Is Cheating Okay If You Are Not Getting What You Need?

Is cheating justified if you are not treated right by your significant other? The answer is not as easy as it sounds. Yes, cheating is frowned upon by the public. Most people would say, “You shouldn’t cheat on your spouse, it’s not right”, and condemn it out of hand. But what if your spouse is abusing you? What if he’s beating you up? Is cheating moral in these cases? What if you and your spouse no longer speak, touch, or connect in any way? Wouldn’t you look for intimacy elsewhere?

In my humble opinion, cheating is usually wrong but it can be justified in certain instances. This is not a black and white issue. There is actually a grey area in between. For example, I will probably give the act of cheating more leeway than normal if your partner is an abusive jerk and you cheat on him/her. Some people may even applaud the person for cheating on such a person. A person whose spouse ignores him may also feel the need to cheat so that he will feel loved, and as a result, avoid falling into depression. And we all know that being depressed makes us do things worse than cheating (suicide is a good example). Read more here - http://bit.ly/1ISrNW4
