Is Cheating ever justified?

I'd never cheated before and even not thinking about it in the future. I am committed now to my husband and very much happy with him and feel contented too, so nothing to look for.. And beside I hate cheaters so much.

NO cheating does not justified. And it all does is hurt people. I was cheated on many years ago and it was so very paiful. After he cheated on me I left and never saw him again. Cheaters are no good not to be trusted.

Long ago I was both cheated on and was a cheater and you are very right, there is NO justification for it...its wrong, plain and simple..IMO though, marriage and vows have nothing to do with it....first off for example when I did it, I was NOT married and secondly even for those who are, not everyone has the same vows to as far as I'm concerned neither of those things are a part of the picture if we're talkin generalized..... that being said though, cheating is WRONG.....there is NEVER any reason for it..if you arent happy where you are at/who you are with then split up...its as simple as that..

I have cheated and I have been cheated on. It is never justified. I had personal problems that caused me to do what I did against the person I cheated on, it had nothing to do with him. I have been cheated on, and it has nothing to do with me, it was the other person who had the issues. Your right, divorcing is better than going against your vows and being deceptive, but utmost and most important is having the courage to work through your problems as a couple with honesty and communication. That takes much more courage and self love. I have worked through my problems and I will never cheat again and I hope to never be cheated on again. That is a committment my husband and I have made to each other.

No, cheating is not justified as it will damage the foundation. Trust is the foundation, so no, cheating is totally unjustified. Only if one of the two will risk his physical health while confessing it (think of agressive partner here) than I can imagine that it could be justified. Not otherwise though.

no i also never cheated to others no the cheating is justified by the god and that will be the responsible for it and it will be the reason may be thats easier said than done if ur cheated , then u dont fell good so i also not feel good

No, cheating can't be ever justified. I believe a cheater is always a cheater. Better to get rid of the person. As you say, yes its difficult to get divorce, but cheating can't go on for ever.

When I was younger I used to justify my cheating on exams but as I grew older I understood that thers no point finding excuses and justifying it. What I did is that as much as possible I should not cheat.

I believed that cheating can never be justified. No amount of justification or explanation can exculpate you of your actions. :)

anyway you put it cheating is wrong and cannot be justified. one may cheat and get away with it for the moment but in the long run it will catch up on you and the effect might be be worst. honesty is best policy.

No, I think cheating is never ever justified. I did cheated but it did'nt feel good, we can get away with it sometimes but it our action still is never justified. There is no good reason for doing it, its just making excuses for something that have been done wrong. :-)

No I don't think cheating is ever justified. You should have enough respect for that other person to tell them that you found somebody else, or you're bored, or whatever the reason may be. That way the person can decide whether or not they want to stay and be cheated on or move along. It sucks finding out you've been cheated on and I hate for it to happen to me, so i try not to bring those bad karmas aruond me and hope for the best.

cheating will always be cheating, no justification to that. But to some that had been cheating to the vow of their marriage says its just a fling and nothing more than that. Nothing serious! Just like what my grandfather and father said just to justify their wrong doing. They are guy and handsome and girls lay their cards so its not their fault and according to them nothing will be lose at them because they are guy. But to me it's unfair enough of a reason. it' gender discremination. Just because they are boys gives them enough reason to cheat! I just pity my mother and my grandmother. My grandfather got just lucky to have a wife as martyr as my grandma who is willing to sacrifice just to make their marriage last.

Cheating is never justified period. i really can't elaborate becuz well it's just wrong! you break up, divorce, whatever, if you wanna be with someone else. and cheating to get back at someone who cheated on you is just stupid and immature. Cheating in general is immature in my opinion. you've hit a sore subject can ya tell? lol

i dont think cheating can be justified.. whatever the issue were or whatever situation it gives..im not talking of just married couple here...im thinking of all actions or behavior towards others..

I agree with you completely ! I have never understood why someone would cheat as you often hear that the excuse that it didn't mean anything so if it didn't mean anything and you know it is going to hurt the person you are with why would you do something that won't mean anything to you . If the reason is because you were hurt in this way , would one not remember the pain it caused them and why would you ever want to cause this much pain to someone else , is one really that vindictive that they feel that it is justified . If you don't love the person anymore then why cheat , even if you don't want to go through the divroce right away , one always has the option to walk away from the relaionship , ending ties before cheating . I have went over this many times in my mind and tried to figure out why anyone would ever do this and have never come up with any reason for why anyone would want to hurt another so bad that they would disrespect themselves , their spouse , their children and their families by causing so much pain that is felt by other family members and sometimes causing so much pain that can never be forgiven resulting in a hurt that could take years to overcome . I was one of these people that felt the pain of being cheated on and would never do this for any reason at all and have often wondered if I did something wrong , if I hurt the person I was with that much that they would feel that somehow they had to hurt me this much and if so , what did I do and could I have done something differently and have never got an answer for any of these questions even though they have been asked many times . There is never a good reason to cheat on someone , if one feels they have to leave then this is what they should do and if one feels they are bored then they should talk to their spouse and change things in the relationship or whatever the reason they give as an excuse . The pain of being cheated on affects so many because not only is it the one you are cheating on but all those that are stuck with the decision about weather or not they should tell what they know and the pain it causes to children of the relaionship , it splits families with those that love both and don't want to see either hurt and don't want to end a relationship with either because of something they didn't want to be a part of . Cheating is selfish , plain and simple !!

For me, it is never justified. There are a lot of excuses but never a reason for cheating, wheather or not your partner has wronged you. Fedility is one of the ultimate expression of love.

i don't really think you can justify cheating, cause once you cheat you can't undo what you already did, and it causes you to break the hard-earned trust of the one you love. cheating is being unfaithful and once you are not faithful, you don't deserve to be trusted. Me and my husband already discussed this matter and we really don't agree about cheating and we both know that it's unjustifiable so we said to each other that if any of us cheat then the relationship is totally done and ruined. like if he ever cheat on me, i won't trust him anymore and that's the end of our relationship. no second chances with cheating cause it's not just a simple small mistake that you can correct like misunderstandings. I am just so glad i found somebody who is really faithful to me and i to him. i told my husband i will never cheat on him because he's the only man i love and i don't want to ever marry somebody again and i am not into divorce. we both agree and he said the same thing to me so i am really happy with our relationship now cause we both communicate and understand each other and we are honest about it. Have a nice day!

Never been married or in a relationship, but cheating is not justified in my opinion. Just leave them if you aren't interested. I'm not much for the 'open relationship' sort of thing either. It would work if humans weren't...human and got jealous. But they do.

Cheating is Never justified. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and although it may be convenient to blame one's wrong doings on someone else, at the end of the day, that individual has to live with the consequences. The grass is not always greener on the other side and sometimes it worse. Most people have to learn this the hard way.
