Cheating is one of the most hurtful and disrespectful things a person can do in their relationship.\u00a0Understandably, the decision to stay faithful to your partner, or to your marriage vows will take a lot of energy, strong will and restraint, but hey, you chose this, didn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
1. Cut the connection<\/p>\n
If you never get in a situation to cheat on your partner, you\u2019ll most likely not. Hence, it\u2019ll do you a world of good to limit or totally cut off ties with everyone who might be too tempting to ignore. Stay away from old flames and people with whom you\u2019ve had sexual relationships in the past.<\/p>\n
2. Consider the damage<\/p>\n
What if you gave in? Have you ever thought about what could happen if your spouse or partner found out? Are you willing to risk your relationship for momentary pleasure? Even if you get forgiven, it would be hard to restore your partner\u2019s trust.<\/p>\n
3. Grass is not always greener<\/p>\n
People may cheat because they think that the third party can offer them something that their partner can\u2019t, be it excitement or physical fulfilment. The problem is that they then discover that they don\u2019t feel better. Yes, the grass is not greener on the other side, and it can be a terrible mistake to look to someone else for what you feel is missing.<\/p>\n
4. Forget about protection<\/p>\n
However, people sometimes use other means that are considered safe, wearing protection and using contraceptives. Although this may seem like a good idea at the time, you should never engage in this type of behaviour if you plan on cheating on your partner, you’re never safe.<\/p>\n
5. Be honest with your partner.<\/p>\n
If you are tempted to cheat right now, it is best if you open up with your partner. Admit it, the more you repress something, the more it presses on you. Once you open up, you would realize that it was only a passing urge because the thrill is gone.<\/p>\n
Yes, s\/he might become upset once you open up. However, it could be worse if you tell him\/her after you fail. Besides, s\/he deserves to know the truth.<\/p>\n
6. Humble yourself before God.<\/p>\n
It is hard to overcome temptations because we are only humans. If you are desperate to resist them, then ask for help from God. Please acknowledge that you cannot do it by your own strength. Make it part of your daily prayers to have the courage and strength to flee from temptations.<\/p>\n
7. Think about the Oath you took in the presence of God on your wedding day,either in church\/Mosque or Court to stay faithful.<\/p>\n
8. Think about your kids,who will grow up with the sad knowledge that their parents divorced because their dad or mum cheated.<\/p>\n
No matter how strong the temptation is, rest assured that it is possible not to fail. All you need to do is actively resist it.<\/p>\n
