would you try to steal someone else's partner if you really liked him? would you feel bad about it? or consider that it's not your fault that the person in the case liked you more than he liked his ex partner?

no, i wont go and steal someone's boyfriend. if a guy is easy to steal from others, most likely he will be easily stolen from you as well.

I guess you're right. that's why I wouldn't do it either. if he does that to that girl than he's most likely to do that to me too in future. he doesn't deserve my thrust so I wouldn't like to be with a guy like that. if he dumps his girl for somebody else than this says many things about him. so no thanks

True. He can leave you for someone else too. And the word "karma" comes into my mind.

What joy can we really gain by stealing a partner from someone else. What satisfaction can there be but the pain of another. It is wiser to find someone of your own that is not committed to anyone else..

Well said, friend! What joy can we possibly gain? Even though we may think that it wouldn't effect us, chances are it most certainly would. The guilt would be dormant but it would still be there, knowing that the person was once in a relationship and the other party of that relationship has been severely hurt. Also, who is to say that the person we "stole" (I use this word lightly because people can't really be stolen from others; we're not property) won't leave us for someone they deem better just as they did the first time?

it most likely that if he did that in the past than he will do it in the future also. I don't know if I would be tormented by the fact that I stole someone else's partner but I couldn't live with the fact that he might cheat on me in the future too. plus there are so many options..

It is wrong to come between two people in a relationship. I would never attempt this. Relationships are difficult as it is even without temptations from others and I would never want to be the reason that a relationship ended. There are plenty of single people in the world. Therefore I would find a person that is not attached.

... no. I actually think this is the worst of things a person can do with the exception of murder. Maybe I am too objective and scientific and maybe I am too "religious" but I could never allow myself to do that. Love is a chemical reaction in the brain. That's all it is. Once a person understands that, they can see things so much more rationally. To "steal" a person's partner would be a result of a simple chemical reaction. Not only are you self indulging, but you're causing another person pain because of your selfishness. No, this is one thing I cannot justify. Ever.

I agree with you. It is absolutely wrong and selfish to come between two people who are in a relationship.

If I liked a person, then I would go for her. I would not feel bad about it, because if she loved the other person more than me, then she wouldn't pick me. But I would not do this, if the girl I liked was with one of my friends, then I would feel bad.

No, i don't think my conscience would ever allow me to steal someone else's partner. I'm currently in a serious relationship and I wouldn't want someone stealing my man because that someone liked him. I think it would be best to fall in love or like someone who's not committed to somebody else.

you're right mj_macjas . what you don't like, don't do it to somebody else...:).I wouldn't like to be cheated either. I would feel extremly hurt so this is why I wouldn't like to be the reason why two person break-up. I would put myself in that woman's situation and I would feel extremly bad about what I did

I wouldn't feel bad at 1st place his girlfriend cannot be stolen or taken if she doesn't what to be stolen because the decision is hers and the 2nd thing while you are still in this relationship you are still free to explore or find compatible partners to spend with for the rest of your life. For me it is ok as long they are not still married.
