An interest in cheating.

Is having an interest in cheating wrong?

Do you think its wrong to watch documentaries on cheating or read articles on it when they happen to fall in front of you? I'm not talking about actively going out and seeking information, I mean just having a general interest in it. If you found out your partner had an interest like this would you be worried about them using that information to cheat?

Just a few questions that I'm merely interested in having answered by other people.
it may be that one is very tempted to copy or cheat, but then one is forgetting that even after having cheated you are not doing justice to yourself and to your own creativity !!!.

If my partner were finding out information I wouldn't be worried they were going to cheat, but rather they would be thinking I was cheating. But I guess it depends on the ammount of trust in your relationship.

I personally dont see a problem with it, as long as you arent actively seeking information. In fact its a bit hard not to read something about cheating, as there are always cheating stories of some description in every magazine/newspaper. Plus i think its normal to take an interest in other people's relationships, even if it is to see where they went wrong.

Thanks... Its just my girlfriend... I don't know what she thinks, but it seems like she thinks I will cheat cause I read something online once about it when there was a link in front of me, and I happened to notice a doco was on tv earlier before she left for work so I watched a bit of that. It just bothers her that I apparently have a "fascination" in it. I don't think of it like this at all, its just an interest, but I don't know what to tell her. I feel like I've totally failed her cause she won't believe anything I say anymore when I say I will do something like not take a huge interest in this.

Sorry for the rant I just feel really bad and wanted to see what other people thought.

If you intend to have a full and faithful relationship with your current partner, then cheating or even thinking about cheating should never be on the agenda.

=/ Its just something that made me curious.

Fine I'll just ****ing give up then. Damnit I don't know why I bother being with her when she doesn't want to trust me and I think about this anyway.

I'm a girl right, and I love guys, all of 'em. And ****ing jealous girls do my nut in! I hate to see it when blokes love their girlfriends and would give the world to them only for the relationship to be ruined by their ****ed up paraniod minds. If I were you I'd smack her about a bit!

Having an ineterest in cheating is fine. Does having an interest in the criminal mind make you a criminal? Just because you are interested in a topic, if you don't do it, then it's not really immoral.

no matter how much you cheat, you are bound to be caught one day.
