Infidelity
Let me preface by saying that from the perspective of both the cheater and the cheated, infidelity is never acceptable …and there is never an excuse for it. It’s something I would never consider doing.
But what about from the perspective from the person who is the object of affection of the cheater? *The "other person," if you will* Does he have any responsibility? Think of it this way - infidelity is between the person cheating and the person being cheated. The person providing side entertainment plays no role at all. If a person wants to cheat, s/he is going to do so anyway, and if you’re in a position to be with the potential cheater, what point is it to take the “moral” high ground and turn her down? Sex, after all, is just sex. If you can provide her with emotional and sexual satisfaction, and at the same time, enjoy yourself, then is there anything really wrong about it?
Besides, there’s something almost …egotistical and exciting about it …but then again, it also seems so wrong to be a “relationship wrecker.” But at the same time, if a person is considering cheating, then the relationship is already wrecked.
Thoughts?
