the probability of cheating

we are definitely at that age, you know that age where our careers/dreams are booming, our breasts are perky and boys are starting to carry their man weight around.  we are the pick of the litter.  there are so many options.  God bless the people that can pick one and be happy with that but what about everybody else?  is it IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO CHEAT? ok i don't think it's impossible but it is damn sure hard.  i know the first question will be, 'well if you want to cheat, why get in a relationship?' (insert neck rolling and finger snapping here) well smart ass, not everybody goes into a relationship with the intention to cheat.  we get into relationships with other people because we like them and we want to have some sense of security that whatever we invest in will prosper tenfold.  but then you see that man/woman at the bar and he/she is looking mighty fine.  after a couple drinks, she's looking like halle berry and you're feeling like idris elba, the next thing you know you're exchanging numbers and for what?!  you don't need anymore friends.  it's not about business because you haven't even told her where you work so why exchange numbers? because you're interested and as of right now, you are in the beginning stages of cheating.  now you might very well go home and forget all about that number or maybe you'll try and she/he will send you a flirty text to remind you of their liquid enticement.  but the truth is, i'm sure (in most cases of loving relationships) when you told your significant other that you were going out to the bar, you had no intention of bringing someone back with you.  but it happens.  should we EXPECT people to cheat? you can expect whatever your insecurities convince you to and you can tolerate whatever your heart is willing to put up with BUT as far as cheating, is it too much for us to understand the humanity of it?


is it such a foreign concept to the goody two shoes of the world to understand that bad decisions happen?  and by all means you don't have to stay if and when someone cheats on you but you mean to tell me you really can't understand how it happens?  we're young, beautiful, intelligent, ambitious and meeting people who share the same qualities and honestly, cheating doesn't even require that much.  The right temptation doesn't require much ingredients.  should we abstain from relationships because there will always be a possibility of cheating?  or should we go into relationships understanding that we are dating someone who is human who can make mistakes anywhere from being insensitive one day to unfaithful the next?  i heard from @koolestkidout that the hardest lessons are learned IN the relationship so take a leap on faith.  he might cheat or you might cheat but it's a very real possibility that both of you WON'T.  in any case, human error is here to stay but are you?
