People also need to learn how to ask for their needs and leave terrible relationships.DorcasToo wrote: ↑11 Jan 2020, 02:41 Yes. It's not okay to justify cheating but when people are unhappy in marriage it eventually happens. When there's somebody else gives you happiness and peace you lack in your marriage or relationship, you automatically lean towards them. And this is the case here.

People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.

I agree. Personally this didn't change my opinion on cheating. It felt like a lot of stereotypes were used to justify the cheating and more could have been solved by actually talking about the issueBles wrote: ↑24 Jan 2020, 05:02 As per me, cheating isn't justifiable. If there's an issue/problem, one needs to find away to solve the problem and that includes opening up to a friend with whom you can look for a solution together. Failure to finding a solution to the problems we encounter shouldn't be an excuse for cheating. Come what may cheating will never sound good to me.

Yes, maybe there were issues in the relationship, however, it is better to get out of the relationship before acting on anything. Ultimately, a decision was made to cheat. To me, that is a decision in and of itself. Sure, there may be some influences, but there are other options.
