Is it more or less likely for someone that has been cheated on to cheat on you?

In some ways this could be a stupid question...but at the same time, it might corrupt someone or make them think it is okay. I would like to know what you all think...thanks!

    It varies...someone who's been cheated on will sometimes cheat on that person for revenge, but I don't think it increases their chance of cheating on someone else down the road (who hasn't cheated on them).

    Typically, someone who has been cheated on knows how crummy it feels, so is a little less likely to cheat just to cheat...few people who know that feeling want to give it to someone else.

    it's not a stupid question. I did it because he did it and then nothing worked, not with him nor with anybody else and in the end, yes, i felt corrupted and that I was imitating him, and it wasn't frivolous, it was disgusting. I don't want to ever be in this sick thing again.

    even if the other person doesn't cheat, something is broken, trust me.

    Not likely. The ones you have to worry about are the signifigant others who accuse YOU of cheating. Classic case cheaters always project their guilt somewheres. Once a cheater, always a cheater!

    It could go either way.

    Some will understand the pain it causes, and not want to inflict it to others,... it makes some cold,... and not caring to others feelings.

    It truely depends on the type of person they are, and what their values are. You just need to know them more deeply.
