Why is it called cheating?

Question

Cheating is when you look over someone's shoulder for a test answer, or when you take too many mulligans on the golf course. Infidelity isn't such a bad thing. who says monogamy is the best way to go anyway?

Answer 1

My guess is that you have never been cheated on. I think that Monogamy is the best way to go. You can not have your cake and eat it 2. A relationship is based on love and trust and when you cheat the trust gores right out the window fallowed by love.

Answer 2

Hmm... I hope you meant that polygamy - not infidelity - isn't such a bad thing. Not that I agree, but I can understand that some people think so. However, polygamy and infidelity are two totally different things, you see my point? Polygamy is an honest way of having several partners at the same time, even though it is indeed illegal in most countries, but infidelity (cheating) is the contrary, it is dishonest.

It's called cheating because it is something that you shouldn't do.

Answer 3

Cheating is defined as an act of deception, fraud, trickery, imposture, or imposition. Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others[1]. Cheating implies the breaking of rules. The term "cheating" is less applicable to the breaking of laws, as illegal activities are referred to by specific legal terminology such as fraud or corruption. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more for less, often used when referring to marital infidelity.

Answer 4

Society

Answer 5

Because when you are in a committed monogamous relationship you're not supposed to just go off and sleep with someone else. Don't be stupid - you know it's wrong and you already knew the answer.

Answer 6

"who says monogamy is the best way to go anyway?"

Probably your girlfriend!!!

Answer 7

That's shallow thinking. Cheating is when you deceive your partner into thinking that the relationship is exclusive.
