Can you claim to love someone and still consciously cheat on such someone?

 

I have come across so many people in committed relationships that seriously claim to love their various partners but they still cheat continuously on the partners that they claimed to love and it's making me wonder if they truly understand what the word 'love' truly means.

 

I know that that no one is perfect, but the few times that I've been carried away with thoughts of cheating because they opportunity presented itself, I always find myself fighting seriously to resist it and putting myself in my partner's shoes. I know that I can never tolerate cheating of any kind because it's the utmost betrayal of love, but I don't know if that is same with everyone. This is why I want to know if love allows cheating because I find the two to be very conflicting.

Do you know that every parent has a very limited time to influence their kids positively?

About three days ago I called my daughter "my little angel" and she smiled and responded "dad, I'm still your angel but I'm no longer little". I laughed and told her that she'll always be my little angel irrespective of how grown she's become because she's my baby and she'll always be my baby...

The kid I was talking about is just 13 years old, though she has the physique of a 16 years old. These kids sometimes grow very fast that one begins to wonder if they are being fed daily with growth hormones. My little daughter of yesterday is now telling me: her dad, that she's no longer little. Imagine if i had failed to bond with her, guide her aright and build a good relationship with her when she was little, how would our relationship be now that she's now considering herself to be a big girl?

She may probably start resisting my instructions and good gestures for her because she wouldn't feel any special bond with me. As a parent, when you fail to bond with your kids and build a strong and cordial relationship with them when they are little, you're positioning yourself to be resisted by such kids when they start thinking that they are grown up enough to start making their own decisions.

Someone once said that: "it is how you bond, guide and relate with your kids when they are little that would determine how such kids would relate with you when they think they've come of age to have their own say". Relationship building with our kids is one vital aspect of parenting that we should never neglect as parents and we have very limited time to do that because the kids seem to be growing very fast.

Some of us consider ourselves to be great parents because we are meeteting our kids needs, while the kids may be thinking otherwise. Kids know when you're not giving them priority and it really makes them mad that they might start doing things to get back at you when they think that they have come of age. Aside directing your kids, guiding them aright and investing in their future, it is how you bond and relate with them that creates the fondest memories in the kids, and such bond is hardly broken even after the kids might have left home and have started their own families.

Relationship building with the kids should be the focal point of parenting because it influences how the kids would respond to your guidance, instructions and directions. Your kids may forget all the money you invested in them but they would never forget how you made them feel by being there for them and building a special connection with them. So it's in your best interest as a parent to start developing a loving and special bond with your kids because you have a very limited time to do that and that time is already counting very fast.
