Wow such an emotive subject! Having just read another thread, I chose not to comment, not because I didn't have an opinion, but because so many others had already said what I would have said! Which was talk to your partner!
So many people wade in and say its wrong wrong, don't agree etc, but how many have experience of it from both sides.
I was with my hubby for 19 loyal years before I had an affair, I always had the opinion cheating is wrong. - never understood the people who said to me, I didn't go looking, it just happened! Until it happened to me. I am not going to go into what was wrong with my marriage or how it got to the point where it happened to me as no one knows what goes on behind closed doors and should not judge others until they have walked in their shoes.
I don't condone serial cheating, if something isn't working then you should walk away.
I look back and yes of course I regret some of my actions. But I also have an understanding of how sometimes you can be so unhappy for so long, but for one reason or another you can't talk to your partner!
What I have learnt is never judge until you know all the facts, its ok to have an opinion, but remember base your opinions on experience.
Oh and I have also been cheated on, I know this subject from both sides of the coin. |

It's always going to be an emotive subject and unfortunately one most people seem to have experience one way or the other.
I have been on the receiving end and it was not nice.
I have been the other woman for about 9 months, I hated myself but didn't feel strong enough to stop it, was very deluded about the situation and let myself be used.
I have also spent a night with a guy behind my ex-s back, I want to point out we didn't actually have full sex, but in a way it's irrelevant- the breach of trust is the key thing for me.
I agree you can't judge others but personally I wouldn't do any of the above again. If something wasn't working in my relationship I'd try and solve that first, or end it. Having spent a good few years single I'm now happy enough in myself to be single, there's a lot of fun to be had 
Life is too short to be unhappy, just my 6ps worth x |

Cheating is wrong, pure and simple. You can qualify and justify all you want, it's just self delusion.
If you don't want that person and want someone else, man up and tell them.

I think you have missed the point I am making. I am not qualifying or justifying anything! Just wondering if other peoples opinions they make on the subject come from personal experience or not? |

I cheated on every relationship I was in but one.. Just couldn't have just one person. Never felt guilty.. as I had always said I couldn't commit to one person..
the one I didn't cheat in I had others but all up front.. |

Cool thread.
I'm not going to go into depth but I agree with you.
Another misconception is that you do not love a person who you have cheated on. I'm my opinion, that is very wrong.
It is possible to love a person you have cheated on. |

Agree with many of you about not judging and generalising. Reminds me of something my dad once told me. Great advice. ...
"Never speak ill of a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes. ....then say wtf you like as loudly as you want to. They're a mile away and have no shoes!!"

It's also worth mentioning, the disparity between men & women on a site like this - men are the lowest form of life on here and if they're attached and playing around, it's deemed to be unacceptable, but if a woman on here is doing the same thing, it seems to be OK.
Equality is off the menu on here.
Cheating is clearly not good, and the Internet has made is much easier for people to do it.
Being in an open relationship however... |

Ask them to change and they can't ! Won't ! .... So its cause and affect!! ... I know my hubby would rather I was still here ! Under whatever circumstances !! But I also know he would not want to know and rather live in denial ! Its not cut and dry !! And looking at it from the other side ... If I could not give him what he wanted then I would be pleased he found it somewhere else ! But I would not want to know the details ! |

Those who see the world in black and white fail to understand that motivation of behaviour is not always as simple as they'd like. Sadly most of the "strong" opinions are from people who like yes no right wrong scenarios. |

I was a cheat and not proud of it, and still regret it to this day for hurting my ex-hubby.
I do not have any issues with how people live their own lives, as long as they do not try and justify their actions to me, or to seek sympathy or compassion, etc...
They are adults and can make their own decisions, knowing whether it is right or wrong.
They have to look at themselves in the mirror, not me.
What narks me the most is that, it is always the fault(s) of their other halves, and they are the victims, la di da.
Face up to your own responsibilities in the breakup of a relationship, as it really does take 2 to Tango!

