How do you stop yourself from cheating?

What kind of cheating are we talking about? Cheating on taxes? Cheating on your spouse? On exams?

I rarely have any desire to cheat. Sometimes I’ll cheat when I’m playing online scrabble with my friend though. but I still make it so that I don’t win. Just come close to his score. Otherwise it’s embarrassing.

Don't ask me. In high school when I had to take a test where I listed all 50 US presidents and their years in power and their political parties, I may have pulled out my phone while the teacher stepped out to look up Gerald Ford's years 🙈🙈🙈

In a relationship? Pfft thats easy, love and faith - plus if I'm content I have no need to waste energy looking else where. In a board game: if feels better to win without cheating!

respect for the other person, like if they are expecting me to be a certain way and I'm not, then I'm going to respect their time and effort and not waste those things

I've never had the opportunity. If I did, I would just think about how bad it would be if my girlfriend found out and broke up with me. And maybe execute discipline or willpower or something.
