what makes cheating wrong?

Answer 1

Because you "love" two people and eventually you will have to break up with one of them and break their heart.

Answer 2

Betraying any trust is wrong, and the greater the trust, the greater the wrong. Trust takes a long time to build but can be broken in an instant, and once broken it can never be made whole. You agree to the rules when you sit down to play cards; cheating is a betrayal of the expectation, the trust, of the other players. When you marry, you make a solemn promise of exclusivity; if you cheat, you're betraying the trust invested in you by spouse, children, and society in general.

Of course, this assumes that you have some idea of right and wrong to begin with; the larger question of what makes anything wrong we'll just have to leave aside for the moment. It can take weeks to answer that one.

Answer 3

because it breaks the bond of trust. not to mention the traditional wedding vows. some would even say its wrong in the eyes of God. Look: if you tell someone that you love them you have already made a pact with that person regardless of marital status.saying you love someone in the romantic sense means you have moved beyond the friendship level obviously.But it also means that you have exposed yourself emotionally, saying I love you lowers your defenses. It means you have now placed a trust in the object of your attention. Your emotional fate (so to speak) now rests with the other person.If the other says I love you too (or words to that effect) then a bond is automatically formed. Of course this doesnt mean it will last forever but a bond IS formed, and both parties have to do their part to keep the bond intact for as long as possible, be it 6 months or 60 years. Trust is the foundation for this bond-not sex or money or beauty. when one cheats he or she has decided that the bond isnt worth being faithful. And so little by little the bond breaks until it ends in tears or divorce (or sometimes even violence).Basically when one cheats on a spouse or significan other one is simply telling the other "hey I am a liar".

Answer 4

well cheating in general like at a game how is that right? You win by moving stuff around and cheating!

as for relationships it's wrong because your suppose to be in love with that person. if you truely love them you wouldn't have the desire to be with anyone else so why walk around having people in your life when you know you don't really love them!

however some people have that sence that they need to have someone in their life to feel filled up with life. there for if you are that type of person and you meet that type of person an open relationship is very common and in those types it's not called cheating unless there are emotions involved!

I see nothing but drama when i see this word cheatting!
it's a waste of time if you want to screw the block then stay single..
if you want more the one partner stay single
that way you don't get titled a cheater!

frankly it hurts other people as well if you were cheated on and found out who it was with and all that drama with someone you LOVE. wouldn't you be hurt!
most people are .. maybe not you perosnally but then again i don't know you but most people get hurt and ifyou do something to hurt someone else that is WRONG! not right !

then again other culturers are raised differently and it's fine! but guess where i live
usa!

Answer 5

Cheating is wrong because the term cheating generally implies that you are in a committed relationship between two people. If you are in a committed relationship, you are supposed to be committeds to only that one other person, therefore, only be intimate with that person. This requires both people to want this. If you do not want to be in a committed relationship you shouldn't be, for the risk of hurting the other person.

Answer 6

Cheating is wrong, because of the fact that you will HURT your other half. When they get hurt, you will leave a scar in their hearts, you made them have nightmares of getting cheated again. When you cheat on them, it hurts them to see you and another person cuddling and kissing. It hurts because you will have totally shattered your partner's trust in you. Worst of all, you let them down. Cheating is that damn wrong, because while the cheater is enjoying his/her life, the other half is out that suffering. Cheating is wrong, because after all you have done for him/her, all you get back is, being cheated. That's why cheating hurts. And it sucks.

Answer 7

It keeps the cheater stupid?

It fakes the others into thinking I have brains?

It makes people ask you questions you have to tell them I'll get back with you on that I'm in a hurry now

It makes you sorry you first cheated because once a cheater always a cheater is the saying

Answer 8

Cheating is wrong period and if both parties knew about it it wouldn't be called cheating....it would be called an open relationship. If you think about cheating, you must not be happy in your current relationship.

Answer 9

Seriously? Would it not break your heart if you cared for someone and thought they felt the same about you only to discover they've been with someone else behind your back? That's why it's wrong. If you don't want to be with someone fully then that's fine but have enough respect to tell them and let them move on. It's wrong to play with peoples emotions.

Answer 10

Cheating means that you are tricking someone.
You are getting more than you give.
It is about fairness, honesty and respect for others.
If both people know about it, and are ok with it, it is not cheating.
In most cases, if one person is cheating, he is lying to cover his tracks, avoiding confrontation, treating someone unfairly,
and being disrespectful of another's committment.
All things that lead to being alone and untrusted. And to hurting people you profess to love.

Answer 11

It goes to the basis of morality. Is anything right or wrong? It could be wrong because it normally is the deception or betrayal of what someone you care about.
