Should we be offered a "Get out of Cheat" card?

Should we all be offered a "Get out of Cheat" card similar to the get out of jail free card from the popular game monoploy. Becuase loyalty and faithfulness seem to be non exsistent in today's world. I know I sound like a bitter negative individual. I don't mean to come across that way really. But it seems like that is just the way it is.

I absolutely believe that whether you are married, in any committed relationship of any kind that you should be faithful. If you feel that you are still in a place where you are not able to settle down and be faithful in a relationship then be honest with that other person and DO NOT start a relationship with them.

I am just wondering, is there any more people that believes in the bond that two people can have in a committed relationship? As in another blog I wrote, sex seems to be devalued nowadays.

Just listening to different songs, raps you can hear the lack of commitment in them. I have always thought of music and art as a window into the mentality of its audience. Just one example, a line from rapper Jay Z's rap "Song Cry" that reads:
I was just f****n them girls, I was gon' get right back (edited a bit to maintain the quality of the spirit of this website). What Jay Z is saying is that he has been constanly cheating on his girlfriend. But his girlfriend shouldn't be offended by the cheating because he didn't love any of the women he was cheating with it was just sex. Nothing more, there wer no emotions involved. He is telling his actual girlfriend that he REALLY loves her.

NOTE: this is a line out of Jay Z's rap I do not know anything of his actual personal love life. I just used this as example to show how I think some people think.

I have had relationships where the man has thought the same way as the thought above. I just figured I found the wrong person and moved on, but it just makes me think if sex is no different than just a game or sport are we just doomed? Is there any real chance at loyalty and committment? Or should we just be realistic and issue each other a "get out of cheat" card?

There is, but you just have to find someone that has the same ideas about commitment that you do. In the song you mentioned, he was committed in his mind. The problem arises when each partner's idea of commitment is different.

P.S. You should use a spell/grammar check. Otherwise, a good blog. :)
