    I've got a low opinion of people who cheat on their partners when their relationship is understood by the offended party to be monogamous, and I'm not sure what's wrong with thinking that.

    Humans are biologically wired to shit in bushes and kill each other as well as not be lifetime-monogamous, but that seems like a flimsy platform to justify a cerebral and culpable form of hurt.

    Now, if two, three or however many people consensually agree to do whatever with whoever and however they want, that's none of my concern and best of luck to them.

    I cheated on a couple of people in my early twenties and I still to this day feel bad about it and what I did to those girls and wonder what it says about the type of person I am. I will never do it again and I expect my partner to act the same.

    Again, I'm not too sure what's wrong with thinking that and, more to the point, no one else can as equally state that I or we are wrong, because it's none of their business.

    .

    So, unless these people are intimate to you, I'm not sure you should stick your nose in or really give a fuck what they're up to.

    • Every person is different, every couple is different and love and sex are 2 different things. I agree on being loyal, tho'Maaku
    • Best of luck to you too! :)Maaku
    • Similarly, I look at the times I cheated in my early 20s and still feel bad. Can't even imagine doing it now. I have friends who "swing" and it drives me nuts.monospaced
    • I'm naturally a lying, cheating bastard. I haven't met someone yet that genuinely makes me want to be completely faithful though. I guess I'd like to, one day.

    • Hey, at least it was in your early 20s and not half way through 40 with grown up kids. Don't be too hard on yourself. You made a mistake and had fun doing it.Maaku
    • However, the only people I've met that are morally, passionately and outspokenly against cheating are the ones that obviously don't get the opportunity to.

    • @set, or have been cheated on and realized they wouldn't want to do that to another personmonospaced
    • I'm about a decade younger than most of you though so I guess I'm still going full cunt.

    • When I said people I meant men. Obviously 99% of women are against it.

    • 9/10 of my male friends do it.

    • Thanks, maaku - I don't wear it like an albatross around my neck every day, but it does tinge my thoughts on the matter.detritus
    • Great post detritus.pinkfloyd
    • Monogamy was created by the church. More manipulation away from love, affection and happiness.

    • Monogamy is a lie!!!!pango
    • I'd never be under the illusion that it's an ok thing to do though if the other person stands to get hurt. It's obviously not nice.

    • I don't have any friends, male or female, that I've known to cheat (not since high school/college). Personally, I can't think of a lower thing to do to anotherformed
    • It's about respect and trust, integrityformed
    • the integrity is between those in the relationship. whatever they decide should not be victim to opinions of those outside of it.imbecile
    • You should have a low opinion. Those who cheat are morally bankrupt. Those that disagree also have zero morals.Hayoth
    • Don't judge unless you know exactly what's going on.pango
