When you were in school – or if you are now in school – did you ever cheat on an exam? Did you peek at your friend’s paper and copy his or her answers? Do you go online to seek out reports and papers that you can easily copy and turn in as your own?

How about on the job or getting a job? Is ‘enhancing’ your resume worth it if it gets you a leg up on the job you want or the promotion you seek?

In a recent research study, scientists found that people in lower income categories – at least as far as students are concerned – cheat more. The Canadian researchers say that income inequality decreases the general trust people have toward each other.

The researchers determined that if students don’t trust each other, some of them might think they have to cheat to keep up with their unscrupulous classmates. And other research has shown that this kind of distrust is more likely to be found in places with where incomes are not equal.

Google Data Used

To conduct their research and to examine the connection between trust, income inequality, and academic dishonesty, the researchers looked at data from Google that broke down search terms by state (in the U.S.) and found data on searches on phrases like “free term paper,” “buy term paper,” and the names of cheating websites. He compared these to survey data on how trusting people are in each state and a measure of income inequality from the U.S. Census Bureau. They controlled for several other factors that could influence the number of searches, including how many students are in each state, how large the colleges in each state are, and average household income.

Their data showed that people who live in states with more income inequality were less trusting in general, and those states had more evidence of academic dishonesty. The next step, say the researchers, will be to duplicate their finding using laboratory experiments, using pay structure to alter income inequality, then observing the effects on students’ trust and dishonest behavior.

If one of the root causes of cheating is distrust, this could explain why measures like honor codes work, they say. When students trust that other people aren’t cheating, they are less likely to cheat themselves.

For men who cheat, the phrase “boys will be boys” is applied, and for those who manage to not cheat, well they’re congratulated like a puppy who is finally house-trained. Do men not find this practice at all condescending? And also, if you are one of those men who revel in being given permission by society to be as base a human being as possible, how do you know that what you’re doing is just human nature, or societal conditioning instead?

There are no theories that all women cannot give in to any naked man standing in front of them. Does this mean that in reality more is expected from women, morally and intellectually? Why don’t men demand the same level of respect? For centuries they supposedly were above females, and the promiscuity of men was a power tool, rather than what it is now, just sad. It’s ironic that it has come full circle on them, a practice that served them in the past merely makes men little boys with big toys these days. Boys to be looked down upon by the more evolved females. Why men stand for this degradation, I don’t know.

Are men REALLY so primitive that they cannot think for themselves? That they are always controlled by their sex drive? I would think that many intelligent men find this societal theory as patronising as discrimination was towards women.

Thatcher had just finishing downloading Terraria and jumped into gameplay when he heard on the TV that Justin Bieber would be attending Cornell University in the fall. Is this some kind of subliminal message like Disney’s hidden messages of a phallic symbol in ‘The Little Mermaid’ or the controversial ‘teenagers, take off your clothes’ muttered by Aladdin? After all Justin Bieber was Canadian and he was Canadian too! “Nah, I have the worst job in Canada, I burn secret messages for the Canadian forces and what the heck is Justin Beiber going to Cornell for anyway? Does he Want a better job or something” he thought. “Perhaps he’s going to pick up women or something.”

Women, that’s the last thing Thatcher wanted to think about. That’s why he’s playing Terraria in the first place. His woman thought he was cheating on her because of when he was surfing the internet trying to figure out the proper steps for building a blog he came across someone’s blog that went into detail about the benefits of mixing watermelon and honey to help clear up strong smelling urine and could also repel mosquitoes. Who has strong smelling urine anyway? Does strong smelling urine mean you are cheating? This blog was promoting this watermelon and honey mixture as one of the greatest potluck ideas of the year. It had several different honey and watermelon recipes, one of which included chia seeds and bragged that it was in Zeds Alchemy recipe cheat sheet guide, 100UP = honey + watermelon. Anyway, she said that his weird computer habits was one of the tell-tale signs your man is cheating and decided to dump him.

Oddly, he was cheating though and it did show in his weird computer habits. He was downloading ‘Vocabulary Workshop Level F’ answers so he could cheat on the test and pass. It wasn’t like when she went to Pirates of the Caribbean 5 with that jerk Creighton who is a cretin or when she went to Iron Sky Stream with Ascot who could benefit from the latent self-clocking effects of an inverse fiboncci sequence imprinted on his face to bring out his features. 

She was cheating on him and breaks up with him blaming him for cheating on her. What a scam, his entire relationship felt like a scam. At one point, he thought that she was getting paid to chat with him from paysnork until he realized that paysnork was a scam. Still, he had a difficult time accepting how she broke up with him. She texted him what seemed to be the answers for a 7 little words level – I’m breaking up with you for cheating. 

