Well, it's a basic falsehood. There are always other options. The more pertinent question would be whether cheating is justified in this scenario and I would say that depends on context. If she cannot easily leave the husband because of the legitimate fear of violence then I would suggest that she would be justified in cheating. If his behaviour broke all the fundamental assurances of a relationship and he were physically preventing her from leaving, or was abusing her in an equivalent manner, then it's a relationship in name only. In that respect she would owe him nothing in particular and that includes loyalty. You could argue that a woman, even under the threat of violence, could seek refuge with family or in a shelter but those options are not always available.

If it were merely an unsatisfying relationship and she was not in any way under any kind of threat or facing the equivalent level of abuse of any kind then cheating is not justified. Even if she couldn't leave immediately she could be honest with him about the relationship being over.

What does mean?

I can't see how one does not have the option to leave but has the option to cheat?

Those who have the time, means and freedom to successfully carry on an extramarital affair for over a year, should also have the time, means, freedom and planning skills, to work on a plan to leave the relationship that's stifling them.

Reading the comments, it's almost unanimous.
Nuff said.

Cheating is NEVER an option, NEVER!

This just seems as if the person is justifying cheating…because leaving is ALWAYS an option unless she is captured in a cage which apparently she is not

Cheating cannot be justified. If living in a toxic relationship then get divorced and move on.

It’s certainly worthy of an ultimatum. If that fails, plan the affair and the divorce.

Ummm...yeah, in the problem as constrained, that seems at least A solution.

I’m single but he may be depressed or something like that. Not always cheating

leaving is always the option, when no respect is left, then cheating

Tell me about the “you can’t leave” part. You probably can.

Sounds reasonable, except there should be an option to leave.

Probably still wrong. But people got to be happy.

Possibly but remember what i msg you. Revv revv boom

The same goes for men with women

Then why have a husband at all

Variety is good 😉

Where did u find that

Agreed, even if the wife doesnt suplly the physical affection the husband wants.

There are two options if you stay married:
Resign to the fact you will never have sex again, or cheat.

Sure.

I dunno what the terms are of the marriage, but if there's no love, really the only option is divorce or at least separation. I still disagree with cheating. Rather just end it.

We must do what we can to be happy…

There are a lot of ways I would have ended that sentence, but "cheating" isn't one of them

Everyone's different..some will say yes,some will say no,others say divorce!