I once had an affair with a married woman, who ended up leaving her then husband, and eventually married me.
It was a lot of fun being the person not on the cheating side, but you do end up shouldering some of the responsibility that goes with a marriage break-up even if you're the single-party.
I swore I would never do it again (now divorced btw) as either the single or attached person, because it doesn't do anyone any good, no matter what the situation. |

I disagree! My gf knows what I do, but the more honest I am, the more it hurts her and the more unloving it seems to be. She prefers me to just get on with it in the hope that ill stop on my own I think. 
That does make me feel bad sometimes though. |

The main reason I no longer play with anyone I do not already know at clubs is that it is very difficult to ascertain if a gent is truly unattached in a short space of time.
I don't care if they attend clubs and play away without their other halves' knowledge or approval, however, I do not wish to get involved and be part of their lies.

You do know for sure, her reactions are telling you it upsets her...your choice as I say but if I was her and you carried on doing something that was hurting me I'd walk and not look back |

Her reactions don't tell me anything though, I'm just confused by her reactions. I can only guess what she's thinking and why because it seems that she isn't mature enough to talk to me about it.
But she wont leave me. We love eachother very much. I'd understand if she did want to.
I don't know, its difficult. there's more to it. Both of us have had very closed minded upbringings and for me, for some reason, I find it difficult to stop this!

My husband never cheated on me, and I never cheated on him. When our son died we grieved apart instead of talking and sharing together. WE broke up our marriage so I don't have any issues.
I have no qualms playing with married men my play criteria excludes them...and that suits me just fine and dandy! |

Oh my god. You really genuinely believe that because you've told her it's OK?
You've told her, you KNOW it's hurting her and you still do it? Selfish doesn't even begin to describe this situation.
What a catch she has there!
Having said that, she has to take some responsibility for being walked all over.

No, I don't think its ok. I don't even know why I do it. I just get very lusty and I just do it.

Do you not think her going weird is a signal that you are in fact hurting her?
If she was ok with it then she wouldn't have a problem talking to you about it |

Very very true, I put on a forum how to get a girl into swinging, its a fuck buddy but she knows nothing about all of this. I had people kicking off at me practically.

No, people go weird for many different reasons. Men go weird sometimes, it doesn't mean that they are hurt. It could be that they have a problem with what you've said or maybe they have a hangup about something.
Lol, I obviously do have control over it to an extent. |

You keep believing that and justifying it to yourself and it will all be fine. You clearly know much more about how women show their displeasure than us women do. |

Look!
Believe/justify what?
I haven't claimed to know more about how women feel/think or whatever. I've been honest here, and I've answered from the heart. The things I've said here are true and accurate. I've not been extreme here.
I cannot read feelings accurately without people saying/explaining. Why should i be able to?
If somebody can talk about it, ill comprehend, if someone doesn't tell me, Ill likely not know what they're thinking.
I honestly am not being funny. I'm being honest here. There's actually more to it also, there are reasons why people do the things they do.
I'm not saying that what I do is correct, but I do it and I'm actually struggling to understand this myself. |

"Wow such an emotive subject! Having just read another thread, I chose not to comment, not because I didn't have an opinion, but because so many others had already said what I would have said! Which was talk to your partner!
So many people wade in and say its wrong wrong, don't agree etc, but how many have experience of it from both sides.
I was with my hubby for 19 loyal years before I had an affair, I always had the opinion cheating is wrong. - never understood the people who said to me, I didn't go looking, it just happened! Until it happened to me. I am not going to go into what was wrong with my marriage or how it got to the point where it happened to me as no one knows what goes on behind closed doors and should not judge others until they have walked in their shoes.
I don't condone serial cheating, if something isn't working then you should walk away.
I look back and yes of course I regret some of my actions. But I also have an understanding of how sometimes you can be so unhappy for so long, but for one reason or another you can't talk to your partner!
What I have learnt is never judge until you know all the facts, its ok to have an opinion, but remember base your opinions on experience.
Oh and I have also been cheated on, I know this subject from both sides of the coin. "

I take the view that being a swinger is perfect for me as I can be honest with everyone I sleep with, but it doesn't mean I can make sure that they are honest with me.
If they have a partner they don't tell me about then the guilt is on them, but if I do find out I do voice my opinion to that person. The only time I would take action though is if their actions lead the angry partner to my front door where I take the best course of action to protect myself. I have been on all sides of the fence and just consider keeping myself out of it. |

