Cheating doesn’t mean you have to kiss, meet or have sex with a third party.

Once you find yourself deleting texts, whatsapp messages, BBM messages, e-mails, etc so your partner won't accidentally see them, then yes, you are already there. If you choose to send secret flirtatious inbox messages on facebook or DMs on Twitter to your friends, aka partners in flirting,  then you are already cheating. Ask yourself this question, if those messages were to be published on your facebook wall or anywhere else on the net for that matter, would your relationship with your significant other remain solid? Actually I remember a while back there was a serious panic when it was reported that Facebook had a bug that was publishing inbox messages on the net.

This goes to show you the extent of cheating in the world today. Are there any moral values left in the world?

Stop sexting and flirting with those people! – Yes you know the people I'm referring to. Imagine your partner (Husband/Wife) reading the messages that you receive, would he/she reply with a free heart on your behalf???? If the answer is NO, then that is an unhealthy chat/talk that you are having. Stop it before it is too late. Some mistakes will cost you for a life time yet you could have just avoided them by just ignoring that chick/dude who now loves you because you have been turned into a better ‘asset’ by your current partner. Where were they when you were down? 

Unfortunately cheating is like a cancer;  it develops slowly in an unseen manner, but you will surely feel the pain when it is fully grown. The funny thing is that most of the times, people try to find what they already have because they are just too blind to see and appreciate what they have. Remember the grass may look greener on the other side but do you know how much it cost to maintain that "green"? What if you could just invest time and energy by watering, weeding and adding fertilizer to your own grass? Wouldn’t the world be a better place to be today, with more green all around?

Can you imagine how strong your relationship would be if you would not waste your energy, resources and time on things that have no future. Please be reminded that secret, small, hidden relationships are like ticks they suck all the blood (good things) out of your marriage or relationship and makes it unstable. They take away the trust, the companionship, the harmony and togetherness you once enjoyed, the good and healthy communication that was once your strength, but above all, they induce feelings of betrayal and bitterness.

Question is, is the thrill you get out of cheating really worth risking everything you worked to build in your relationship? In most cases, by the time one realises their mistake, too much damage has been done making it really hard to repair what you have damaged. And sometimes, they don't seem to see anything wrong with their actions until they are found out. Sad to say, sometimes the victims of cheating have such deep wounds that in the end, they never heal. 

If you really value your relationship, then get rid of all the parasitic side-shows that will always be a treat to your relationships’ health. Fight for what is right and never give up on the one you love, unless of course you are just in love with the idea of being in love. Yes l said health because you have to know and take care of your relationship just like your body. Love it as you love your body, maintain it as you maintain your skin, teeth, hair and nails.

True LOVE  means hard-work. Do not apply if you are not prepared to take the risk of committing to just one person, and the hard work that comes with that commitment. Stay out of a relationship if you still want to fool around (not forgetting that has its own price) because a genine relationship calls for a great deal of faithfulness. Most of the young people think that they will start being faithful when they get married – Word of Advise: You can never teach an old dog new tricks. That is why they are so many broken familes because people think they still have time to adjust.

Start practicing being true to yourself when no one is watching you because that’s who you really are. Besides it's by nature that what goes around comes around – Do you think the person that you got out of a secret affair will stop just because you are now with her/him?

Share if you agree and save someone’s marriage / relationship today….bottom line……

ALWAYS BE FAITHFUL TO YOUR PARTNER…
