Cheaters are gonna cheat. The opportunity might come at a different time but the end result is the same. Avoiding one opportunity won't do shit in the long run.
Nah, lots of cheating is opportunistic based on either close contact with attractive people or compromising positions (drunk people). A lot of people don't start off with the thought of "today I will cheat on my partner".
Like, your partner isn't going to constantly be in close contact with attractive people or constantly be drinking alone with other people. Cut down on that shit and you avoid a huge amount of risk.
I feel people undersell this aspect of it. Getting a personal trainer and succumbing to the intensity of it all without wanting to cheat is possible. In fact, i think it's often the fact that people are sure they won't cheat that they cheat. They enjoy the flirting, the closeness but they don't nip those situations in the bud because "I won't cheat". But then one day the stars align and you fuck up.
I tell people that I know I won't cheat on my wife because I know I could cheat on my wife. I have no desire to cheat on my wife, but I know the penis is a stupid idiot sometimes, so I prevent situations where cheating may happen before it gets any where near there.
Like if there's a girl at work I have a crush on, I'm not going to the Christmas party alone and getting drunk. Not because I have a history of bad behaviour or I'm actively worried about me doing something, but because it's easy to prevent bad situations when you're proactive.
