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)

2016 has a whole new definition of marriage and cheat. I had no idea. I'm old fashioned I guess.

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

@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.

Hello grandaddypurple. A killer virus is certainly something to think about but you don't need to cheat to catch one. You can catch one from an unfaithful partner. Do you remember when Naomi Wolf wrote "we have gone from the pill to the plague in just one generation"?

A little bit of a black and white view there. Kids are a great factor in stopping people leaving unhappy marriages, don't want to put the children through a divorce. Hence one or both partners look for satisfaction elsewhere while staying together for the sake of their children.

i knew of a situation where cheating was happening but it was out of fear.

good thing i know the law and got rid of that little sniveling bastard, he and his extortion are now serving a prison sentence and not just on my behalf.

can you translate that to plain english?

Hi sighmeupforthat. Well done! I've known a number of serial cheats who cared about nothing but them self, in spite of the trail of wreckage they left behind. To catch one in a legal snare is quite an accomplishment. I would love to know how you managed to pull it off without breaking the law yourself.

I am thankful your path is so black and white and I would never try to grey it for you. But nor would I judge a person who's life I don't live.
