I do admit sometimes theres a good reason for people cheating on somebody.
But fact is if you trully loved your boyfriend you wouldn't of cheated on him no matter how much you wanted whatever was missing.
You sure your not just looking for a excuse to cheating so it don't seem so bad???

This thread is stupid... We could start a thread explaining that people who are serial killers aren't necessarily horrible.

This is all about someone having a guilty conscience about doing something that really, in terms of respect for other people, is despicable but this person hates the idea that they might be "judged" as a bad person, as a "slut" so wants to be convinced they're a good person.

Yes OP, people can do all kinds of things and still be convinced they're a good person. If your conscience is fine with what you've done or will do then that should be enough.


Ditto. While I wouldn't say that anyone who commits one despicable act is a despicable person (after all, someone who lies once isn't necessarily a liar), anyone who actually claims that cheating isn't morally repugnant to the nth degree needs to get their head examined. If you can't control yourself, you shouldn't be in a relationship in the first place (or on the streets for that matter). If you'd prefer someone else to your bf/gf, that's perfectly fine; but leave your bf/gf first.

There are a lot of good reasons to dump someone; there isn't a single good reason to cheat on someone.

I agree, any reasons people have for cheating are usually silly pathetic ones.

In all logic, cheating on someone is a horrible thing. You're showing no respect for the person you're cheating on and if you don't tell them, in addition to that, you're insulting their intelligence and using them. Why is this a horrible thing? Based on the way it makes someone feel when they're cheated on. You can do a million bad things and still tell yourself you're a good person. If your conscience can deal with it. Then again, many people have no conscience anyway. After all, what use is a conscience?

I never said i was a good person, i felt wretched after i cheated and i did tell my boyfriend, he understood and forgave me. All i'm trying to say is you can be in love with someone and still cheat on them, when the idea of cheating enters a persons mind, they are not often in their right mind. They could be drunk, they could have just had a row with their partner, they could be depressed, upset. You can't put all cheaters in to the same category of bitch or slut just cos they had a night where they did something wrong as long as they know what they did was wrong.
Also i'm not trying to justify what i did i know it was wrong, i know it was bad and i can't excuse it, i just wish i could stop having to read people saying that if you cheat you obviously weren't in love.
