+277 I don't care if your marriage sucks, cheating is never ok. How could either person think it's ok? Do they realize that they are screwing up the lives of those around them? It's selfish. At least get a divorce first. Some people are idiots, amirite?

Sometimes, it's not that simple.

Well, I'm in such a relationship and sometimes, it's not quite as simple as "get a divorce". I'm sorry that your father hurt you and the rest of your family by cheating, but don't compare your situation to every similar situation.

I understand every situation is different but I still don't think cheating is ok

And I get that, but I'm just saying, it's not always as easy as simply get a divorce.

Yeah I'm not saying it's always the answer, but if you are lleaving your spouse, at least get a divorce before you start seeing someone. That's just why I'm mad. I'm not saying it can't be worked out tho...

It's not cool. I don't understand either. If it's sex you want (which is why a lot of people cheat, because their partner isn't putting out or they just don't feel it anymore or their partner is aging and not looking as good as they used to), they should just ask for it if it will save their marriage. If it's a no, put in some effort to set the mood. People who cheat, especially those who have kids annoy me to no end. Don't like your marriage but stay in it for the kids and cheat? Just wait until your kids are gone and get a divorce, simple.

I agree. And it pisses me off when they don't even put any effort in trying to fix their problems and instead sneak off to someone else. It's selfish and pathetic. Especially when they are bad at hiding it.

Maybe it's becaus the life they lead becomes too stagnant and routine and they want some quick, especially temporary feeling and experience?

I think most cheating stems from dissatisfaction. (Sexually, emotionally, or physically.) People don't always communicate or listen properly, and problems arise from that. But strange as it may seem, sometimes when a partner goes astray it can force both parties to address the problem head on and can make the relationship stronger. Not always, mind you, but you can't condemn everyone who cheated as every relationship is different.

Thats generally true, but I don't agree with the never. There can always be special circumstances; for instance if one party were blackmailing the other into staying married, then I would say cheating would be justified.
