What would you do if your husband/boyfriend was an alcoholic, would this justify them cheating on you? Say they admitted to their illness and agreed to get some help and recovered, would you still leave them or blame their behavior on being ill?

No, it wouldn't justify them cheating on you! I've never been so drunk (and I've been REALLY drunk) that I didn't know who I was kissing or sleeping with. This is just an excuse and your crazy if you put up with it. If you think that he might change, then let him work through it and then try things again. I wouldn't continue to allow him to use that as an excuse. I hope this helps! Have a great day!

I don't consider that cheating. And if they ask for help, that's good for them, they'll get better somehow.

I wouldn't consider it as cheating, but if they don't get help or do and continue to drink then yea i would leave him! because i don't need our children around that, and it possibly getting any worse!

If the alchol can cause that type if problem on my realtionship I would sure enough leave. He choose to put that bottle in his mouth, so he choose to forget, that means he knew the conquences! So ye cheating is cheating!

there is really no excuse for cheating, but if they are willing to change their ways, I would probably forgive them, but they have to promise to go to counseling, and would have to be okay for me second guessing them for a while.