Well, that’s what can happen to you for surfing weird websites like dolphin rape, how to whiten your underarms or fat people jokes. Your cheating girlfriend breaks up with you for cheating, your lymphocytes get low making you sick and the benefits of green tea result in reducing the absorption of iron from the blood and you die. Speaking of dying, In hardcore mode in Terraria, Thatcher just got the death penalty and now he’s a ghost!

It may only be once, or it maybe multiple times. Perhaps you feel guilty but you continue to do it. I have been cheated on and my partner said he was very sorry and he would never do it again. He continued to cheat, something which I could never understand.

So I decided to ask the general public and even though I had been hoping for more personal experiences.

“ being an asshole, thats how people cheat.”

“ Lack of sex, lack of attention from partner, opportunity, high libido, for the excitement, thrill of the chase, variety, immaturity, selfishness, sociopathy.”

“ Loneliness, lack of attention from for the women. Not feeling special any more, and other people make you feel brand new and attractive. They are interested in what you have to say whereas your spouse has heard it all before. Lack of sex is also a big one.

But it will always end in tears and regret. Ale so shame at the lack of moral behavior.”

“ When your not satisfied with what you have got. Most of the time over sex. Or are you ever satisfied.”

There are times that women will choose to overlook the fact of the matter even when the reality manifests blatantly. These women are maybe afraid to face the truth but determining the signs your man is cheating is something that women should learn. This does not mean that you will hound every activities of your husband or boyfriend but it pays to be vigilant, before it is too late. You do not want to wake up one morning wondering why he suddenly left you for another when all you could think about was that you were actually okay, or so you thought. So when you observe some particular activity or behavior or changes in your man, it might be the best time to assess the situation. If you are vigilant and observant enough, you will be able to read several signs your man is cheating on you. It is not only what he does but what he is not doing anymore that you should also look into. Read on to know more.

1.    Communication bog-down. If he used to call and text you several times a day but lately, does not even reply to most of your messages and calls, his attention might be engaged anywhere else. Of course, he may be busy with work but if you can verify that he is not busy at work or with some other engagements, then he is probably involve with someone else. Meeting someone new is always exciting and if he is just starting an illegal liaison with someone else, he would be naturally  too excited for anything else.

2.    Mr. Sweet suddenly. If he is extra-nice and sweet to you recently, when he was not like that before is something to look into too. Men who cheats and who does not want to be found out, acts extra nice to his wife or girlfriend so that they would not be suspected. They also do this because they feel guilty cheating their partner but don’t want to stop the cheating either.

3.    Mr. Critic. If he always find fault with you, always noting your bad points without any instigation from you, is also one of the signs that your man is cheating. If he has not acted like that before and then suddenly finds yourself at the butt of his “criticism” frequently, he is maybe comparing you with his new interest. This may not always be one of the signs your man is cheating but you could explore on this to know the truth.

4.    Telltale signs. If you find telltale signs in his wallet, clothing that he cannot explain such as ticket to a cinema when he is not fond of going to cinemas, lipstick mark on his shirt, unfamiliar perfume on his clothes and the likes.

5.    Suspicious cell phone usage. If he is becoming secretive about his text messages and calls, grabbing his cell phone the moment it rings and running to another room to answer it or guarding his cell phone and bringing it anywhere he goes, can also be one of the signs that your man is cheating. Late night calls which he attributes to some emergencies or officemates can be another indication.

6.    Unaccounted for. When you call him at the place where he says he is suppose to be, he is nowhere near there and he always has lame excuses that he was at the comfort room when you called or he was just walking through the foyer when you called. Of course, you should not take this as one of the surefire signs your man is cheating on you.

7.    Suspicious computer activity. He suddenly blacks out his laptop or minimizes the window of his laptop when you go near him. He spends longer hours on his computer than before and closes the door to his study when he is doing so.

8.    Unavailability. He used to spend time with you but now it is becoming less and very infrequent. He might tell you he is busy at work or some other important function, even during the weekends, holidays and yes, at night. Chances are, he uses this time spending with someone other than you. This is perhaps one of the sure signs your man is cheating on you. When he says that he is spending time with a male friend, and this has become more frequent, either he has turn gay or the male friend has magically turned into the sex siren of his dreams.

9.    Infrequent or absence of sex life. He has become a stranger in your bed, only engaging in sex with you as if it is his duty and only by appointment. When you get the urge and start showing him signs, he has so many excuses that often leave you feeling unwanted and cold. He does not hold your hand anymore, hug, cuddle or his kisses are as perfunctory as his greetings where it used to be so hot, it almost always drives you mad with desire for each other.

