Why do people lie and cheat in relationships? Not everyone does it, but there are people out there who lie and cheat on a regular basis and think nothing of it. What leads someone to behave in such a way - insecurity about who they are? An attempt to prove to themselves that they can achieve "getting" someone? It makes no sense. If you're truly that happy being with someone, do you really need to be out there looking for more? Or maybe they don't think they're doing anything wrong? I've heard so many justifications of such behavior it's ridiculous. I suppose it comes down to a personal belief system of what is right and wrong. And it being personal, isn't for anyone to comment on (myself included). But, when an individual lies to and cheats on one they are in a relationship, is it not only fair to question why such behaviour exists in the first place?
This post isn't too pass judgement on those who do indulge in such behavior - to each their own. Rather, it's a commentary on what our society has deteriorated to. When you've got young men taking their cues from television shows and movies which tell them it's not only acceptable but "cool" to treat relationships as a joke, then such behavior is to be expected. But then again, how much blame can we place on the media? When did individual responsibility and acting like an adult go flying out the window? I have absolutely no idea.
