In any generation cheating has never been okay, but somehow slowly throughout the years a one night is now somehow somewhat okay. If someone came with the excuse “it was just a one night thing, it will never happen again.” There is a chance (surprisingly) that that person would get a second chance. Or Vice Versa. For example if a guy or girl is asked to spend just one night with their ex-boyfriend/ girlfriend and then give them a lustful temptation, there is a chance the guy/girl will agree (surprisingly). Even if they are already in a relationship with someone else, but will try to convince themselves and make it sound less scandal less so they don’t feel guilty by saying “it was just one time” or “it meant nothing”. That is exactly what …show more content…
It’s the very first thing she said in the song, then she says the word “fire” and when she says that she is referring to it as the temptation as to why she lied, but she was very well aware of her actions, but in the end still did it anyways. Although she owns up to it, when Grande sings that part of the song, those lyrics can be understood in different tones of emotions, some see this and see a bit of bravery in her and other get a bit frustrated with her. Those who see bravery can see the regret she has about being unfaithful to her ex. Others get frustrated because “being honest” should be the first thing an unfaithful person should do, and they should not feel proud of admitting their wrong doings. In the end of the first verse Grande is feeling sorry for herself, and wants other to feel sorry for her as well. “I was a liar / I gave in to the fire / I know I should've fought it / At least I'm being honest / Feel like a failure / 'Cause I know that I failed you / I should've done you better / 'Cause you don't want a liar” (Lines …show more content…
First they break someone’s heart and then, once their ex-boyfriends / girlfriend finds happiness again, they come back asking for a second chance. Putting someone in this situation is easy if you are the one asking, but if you’re the one being asked you either have to tell them you’re not interested (which is a hard thing to do.) or you think about getting back with them/ give them a second chance which is even harder because them you would have to face the consequences after and it can go two different ways. You could get back with your ex-boyfriend / girlfriend and then have to tell their current boyfriend / girlfriend it’s over, or they won’t want to get back with them after that one night they spent together and then their current boyfriend / girlfriend finds out and the person that was cheated on loses their current and ex-boyfriend / girlfriend. Whichever decisions they make something bad will
It’s a way to show that person how much they mean to you and that as long as you live, hopefully, that’s the first and last person you’ll have it with. Purity has become such a lesser issue and put in the background of priorities in a relationship. The standard in that sense is not what it used to be. In the book Lennia gets on the elevator and one point and realizes that she has slept with every man in there with her. This doesn’t seem to have much of an effect on her. IT doesn’t make her feel like a whore. More or less it makes her feel proud in a sense. They’ve been brainwashed to think that not only is multiple partners a good thing, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. If you stop and look around you, it’s clear this is beginning to happen. Statistics say that “50 percent of marriages end in divorce each year”. (Do 50% of Marriages Really End in Divorce?) This is a fact, and a scary one at that! This would be a reduced amount of of a problem if people won’t get into a marrage just because they’re having a kid together for
All her memories of the night before are starting to come back to her. The line “It’s not enough to face your own regrets” (line 7) alludes to things she may have said or done and now wishes she could take it back. She is remembering the words that she spoke. Or could this be the words that someone else said to her? (Though they’re coming back fast, the things you said)” (line 8). The words that were said and the actions that were done start to come back into focus and the speaker is left to wallow in her remorse. She realizes the words and actions are not something that can be taken back. All the speaker can do is clean up the messes that has been made, think about the words that were spoken and how they led to the end of her
This type of action makes the stereotypes that all men cheat because of “sex”, but a study shows that men cheat because their girlfriend or wives don’t “show them that they're appreciated”( Nicole Yorio). Women don’t take in account that “men are emotionally driven beings too.” (Nicole Yorio). Thus, that’s why Ethan felt hard for Mattie because she made feel emotionally good about himself. “They began to talk easily and simply.”(Ethan Frome p.28). While, the years he had been with Zeena all he heard was “complain, and to complain of things not in his power.”(Ethan Frome p.22), but with Mattie he didn’t have to worry about that because she’s young, beautiful, and as I mentioned made him feel like a human being and was easy to talk to. The only night he spend was the best of his live, but the thought of his wife returning, “was as painful as the return to consciousness after taking an anaesthetic.” (Ethan Frome p.30), just the thought of her made “his body and brain
When first listening to the song it mentioned “I bust the windows out your car,” which made me think she was going to ruin his vehicle. As the song prolongs you hear the hurt in her voice. Even though she’s in agony she feels even better knowing she’s the one who’s teaching him that she’s not the one to be messed with. She was hurt, but she wants to leave the relationship with pride and an understanding that she did what she had to do.
