I think people can change but it has to come from within that person to have the desire to do so, and I believe theirs really only certain things people can change within themselves if that makes sense?

Cheating on the other hand, I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily something someone can really change. I’ve always said, once a cheater always a cheater

Its funny because initally i dated the guy when i was 19 for about 6 months. We broke up but remained close. He had a bunch of other demons...he went to rehab and had success in the military.

6 years later we decided to go on a date and we were togther 5 years after that.

He really made himself into something and i saw so many positive chages. He was clean, good job, good self disciplined (or so i thought) he was really "changed".

Him cheating on me again came as a shock. But perhaps the old adage is true...

The 1st time i talked it up to being young, stupid and on drugs.

No excuse the 2nd time
When I was in my late teens to early 20's, I took back a shit bag about 190283129038129038129038 times too many.

Too many. Reason: Tig Ole Bitties.

Yeah I’ve heard of similar stories and I strongly feel indulging in the act of cheating on your significant other is something a person isn’t able to really change like it’s wired in their brains or something
Posted by blvckphvse

None of my exes ever got a second chance until the Libra.. and he's had far too many second chances. Why am I going backwards!? This isn't right!
How many times have you gone back to him? I’m dealing with a libra right now I really want back in my life(not sure it’ll happen) but it’ll be the third time we’d get back if it does.. and honestly I believe and know me and her can make it. Just stupid little petty immature shit she does and I had my own immaturity’s aswell I’m trying to show her I’ve improved. She don’t believe me tho

What was your reason for cheating? I did once aswell because she cheated on me so it was kind of a stab back knowing the relationship was out the door.

I was 21...i felt neglected in my relationship emotionally. I had attention from someone who i always wanted to notice me. I had the opportunity and i took it. No real good reason.

The way i felt after though is a place i never want to be again. Sick to my stomach, paranoid he'd find out. Trying to keep it a secret. Getting messages from the other guy...ignoring them becasue i felt so guilty.

I broke up with my bf and confessed (took 3 months tho).

Now i belive i have more empathy, and since ive been cheated on about 3xs now, the last being the most devestating i A) never want to do that to someone again B) im more communicative with my s.o about my feelings/needs C) i have more integrity.

D) im nearly 30. I want a family and love, i don't have time to fool around...my libido isnt that high anyway and i dont need to add people to my list.

Im content with myself now...when o was 21 i didnt like me. I was lost.

So i think people can change.

I’m happy to hear you’ve gained a better sense of yourself and know what it is that you want. When you say you were lost at 21 how long would you say that lasted for? (Thinking of the girl I’m in a situation with I don’t believe she loves herself, just turned 25 not to long ago)

Im always improving myself. I got into my serious relationship at 24...thats when eveything sort of fell into place. I had an epiphany/better perspective. I'm also honest with myself, and I'm very retrospective. I think that's important.
