if my boyfriend has a degenerate family full of cheaters, can i trust him to be loyal?
he seems pretty honest, smart, sweet and hard-working. he often talks about marriage, and i've been thinking about it too.
the thing is i absolutely do not tolerate cheating of any nature, and i know for a fact that his brother went to a strip club before marrying his wife. i know he would try to get my bf into one too when his time comes. his brother is a forceful and aggressive guy by nature... like he doesn't take "no" for an answer.
what do?

statistically speaking children of cheaters are more likely to cheat but this is a generality rather than a rule.
You're assuming that just because his family is like that, he might be too. That's illogical and a huge sweeping blanketed fear. Everyone is unique and makes their own choices. My family is super conservative. By your logic, youd probably say I am too. Truth is, I'm not. I'm my own person. Your boyfriend is his own person. Give him a chance to be himself. If you can't trust him now to be who he says he is and to make his own decisions, then you've got deeper issues that don't have to do with him at all.
Don't look at what happened outside of his control. Look at how he responds to it. Maybe he saw the hurt from up close and it made him all the more determined to honor marriage. If he shrugs and says something akin to "shit happens", run for the hills.
If you can't seriously discuss this with him like adults, your potential marriage was bound to fail anyway.
My family has a lot of cheaters and I got fucked up as a kid when I walked in on my remarried dad and my mom hooking up when I was in 5th grade and my dad already had another kid. Now I hate infidelity, and consider it the ultimate relationship sin take that for what you will.

honey this is not cheating - remember - he can read the menu as long as he eats at home
otherwise you need to talk to him about this - you seem very concerned about cheating & that is valid for you, it can be very painful to get cucked
