I'm not exactly sure how to say I feel about this, because while I myself don't support cheating I don't believe I (or anyone else) can make a definite statement on how all of society should see it. We all know how most of society sees it, but seeing as how I'm not in absolute support of a lot of the concepts invented by human society (which I feel includes morals). That being said, I do think that betraying or lying to someone you love is wrong no matter what, in which case cheating can never be right.
I never feel like it's acceptable. I'm not going to elaborate on this too much, because I feel like its a fairly straightforward violation; If you really respect and love who you're with, I don't feel like you'll wonder whether or not it's ok. If you don't love/respect who you're with, get out, go get some ass, and then it won't be cheating.. :)
...but never when you're with someone
I've never cheated in a relationship, but I have been "the other woman."
I think relationships in college are definitely different than high school. There's more long distance relationships, and those can be hard. One of my roommates went through a breakup early on in the school year.
Anyone heard of/seen Dave Coleman, The Dating Doctor? He came to my college during orientation week and gave a really interesting presentation.
I've been cheated on twice. It hurt so much. You lose the trust you had on the other individual, and without trust, there is no relationship. I'd never cheat on my boyfriend, simply because I know how it feels, and can't inflict that pain upon others. So no, cheating is never ok.. unless you are stuck with a spouse who won't give you divorce.
To me, asking if cheating is okay is like asking if it's okay to steal...
I think cheating is horrible... I kissed another guy when I had a boyfriend ONCE, and I felt so god damn guilty that I broke up with my boyfriend the next day. We eventually got back together and got past it, since it was a drunken mistake...
Almost all of my best friends have cheated on a significant other, but usually it was kissing and not sex...
But people have varying degrees of feeling guilty, because they can say "oh, we only kissed... or oh, but Ididn't sleep with him, it was just a little fondling."
My friends and I have always been a kissing bunch... my girls and I kiss on the lips sometimes as a greeting or goodbye... it's not a big deal... but I also do this with my gay guy friends... some guys consider that cheating, despite the fact that kissing my gay guys is like kissing my girls...
for me (because this happened once), it depends on the timing, and whether or not you feel remorse afterwards. Also, its the strength of the relationship that you're already in. I think that makes a big difference. I cheated once, but it wasn't on purpose. When things like that happen, there really isn't a lot one can do (if you want) to stop it. I felt really guilty afterwards. But it wasn't anything big, just a quick make-out session....idk, am I horrible?
Its just ridiculously selfish. If you are willing to cheat on them, then why are you with them? Staying with someone who cares about you when you obviously don't care about them is pathetic and cruel - every relationship involves lots of sacrifices, and to string someone along like that demonstrates of lack of concern about anyone but yourself.
Just break up with them, and then you can sleep with whoever you want.
Other than that, it's pretty horrible. It's the height of dishonesty and is almost always an indicator of future episodes of cheating. People who cheat are disgusting people who need to think before they act.
