So why do you ask the question when you obviously have it all figured out in your mind as a way to justify cheating? Are you simply looking for partners in crime?

Cheating is being a coward. If you are not happy, LEAVE!

But, hey, if you're into retribution and hurting someone you've claimed to love by all means cheat.

What is the old saying, "Two wrongs don't make a right."
Divorce takes quite a while, so I can't fault someone for seeing people while they're technically "Married" still.

But I otherwise do agree. At least end the relationship and begin divorce/seperation proceedings before seeing all the people you want.

"Oh, now look at what you made me do."

"You threw me in the arms of another woman."

"How could you?"

In my opinion, choosing your actions because of the actions of someone else is ridiculous, juvenile, and irresponsible.

Just because someone else is ignoble doesn't mean you should be too. How does that make any sense?

Divorce or a breakup isn't leaving someone high and dry. You believe there is something noble about staying in a bad relationship? Ridiculous.

Every adult is responsible for themselves.

What makes cheating on someone so much more 'noble' than telling them you're going to go have sex with someone else now because you're like some kind of animal who can't control their urges, and letting them decide if they'd like to leave you 'high and dry' instead?
Is it more important to be the first one out the door, or work on your marriage?

OP seriously, you need to ask that?

I stood before my friends, family, and God at my wedding. I promised to love, honor, and cherish my husband. My word is gold, not many can say that.
Cheating on him doesn't come under love, honor, or cherishing.

Divorce if you desire or need someone else. Don't cheat, word gets around and if you end up divorcing. You'll find dating harder. Once a cheater always a cheater. A good woman doesn't want a cheater.
If you have kids, then they lose respect for you. You think you can keep this hidden? Good judgement trumped by arrogance.

Get into marriage counseling if there is an issue you think you can work out. Be honest, maybe your spouse wants out?

That's why people cheat. Because they don't have the stones to do the right thing. Cheating gives the spouse an iron clad reason to break up. It forces things forward.
Often, it's done with the intent that the other person will discover it, and do the breaking up for them. It's a weak way out.

When you have been cheated on for 8yrs by your spouse because they have a porn/sex addiction THEN you can get on a forum and spout how you think I caused him to do it.....until then you are so young and naive.
