Are people who cheat on their partners bad people?

I beleive so and there are two main reasons why I think a person who cheats is a bad person:
1) If you care about someone, you would never do something to hurt them emotionally or cause trouble in the relationship.
2) There are a lot of diseases out there and some of them are very dangerous, especailly to women. If someone deliberately goes out and cheats, they are putting their partner at risk for health problems and potentially an early death depending on the disease. This is the ultimate betrayal in my mind....anyone who would compromise the health and wellness the person they are with is the worse kind of person.
In my opinion, if someone wants to cheat or wants multiple partners, than they should be single and they should pursue people who are like them and want the same thing. Also, if there are problems in a relationship or marriage, cheating is not the way to go. You should either break up with the person before you cheat or talk to the person and fix the problems.
What is your opinion? Are people who cheat bad people?

I think a person who cheats on their spouse is of poor moral character, period. I cannot think of a good excuse to cheat on a partner.. not at all. A cheater is no better than a thief or a liar... they disrespect their spouse and their marriage or partner.

I agree with you. A person who cheats is self-centered, lacks self-control and/or just doesn't care about anyone but themselves and their own needs. Furthermore, they have no sense of honor or duty, two attributes that are very important in a serious relationship. They cheat because they want their cake and eat it, too, but in matters of the heart you can't have both. That also applies to "open" relationships--if you don't want to be faithful to one person, it is not a committed relationship.
