One of my friends just wrote another interesting email. It was regarding to relationships and this is an extract of what she had:

">I really don't understand... why cant people think before they act? why
>do they want to hurt others, their loved ones? why cant they be
>faithful? is fidelity extinct? why do people want to break up other
>people's families? are there not enough men or women around? cant they
>exercise self-restraint? if you dont want your loved one to betray you,
>then why do you want to be unfaithful? is it worth being a third party
>in a relationship? why do you want to hurt the child(ren)? is it worth
>sacrificing a lifelong relationship with your spouse and breaking up
>your family for a temporary fling with a lover? who is the one who
>stands by you, gives you unwavering support and makes sacrifices for you
>(e.g. your wife who undergone 10mths of pregnancy and went into labour
>to give birth to your child and risk getting complications if she's an
>'old' mother and getting her body out of shape)? "

If everyone is as rational and righteous as my friend, the world will be a much better place. ;) No cheating boyfriends, no whores from China nor the Philippines and definitely no heartaches and tears.

*P/S: Regarding to "whores from China and the Philippines", that's another topic. I'll do a blog on that in no time.

Unfortunately, this world is no merry-merry land and the sad fact of life is that MOST people do cheat for at least once in their life. Note that I used the word “most”, I do believe that there are a few people out there who actually stay true to their relationship, but there are a dying breed.

As we all grow older, there will be many times that we might find ourselves in situations, which are beyond our control. And it is always easier to point the dirty finger at the cheating spouse. However, I do believe that there are times when there are inherent problems in the relationship, and thus the cheating starts.

There are no doubts that, there are those bastards/sluts out there who just have a problem with fidelity or “keeping their bloody hands to themselves”. Nonetheless, I have also learnt that sometimes, the other party was unable to attain love/comfort/commitment/or-what-ever-else, and thus, they seek comfort from someone else... ...

Some people get into situations that they are unable to control... Some people get into situations they can control but chose NOT to... And some people purposely got themselves into situations to manipulate and control...

So what kind are you?
