I agree cheating is not ideal. HOWEVER, some people cheat because of ongoing abuse in their relationships, or because they're seeking intimacy, friendship, affection, and closeness NOT AVAILABLE TO THEM IN THEIR MARRIAGE. So please stop judging.

I think monogamy is difficult and a choice-not sure if it is biologically normal. But cheating absolutely sucks and cuts to the core of trust, faith, and safety in a committed relationship. No two ways about it. Doesn't mean a long term marriage with kids should automatically collapse, but would put it in an absolutely horrible place and cause a lot of soul searching.

definitely should do a pastebin dump of all 37million members

No it's not murder, but it is abuse.

It is horrible, but it is not abuse. Talk to somebody who is assaulted on a regular basis.

I don't know. I think cheating (at least long term) fits the definition of abuse better than physical assault, IMO. A spouse who has been hit can also end the relationship right away while someone whose been cheated on for 10 years can't leave the relationship until they find out.

I think we are at a tipping point with morality. In the past you would do it because of religion now a days it's because you thought you were anonymous.

cheaters never win this site should be exposed

Do people really use their real names and credit cards? That seems crazy. Why not just use a prepaid credit card and a bogus name and address?

Men are stupid. Do you see the threads on here in which they correspond with their affair partners with their email addresses, the ones their wives know about? the ones they don't even bother logging out of? send sexts on the same cell phones their wives regularly snoop through?

any man or woman with half a brain would set up a new email address and never log into it with their home computer. and buy a prepaid cell phone and keep it hidden. it's not that hard to not get caught unless you're really lazy. or subconsciously WANT to get caught.

The target seems to be the website owners and not the users. The website has been able to remove all of the posted info through the use of copyright violations.

Have you considered moving to the Middle East?

+1 the fact that you would rank cheating as bad as murder and abuse is completely and utterly baffling.

Probably, but for some reason I'm thinking that you don't have a spouse, and you're pretending to be a woman, posting on CL looking for guys!
