[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not the AP's responsibility to keep a marriage together or prevent it from falling apart. That responsibility lies entirely with the married couple.[/quote]

The AP is responsible for their own morality and behavior. You are not completely blameless when you are engaging in a "relationship" that intentionally undermines another and is hurtful to them. Same reason stealing, physically assaulting someone or animals, cheating on taxes, driving over the speed limit, DWI or without a license, is not acceptable socially. Stop being obtuse about why the AP has responsibility and fault in this. [/quote]

It’s not “stealing” if the DH is giving it away. [/quote]

I'm not sure if you're deliberately misinterpreting the PP's comment . . . they weren't saying that cheating IS stealing, but that it's like stealing, cheating on taxes, DWI, etc. . . doing something reckless and/or selfish with a high probability of harming others. Of COURSE the people who do those things have a litany of deflections and excuses. And sure, nobody has to be a good person; it's not a requirement. But some of us like to live by the golden rule knowing that if we're there for others, they'll be there for us when it's our turn to be in need.

Still not equivalent. Those are illegal.

It may be indirectly hurtful (or supporting someone else to be hurtful) but the actual hurt is done by the cheating spouse.

Personally, engaging in scumbag behavior like screwing married men would make me hate myself.[/quote]
