Do you think there is ever a good enough reason to justify cheating?

Yes, I do. Sometimes people aren't receiving what they feel they need in a relationship, but because of history, or lack of a better "arrangement", or because they really do love their partner, they don't want to break their own heart, or break anyone with the truth. It's a sucky reason, but I understand it.

@insidiousisblindinception I completely agree. After all we want to be happy. And some relationships are lacking something... But they are still strongly so you don't want to end them

Lacking companionship, or excitement, or comfort, or understanding, or the craving of another human's body that someone may not be getting in a relationship.

@insidiousisblindinception and if your partner isn't comprehensive and would be hurt... it doesn't justify it but that's how it happens we are humans and not perfect

No, we're not. And I don't want people reading this to assume I'm heartless or a slut. That is not it. People thinking that their relationship is perfect and that all they're ever going to want is you.... Delusional, and unrealistic. There's always going to be something someone desires...

@insidiousisblindinception yeah I mean in the end... love goes beyond that. You are right. Only few would actually understand it.
In my case if let's say I was truly sick and my husband feels like he wants sex with others, I would be o.k. with it. Cause I'm not selfish....because a relationship goes beyond sex.

It does go beyond sex. But if someone was asexual, and the partner is a nympho, it isn't going to work out. Sex is an important part of a relationship no matter what. It is the intimacy, the main one, and without it, it leaves us feeling empty and on edge, and quite frankly, less interested in our partner.

@insidiousisblindinception yes there are a variety of reasons.... But sometimes it isn't easy because you fall in love with that other person. Or them. And then it gets really nasty.
Ah life is complex sigh.

Bingo.