Wow I go to tesco's and people and their strong opinions wade in again and change what the topic is about! Thankyou hun for your honest contribution. Please don't feel like you have to justify yourself to anyone on this thread. Only you here knows what is going on behind the scenes. It would be really cool if we could keep to topic. It seems most people here have personal experience in one way or the other about cheating and thank you to everyone who is contributing, but please let's try and keep this to a mature discussion with no one feeling like they are being attacked! |

"Cheating is wrong, pure and simple. You can qualify and justify all you want, it's just self delusion.
If you don't want that person and want someone else, man up and tell them.
"
not always that easy, what about women who are in abusive relationships? they maybe looking for someone else as a way out, its ok saying man up and tell them but what if maning up gets you a beating?
I stayed with my ex for years because of my kids, everytime I tried to leave him they would cry, I packed and unpacked my bags so many times because I couldn't drag them out the house crying for their daddy, so because I ddnt want to take them away from their dad I put down what I wanted for them, because that's what we do as parents. it wasn't till they was only we split up
A relationship break up isn't about two people its a whole family
Walking away from a relationship isn't always that easy, if only life was all clouds and butterflies like some seem to think it is |

"Cool thread.
I'm not going to go into depth but I agree with you.
Another misconception is that you do not love a person who you have cheated on. I'm my opinion, that is very wrong.
It is possible to love a person you have cheated on.
Love = honesty
I disagree! My gf knows what I do, but the more honest I am, the more it hurts
her and the more unloving it seems to be. She prefers me to just get on with it
in the hope that ill stop on my own I
think.
That does make me feel bad sometimes though.
Your relationship, your call. But your use of the words "I think" in connection with how she feels say a lot.
The reason why I say 'I think' is because its not easy to talk to her about it. She will not open up about the
subject and whenever I try to talk about
it, she goes weird.
Is love to talk about it with her but she won't. She just says, 'I don't want to talk about it', or 'don't tell me'.
What other option have I got when I
don't know for sure? 'I think' is as good
as it gets unfortunately!
Oh my god. You really genuinely believe that because you've told her it's
OK?
You've told her, you KNOW it's hurting her and you still do it? Selfish doesn't even begin to describe this situation.
What a catch she has there!
Having said that, she has to take some
responsibility for being walked all over.
*Her*
No, I don't think its ok. I don't even
know why I do it. I just get very lusty
and I just do it.
I don't know that it hurts her? I know that she goes weird when I try to talk to her about it.
You don't know why you do it? You poor thing helpless and unable to control yourself it must be awful. "

some personal.. some not....
I saw what it did to my mum when she was cheated on by my dad...
if you don't think children pick up on things like this.... they certainly do!!!
I have seen what cheating has done to friends that have been on the receiving end... devastating....
I have had it done to me... the last thing I said to her when she wanted me to take her back was:
"you certainly weren't thinking of me when you were bouncing up and down on his cock!"
people think they are "bulletproof"... justify it by saying...
"they are not like me because..."
"oh but i am different because..."
if the sex is really worth the risk... it doesn't say much about the state of the relationships in my opinion...

I think it is possible to love someone you have cheated on. I haven't personally been in this situation but know others who have and one of them has had an affair for whatever reason, the affair has been found out and it has made them re-examine their relationship, acknowledge the part they both played in the affair and their relationship has been stronger afterwards and both have realised how much they actually love each other. Lack of communication is usually at the base of it. |

Exactly !! Its her choice !!
She could leave !
But she would rather have things the way they are than not at all !!
I'm in the same boat ! I could hurt my hubby and leave him ! Or make him talk to me about his short falls and that would also hurt him .... Because I have told him how I'm not happy and need more ! And he won't \ can't change !! So in my eyes that's his choice ! And because of that choice I'm supposed to be unhappy!!? Or discreetly find pleasure somewhere else !! |

