Cheating comes in many different forms. However, some forms of cheating are much more harmful than others. For example, peeking at another student's exam or moving a board game piece an extra space in your favor. They are both morally wrong and against the rules.

However, both of these things are other forms of cheating are less harmful than a member of a monogamous relationship giving into temptation and cheating on their significant other. Cheaters are selfish, they are sneaky, and they can be manipulative; usually, a cheater has cheated or will cheat multiple times.

I may be young, and I will admit that I do not truly know what love is but I do know that love isn't selfish. Someone who cheats on another person does not love them by any means. Simply put, if you love someone, you do everything in your power to not cause them any harm.

The cheater might say they did not mean any harm, and though they may claim not have meant to hurt the other person, I'm sure they were well aware of their actions. Yes, temptation is everywhere, but if somebody truly loves somebody else, you do not let that temptation consume you and you do not let it tear people apart.

Contrary to popular belief, monogamous relationships are possible and everyone is very capable of committing to one. It is all about how much two people like and care for each other. If one partner, or even both partners, lose interest and stop caring, the best way to go about it is to end the relationship.

Yet, many people are afraid to end relationships, so instead, they go off and cheat on their partner to fuel their desires and to prevent heartbreak.

The fact that people do not value their significant others as much should baffles me. If somebody finds another person who is interested in them and who they can vibe with they should cherish that. Loyalty should be a primary focus and nowadays, it isn't.

Not everything in life is easy but there are things that are worth some hardship. If you don't love your significant other, and only your significant other with all of your heart then maybe you should evaluate your life and your current relationship.

There are so many ways to love and to express your love to another person. Unfortunately, so many people choose to live a life of selfishness and usually do not even consider the other person's feelings and thoughts.

In the end, even if the person you're cheating on never finds out, it will be something that'll haunt the cheater for the rest of that relationship. They will carry that through their future relationships, especially because they most probably will cheat again.

Maybe if cheaters were to find it within themselves to understand how their partner feels and to really think about what they were doing, cheating wouldn't be as prevalent as it is in our society today.
