How Would You React If Your S/O Cheated On You?
In case you haven't heard, trouble is afoot for Twilight's happiest couple. Recent Us Weekly photographs caught Kristen Stewart cheating on boyfriend Robert Pattinson with Rupert Sanders, her director from Snow White and the Huntsman.
Both partners have issued public statements of apology regarding their apparently short-lived affair.
Stewart said, "I am deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I’ve caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.”
For his part, Sanders said, "I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family. My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."
Sanders has been married for 7 years to model Liberty Ross, who ironically enough played Stewart's mother in Huntsman. The pair have two children aged 7 and 5.
I feel terrible for both Pattinson and Ross, although most of all for Sanders' children. Why would you risk your family for a short fling with a young actress? Such a shame.
But really, I'm interested in what happens next.
I've always considered cheating to be a dealbreaker. Of course, I'm currently in a long-distance relationship, so the rules are a bit different for us. We've decided that making out minus emotional attachments is OK. Anything past that, unless it's for a celebrity exception which is really unlikely, is off-limits.
If we were in a short-distance relationship, though, even that would be grounds for breaking up. Of course, I would have told this to him at the beginning. I don't tolerate cheating, if I consider it cheating. I'd rather you just break up with me. That doesn't matter if it's a one-time thing or a long-term affair. If it happens once, we're over.
It remains to be seen, however, if Pattinson and Ross share my beliefs. People has reported that Pattinson has moved out of the home he shared with Stewart, which suggests a breakup is imminent. Terrible as the situation is, it must be easier than them for Ross, who has the children to consider.
No word yet on what she plans to do. On a Twitter account that she subsequently deleted, Ross wrote first, "Wow," then quoted Marilyn Monroe.
The quote? "Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."Doesn't sound promising for Sanders, but who knows?
How would you react if your partner cheated on you? Would your reaction be different depending on the circumstances?

Sadly, some people are just not enough with one partner :/
I have been cheated on, twice. The first time was right after I started dating the guy. He went on a vacation. and slept with 4 other girls.
the 2nd was with my other ex.. he went to visit an internet friend, who ended up being a 14yr old daughter of someone in law enforcement. She got pregnant, and i helped put him in jail.
My husband was cheated on by his ex girlfriend as well.. so we both know what its like.
Anyone who cheats is scum and deserves to spend the rest of their lives alone.
It would be more of a chain reaction, really. And no, my reaction would not be different depending on the circumstances, as I have a very specific definition of "cheating".
Knowingly or unknowingly engaging in physical contact that is romantic or sexual in nature with another person.

JK (I have a dark sense of humor)
Chickens coming home to roost for Pattinson. Apparently he cheated on Nikki Reed with Kristen Stewart... finally dumping Reed for Steward abruptly.
The messed up thing was that Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed were FRIENDS, until Stewart stole Pattinson from Reed.
Here's the thing, Pattinson. If a girl is skank enough to betray her best friend in order to score a boy, she's skank enough to betray that boy for another boy at a later date. Shoulda seen this coming man.
She's not sorry.....he's not sorry, they're upset that they got
caught. If they hadn't then they would have been continuing their little flame. As for me, cheating is a dealbreaker.

