text: While I do not have a spouse, I have been around very close friends when cheating was taking place or when it was discussed in a very frank manner.\n\nAfter seeing some of the after effects of cheating on marriages and relationships, I can't imagine ever even considering it, no matter what.\n\nEven if you were never caught, you would be living with that lie, that event that you took a part in, for the rest of your life.\n\nKnowing that you could keep such a secret, would you also not believe your spouse capable of doing the same?\n\nI am a firm believer in 100 percent honesty, in the little things in life and in the big things.  Whether it's with a stranger at a store (ok, granted, I'm not typically in a position where I would need to worry about honesty with a stranger in a store) to my loving family and friends.\n\nI hope that this helps.\n\nBuddhadan
