[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cheating is a form of emotional abuse.  It isn't a mistake,  it isn't a victimless crime,  and it isn't harmless.   It is a deliberate decision by one person in a relationship to repeatedly lie,  manipulate,  and gaslight their partner so they can have sex outside the marriage. It takes serious time, effort,  and energy to orchestrate that kind of deception, and it says a lot about the character of anyone willing to do it.

People who say "mind your own business" or "you don't K ow what's going on in another person's marriage, "  are operating under an extremely dated and dysfunctional moral code.  People said the same things about physical abuse in a marriage. Maybe she nagged him too much,  maybe she egged him on...  None of our business.

Nope.  Every adult is responsible for their own decisions.  No one made her have an affair.  Your friend is a selfish, inconsiderate,  immoral person who cares more about her short term sexual satisfaction than the person she willingly commited herself to through marriage.

I'm not saying you can't he friends with her...  But don't fool yourself about who she is.

Exactly.

Why would you want to be friends with someone who is so selfish that they have an affair, and so deceitful that they lie repeatedly to their partner? That's someone that I cannot respect. And what is friendship without respect?[/quote]