10. Changes in grooming preference. Men are generally stickler for things that they are used to. If your man had been using specific cologne, deodorant or a certain fashion style ever since you met him and then he suddenly prefers something he used to dislike and abhor, then it is telling you something. Of course, he may be on a self-discovery journey and changing his lifestyle and grooming habits might be part of that. However, if you can prove that he is not into a self-development quest or some other similar endeavor, this is perhaps one of the signs your man is cheating.

Is it as simple as some people just can’t commit to one person? Or is it more complicated than that? The most common reasons I hear for cheating is the other fell out of love with their partner or they weren’t getting enough action. 

But if that was the case wouldn’t they just leave their relationship or talking about it? Why jump straight to cheating? Some people are serial cheaters and just can’t help themselves, while for others in will happen once as a spur of the moment thing and they feel so guilty that they never let it happen again.

Some people are addicted to the high that cheating gives them, they take pleasure in the risk knowing that they could be caught. 

Many people cheat however because they are genuine unhappy in their marriage or relationship. Yet rather than leave the relationship they chose to stay. Perhaps they are afraid to leave because they have children involved or feel trapped by the relationship.

It seems everywhere we look today it appears almost everyone is having an affair, and many would argue that technology has made it easier for people to cheat.

Even college bloodshed accident in men who accept a affection advance while actuality intimate, affectionate with a accomplice is not official.

Expressed by Levine, according to dissection letters of 6,000 cases of abrupt death, begin 0.6 percent of the deaths occurred while accepting sex. Of these, 93 percent were accepting sex with mistresses.

Even so, patients with affection ache do not accept to anguish about sex. A anniversary afterwards a balmy affection advance in actuality it was safe to accept sex. The adumbration can be apparent if the accommodating is able to ascend several flights of stairs after chest pain.

For the longest time I didn’t even know he had a girlfriend. He lied to me and said he wasn’t dating anyone and I would hear people talking about him dating someone, when I asked him about it he denied all of it. Him being my best friend, the person I could go to for anything, the person I cared about so much and whom I thought cared about me, I trusted him over others. We ended up being friends with benefits pretty much… well it was more I gave him what I wanted, but I never let him touch me. Oral sex, he loved it so much, always asking for it and even during band class he would take me to a room and try to get me to go along, I never did during school. When he invited me to hang out or when he invited me to his house I pretty much knew what to expect after awhile. I got suspicious figuring all he wanted me for was for sexual purposes, but then I remembered back to how he always helped me and cared about me and the suspicions went away.

Eventually I found out he had a girlfriend, I was crushed, he had been going out with her for months and I was too stupid to see it. I was hurt, I felt pathetic, stupid, even used. We stopped for awhile, we weren’t even as close as friends anymore because he had lied to me. Thank god it was Christmas break and I was going on a trip, like my family does pretty much every year, so I didn’t have to deal with him. When I got back though he was still there and immediately the lies started again. He sucked me back in and I couldn’t reject him. I still cared and loved him so much and he knew that, so even though I knew he had a girlfriend I did it one more time for him.

I felt so guilty, it was incredible how terrible I felt. He didn’t care though, he acted as though I was the only person he cared about, like his girlfriend and him had broken up. I eventually promised myself that I would never do it again while he was still dating her. Of course he still talked “dirty” to me and still wanted sexual things from me but I stayed as strong as I could and avoided it. A lot of the time though he talked about how much he cared about me and how he was going to break up with his girlfriend for me. I believed him, when I never should have. He took me caring about him and loving him to his advantage. He used it to get what he wanted. He kept me believing that him and I would eventually be together.

Things eventually started spinning out of control. Over spring break I found out that he had Ben added on Facebook, I felt betrayed and again lied to. I stopped trusting him and I could barely even look at him anymore. I told him I didn’t want him to talk to me anymore and that only lasted so long.

One night, it was cold outside but we met up anyways. We were at the park and it was pitch black outside. We were hanging out together like the best friends we used to be. He of course ruined it when he wanted something sexual from me. We were the only ones in the park and I was sitting down a platform while he stood in front of me. I told him I didn’t want to and to put it away but he didn’t listen and eventually he got it in my mouth. After that I thought we were done and then he brought me behind a wall. He wasn’t done. He needed more. He slid his hand down my pants and that’s when I started to panic. I told him no, straight up and to stop and to get his hand out but he didn’t. He slid his fingers inside me and didn’t listen when I begged him to stop. He enjoyed it so much, but he didn’t listen to what I wanted… His mom later called him and he had to go home, I called my dad and waited for him to come pick me up. I sat on the swings, sad, crying, and trying to shake it off before my dad arrived. When he got there he didn’t notice a thing.

I look at texts we sent especially when I found out he had Ben as a friend.

Me: “You have Ben added on facebook…?”

Drew: “Yeah y?”

