Do cheaters always pay?

Anyone know of anyone/people who have cheated once or more and "gotten away with it".. and by that I mean not just that they weren't found out... but that it didn't come back and kick them in the ass somehow later on?

Who knows. Personally i wouldnt spend much time worrying about whether they do or not. I am not interested in giving them control over my life or how I feel anymore than has happened already.

I think that not always are cheater caught.
But I know it probably bites them in the ass later when someone else (in most cases) does it to them. I call it karma (what goes around comes around).
Alot of people I know who have done wrong say: don't do to others what you don't want done to you, b/c when it happens to you then it hurts 10 times more.

It depends on what you mean by "pay". There's a price for every action we make. If a cheater cheats on his GF, for example, then his relationship will no longer be the same. He likely won't be able to be as honest or intimate with her anymore. Less honesty = less intimacy. So, his current relationship will end up compromised and therefore less satisfying. So in that sense, yes, he's going to pay a price. It may not be the obvious one, but the price is always there.

The ones who haven't got bitten on the ass later, are probably ones who are so good at keeping it a secret that no one knows that they were cheating.

Sure, they pay. They live with themselves never really knowing that someone is with them FOR them honestly.
Petty beans?
Not really. Not to me. Think of a love without honor. A person who gets without honor.

I could not love you so well, Dear,
did I not love Honour more...

That's enough, don't ya think. For me, anyways. Even if they get the windfalls of the externals, their insides are still rubbish.

So, if sex and stolen attentions is what they "get away with" anyways....that's pretty pathetic.

Not worth more follow through than that. They make their choice. We make ours.

It's like screwing yourself out of the Big Lottery for the one grand draw. Suckers.

I think they do pay but maybe not in the way we think they should. Jettison touched on the concept. Someone who is dishonest also believes everyone else is dishonest too. That is how they suffer. The untrustworth don't trust anyone themselves.
Perhaps it doesn't seem "equal" but in a larger sense they are creating a hell on earth for themselves.

Haha! If it seems like they haven't paid for it yet.....PLEASE trust that it is coming sooner or later....it's inevitable! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES RIGHT BACK AROUND! So to answer your question: NO I personally don't know anyone who has not paid for their infidelity. You ALWAYS get back what you dish out! It's no avoiding it. Tis the way of the world my dear!

People who've been cheated on often hope fate will apply justice.
I think it's just wishful thinking.

I was cheated on long ago. I hope she's doing well, with bushels of happy grandkids. Serves her right!

Hey grandkids are a good thing! Well until she has to knit 20 pairs of slippers every x-mas.
