A guy friend of mine asked me the other day, "why do women react to some cheating worse than others?"

After asking a few questions for clarity on the question, I responded like this:
First of all, there are degrees of cheating. Every woman is different, so this is a discussion to be had between partners, ya dig? Some women are so sensitive, that if you even LOOK at another woman, they feel disrespected and cheated on. On the other end of the spectrum, you have some women that expect a certain level of cheating, and can handle their man having sex with a random woman or women if it's only a one-night stand, but have problems with their man actually "dating" or spending time with another woman. There all kinds of variations in the middle of that spectrum. Some of you will refer to swinging, or partner swapping, which is a whole other topic.

For most women, the emotional distress is the biggest issue. Most women have trouble with thinking about their men sleeping with another woman. However, if a woman is otherwise happy with the relationship, there is a great possibility that she can and will get over a one-time thing. However, when a woman enters into a committed relationship with a man, she envisions (and expects) that she is the ONLY one. Any destruction of that perception will scar the relationship. But there are several things that complicate the situation.

The cardinal sins of cheating are as follows:

• Never cheat with a known associate of your partner (i.e., friend, family member, co-worker, neighbor, arch enemy (lol), etc.)

• All extra-curricular whores should be treated as such (i.e., you should not feed, clothe, shelter, transport, "sponsor", or impregnate any such woman or her associates – including children)

• Never discuss your woman with any other woman that is not blood related

• Do not expose your family (especially your children) to extra-curricular whores

• Never have unprotected sex with any woman that is not yours

• Avoid oral contact (especially kissing)

• No gifts should be exchanged unless they can be shared with your No. 1…lol (It's pimpin', pimpin…lol)

• Never perform extraordinary sexual acts outside of your relationship unless they have been banned from your current relationship.

• No traveling with women who are not blood related

• Dating should be at a minimum, but she should pay and there should be no PDA and public appearances should be far away from your norm, and nowhere you have ever been with your woman

• Make sure that your No. 1 is taken care of physically and emotionally (otherwise she'll be looking for whatever clues u leave behind)

These are a few basics. I understand that to most men, these rules sound ridiculous when you put them all together. But that's why your women get all pissed off and wanna fight and leave u when u get caught. lol…. If you follow the rules, things will be a lot easier and much more forgivable. If you can't follow these rules when you're cheating, then you're not one of those rare guys that should be allowed to cheat. When these rules are followed, most men get a slap on the wrist if and when they get caught.
