You know that is not true. There are a lot of people on here that are a lynch mob on anybody who cheats, everything is black and white to them.

I can understand why some people cheat, man or woman.

Women tend to be more group oriented - we share with "the group", we bond, we support one another. Men often tend to speak up less often in support of their fellow men - they are more private, play their cards closer to the vest, don't like to engage in drama, so to speak.
Could be. But it's just what I see here. Hey, I've been asked to provide cover a couple of times for someone stepping out and I've said, "Dude. Don't ask me to lie for you," and I don't know many guys at all who would. But when my sister was messing around on her husband, she did it at the beach where her friends could always provide a pat alibi.

That is because the bf relationship is all about fun. He gets the fun you, not the one who has to work, to tend to a household, finances and family. Anyone will seem like a "soulmate" when all you do is have sex, and bask in the glow of it afterward. You thing with the bf isnt real life. It is a selfish fantasy.

I agree with that...BUT to me, know matter what, there is no such thing as justifiable cheating

I can understand, too. But empathizing ain't the same thing as endorsing it, you know? And saying to the person in question, "You're right. Your husband isn't giving you what you want at home" is essentially that.

Another great point

Cheating is such a hot button issue, but especially for those who have been hurt by it.

It can seem so black and white when in reality there can sometimes be lots of gray area.

Bingo. You don't have to pay bills with the lover. You don't have to raise children with the lover. You don't have to perform household chores with the lover. All you have to do is find a discreet place to renezvous and you're off to the races. Who the hell wouldn't seem more attractive under those circumstances?

Never say never

Again, black and white thinking on this issue isn't always reasonable.

ok...let me rephrase there is no justifiable reason for cheating when both people in the marriage are lucid..I mean come on that is a very peculiar situation, my comment is reserved for 'conventional' relationships.

This must have been horribly tramautic for you. You've been droning on about this for at least four years now.
