I Think Cheating Is Wrong

Either you are single or you're not. If you're 'unhappily' married or 'having problems' or 'having second thoughts' it does not make you free shop around in the singles market looking for a possible alternative just in case you should need one. If your partner's no good then what's stopping you from leaving them? You can't have it both ways. A person may be an unknowing cheat by participating in a relationship with someone that they believe to be single when they really are not but that situation will not go on for very long and it is not exactly the same thing as deliberate cheating. Taking advantage of a committed partner's trust is theft of the worst kind. You are not only stealing the time and money and trust of your spouse (or would be spouse) but you are doing the same thing to the person who believes you are single and available. It hurts everyone. There are no winners. (Just corrected a spelling mistake)

For YOU it might be , but who made you JUDGE AND JURY to limit the lives of others

If two consenting adults agree to something frankly its NOT YOUR Business

Hello ReaperofTime. It becomes my business if I have a relationship with a cheat who gains my consent by deception. By pretending to be single and available they steal from BOTH me AND their spouse. Truth be known they even rob them self of any chance of real happiness. Winners do not lie, liars do not win.

@will999: Then speak upon YOUR situation ONLY DO NOT attempt to insult others in general who may or may not hold your same belief system

@ReaperofTime: I stand by my time honoured belief that cheats don't win in the long run. OF COURSE the cheats won't like it but who cares about their rotten belief system when they care about no one but themselves?

@ReaperofTime: You're right. I do get a little bitter and twisted at times. My cheating wife absconded with a 'playboy' who kept her amused during the day while I was at work earning our only income. He was happy to break up our home but I made sure that he did not get our house as well. I persuaded my wife (now EX) not to force the sale of our home until the market improved. I knew that 'Romeo' would not last very long with a ball and chain around his neck which was not what he really wanted. My strategy was a weak one but it worked. I supported our two children until they both finished school and were able to support themselves. In addition I payed my EX a generous out of court settlement based on the value of a three bedroom home in Melbourne, Australia AFTER 'romeo' had taken himself out of the picture. My main point here is that I did not cheat my own family. I outsmarted a professional liar and thief. I am sure you will agree that he got what he deserved. In addition my ex wife found my dealings with her to be so fair and reasonable that she recently OFFERED TO COME BACK TO ME! I am afraid it is too late to save my personal relationship with her, but I did manage to preserve the value of our main asset. I paid her a six figure settlement IN CASH, bid her farewell and bought my own apartment, paid for with my own blood, sweat and tears. You are quite right to say that a broken heart is unattractive. It is far more sensible to have an attitude of 'easy come - easy go' with love. With money nothing beats fair and reasonable.

@ReaperofTime: Best of luck to you too. You don't sound very happy yourself.
