Full transcript

1. 0:00If a partner is cheating on her, when
2. 0:02should we decide that we should stop
3. 0:04putting efforts in a relationship?
4. 0:06>> What is the very definition of cheating?
5. 0:08If somebody lies to you, would you say
6. 0:10he's cheating? Your husband or wife lies
7. 0:12to you all the time. That's a fact. Do
8. 0:15you say the fellow is cheating? No. No.
9. 0:17The fellow is sleeping with someone.
10. 0:19That's what you call as cheating, right?
11. 0:20Lies or romance, all that is not the
12. 0:23thing. Sex is not merely physical. More
13. 0:25often than not, you will not even
14. 0:27discover when your spouse is having
15. 0:29non-physical sex with someone. You're
16. 0:32watching a movie with your husband or
17. 0:34your girlfriend. Is he not enjoying all
18. 0:36the girations on the screen? That too is
19. 0:39cheating. By that definition, you will
20. 0:40not go to someone else. I'll not go to
21. 0:42someone else. You can have such an
22. 0:44agreement, but this agreement cannot
23. 0:46last. The breaking of this kind of
24. 0:47agreement will give a lot of pain. That
25. 0:51pain is the punishment. If a man and
26. 0:52woman have to be together, they must be
27. 0:54together on the foundation of love and
28. 0:56friendship, not on the basis of this
29. 0:59kind of a vulgar commitment. And if love
30. 1:03is really fulfilling, if friendship is
31. 1:05really uplifting, you find the two
32. 1:07people will have fewer and fewer reasons
33. 1:10to look elsewhere.
