Do you think it's wrong to drive on the wrong side of the freeway?
It's possible, but bloody stupid.
Same goes with affairs.

One of the things that is wrong with an affair is that people don't step out of their marriage first to do that. If they did, then it wouldn't be classed as wrong, would it, cos they'd then be separated from their spouse, even if its informally.
Obviously anyone who has an affair or seriously considering having one, is already separated emotionally from their spouse. Affairs don't "just happen" its a choice people make.
Apart from religious reasons, morals, social values etc; whether an affair is wrong or right, I guess, would depend on what side of bed your lying on - wither its as the betrayed or the betrayer.
Although in general, an affair is wrong, not everyone would agree to this and several books are available that covers both pros and cons of having an affair.

Yes it is wrong, people should have morals these days, if someone wants to cheat whilst they are in a marrige they should either get a divorce or shouldnt of got married in the 1st place, but yes some people may find it hard to commite whilst in a realationship, but if you know that they are in one, then you shouldnt really go there and also some people do it when they fell that there mariage is hitting rock bottom, they fell as if though they need someone there, so if your doing it looking for something out of it, in the long run your the one whos gonna get hurt, but then im gonna have to be a little hypocritical here and say its down to the people to do what they want, your old enough to know wrong from right, so you will have to suffer the consiquences

Yes, but it happens alot. You need to sit down and think about the reasons you want an affair. If it's boredom, spice up married life! It's it's dislike, then should you really be with that person for the sake of it? Basically, it's wrong!

It happens all the time and the majority would say its not right unless they are on the other end of it. Alot of marriages aren't satifying so one or the other goes out to find something to heal them. I believe if one of the parties is out and about then it should be fine for the other party to get a taste. But then why be married. If you need an affair then just end the marriage and go on with life. To much emphasis is brought upon material items which keep marriages together but they are unhappy. Let those things go and enjoy life at its fullest with the one you really want to be with.

Yes it is very wrong to have a affair if you are married. If you didn't want to be true and faithful to her you shouldn't of married her! Think before you do something!

It is wrong to have an affair if you're married, however if you have an open marriage where each other is having an affair then I guess its OK. But then it's not called an affair, it's called SWINGING!

YES i do think it is wrong to have an affair if you are married, my ex did and we ended up getting a divorce, people can say they are very unhappy and thats why they stray, but what is wrong with talking , letting the other person know you are unhappy, trying to sort things out, with out causing so much pain, believe me it hurts when you find out my god it hurts.

By social standards, its considered WRONG! But one thing to think of is if you are going to do it, there are consequences. Those consequences can seriously impact you and your life and others lives. What is right and wrong is the question here. Its more of an integrity issue here. You make a vow and then break those vows, then your integrity and your word are no longer valid. Look, you did what you did and you cant change that, if you did in fact cheat. Its done already. But look at what it says about you and your character. I know b/c I cheated and I am now divorced. But look, it doesnt mean I am bad or wrong or a horrible person. I admit it was selfish but what it says to those around me is how I cannot honor my word in life. Again, we can beat ourselves up and hate ourselves forever but that doesnt provide my of anything. Forgive yourself is the first thing and then look as to why you did it. What was missing for you and what can you learn from it. Biggest thing is no one likes to get hurt. Be responsible for what you do and realize you choose your life. If you are unhappy then look at whats missing and see if you can put that back into your life. If not, time to analyze things.

Most definitely yes. If you have made a commitment to someone by marrying them or not, it is wrong to be unfaithful. If you are in a happy committed relationship you wouldn't want to, especially if you love your partner. Being unfaithful always has a habit of becoming known and then the partner can feel hurt and betrayed. Why would anyone want to do this to the person they say they love?

YES!!! And it doesn't matter if men or women think it's right. It's stated several times in the bible that an affair is wrong, Ten Commandments ring a bell???
