Can you cheat and still love your spouse?

Answer 1

As sad as it sounds, yes you can. I think that people typically cheat for a reason. The key is finding out the reason and ways to combat it so that the cheating doesn't happen again. But, yes you can cheat and love your spouse. Cheating doesn't always have to be a manifestation of some forbidden love. Sometimes, most often, it's just lust or a need for affection from somewhere else, in both men and women.

Answer 2

This has two answers. If you mean can you have sex with someone else and still love your spouse, then possibly. Things happen and people are week. You can diet and eat something that you should not. You are still dieting, but you have set youself back on your goal.
IF you love your spouse, then you should want to do what is right by that person. You know whether or not your actions will hurt them. If your actions with someone else will hurt your spouse and thererby damage your relationship, the cheating is not an option or a mistake that you can make. Just like hitting your spouse is not a mistake you probably want to have occur. Out side of you being raped, its not an allowable offense. Actually only your spouse can answer that question. If you are affraid to ask, then you already know the answer is probably no. If you chose a physical tryst over your relationship, knowing that your actions can end your relationship, how important can the relationship be? If it is not that important to you to save your relationship, how can you claim to love this person?
Some people look at sex as just a physical act and not a manifestation of love. You can have sex with someone and not love them. The issue here is that you worded the question as cheat and not sleep. Sleeping is an act, but cheating is a violation. By definition, you've pretty much answered your own question.
If you love your spouse, is the act and its possible repercussions worth the risk? Would you chose this other person over your spouse?

Answer 3

think when u are cheating no u don't love your spouse, but later on when things don't work out as u hoped, and u see your spouse in a different light than u can still love that person and want them again. but when your cheating your not thinking of the spouse at all.

Answer 4

That's a tough question. You see, people cheat knowing they are risking their relationship. Most people expect to be left if the other spouse found out about the cheating. So if someone is willing to risk losing their love, does that actually mean they love them. Well it's obviously not enough which is not good enough for most people. You may love that person, but it's just not enough or you wouldn't have cheated. Everyone knows there are consequences for cheating, yet they risk everything. Is that love..........not to me.

Answer 5

Yes you can. People usualy don't cheat with someone they are in love with. It most generaly isn't about love it is about the sex and the need of feeling wanted. Most of the time the cheating spouse doesn't leave their spouse. They go out have their fun and go back to their spouse and live happily ever after............I mean if the faithful spouse doesn't find out that is...........it is a gamble I wouldn't be willing to take.

Answer 6

No I really don't think you can truely love your spouse if you cheat. I believe that if one is truely In love with their spouse they wouldn't even consider cheating on them. I do believe that one might make themselves "think" they really love their spouse even while cheating, and allthough you may Care for them a lot, It's not Love or you wouldn't be out there cheating with someone else.

Answer 7

Keebler hit the nail on the head. Men just want a quick screw, probably because their spouse just doesn't do it for them in bed. Women cheat because they have an emotional void and become attached to the person they are cheating with.

Answer 8

If you really loved your spouse you would not even think about cheating on them!!

Answer 9

I think so but the real question here is would you want to cheat.. sex is the main reason people cheat and I just happend to believe that sex and love are not connected at all.. sex is sex and love is love,and there your question is answered yes is possible to cheat and still love your spouse. But here is the catch sex can kill love.

Answer 10

I believe that everyone makes mistakes and that if you cheat on ur spouse once that you could still love them,but if you constantly cheat on them that i would highly doubt you love ur spouse.