Me: “Nothing, night.”

|===================================================================================|

Me: “Did you ever think for one minute that when I said no in the park I meant it?”

“you and Ben are the same….don’t stop when told no…”

Drew: “Wow! I would never rape you!” (that’s right, Ben was not only my ex boyfriend…but my rapist. Drew was friends with him before that happened but when he found out he said that he wasn’t friends with Ben anymore [lies] and he had helped me through and taken care of me…)

Me: “I told you to stop and you didn’t listen…”

Drew: “But I have limits too!”

Me: “Great so its just about what you want…”

Drew: “Wow”

I was a bit confused as to why he was so shocked that I was mad that all he cared about was what he wanted, it was my body and he didn’t listen to what I wanted. He violated me, just like Ben had and today, months later he still tries to tell me he never tried to hurt me and that he really did care about me.

Also for him and his girlfriend, they haven’t broken up they are over 10 months dating. He told her that he cheated on her and that he really likes the girl that he cheated on her with… her response, just don’t do anything with her anymore. WOW. Okay, he doesn’t even want to be with her…really why he told her about what had happened, he’s just too much of a wuss to break up with her, he wants her to break up with him.

He texts me telling me he really did care about me and he really was going to break up with her for me. He says that he never actually used me because he really had cared about me. He lied to me so much though, he not only hurt me physically but emotionally too, he did use me, whether he wants to admit it or not…at least he doesn’t care about me anymore, I just wish he would stop fighting so hard to try to be my friend… I told him I forgave him for what he did (I’m not sure if I really can but I will act like I do) but I told him that I’m not willing to be his friend again. I don’t care if he doesn’t want to date me anymore I don’t care if all he wants to be is friends. I’m not setting myself up to get hurt again…I’m sorry.

I have to say I have felt that way , I have been angry, hateful, disrespectful, threatened violence and in the end the one question there is no good answer to is “why”. The answer is never something you want to hear there is a transfer of guilt onto you, there is a feeling that it is something you did. In the end it is simple, we worked really hard at our relationship, we spend allot of time together, I have a very demanding job and I have never felt that I was not good enough for my husband. Then out of the blue it was in my face an affair with a c0-worker of mine who I considered a friend and felt sorry for and tried in every way possible to help. I spent many conversations with my husband saying she was a good person and was just struggling with a no good husband and three kids and yes she was the one who made herself available to my husband who was what appeared to her to be a dream, and full time job a devoted husband and I was busy working 60 hours a week. The glory of a new relationship began, it went on for two weeks til my husband was so lost in what he did he left, I was not aware of the relationship but within 24 hours it would be really clear.

My husband left and was gone for  less than 24 hours before he asked to come home and talk I was very confused as to why he left and he came home to talk and was full of apologies for leaving but, he didn’t tell my why, it got late we went to bed to continue the conversation the next day.That is when she called defending him and her having private conversation and telling me he was trying to get out of a bad situation and nothing was going on. My heart knew then what he needed to tell me. I went home from work phone rang and it was here again, my husband was walking in the front door the same time as me she heard he voice and her story started to change and when I started asking question she hung up on me. I approached my husband and said there is more to why you left and it may be best if you told me. We let the kids play and went to our room and that is when he told. He left me so he could clear his head, should have done that before the affair. He came cleaned and answered the questions I had. I was so furious I didn’t call her back I called her husband.

I let him know that they had an affair and that I was truly hurt by her actions and his actions and that she was not a good person after everything I had done for her, I don’t take back anything I did for her, that was me being me, and in the end that was her being her. My husband wanted to make it work more than anything and has been a very patient man with all my ups and downs. I have dealt with this at work , she was an employee of mine and I was her boss that situation changed quickly. She then went around town bragging about what she had done and of coarse every feels the same way she did this to someone who did everything for her.

A few months passed I got therapy by reading and thinking through all my own insecurities and made sure that I am okay, then I decided I needed to forgive her so I did…… 

The phone was quick I called and told her she was someone I cared about and thought was a friend I forgive for being a weak person who couldn’t help but hurt someone who helped her, I also told her my husband was weak and I forgive him. She then brought up every terrible thing I said about her after the affair which got the same response every time ” you had an affair with my husband”. Yes I went childish and pointed out all of her faults and never once did I feel like she was better than me, I have always like the person I am and this little girl was not going to change that. I ended the conversation. She made several attempts to call me after that and they were shot down. I may forgive for me , but I am not looking to be friends with someone who went where she went.

With my husband the first thing I did was try to be the perfect wife, I was happy loving and trying really hard to make sure he was happy, then it happened, that wtf moment. I was thinking what am I doing I was a good wife hard working , clean house loving wife who would never stray. So then the anger came….

to be continued.
