Is two timing your partner bad or just a sign that you are no longer in love ?

iv seen alot of people get away with two timing their partners saying they were just in the confused phase where they were no longer in love and getting over 1 relation and jumping into the next one but had yet not just broken the previous 1. Is it a good explanation? Is it justice to both the relationships?

Hi there Urvisimba! Welcome to Mylot! Cheating is just plain wrong. In my opinion, no reason can ever justify the act. I think that if you are not happy with your relationship, you should tell your partner about it so that you can do something about it, find a resolution or just end the relationship if you both think that it's not worth the effort anymore.

I do not think it is bad. It is just a sign that one is no longer in love. Love cannot be demanded. You cannot expect any love from anybody. Either love is there or it is not there. When it not there, one should respectfully say farewell to their partners. Nowadays, it is common to leave one relationship and jump into another. Some people say it is bad. But let us think about it. Is it good to stay with the relationship when you do not feel even a little bit of love? In my opinion, it is far better to be where love is, regardless of what others may say.

To cheat on someone is an extremely horrible thing to do and there is never any explanation that can justify the act. The relationship ought to be over then and there. It's a massive betrayal of trust. There are much more mature ways of dealing with the difficulties that come and go whilst people are in a relationship, such as talking. If things are really difficult yet the couple want to stay together, counselling maybe the option. As for justice to both relationships, if the original couple were to stay together I doubt there would be any where near as much trust as there was before the 'offence'. As for the 'other' person, that relationship would be strained, especially if there was some sort of connection. Way too complicated for my liking. If you are in a relationship, you are committed to that person 100% from the very beginning. Always worked for me :)

Its unethical and bad in my opinion.If someone does not love his/her partner anymore then its better to break up before getting into another relationship.Having multiple partners at one times means you are just manipulating people purposely.Some people give the excuse that they didn't realize that they were not in love with their partner so they did not break up, i cant understand this either,how can anyone for that matter not realize something like this.Its just wrong and it will remain wrong no matter how much justification is given.Best wishes.

I think that's not fair. I knew people who used to be two timer or worst, but the moment they met the right one, they became faithful. Having a relationship with others despite being committed to anybody else is a sign that a person is no longer in love.

Relationship is a complex thing. If a couple mutually fall out off a relationship then I don't think it is bad but if it is one-sided then there can be a lot of pain. Cheating, of any kind, is bad karma. It gets you, sooner or later. That's why always be honest and open in a relationship. And lastly, it all depends upon people's perception. Being in love is such a wonderful thing. We must wait for the right person and stick to that person through thick and thin.

hi urvisimba That is not a good explanation and is a bunch of silly and stupid lies thats what it is. It is not justice to either one .Do not try a new relationship until you have cooled off from the old one and be honest and fair with the other p erson when you do start a new relationship as its not fair to do it any other way,

If a person feels the need to cheat, then they do not love their partner and should end that relationship first.
