Infidelity

Infidelity can often be the main reason for a break-up. In today's soceity is it very common to see unfaithfulness within a marriage. It is shown in many television programmes, e.g. in eastenders there was a huge storyline between Stacey Slater and Max Branning. This was an affair which touched on age issues too as Stacey was practically half of his age.
Infidelity is part of all our lives as we are constantly surrounded by such 'bad behaviour'. For example only recently had it come out that Ashley Cole had cheated on his new wife Cheryl Tweedy many times before and during their marriage.

However, what is the consequence of such behaviour during a marriage? For cheryl tweedy it's been a hard journey as she has not been able to forgive him ompletely, but nor has she been able to forget him. This is not the case for all couples; David Beckham had also 'allegedly' cheated on Victoria. But this just made their marriage stronger as Victoria soon forgave him and they are going to renew their vows very soon.

Here is a link to the story which the mirror wrote about the couple http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/2008/01/25/ashley-cole-cheats-on-wife-cheryl-89520-20297690/

Infidelity within married couples is always seen as unacceptable within our society, but infidelity also occurs with non-married couples. During my early teenage years i have been cheated on by a partner, but this did not affect me as much as i was only young. Now that i am 18, i am in a much more 'deeper' relationship, and if i was to found out that my current partner was cheating on me now, i know i would be heartbroken and would be much more affected by it than previously.

I think with age comes experience, and maturity, therefore this is why i find such behaviours as infidelity, unforgivable. It can often be seen on chatshows (e.g. jeremy kyle) that people cheat because they 'got too drunk, made a mistake, wanted to get revenge' howvever, even such 'reasons' are unjustified for hurting someone who has placed their trust in you.
Some people would say that they cheat on a partner because they have fallen out of love with them, however my answer would be to communicate with eachother. I believe that by lying to a loved one, you are mocking them and not taking them seriously. Infidelity is simply an excuse not to talk about real reasons and problems within a marriage. If you can't stay faithful, dont get married!!
