Is Cheating Ever Acceptable?


Did it again!! Even though I tell myself I don't feel right about relationships with married men I seem to befriend them. And befriending pretty much always involves sex. As I wrote in an early blog, it seems the men on A F F in my area and close to my age are mostly married ones. I seem to end up chatting with them. We get to know each other, and realize we have a lot in common and relate well to each other...next thing you know we meet for lunch or dinner, sometimes once or twice...then because we like each other, become friends, and we both like sex...well then..the inevitable.

Yes, I am a party to adultery. As an accomplice to a cheater I do feel in someway I'm breaking some sort of girl code...don't covet someone else's man...and would hate for his family to be hurt by his, and my actions. Though isn't he the one making that choice, taking that risk, not me, the other woman?

In most circles cheating is considered very wrong, but sites like A F F cater to people in committed relationships looking for something they are not getting at home. In chatrooms we treat the married people as we do single. We enjoy blogs written by those who hide this aspect of their life from their spouse. Very seldom do the cheaters get judged here. Does this mean we condone cheating? Yet, who among us would accept being cheated on?

It was a woman I worked with. There was definitely an attraction in. She would pour her heart out to me, lamenting the sad state of her marriage. When she called me one Saturday night... I realized that things were heading in another direction.
I passed on the opportunity. She was feeling sad and probably drunk.
Anyway... about a month later her and her husband had reconciled. I don't know if they 'lasted', but I felt good that I hadn't taken advantage of her.
I probably would have regretted it. You can what I mean? 🤔

No, I can't say that cheating is right and even if you aren't the cheater, you are enabling it. Yes those men/women are going to do it anyway, but I guess if more women/men like me make it more difficult for them, maybe they'll either A. start fucking their wives/husbands and be happy about it, or B. just sack up and get a divorce already. I'm not innocent, I've cheated, and been with married men, but I learned lessons and wouldn't ever again. If you need to sleep around, you have to discuss it with your significant other and come to an agreement to be open or have a don't ask don't tell policy. IMO anyway.

Anybody can give excuses as to why they do anything. We are not all perfect in our lives and our motivations are our own. Are you a "bad person" for your side of things? Not at all. And what about the cheater? Are they "bad people"? Probably not. We are who we are and should be taken at face value. Best thing I saw recently was a quote that someone doesn't judge people by their looks, color, ethnicity etc etc, only if they are assholes or not....lol....as to your last question, would I accept being cheated on? And my answer is........I have no idea....not a cop out, but I honestly wouldn't know how I would react....probably my reaction would differ on how I found out....but that's a whole 'nuther story....
