Is cheating acceptable?

Tbh this whole thread is nonsense... Ofc cheating is not okay and some ppl are dicks. What's your next thread? Is it ok to kill kitties?

You say that but have you seen my reason for asking this question? I've posted the reason many times and the most resent on page 28.

A lot of people also seem to be combining poly with cheating when it isn't. I was always under the impressing that in a poly relationship all 3+ people took part (not necessarily in the sex, but they all live and interact as a family)

For those of you who think "this shouldn't be a question" I had asked it because I remembered I had a GF who openly stated she felt it was acceptable to cheat on someone if things weren't going her way (not enough sex, not enough time spent together, to many arguments ext.)and it was a big debate between us often. Bonus points if you can guess how that relationship ended lol.

I totally agree with Charles. Better to hurt someone by breaking up rather than adding the hurt of that kind of betrayal on top of it. That said, I do believe in second chances, depending on the situation. It's possible that there was something lacking in your relationship that you needed to work on at your end, but you weren't, and it drove your lover to someone else that would give them that. It's also possible that they weren't communicating that fact to you, in which case maybe you both had a problem with communication. Whatever the reason, trust is a hard thing to earn, and you have to work at it once you've betrayed someone before you can expect them to be able to fully trust you again. And if it becomes a recurring problem, prepare to be let go, because no one should ever put up with someone who thinks so little of you that they would do that. The polyamory thing is a slightly different situation. I have friends who are poly, but everyone involved with them is also poly and is 100% okay with that arrangement (imagine big bold letters here). I personally could never be okay with it for myself. It's just not in me. I am hyper-monogamous. Yeah, there are fantasies and that kind of thing, but I am satisfied with them staying in the realm of fantasy rather than letting them negatively impact my relationship with someone if I love them deeply.
