What is worse, cheating or lying?
Whould you rather be with a loyal liar who lies about trivial things or cheater who hides what they do?
The very concept is “cheating” is assuming one is lying. They’re the same. Truthfulness is trust. If I love someone and they love me I couldn’t care less what else they do with their genitalia. If my partner tries to hide another from me, I know the trust is gone and that betrayal is what is so hurtful. Respect and trust me enough to tell the truth.
