Once a cheater, always a cheater?

Everyone's heard the "once a cheater, always a cheater", but does everyone believe in it?

I have to say that I have cheated on two boyfriends before. One knows I did and the other has no clue. So when my husband and I started to date, I told him that I had cheated before (some would say that wasn't smart, but I can't lie to him), and of course I worried that he'd think that "if she cheated on other guys, she'll cheat on me." But I think that you learn from your mistakes.

The first person I cheated on, he wasn't in love with me and I was in love with him, and I thought that if i went out with other guys, then I'd find someone who did love me. Needless to say, when I cheated, I felt horribly guilty and made me realize how much I loved him.

I would never cheat on my husband now, because I learned after I cheated, that I would never want someone to do it to me.

So is it that I got mature? or just kinda "learned my lesson?" who knows. But I do know some people who are older then I am (i'm only 26), and who are still cheating on their gfs, or just started.

But I do have to say, that if someone I was with had cheated, or had cheated on someone to be with me, I'd be worried about them doing the same thing to me. Call me a hypocrite.
