cheating and abuse are two different animals, i apologize for thowing you off course with my personal story. You are absolutely right- one has nothing to do with the other.

On the other hand, the point I'm trying to make is that there are people in this world who do not tell their partners that they are having multiple sex partners outside their relationships with their main partners (not all married, and not all heterosexuals).

They expose their innocent partners to AIDS and kill them by way of INFIDELITY.

I honestly did not mean to throw you off track with my story--but, as a nurse, I have witnessed a great deal of this.

Most Unfaithful partners do not tell their mates they have been cheating, and continue to have affairs on the side; by doing so, they open the door for their partners to contract AIDS and die.

They do not confront them and admit that they have been unfaithful. They continue to have sex with their mates and others at the same time-exposing their mates to all sorts of life threatening illnesses-mine is not an isolated case.

They continue to behave irresponsibly, and expose their mate to life threatening ailments.
