Am I immature? I want an honest answer..?
Find answers to your legal question.





Am I immature? I want an honest answer..?

My mother told me that all men cheat, that it's a part of life...If someone cheats that doesnt mean that that person doesnt love you, doesnt want to be with you or disrespects you, it's just who they are. I told her that if someone cheats on me then that person doesnt have me in mind, it wasnt TRUE love and that person didnt respect me enough to think of my feeling, obviously he didnt think of the relationship. I'm 23 and am sinlg, never been married....with all this, do you think that i'm immature? please be honest, should i change my view on men?
Additional Details
I have to add...my father cheated right and left, and i'm not exxagerating every male in my family have cheated or still have a mistress...I asked this because since you guys dont know me, i can get an objective opinion...maybe i'm the one who's on the wrong, not only am i not married i'm also only 23 you know...

Your mother is bitter and jaded. All men do not cheat. Some do, but if you set standards for yourself and don't put up with it you will find someone that won't.

No, you're not immature and not all men cheat. Your mom is way off base. If a man cheats it shows that he doesn't love you or respect you and you should not put up with it in your life.

Honestly, you strike me as very wise.

I agree with you. I think it's immoral. And coincidenatlly I've just finished having this same conversation with the people at work.

Take a good look at your mother's life, then answer your own question.

Wow, your mom has some issues, doesn't she?

Not everyone cheats. It is absolutely possible for men to be faithful to one woman. My husband is. My friends' husbands are.

Don't change your views. Hold out for a man who loves and respects you and will be faithful. And tell your mother to get some therapy.

No, do not change your view on men. Your mom is setting you up for a lot of heartbreak by telling you this. What is her problem? Word of advice: if a guy cheats one time, he may or may not do it again, but if a guy cheats a second time, he will continue to do it.


eesseeee
no youre not immature. and its not "part of life" not all men cheat thats ridiculous.

not all men cheat

not all men cheat!!! your mother is wrong to say this to you, maybe she was cheated on and has this idea that guys cheat for all men. If a guy really loves you he will not cheat. you are still young, dont worry about getting marrried yet and im sure when the right man comes along you will know.

You're 100% correct, although to me this is common sense. I have no idea how mature you are or aren't. I hate to advise kids not to listen to their parents, but in this case you need to ignore your mother!

No, I don't think so at all.
That explanation is quite pessimistic, cheating isn't a characteristic that can be coped with, its something that plainly SHOULD NOT be done.
I like that your standards are high, and that you won't take any of that crap.
Good luck!

Sounds like your mother is a little bitter.

Not everyone cheats - nor should anybody tolerate anyone that does. Love aside - you're going into a partnership that requires total and complete trust - you are trusting your partner with your life - literally.

Find the right guy who will honor and cherish you.

no i do not think you are immature... i mean granted cheating happens alot in this day and age. but there is a small percetage of people that don't cheat. if you are really in love with someone and you are happywith them then there shouldn't be a problem.

I agree with you. I believe that part of being devoted to someone is being able to turn down temptations. no one said it would be easy all the time. I believe people can be tempted and that is ok as long as they love you enough to say no.

OMG no that doesnt make you immature. It makes you a real woman for not lowering your standards and standing firm on how you feel. Im with you, if a man cheats, he didnt have ME in mind, and he disrespected me. Its over. Not all men cheat...and if they do, yea thats who they are but those men shouldnt get married. Please dont change your views!

Not all men cheat. That is just not true. If he does love you then he will not cheat.

Isn't that common sense?


kriddle
no way- yu are absoultely right- your mother is wrong.... maybe she is trying to build you up incase you do ever get cheated on but u have the right thought.... you are very smart and think about yourlsef before thinking " O men are just that way" If he cheats he isnt thinking of you and you dont ever need that- id rather be alone then with someone who cheats!!

Dont tell mom shes wrong .. let her think whatever


XENON BLACK
Well first off, not all men cheat... You need to experience life and use your best judgment. I agree here are more creeps out there than prizes. Good Luck

No u r not imature. U r just thinking of true love. I myself wouldnt be with a guy that cheated on me. I think there is still hope for true love in this world, and i support girls like u <3

Obviously your mom has had bad luck with men. I dont think that all men cheat, and I agree with out that if someone loves you enough then they won't go to someone else. My common Law husband/boyfriend of 3 years has always told me that if he ever planned on pursuing another person, then he would just break things off with me because obviously our relationship wasn't important to him. though that's blunt, it's nice to know.

you just have to find that right person. it's not always as easy as it sounds. but you are not immature in thinking that not exactly ALL men are dogs, but there are a lot out there!!! Stick with your own opinion, not everyone is the same, and you're outlook on life makes you exactly who you are. Stay strong!


Sean C
You have a more optimistic and realistic look at men than your mother does. If anyone is more mature (on this particualr subject) It's you.

However, at the same time you have no frame of reference. Perhaps your mother was cheated on numerous times giving her the idea that all men do this (still not a the mature way to look at the situation, but it's understandable.)

Don't change your view. You will never be happy with anyone if you go into any relationship without trusting this guy 100% because of a misconception.


latj
Your Mother is from the old school where it was just accepted that men cheated and got away with that. Women tended to have less education and most of them who went to college actually went to college to "meet" a husband.
Things are different today. Women get educations to do something for themselves. Men don't run women and women actually think for themselves and use their minds. Women actually have independence and don't have to depend on a man to take care of them. Cheating is no longer accepted as a norm and women no longer have to put up with it.
Do not change your views on men, but don't put your Mother down because she grew up in a different era. Just accept her opinion and know that times have changed (thank goodness)!!!!!


mooncat
No you're not. I'm glad you have your head right on your shoulders. Good going! You have the correct idea.


jtrhyms
No . Infidelity may be wide spread in many places. Often resulting is disease domestic violence abandoned children frustration and depression. Stick to your guns, you couldn't be happy with less. Being a faithful partner is a heavenly thing, ask God to send one your way, and guard your heart.
