Some people cheat. Some people hurt. Some people isolate. And others surround themselves with lustrous individuals. Depending on what type of relationship we choose and how the course of the partnership developed, are we defined by our relationships? Once a cheater do you wear a scarlet letter? Once alone, will you always be 'the loner?' Are our past relationships a definitive piece of ourselves? And if they are, do they appear definitive from others looking in or us looking out? I strongly believe in karma, but will a cheater never change? Are second chances even an option? Do we make or break friendships because of someone's romantic history? We become the judges and the verdict is in; you are scorned forevermore. If the past continues to catch up, should be just display our mistakes for the world to see? Should we stay quiet until they're uncovered? Or do we hide our treacherous past? Now this doesn't just arise for the cheaters or the pain enforcers - this occurs for the cheat-ees, the people hurt from previous relationships. You're marked too. You're more vulnerable, less trusting, hardened. Should we all march around with signage, flaunting our flaws? Do we live in a society where we are only as dateable as our past relationships?

The Cheaters And Cheat-ees
Some people cheat. Some people hurt. Some people isolate. And others surround themselves with lustrous individuals.

I strongly believe in karma, but will a cheater never change? Are second chances even an option? Do we make or break friendships because of someone's romantic history? We become the judges and the verdict is in; you are scorned forevermore. If the past continues to catch up, should be just display our mistakes for the world to see? Should we stay quiet until they're uncovered? Or do we hide our treacherous past? Now this doesn't just arise for the cheaters or the pain enforcers - this occurs for the cheat-ees, the people hurt from previous relationships. You're marked too.
