“Why Should I Sign The Oath?”

April 7, 2010 by Faith Jones · View Comments 

I already know I won’t cheat so why does this apply to me? Glad you asked…

Even though you’re the type who would never-ever consider cheating on your partner or becoming the dreaded “other woman,” chances are you know someone whose life has been turned upside down by infidelity. A friend, a family member, a co-worker, your barista? Perhaps you know something about someone’s partner that you’ve been withholding because you don’t want to “get involved.” Maybe you indulge a friend who talks incessantly about the man she’s going to marry…as soon as he leaves his wife.

Or perhaps none of this applies to you in any way, and if that’s the case, can we have your life, please? Sadly, there are some of us out here whose relationships may not be as solid as yours, and we need to know that you’ve got our back. We need to know that no matter how painful, we can always count on you to tell us the truth. We need you to make a promise to us now that you will get involved, because we’re all involved. We have to be. This chain we’re building is only as strong as its weakest link and so, Sisterfriend, we’re counting on you big time. Thanks for listening.

Now tell us why you did or did not sign The Oath…

    I believe in women supporting women!

    While I enjoyed the movie and believe that this is a timely topic, I am not going to sign the oath. I really feel that what goes on inside a marriage (whether it involves a high profile or a "regular" couple) is very personal and unique to each relationship. However, I am sure that many people will disagree with my point of view, and I wish you all the best with this venture.

    I signed the oath because as a newlywed, I hate the thought of some woman coming on to my husband!! Also, men aren't the only ones who cheat. Women step out quite a bit as well. So this reinforces my vow that even if/when we go through hard times, I will not betray the oath of our marriage.
    I hate to be a cynic, but I read the other comments and unfortunately, I think I agree with Laurel. But I am hopeful that this will reach enough people, and if it makes one person think twice about betraying a marriage, what a great thing that would be!

    This is such a great idea! I'm telling all my friends!
    I'm only 15!

    Im extremely tempted to forward this to my ex husband's "lady friend" but can't figure out how to do this anonymously. Great idea but must agree with Laurel's comment. A leopard can't change it's spots...

    The problem is, the women who really need to be signing this oath, never will!
    How many of Tiger's women do you think are really interested in this oath. I bet even after all the media attention, if another rich married man came into their lives, they'd be back to doing what they do best....

    Thanks to The Sister Oath for stepping up to the plate! Everyone knows a family member or friend who has experienced the havoc of cheating, and its's devastating. Whether it's happened to you directly or not, it's time to take a stand and come together. Let's end this disrespect and humiliation, and SIGN THE SISTER OATH NOW!

    @ doron I think you should sign the oath! Having both men and women sign it empowers the message being displayed, the message being that we wont take part in the monopoly of cheating spouses whether it be man or woman! When i say sistas i really mean sistas and mistas!
  • Doron Orenstein
    Ahh, ok, I thought that the oath was just for women. Anyhow, I just signed it! :)

    I came across this website when my mother sent it to me. I am so proud to see women taking a stand against infidelity! Finally! So many men in the media lately are cheating on their wives and its biting them in the derriere. For me, Jesse James was the last straw! I firmly hope that if someone was so unhappy with their relationship with me, that they would respect me enough to end the relationship, instead of cheating on me and making things more complicated! Us sisters need to stick together!
  • Jennine Rose
    I am sooo pleased to find such a dedicated website fighting for the bonds of sisterhod! I have personally been affected by the cheating spouses although it was indirectly, i was still amongst the web of lies. IN ORDER FOR MEN TO TAKE US SERIOUSLY WE NEED TO TAKE OURSELVES SERIOUSLY AND NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE DRAWN INTO THEIR DECEITFUL LIES AND CHARM! We need to stnd together and fight for sisterhood!
  • Sherri
    Wonderful! finally someone giving us (women) the opportunity to commit to each other not to cheat. We are all sisters and if we don't help each other by showing respect, who will. We as a sosiety have fallen off our moral compass. We as a society can get back on TOGETHER.
  • Doron Orenstein
    Well, I didn't sign the oath because I'm a guy and I'm not sure it applies to me, really (?) but it is a truly intriguing concept. Of course we blame the cheating husband, but I also have to wonder about the self-esteem of any woman who allows herself to get involved with someone else's man. I doubt any little girl grows up saying to herself "one of these days I hope to find a sweet, caring, and handsome man...who's already married!"
  • Irene Benjamin
    This is a fabulous idea! We have to do this for each other. For our families, our sisters, our daughters and our friends. I signed the oath because even though I haven't been personally affected by a cheating spouse, I have friends who have suffered through this experience and I’ve watched first hand the complete devastation this can have on a family and state of mind. I agree the only way to make a change is to band together and stop it at the source. It’s time to take a stand and garner our power as women and decide that respect for one another needs to take precedence over the selfish actions of immediate gratification. I signed the oath – and I hope all of you sign it too!
