I am fascinated by married coupled who come out strong in support of each other after one discovered of one's infidelity. When I see this happening in my opinion I take it as a rehabilitation for that particular couple. I can't see myself being understanding this concept if both of us claiming of having a good happy relationship. Some reasons such as unavailability of Jail time, call on duty or terminal illness are maybe reasonable excuss for an affair to happen. Would like you thought on this one

Hello there. My answer is NO! Unfaithful people are one of the worst people in the world. They break hearts and hurt feelings. If they do not wish to be faithful, they should make it clear right from the start and find partners with similar thinking.

definetly agree with you but the catch word is "CHEATING". The urge of cheating is too exciting. Once you reveal is no more cheating and thats where the broken hearts and feeling comes in place.

I cannot conceive how cheating on someone would spice up a relationship. No matter what your reason, if a woman decides to have s*x with another man when he is away in Iraq, or is serving time, or is dying, she is showing that she thinks that marriage is only a means of having a warm body next to you in bed, and thereby there is no foundation. The same applies to the man, that he only married her to have a convenient s*x partner. And do not some jails have conjugal visits? Just because a man cheated on his wife, does not mean that he did not like it. You misunderstand the concept. He did not want her to cheat, nor did that woman want her husband to cheat. They loved each other so much that they were able to forgive each other's infidelities.

It depends on the couple. Actually, having multiple partners can teach us "new" and "different" things to try with our partners. But is it worth it? It depends on how strong the couple is. Perhaps they would be better off in an open marriage or an open relationship? Then they don't have to hide their affairs. It's a very personal decision.