When people move from partner to partner, often with no intention of seeing the person again, they have to refrain from the natural inclinations to form a bond of trust with them. As Zimmerman states, “Rather than learning to approach the other with openness, the practice of hooking up encourages one to draw near to the other with distrust, doubt, and fear…hooking up in its most basic form, is simply about the ability to become unhooked from one’s partner” (Zimmerman 56). Although the natural human response to intimacy follows sexual behaviors, those who engage in “hooking up” must guard themselves, suppressing that desire, in order to continue this behavior without hanging on to past partners. This is not healthy behavior if one intends to enter into marriage in the long-run, as the practice of self-disclosure and trust is integral to a long term relationship. Again, Zimmerman writes, “the practice of hooking up fosters the skill of shutting down one’s mind and heart and allowing only one’s body to function as something to be consumed without any development of emotional or psychological intimacy” (Zimmerman 56). This is also unhealthy behavior for a future relationship. Constant practices of disrespect, objectification, and a lack of self-disclosure are sure to become habitual, and prevent

To start off, the first stanza in her song represents a sense of how unavoidable change is and how the confusion of the bond combined with the stress of the blame game can lead to a doomed
It’s just like cheating on a diet. If you “accidentally” eat something you shouldn’t, it doesn’t mean you have to ruin a whole day or week of your diet to have a cheat day/week. A small lapse in judgement is what makes for great stories and I think people need to live on the wild side every once in a while. So, I pose a question once again… Have you ever taken a ride on the wild
The song ¨Bad Liar¨ by Selena Gomez, she explains the experiences and difficulties of having a crush on someone. Throughout the song she expresses her feelings by using repetition and literary devices. This song overall is supposed to be relatable to all the people who have or have had a crush on someone.
She is able to see that the outside voices and perspective are not relevant. That it doesn't matter that women tell her to be ashamed or that she should quit because they don’t know what it is she really does. By claiming that the Helen of Troy, goddess of beauty, would be the only one to understand reveals a sense of relatability that the speaker feels to Helen. By accepting and relating to Helen as a stripper, the speaker can finally let go of her subconscious worrying and shame about her profession and accept the beauty and power that she holds. The speaker closes the poem by stating, “This is a torch song./ Touch me and you’ll burn.” A torch song is a love song usually about unrequited love. By referencing this, the speaker further proves the power that she has over people, especially men. The speaker uses her beauty and power over these men and controls their hearts, leaving them wanting more. She continues to demonstrate her understanding of her self worth and power by claiming that “you’ll burn”. She uses both the metaphor of the torch and burn to suggests that her power is like a fire one that cant be controlled, and now that she is able to see that she can be like the one she admires, Helen of troy, and
According to Wayans Day 49% of women agree they cheat on their husband due to lack of sexual pleasure and or excitement. Many people blame social media for the majority of cheating. But little do they know that the uprising of infidelity, pornography, and adultery began around the 1960’s. “The end of The Lady Chatterly’s Lover ban, was when sexy truly began.” Says Philip Larkin. To understand the relationship you have to focus on the changes of societal acceptance outside of matrimonial bonds from the 1920’s compared to now. Lady Chatterly’s Lover introduced a feeling that they had the choice for their sexuality and who it was with, whenever before it had always been

Some people cheat with the hope of never being caught. Another reason why relationships fail are because of children, some people having children will help in reality it only makes worse. On the other hand, if a person may bring their child or children into the relationship, and the child and the other partner does not get along that usually cause a big problem.
People utilize many different words to describe, define and even attempt to dismiss adultery; unfaithfulness, infidelity, playing the field, extramarital relations, having an affair are just a few. The net result of this choice however is the destruction of a personal reputation, trust and respect, while at the same time laying waste to spouse and children alike. Even in the earliest days of civilization adultery was understood to be destructive, thus earning its own “Thou Shalt Not”, in addition to, at least 40 other less than positive references and assorted stories in the Bible. Many societies, including our own, have gone so far as to outlaw this practice; in some cultures penalties range up to death. So why do we allow
