Is it every okay to cheat?

I don't think that there is any reason to cheat. I will never agree with cheating, it is just wrong. Period. If your cousins "mister" is not happy with his wife he needs to leave her. I don't care if they have kids together or not..kids are not a reason to stay together because those kids as all kids are very smart and they are going to be more unhappy with them staying together than they would be if they were to split up. They are able to sense the tension between the two of them and if there is yelling and fighting that is not good for them either. It would be best for the kids to have separated or divorced parents than it is too having fighting unloved parents. The kids will learn from that and grow up thinking that that is how a relationship is suppose to be. Another thing she needs to consider is if he is willing to cheat on his wife what makes her think that if her were to leave his wife and get with her that he won't cheat on her? I have a cousin that cheated on her boyfriend not to long ago and she was telling me about it and I wanted to puke...I hate people that think it can be justified. She claims that she did it because he was gone working all the time and then when he was home he would drink a lot well you know what break up with him...cheating is not the answer I don't care what the situation is...her thing was she like the money he brought home and didn't want to loose it so she cheated on him instead..it just makes me sick. Man up and leave them instead of cheating!!!

Well I would never justify cheating as a valid reason to do so. I say if you are not happy about the situation it is better to leave than live a life behind a marriage. Cheating will never be right to me. if you want to be happy then leave the marriage and live what your life desires.

it is never ever okay to cheat on anyone. No matter what. If the man is not happy then he should leave and then fight to be able to see his kids. Sounds like your cousin is like trying to convice herself it is okay.

no it is never okay if you dont want to be with that person break up

I believe cheating is wrong. No matter what the circumstances are, It's still wrong. A few of my ex's were cheats, Wished I had never trusted them. If people are unhappy in their relationships then they should tell their partners. Maybe then they can resolve the problem/s. I think majority of the time it's the males who cheat. Well from my experience that is. I think if the person has children too it's unforgiveable. Not only is their marriage or realtionship at stake their putting their children at stake too. Who wants their children to be brought up without their mother or father just because they couldn't keep their pants on. But at the same time their realtionship maybe going sour but it's still nto a reason to cheat. Im sure if you loved that person once you could find that love again.

IMO...absolutely not... If you feel the need to cheat, you just need to end your relationship first...BUT thats just my opinion =)

Cheating is never okay. cheating on a spouse is sinful. You know how damaging cheating can be because it is all about connection. Feeling emotionally distant from your partner who doesn't appreciate you makes you more vulnerable to becoming emotionally attached to an idealized "friend", especially if this friend is someone who empathizes with your stress, "speaks the same language," and is always there with a supportive ear. She makes you feel terrific. A cheating person has all the lame excuses just to cover his weaknesses.

No it is not just leave.

Hello there YounginLove, well about your question if it is okey to cheat, well the answer is a BIG NOOOOO! Even if your cousin has a terrible wife, that is not the solution or a valid reason to stay out of marriage and commit adultery. That is still a sin. They were bound in marriage, in the eyes of God and Man. They exchange vows and say I Do, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health. What your cousin needs is a good communication with his wife and the wife as well needs to be submissive to the husband. Both of them have their own fault, but this doesn't mean that they both have the rights to commit adultery or unfaithfulness to each other. If it so, then marriage will never exist and only Live ins will remain, and there will be no more sanctification in their union. Please advice your cousin to develop more communication and renew the love for his wife, else there's nothing more to say since they listened to the god of this world who just wanted them to live their separate lives, and make their kids life miserable and bitter too. This is my opinion.

if you don't love somebody it is impossible to lead a good healthy life with your partner. As you have mentioned the person here is not at all happy in his own life so please see your cousin and your cousin I think likes him. So this is what I have to say when two people love each other there is no reason why they should not be getting married on living together but the man here should come clean to his wife and family and clearly take his stand. He should contest for the custody of the child in a court of law and if he really loves this child and can take care of him I think he can get the custody. So would like to your cousin and tell her to advise the person whom she loves to take a clear stand.

Well i cant exactly say that there is or is not a reason to cheat. To me i think there is no reason, but i did make somebody else cheat with me. Bad part of my life. But i dont think it is ok, If you love somebody you dont need to be with other people, but if you dont i think the best you can do is to stop the relationship and move on, there is no point of hurting alot of peoples feelings.

Yeah for me cheating was not good at all because of you're promise and commitment for the person you marry. You have your son as the fruit of your love with each other. If you are not happy with your current life then do something to make you feel comfortable, think for your kids. Just think how much suffering they can get because you're not contented on how you live with them.

I am not the type of person to ever say it is ok to cheat, whether just in a relationship or a marriage. It is not fair to the other half of the relationship. When you commit yourself to a relationship, you have promised to be loyal and honest and faithful. If you are cheating, or helping someone cheat, then you are not being loyal, honest, or faithful. I have never cheated on any one that I have been in a relationship with, but having been cheated on, I do know the heartache it can cause. It is not worth it, in my opinion.

no it's never right to cheat. if you're not happy then its time to break up and move on. cheating out of spite or revenge is even worse because it will eventually come back and bite you.

I don't think it's okey to cheat. I am not a cheater and don't want to be a cheater because I don't want being cheated. Trust is important in a relationship and there is no point in loving a person who is a cheater. I hope I will not be cheated.

Cheating is never okay, the trust is broken and when there are kids involved its like a ripping effect. The guys wife probably treats him like crap because she knows.

Cheating is not good in any situation. If yo want tcheat then first broken off from your relationship then go for cheating anybody.

I would never agree on Cheating. If things don't work out for married couple i suggest that they go on their separate ways... Never use your "kids" as the excuse of staying together. Its a misconception that if you stay together it is good for your kids, but have you given any thought what emotional (psychological)effect is your kids getting whenever they see you fight. What would be the effect to them if they learned that their parent is cheating? I think that it would be better off that they separate and give the kids a good explanation of what had happen and what would happen to their family.