I ain't sure I even understand the question...they is people out there who don't cheat? All my white girls know I got other white girls, so they is never really a problem. I mean, every now and then one of them get a little too emotional, and that right there can be a dealbreaker right from jump. Brings to mind a lyric I wrote, goes like this: On to the next one.
personally, i would cut off all contact with my s/o, I'm not willing to put up with it
I dated a guy for four years, he broke up with me due to all these things that were apparently my fault (we were in a long distance relationship), and we continued to meet up and go away together in hopes of rekindling our relationship once we both finished school. We went to Boston together three weeks ago and a day after I got back I found out that he had another girlfriend before he even broke up with me that he cheated on me with and then cheated on her with me. I contacted the other girl and she's apparently okay with everything that happened. She also is paying for his school and lets him live her for free. My reaction was to cut off all communication even going as far as to change my number. I think that cheaters are scummy and I don't see any reason as to why I need to put myself through that. I fully believe that he's dating her just until he's done using her and I think he wanted to get back together with me. We talked about getting back together often and even made plans to go to New York together in December. I had even asked him if he had been dating that specific girl hundreds of times and he always denied it and said she was pregnant with his best friend's baby. I found out through Facebook, but we weren't friends and he thought he had everything on private. So bottom line to me is that cheaters are always going to be cheaters because I knew he had been one previously.
@phoebester@xanga - Whoa I never heard that about Nikki Reed before. Very interesting!
I agree with what you're saying about people that betray/cheat on their friends and hookup. It's never a good thing and rarely does it stop at one person. :(
I can understand the reasons why someone would cheat, but if it were done to me personally I doubt I could continue a relationship with that person, due to the fact I probably would never trust the person again.
Even though a cheater might not automatically be "a douche bag" or "slut," I do believe it takes a very weak person to hurt someone so profoundly for their own selfish desires. No matter how anyone may try and justify it, you are knowingly risking the heartbreak of another person. Faithfulness may not always be easy, but it is always a choice.
I could care less about Kristen Stewart's affair, except for the fact the guy she fooled around with hads kids. To me, that's a whole nother ball game. You are risking a family so you can touch an attractive guy's penis? Congratulations, Ms. wonderful.
@phoebester@xanga - didn't Kristen have a boyfriend too? I'm pretty sure she either dumped him for Rob or cheated on him with Rob.
My significant others can make out with whoever they want without asking, and can have sex with people they aren't dating if they ask first - and there are very, very few people I'd be opposed to.
If they cheated on me, they'd be skipping the step of asking me first when they'd probably STILL get to do what they wanted with the person in question if they did without having to cheat on me for it. And there'd pretty much be zero excuse for that, so the relationship would at least be renegotiated and likely terminated.
I've never been cheated on as far as I know (or cheated on someone). I think it would be grounds for break up for the most part. Is there always an exception (no matter how unwise)? Possibly.
@phoebester@xanga - @eugenia@xanga - I haven't heard about Nikki Reed and Rob dating either. I do know Kristen broke up with Michael Angarano, her boyfriend of 4 years for Rob and possibly (probably) cheating on him with Rob. Soooo, I wasn't really surprised about this news. It sounds like Kristen is just a crappy person.
For me, it was devastating. We had agreed early into our eleven year relationship that if either of us wanted to go elsewhere, we would break up and NOT cheat. He called me on the phone to tell me he cheated. Surprisingly, (even to me) I was willing to forgive him (idiot was the love of my life)but she got pregnant.So he married her and now the 55yr old idiot is raising another kid and cheating on his new wife. First guy I ever trusted and it will be the last.
"...jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob..." what a bunch of bull. why don't they just be honest and say that they are selfish horndogs, who doesn't give a shit about others because they knew exactly what they were doing and they can't believe that they were caught when they were hiding in the bushes.
It's honestly not something I worry about, and I really don't know how I would react. Not helpful. Sorry.
Woah, she cheated with the director of one of her movies who is married and has children? They're both freaking scumbags for that. Not only did she cheat on a really great guy, which was enough already, but she got involved with someone who had a family. Not cool at all. There's no excuse for that.
@LadyGwenivere@xanga - omg i can't believe your second ex got a 14-year-old pregnant that is so messed up. i'm glad you put him in jail! i hope you and your husband are happy and at peace for the rest of your lives.
Making out to you isn't cheating?....Wow.
Wow, I am in a long-distance relationship too but I couldn't ever image us letting each other make out with different people! But if it makes you guys happy, then by all means! :)
If my boyfriend cheated on me... I would feel betrayed and horrified, I am not sure whether or not I would want to work things out, because in my mind that is one of the ultimate betrayals in a relationship.
Cheating is a big deal for me, emotional and physical. If it were a first offence, I would probably be more quick to forgive, but from then on, I don't know how I would react...
I have no tolerance for cheating, but if the guy really wants to be back in a relationship, I think he has to show 100% he understands what he did wrong and some how prove that it won't happen again.
i can't imagine telling someone what to do (or not to do) with his or her body, so i don't really believe in this idea of cheating.
@UnconventionalButterfly@xanga - Exactly! If you loved the person it wouldnt have happened. Real people discuss their problems & needs with their partner, not cheat!
