Cheating? Good or Bad?

I’ve wondered something for a good time now and it’s the following: when is cheating justified?

I asked Liz about this and she agreed with me. I believe that if you’re in a relationship but someone new comes along, it isn’t cheating. It isn’t cheating if your feelings for the new person far surpasses the feelings you have for the person you are with. It’s especially true if you wind up marrying that person you were seeing. In the grand scheme of things it isn’t cheating, but shortly after the breakup, it would be considered cheating. What do you guys think?

Well I was cheated on, I think it’s unforgivable. If you don’t want to be with someone anymore, be a man about it and break-up with them. Date whomever you want, but I think it’s wise to resolve one relationship before starting another. That’s just my opinion.

Interesting thoughts I see, I think if you’re in a relationship and someone better comes your way, end or take a break from the other. Also, you said shortly after the break up, it is cheating, I’ve always thought if one’s over, let the fun begin ya know! And, since everyone’s thoughts here will vary greatly, always ask yourself “How would you feel?” Good luck. 🙂

Ryn: Imma gonna address the NW one first. I’m not sure who would use those kind of pick up lines. Probably someone who things they really need to. Now the YA note. Thanks! I thought bringing David in as Adams brother would make things alot more interesting. *lol* you know me always looking for new ways to surprise my readers. Well gotta go. Byes! Lizzie

I’ve been cheated on a number of times and cheated a number of times. It becomes addicting. But I don’t consider it right in any situation, unless it is clear to everyone and everyone is informed of the others. Which isn’t cheating… it’s seeing more than one person at a time.

i have also been cheated on and in this situation it isnt cheating at all its very hurtful when you found out the one who is suppose to just be with you and just love you that they are with other people at the sametime but i agree with you on this Jocelyn

it’s only cheating if both of you have agreed to be exclusive. It also only counts as cheating if you screw around with them – just hanging out or whatever means nothing really. 🙂

I don’t agree with any of what you’ve just said. To move on to another person just because you think they are ‘better’, well, that’s just plain horrible. Cheating is never justified, being cheated on hurts like hell, I should know. I really can’t believe what you’ve just written Joe.

I find that I can’t really agree, either. If you don’t want to be with someone, just break up with them before you start something with someone else. It’s a lot simpler that way, and it shows that you have respect for that person. RYN: How can you not know who Kelly Clarkson is? *_* J/K…I’m just kinda obsessive, I know. ^_~

when it involves not being honest; its cheating its cheating yourself as well as those others of the chance of happiness because of some need to screw around..I feel if you want someone new you should get someone new but you need to resolve the relationship/s you have beforehand or people will get hurt I dont like to hurt people like they’ve hurt me
