CMV: You should definitely have a "cheating emergency" plan in place before committing to being in any long-term relationship with a partner.

Everyone intends to be faithful to a partner when they start dating someone. But the reality is that these things happen, and most cheating is impulsive. Regardless of whether you intend to have a plan or not, you will have a plan for if you were to cheat on your partner when you see a cute girl at the bar that you like; you'll figure out a number to call should you need a quick ride home. But while you will have one plan figured out, you should have a cheating emergency plan. <br><br>Why do you need a cheating emergency plan? You need one because you love your partner and do not want to hurt them more than you have to if you were to cheat. Reason number 1 is very simple: you never actually want to cheat on your partner. A lot of times in the heat of the moment you will forget or completely disregard the fact that you actually do not want to hurt your partner. But, if you have a pre-set plan to prevent yourself from acting selfishly in the moment, then you can assure yourself that you actually won't cheat on your mate. <br><br>A very good reason to definitely have a plan for this type of situation is to avoid being put into a position in which you feel your hand is forced into doing something you might regret in the future. Let's say you've just met this one person who you may be into. A lot of cheating happens when you've met someone who feels fresh and exciting to you, but you're still currently committed to your long term partner. Like I said earlier, there is a very good chance that you'd definitely forget about your partner and forget that you actually also don't want to be in a relationship with this new person. If you don't have a plan in hand, you could easily end up in a relationship with someone when you'd rather not be. <br><br>These are just a couple good reasons you should have a cop out or cheat plan ready. You just never know when you might need it. <br>The comments are for you to change my view, not for you to argue with me or try to convince me of your view. Thanks for listening; have a great day.
