I think the main responsibility lies on the married person cheating. Definitely both are cheating but it is the married spouse responsibility to protect his marriage. Yes the lady having the affair is at fault, but only because the guy is failing his marriage and letting her. Or vice cersa if it was the lady who is cheating. Either way it is sickening.
Although I condone anyone cheating some of them aren't looking to cheat. That's the last thing they ever planned. Say a guy is just friends with a lady at the office. They see each other everyday, go to lunch etc....and really get along. Before you know it they are confiding in each other, really gelling. They never intend to cross the line, but somehow they fall for each other. Perhaps stress at home, or just not any understanding from spouse at home, no excuse but still. Whatever the cause sometimes these feelings do develop but I disagree that they were not aware. When you realize you have crossed the safety zone, you have to mentally step back or away. You are just a weak individual if you use that as excuse & let yourself go.
Very true! Affairs don't just happen overnight. You don't just wake up in the morning and say, "Today, I am going to start an affair". You see it coming from a mile away and you are a weak individual if you don't turn around and run in the opposite direction.
Marriage takes a lot of work. To turn your back on resolving your issues with your spouse and to then seek comfort from someone else or start an affair is selfish, immoral, wreckless and damaging to the other spouse and children if there are any.
Both parties who knowingly take part in an affair are as guilty as the other. Regardless if they themselves are married or not and the other person is or isnt. It takes two to have an affair so you're both as equally guilty as the other. There is never an excuse or good enough reason to have an affair. if you no longer love someone then you need to tell them straight out. No point in having the affair and then when it all comes out admitting it. By this time the damage is already done. Hearts are broken, trust is lost and childrens lives are forever changed.
In my opinion Women have affairs because their Husband never pays them enough attention, doesn't appreciate her, takes her for granted, etc etc..
Men haeve affairs to feed their ego's and satisy their loins.. In both cases it is wrong and not justifiable reasons to have an affair.
There's no point in saying women start most affairs, or men do.. there is only one type of person (regardless of sex) that start affairs.. and that is a person who lacks morals, honesty and deceny.
