Is Anybody Really Faithful Anymore?


With hundreds of ways to cheat right at the finger tips of every person who has access to a computer, it seems almost impossible to find someone who is faithful. Not the new kind of faithful that doesn’t count kissing as cheating, or cyber flirting and/or sex as real. But the kind of faithful that means that every drop of sexual energy is spent on the other person in the relationship.

Temptation has become so common that succumbing to it is almost excusable simply because people have become desensitized to it. Cheating still ruins relationships, but it isn’t the deal breaker that it used to be. Now instead of it demolishing a solid relationship out of existence, it just leaves it in shambles and more vulnerable to more cheating. But to actually break up a relationship because somebody has been unfaithful is starting to be a thing of the past.

This new tolerance for infidelity seems to have increased acceptance of it and is slowly making the concept of faithfulness portrayed as an unrealistic goal or expectation. This causes people to lose motivation to resist the temptations that are there to greet them every single day.

You would think that if everybody is now expecting to be cheated on at some point during their relationship they wouldn’t even bother pretending that they have the expectation of a monogamous relationship. The fact that they do, says that deep down, people still really want that in their relationship. They just don’t think they are really going to get it.

Some people try and rationalize that being unfaithful is not as bad as some people say it is. But they are not comparing a faithful couple’s relationship to that of a couple who do not value the element of trust and dependability that comes with being honest and faithful to each other. They have no concept of how different things really are between the two, and how much different relationships will become if people start abandoning the idea of fidelity.

If we start accepting the idea that there are no sacred relationships and no behavior that should be reserved for one person only, we are forfeiting our value as individuals. Embracing infidelity will not serve anybody in the long run, and hurt a lot of people for generations to come. It will bleed into all other relationships to the point that there will be nobody who can be trusted to have anybody else’s interests at heart but their own.

The rate of infidelity is alarming and very discouraging for those people who value faithfulness and integrity in another person. But for those who do, the good news is all the evidence of the unhappiness and misery that can be traced to being unfaithful. As people start to see more lives destroyed by this selfish act, there will be more people looking for someone who values being faithful as much as they do.

====================================================

Good question:..Is anybody really faithful anymore?.. a few i said yes there are still..who value and cherished a relationship once they started..the integrity and faithfulness of the married couple should always nurture and renew so as to have a stronghold, a cornerstone, a foundation of a good relationship
