?

Is it man’s animal instinct, which makes him give into the hands of temptation? Or is he just selfish?

Looks like men really are from Mars… just an update

Just a note to say that yes, there are times when friends actually do not pick up the phone and that they do have their reasons for it.

With regard to my previous post on “Looks like men really are from Mars…”, my friend actually did contact me a few days later. His phone had been disconnected…

In my defence, it is not that I suspect people but there are so many ways of contacting someone if you really want to take the trouble to do so… thus, you cannot blame those of us from Venus when we are confused as to why those of you from Mars don’t keep in touch… Or at least try to…