I am labelled on here as a cheat but I still love my wife, to whom I have been married for 40 years. I have no intention of entering into the why's and wherefore's on a public thread like this but there is always a fundamental reason that may well differ from peoples' preconceptions or prejudices. |

and there you have it in a nutshell, discretion. I've said it before I don't give a twopenny damn what people get up to until they start justifying themselves, asking others to back them up and trying to get me involved. If you're going to do it, get on with it and pay your partner the respect of keeping quiet. |

I agree with the lack of communication.The fact that it only came out once the offender (lack of a better word, apologies!) was caught shows that the other person's feelings were not taken into account until it became an issue. It's seems we're drawing a fine line between unhappiness and being lustful. |

I am truly sorry for what you have been through. You say he was bullying and controlling. I think if it had been me I would be quite glad he had gone. As much as he has caused you excruciating pain, but maybe you have had a lucky escape x |

all because you love your partner does not mean you want to have sex with them
One example and im using this from personal experience
When I got married I was a size 10, over the years and with each child I had I gained weight, over the 16 years I was with my ex I had had 3 kids and gone upto a size 18, and have a saggy belly that's covered in stretch marks tho he still loved me he no longer found me attractive, he'd tell me that regular, so he sought sex else where as he didn't want it with me
Which is what I ment by you can love someone but not be in love with them, so seek intimacy else where
sex and love don't always go hand in hand you can love someone and not want sex with them and no love someone have sex with |

I've not read all the posts in this thread and I've not commented on other married / cheating threads either as everything I wanted to say had already been said by others.
This thread is slightly different so to answer the OP, Yes I can speak from experience on both sides. I've been cheated on and I've also had an affair with a married man. Wrong I know but it happened.
However, I didn't join a swinging site purposefully looking to cheat and I certainly wouldn't want to boast about it in an open Forum! I just can't work out why anyone would do such a thing  There is such a thing as self respect and discretion! |

Thank you for sharing, we all have our own experiences that shape us and how we see things! Even though I have cheated myself, I don't agree with it, and if I could go back with the knowledge I have now I would go back and change things. Although I don't believe I would change it to still be with him as our relationship was very dead and had been for a long time before I cheated. I knew I didn't love him anymore if I had I would never have cheated! We live and learn! |

Me too. In fact, since we both retired, it feels a bit like our old dating days as we are getting on better than when we both still worked. But the sexual side is absent and I so wanted to experience the joy of being desired sexually. |

I can relate to this: if someone has married on their profile it doesn't "bother" me, but threads bragging about cheating because their partner is dull and they're bored and want to try new things annoy me.
Especially when you look at the profile and you see as I did earlier pics of a married man, displaying the cream pies he'd left behind in the pussies of various women, one of whom indulges in bare back gangbangs.
Poor wife! |

I'd say you loved him a lot more than he loved you. I simply can't agree with that no matter how you put it. But I guess that's just me.

Justify it however you want if it helps you sleep at night but is NOT her choice nor your husbands to be cheated on. Some should grow some balls, admit that what they're doing is wrong ( and it is wrong, there's no denying that)and get the hell out of the relationship.
Having cake & eating it comes to mind.
A short sharp pain of you leaving would be preferable to the pain of having it done over and over and over and over again, i'm quite sure so don't try and kid us that you're staying for your spouses sake!

A physically abusive wife who said sorry it will never happen again and it always did, made my life miserable as well as running up huge debts that financially hamstrung me/us. The third and last time her mother and her kept the bills at her mums house and I was made out to be the villain, by her family. One day, when I was told that I haven't been nice to my wife, I asked my father in law to judge me for the person I am, not what others have said. He said that I had been an uncaring husband. With the MIL and wife in the room, I explained what had gone on, which caused a lot of red faces.....I did cheat on my wife with the last person I expected it to happen with some time later, an affair that was never going to last, I regret to this day, because it's not me. I told my wife, hoping it would absolve me and my contrition would bring us closer, it didn't. She went on a pilgrimage of deceit/cheating to punish me for my mistake. I wished I had had the guts to tell her it was over, before I cheated. We all have our moral compass I don't have a good opinion of myself, let alone other people....cheating wrecks life..end of |

