[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cheaters - in marriage, or other areas of life, are not people who care about others in general. They lack empathy, so of course they don't care about how it affects kids.

If "sex" is the issue then be a grownup and ask for an open marriage or get a divorce. Cheating is the juvenile path of cowards. [/quote]

This is ridiculous, yet totally emblematic of black and white judgement, thinking and advice on DCUM.  Lots of people cheat at some point in their lives.... LOTS.  You're saying they don't care about their kids, families, spouses?  That's just absurd on its face.

One of the reasons for "cheating" is that the cheater DOES care about their family.  They care about their kids and they care about their spouse, but they're maybe not getting their needs met within the relationship.

Then divorce you say?  Go back to why they are cheating in the place instead of divorcing.  They don't want to throw the proverbial baby out with the bathwater.  They may love and care about their families and don't want to get divorced or break up their family unit.

Then don't get married, you say?  Marriages evolve, people evolve and change.  Affection and intimacy wane and die, or someone works too much, or one partner stops wanting to have sex or whatever...  You can script life in a logical flowchart as to how it SHOULD work, but it falls apart when you add people and real life.

Stop being so judgmental.  You don't know what goes on in the hearts of the 50% of the population that cheats at some point.  [/quote]
