Tips: Are you faithful?

I was just surfing the net when I stumbled upon a webpage with an article about the signs of infidelity in a man. Sounds useful, huh? (I mean, of course, for women and gay guys).

In a world where anything can happen, it’s good to have a ‘guide’ to help us protect ourselves from the painfully hurting feeling of being cheated upon. I mean, how many people you know are actually perfectly faithful to their partner? At some point in a lovey-dovey relationship, someone will just end up cheating the significant other, rite?

So, back to the ‘symptoms’…….they’re quite interesting, actually. And quite surprising too.

There are 5, and here they are:

#1 : He never pays his bills on timeThis shows that the guy is unreliable and careless, meaning that if he doesn’t even care about his own responsibilities, why would he be responsible in his relationships

I SAY: hmmmm…agak terasa jugak. Sounds like me. Does “not doing exam on time” belong in this group?

#2: He’s a Do-GooderWhich means that he’s a guy who does lots of good, beneficial stuffs for others. But how come? Here’s why: by being a Do-Gooder, these people can justify the wrong things they do (i.e. cheating) with explanations that they’re not doing anything wrong at all. Konon konon nak kata yang they have a very high moral standards la tuh.

I SAY: really? Maybe….

#3: He’s richThe explanation is that, people with lower income tend to be more dependent on others in a relationship and thus, they are not very likely to ruin the relationship.

I SAY: I don’t think that’s very true. I mean, I know an acquaintance of my dad, who’s not very rich, but still decided to cheat on his wife. Jahat!

#4: He likes to yellErmm..yeah, yelling and shouting with anger is not very much connected to cheating (I think it just makes the significant other stay away from you….), but some studies have shown that unfaithful partners have many similarities in personalities with abusive, angry ones.

I SAY: yup, anger doesn’t really help, you know……

#5: He’s in love with mirrorsActually, that’s the other way of saying that he’s a narcissistic. He’s soo much into himself and his self-importance that he’ll never think about the effects of him cheating his partner.

I SAY: but hey..if you need to fix your hair?

So girls (and some guys), hopefully those signs will be helpful when you’re choosing someone as your partner…….
