Answer 2

Simplistic answers given to a really complicated question.

I don't like the word "cheating". It implies that you've somehow broken the rules to a game, and most people would admit, under some coercion, that relationships aren't really a game. Fun, but not a sport.

Secondly, few people actually talk enough to their significant others to the point where everyone is on the same page. What is Cheating? Oh, many people act as if everyone knows what it is, but it's an incredibly vague thing to talk about. Some people think holding hands with someone else is cheating, or flirting, or even talking to much or spending time alone with someone other than your significant other.

One persons cheating is another persons controlling jeleousy. Cheating is the word for the behavior our significant other does that makes us feel nervous and angry.

Boundries in a relationship are best discussed extensively, and I suppose you could say cheating is the bending or breaking of those boundaries. In that regard, I don't approve. However, unless those boundries have been clearly defined by as many parties as are involved, I wouldn't fault someone for stepping over the line.

After all, who would play a game if no one explained the rules?

Answer 3

Cheating is a line that should never be crossed. If someone is even having those thoughts of cheating on their partner, than they need to take a step back and try and figure out why they have these thoughts. Maybe the relationship is not going the way they thought it would and rather than having a fling, they should talk to their partner about how they feel things are going. If they want to make the relationship work, then they will work on it. But, if they feel that it is over, then they need to end it before they go out an meet someone else. Cheating can cause alot of hurt, pain, and distrust to all parties involved. It also affects any future relationships that they are going to have. Let's say Jill found out her boyfriend Mike was cheating. She left him and then started another relationship with a guy named Chris. Because of being cheated on, Jill may put Chris through the ringer and be very suspicious of all of Chris's actions as she may feel that he is cheating on her like Mike did. So, not only is Jill affected by Mike's cheating but Chris is as well. Bottom line is that if anyone is even getting the idea of cheating, they should have the respect to leave their partners before sleeping with someone else.

Answer 4

Well iv'e been cheated on, and ive cheated. In my opinion cheating is very wrong to do ... of course. but people do make mistakes in life even though there really is no excuse for doing it.
But i dont think anyone should ever judge " Once a cheater, always a cheater " Sometimes things JUST HAPPEN ... i once had a boyfriend, and then i went to my friends house & her neighbor came over and he just kissed me, and i kissed back & i just wasnt thinking at the time ... it was a terrible mistake and i should of never done it!! But cheating can blow up in your face, because you know the saying " what comes around, goes around "

Answer 5

Its not a good thing.

If you want to be with someone, be with them. If you don't, then don't. But there really shouldn't be an in between area where its OK to hurt them by cheating on them, especially as it hurts like hell to find out and for some people, takes a lot of time to get over the mistrust and inadequacy caused by it.

But end of the day, if you go back to basics and strip away different approaches to life and love, I guess the only thing that remains is that every person has to live with themselves and what they see in the mirror every day.

Answer 6

Obviously, cheating is wrong and in many cases those that are selfish enough to cheat get their just rewards. The main reason it is wrong (immoral) is simply down to the fact that if the person cheating gets an infection, he / she contaminates his / her partner. Therefore he / she cannot love his / her partner enough for him / her to risk the partners health or even life. Most STDs of today are treatable but history has seen many killers. Syphillis, Ghonorea etc. once killed many people. Today, they may not kill as many but they are still killers and cases are increasing. To top it off, HIV and AIDS are also increasing in reported cases but sadly it can take 20 years or more to die. Cheating also causes friction amongst partners and then damages relationships amongst families and friends as they take sides. Maybe one day, we might see a politician actually resign and have his wife dump him to make an example for the nation to follow. As our politicians and celebrities cheat regularly, as the norm, they are bad examples for our children to follow. On a positive note however, we expect politicians to cheat as we don't trust them anyway and half of Hollywoods celebrities have HIV etc.

Answer 8

if they cheat they deserve to be dumped. cheating is a big deal to me. not only is it heartbreaking to see the one u care about backstabbing u, it wont get u two anywhere down the road. there are a lot of faithful people out there, just have to find the right ones. if they loved u there should be absolutely no reason for them to cheat on u or even think twice about doing it.

Answer 9

Dear, I will start my answer with a request, forgive the humans for their flaws, not that it justifies anything, but it shows that all of us including you is susceptible to make a mistake.

Having said that, I will move to the “opinion” part of your question, almost all of us are opinionated and sometimes judgmental, we ALL –ok most of us- see cheating or fidelity as an unforgettable sin of a monstrosity. But then again, it is the “other” people who make mistakes, not us.

It is morally wrong, unjustifiable and is commonly practiced my almost all.

Good luck

Answer 10

Cheating is more than just fooling around! It is hurting all who is involved and some of those close to you that aren't even in the cheating scandal. I believe that if you can't stay loyal to your mate then you need to break it off with them and not fool with their emotions. Someone could actually get hurt its not a game!