"I've not read all the posts in this thread and I've not commented on other married / cheating threads either as everything I wanted to say had already been said by others.
This thread is slightly different so to answer the OP, Yes I can speak from experience on both sides. I've been cheated on and I've also had an affair with a married man. Wrong I know but it happened.
However, I didn't join a swinging site purposefully looking to cheat and I certainly wouldn't want to boast about it in an open Forum! I just can't work out why anyone would do such a thing There is such a thing as self respect and discretion! "
I have seen a few posts on here where people are cheating and asking advice, I dont really see them as boasting about it though! They get a rough enough time for asking advice, if they were boasting I would hate to think what would happen to them. |

Oh my god. You really genuinely believe that because you've told her it's OK?
You've told her, you KNOW it's hurting her and you still do it? Selfish doesn't even begin to describe this situation.
What a catch she has there!
Having said that, she has to take some responsibility for being walked all over.
*Her*
Exactly !! Its her choice !!
She could leave !
But she would rather have things the way they are than not at all !!
I'm in the same boat ! I could hurt my hubby and leave him ! Or make him talk to me about his short falls and that would also hurt him .... Because I have told him how I'm not happy and need more ! And he won't \ can't change !! So in my eyes that's his choice ! And because of that choice I'm supposed to be unhappy!!? Or discreetly find pleasure somewhere else !!
Justify it however you want if it helps you sleep at night but is NOT her choice nor your husbands to be cheated on. Some should grow some balls, admit that what they're doing is wrong ( and it is wrong, there's no denying that)and get the hell out of the relationship.
Having cake & eating it comes to mind.
A short sharp pain of you leaving would be preferable to the pain of having it done over and over and over and over again, i'm quite sure so don't try and kid us that you're staying for your spouses sake!
*Her*"
I'm not saying its right !! We all know its not right !!!!! But I know my hubby ! And I know he would rather have me here with him ! But thanks for your opinion |

cheating is wrong, simple.
However, if you are in a relationship and you decide that, for whatever reason that's the course of action to take, that's up to you and your conscience.
My main problem is with the guys (and sometimes women too) who do it as a "single".
If you are attached, say so on your profile, so those of us who aren't mind readers can make our decisions with all the facts.

In my vanilla (pre-swinging) life I was unfortunately cheated on multiple times... it made me paranoid that I had "Mug" tattooed on my forehead.
On example was a girl I dated just when I graduated.. basically after a year I found out her evening "gym" sessions was to see some guy (I found out when I stopped by her place she was sharing with female friends, .. I walked in and one of the girls called the OTHER guy's name thinking it was him that just arrived!)
the silly thing was none of her friends told her off, instead told me "not to take it personally",.. "she's been a good girl all her life, he's just her bit of rough". Somehow as if that either made it better, or failing which I had no say in the debate.
Sorry, but cheating is cheating... I don't have to walk a mile in anyone's shoes to know its indefensible, no matter the circumstances.
If the relationship/circumstance one is in is so strong, my advice is to end it BEFORE embarking on anything with anyone else. |

That was horrible for you, and no her friends remarks, well just goes to show their maturity at the time! However my point about walking in someone else's shoes, is that all our experiences are different, and someone earlier said in some cases it is all about cause and affect. I read one story where one woman was being abused by her partner and had tried leaving etc. We all know cheating is wrong, but sometimes I look and hear stories and think do you know what I kind of understand why you did that. Some people are living in terrible situations with their partners and it is an escape, doesnt make it right I know. But the situations they are living in and how they have been treated to get to that point is not right either. Like another poster said earlier it takes 2 to tango! Again my point being, we all have different experiences and the situations we live in are not always that clear cut! |

