Today a friend, who knows I am a PUA, asked me about what to do in his relationship. He and his gf have been together for like 3 years and they're 20 years both of them. They had a discussion about cheating and he told me their conversation went something like this. I told him I'd give him advice after thinking about it. Please help me
She told him that her mother had been cheated on by all of her men, and that's why she lives alone at the moment. He then said that "Cheating sucks" and that he couldn't understand how someone could cheat their partner. She responded with "Well, it happens." Then he said that his parents had been together for like 30years and that they hadn't had any other gf/bf during their life. Then she said in a jokingly way "That's not good at all. It's not healthy!" He replied with "Why is it not healthy to love one person over such a long time?" She then answered "Well, one shouldn't settle down to early, like your parents did. They were only 18 when they got togheter. I think it's necessary to check out what's out there before you marry each other or decides to stay with your partner." Then he didn't know what to answer because he was "shocked" as he said. He has planned on proposing to her this summer so I understand why he don't know what to do
Summed up, this is what she means about cheating:
* It happens a lot (which is true, but he thinks she looks at it like it's no big deal)
* That you shouldn't settle down too early before you have checked out what's out there (he has planned on proposing to her... he don't know whether she has checked what's out there lol)
* That it's not healthy to have only one serious relationship during a life
* She has a familyhistory where cheating has happened a lot.
What should he do? Forget about proposing to her and lay that away for quite some time?
- Consistence
She didn't said that cheating was normal, she said that it happened, and she is righ, it does happen! But never did she stated that it was normal... Its like saying "Well, stuff happens!" ... Now... She's 20 ... and they've been together for "like 3 years" so they were both 17 when they got together ...
If he would to propose, it would be bad for BOTH.... because at 17 starting a Lont term relationship, it really is not the best way to go... She is right, settling at 18 is waaaay too young.
You don't taste all the ice cream flavors before choosing one...
Plus.. its the "college era" its the time to have fun, and meet new people, once you should start to settle in my opinion would be when you're done with college... this is the age you should have the maturity to know what you want. I don't say get engaged at 21... but its good to start LTR ...
In my case.. I had a time of "having fun" from 16 to 20 ... right now I'm 20 and I really dont want to go around dating women a lot, I want to be in a relationship, a serious relationship, but thats what I want.... I didn't got into PUA to bed a thousand women, I just want to be in a relationship...
It is indeed not good, in my opinion to have only ONE relationship in your whole life!! You will regret it! You have to know the world!! The different kind of people!!
And if there has been experience of cheating on her family, likely is she won't do it ... even if its her first relationship...
If a girl has cheated and/or has been cheated, she knows the mistake, and she knows the consecuences that it will carry ... there is no such thing as "giving into temptation" a mature women knows what she wants. There has been a really big alcohol history in my family which attributes to the fact that I don't drink or barely drink.
Growing up, we take our parents as role models, so she saw what they did, and saw the consecuences, so she learned without experiencing it herself!!
