Lol ...to me this is like saying would you rather drink a gallon of laundry detergent or a gallon of dishwasher detergent?

Either way, cheating is the ultimate betrayal to the other person.

I agree 100%. That's why I voted for the second option. But it really doesn't matter in the end. Cheating is cheating and is unforgivable.

Pretty much; if it were someone I knew, we'd have to change our entire social circle. If it were a stranger I'd be walking around saying "is that her"

This is a tough one. Most of the men I have been with were friends for quite a while before we started dating, so I can understand how one would develop an attraction to someone who makes a regular appearance in their lives. What they do about it is another story.

I would say that it would be less lethal if he cheated with someone he just met. Someone he found attractive but had no emotional connection with. Because the longer he knows her, the more of an emotional connection he has with her. That would mean that he has been lieing to my face for quite a while. Not to say that he wasn't before, because if he dared to cheat on me in the first place, then that means that somewhere along the way the love died, or never existed. But I would still want him to not feel something for my sister or his ex, than for him to just feel horny with another woman and not love me.

I can accept a man not loving me, ok, the loves dies sometimes. We can move on. But if he develops an emotional connection for someone else while still being with me, I would be preety upset. I would feel betrayed, which I probably wouldn't feel if the woman was a stranger. .

Default bad+bad=bad

If you are both sleeping with other people behind each other's backs, why are you still a couple?
Two wrongs are just that, wrongs.
You can only be responsible for your own choices, and to accept that is actually empowering and can stop the negative competition about who is worse than who. I'd suggest you do some value clarification and live responsibly and honestly by working on yourself, instead of making someone else look worse to make yourself look better. It's far more rewarding to work on making yourself a better person, regardless of others' actions.

That's what happened to me, and it was a lot to contend with emotionally, that not one but two people who were close to you could hurt you so badly. There aren't really words to explain it.

But at the end of the day, it's wrong no matter what the scenario, and doesn't need to be quantified as better or worse than. When it happens to you, it doesn't matter how it happened to others.

It's probably easier to adjust to a one-night stand.

Neither, I'd be done with him either way.
