Fidelity in the Gay World. Myth?

The word committment - does that mean anything to anyone anymore or are we all disposable? I find myself puzzled in this stage of my life with regards to why gay men cheat on their partners. It seems that so many do and it is really hurtful and destroys peoples lives...and for what? Just to get off? Is it because people know that they can as long as they don't get caught? Let's face it, relationships are hard enough to inititate...so very hard to development and nurture....why hurt the one that you supposedly love just for a little romp in the sack with some stranger or even someone that you both know? I'm not declaring that all gay men cheat but so many of you do and those of you who do are part of the problem and part of the reason why gays are looked upon so negatively. If you are in a relationship and decide that you want to sleep with someone else, then at the very least, communicate with your partner and tell them or end your relationship if you are not happy with what you have now. Don't be a coward. If you are afraid that your partner will leave you if you tell him/her that you want something else or have slept with someone else, then don't cheat! You can't have it both ways when you are in a committed relationship! It's just that bloody easy! If you choose to not be committed, then end the partnership and move on so that your partner can put closure on their end and move on as well. And for those of you who just like to sleep around...I've got news for you too! IF YOUR LUCKY enough to find that someone that is your moon and sun...you better work hard to hang on to what you have or you will look over your shoulder one day and you'll be completely alone. Life goes by too fast and for those of you who are in your 20's...all of what you think you have now will eventually change and before you know it, you are pushing 40 something and you are all alone. Cherish your partner, support your partner and work to keep it alive. If your partner is not meeting you half way with the support, then it's time for you to move on. Committment, communication, loyality, dedication and love without any boundaries or limits is what you will need to for an everlasting happy relationship