"No, people go weird for many different reasons. Men go weird sometimes, it doesn't mean that they are hurt. It could be that they have a problem with what you've said or maybe they have a hangup about something.
Amen
Lol, I obviously do have control over it to an extent.
You keep believing that and justifying it to yourself and it will all be fine. You clearly know much more about how women show their displeasure than us women do.
Look!
Believe/justify what?
I haven't claimed to know more about how women feel/think or whatever. I've been honest here, and I've answered from the heart. The things I've said here are true and accurate. I've not been extreme here.
I cannot read feelings accurately without people saying/explaining. Why should i be able to?
If somebody can talk about it, ill comprehend, if someone doesn't tell me, Ill likely not know what they're thinking.
I honestly am not being funny. I'm being honest here. There's actually more to it also, there are reasons why people do the things they do.
I'm not saying that what I do is correct, but I do it and I'm actually struggling to understand this myself.
Wow I go to tesco's and people and their strong opinions wade in again and change what the topic is about! Thankyou hun for your honest contribution. Please don't feel like you have to justify yourself to anyone on this thread. Only you here knows what is going on behind the scenes. It would be really cool if we could keep to topic. It seems most people here have personal experience in one way or the other about cheating and thank you to everyone who is contributing, but please let's try and keep this to a mature discussion with no one feeling like they are being attacked!

not always that easy, what about women who are in abusive relationships? they maybe looking for someone else as a way out, its ok saying man up and tell them but what if maning up gets you a beating?
I stayed with my ex for years because of my kids, everytime I tried to leave him they would cry, I packed and unpacked my bags so many times because I couldn't drag them out the house crying for their daddy, so because I ddnt want to take them away from their dad I put down what I wanted for them, because that's what we do as parents. it wasn't till they was only we split up
A relationship break up isn't about two people its a whole family
Walking away from a relationship isn't always that easy, if only life was all clouds and butterflies like some seem to think it is"

"Cheating is wrong, pure and simple. You can qualify and justify all you want, it's just self delusion.
If you don't want that person and want someone else, man up and tell them.

"Cool thread.
I'm not going to go into depth but I agree with you.
Another misconception is that you do not love a person who you have cheated on. I'm my opinion, that is very wrong.
It is possible to love a person you have cheated on."

Very balanced and well presented thread OP.
Irrespective of your thoughts, I think the problem is that if people post a thread wishing to debate it, it simply turns into a very emotive and difficult subject with many vociferous comments.
Its quite likely there are people on the site who have suffered as a result of "cheating" just the same as there are those who are here for one of many reasons doing it.
The long and short is, if your here to engage in activities outside the boundaries of a relationship, don't expect mass approval from all. Perhaps quietly use the site without advertising it ? After all for those who've had affairs off site, I doubt you used to meet up announcing to strangers around you that you were doing so ?
Do what you will and good luck, but never assume all will agree....no matter what it is you're doing ? |

I think so too. i think most married couples are lusting after other people all the time, is there that much difference. |

so children being a part of an abusive relationship is a good thing??
what are you showing your kids with a relationship based on lies and dishonesty?? they pick up on the atmosphere.. they pick up on the feelings between their parents..
the best thing for kids isnt always stayign together.. a child can have good parents who live apart.. or just one parent.. kids need love and stability and a happy enviroment..
ive never read anything so scary..! |

whatever a cheaters reason is to cheat, they are only doing it for their own selfish reasons. if you make a commitment to someone its about always considering them in every aspect of life.
cheating is selfish end of |

well you know its always easy as a outsider to look down your nose at others and criticise them for not doing things as well as you would
when your in certain situations its not so easy
shoot me i'm a shit mum
im a human being I don't have a heart of stone, when my kids was crying because I was taking them away from their dad it hurt me to know I was coursing them that pain so I put down what I wanted for what they did ad they wanted to stay with their mum and dad so that's what I gave them
im sure you would have handled the situation so much better  |

Thank you, I really appreciate your comments! Yes I agree cheating is a highly emotive subject, so many people have suffered at the hands of cheaters, myself included! It hurts like hell! I realise not everyone is going to agree. We don't live in a black and white world. I don't agree with married people coming on here as singles and playing without there partners knowledge. I choose not to play with married or attached men. Personal choice! I reckon there should be a warning on here to all married people playing away from home, don't post on the forums for advice you will get shot down in flames! I have found this thread very interesting and it has opened my eyes up even further to other peoples lives and situations! |

That's just it. We all have different lives and experiences.
Just remember, if you post in a forum you're effectively asking for feedback so think about it first.
Though replies are only opinions too not final word on anything. |
