Current Events > Is infidelity a black/white issue for you?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Unless the person is involuntarily trapped in their relationship somehow, yes, cheating is always unacceptable.

Never understood the reasoning for humans adopting monogamous relationships. Why does anyone feel the need to control who someone else fucks, why does it hurt your feelings when you dont get to stop someone from having sex with others?

That being said, since thats how society is, if you are in a relationship and not being honest about your intentions... You wrong.

If you're not in a monogamous relationship and you're open about it it's not cheating.

It's a bad thing to do like every other bad thing to do. But people do bad things.

It's not the same. At all. At least this person respected you enough to end things.

I feel like if my partner is capable of leaving me and turning it around with a particular person in that short of a time frame, they should have respectfully left me before they reached that point.

That's ignoring the fact that in practice if that happened to me, I would suspect that they had cheated on me regardless.

In other words, anyone who cheats on his/her partner is wrong, period. Nothing can change your opinion otherwise.

Or do you believe it takes two to tangle and that there might be circumstances where such cheating could be justified.

It's not some childish good and evil morality decision like a bioware game, no. I am not saying a relationship should continue if it happens though.

Typically attraction wanes as people become complacent with their physical upkeep, and that can have a bad effect on your relationship besides cheating as well. Justified? No. always leave If that person refuses or fails to address the attraction issue. Just leave them. People tend to stick around out of fear at this point but it's better to leave.

None of that changes that breaking up first is always the far more respectful one.
