MY OPINION

If you are in relationship never cheat even though you’re not happy with him/her, even though that there is no romance in relationship, even though your relationship is not that sweet and happy just like before but i believe that in a saying that you could feel the love and happiness at first. Then if you are married person and had a child never make a decision that make your family broken and make your child hurt, because when your family has been broke the first person who will hurt the most is your child. Cheating is not a solution in a relationship because if you don’t happy just talk about it and solve it. Sometimes when you fall in love, we only listen in our heart without thinking that we must also follow our mind, we just need to be brave and wise when it comes about love.
