What's wrong with cheating?

I overheard a conversation between two students at school and the guy kept on asking the girl why people consider cheating to be so wrong. I was disgusted! :disgust:

For a moment I thought how people could be so unethical at times, but then again some people just can’t resist temptation. Pathetic!

Of course it depends what’s cheating to you and your partner. Do white lies count? I think they do. Intentionally deceiving and distorting the truth so your partner doesn’t get the true picture is cheating, let alone having sex. Do some people really not feel the guilt? Have some of us become so self-concieted and pro freedom that we don’t care if it hurts our relationship?

May be that’s why we are having more and more people favoring open relationships…

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

if there is nothing wrong in putting ears to others' conversations there cud not be much wrong with cheating either....

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

cheating is so wrong...whats the use of a relationship? Why even bother and going through the trouble of emotions. Sometimes ppl are just so sick i swear...

Re: What’s wrong with cheating?

What part of “overheard” do you not understand? :rolleyes: Besides, it’s less hurtful than telling your wifey twisted stories.

Re: What’s wrong with cheating?

Unfortunately, yes…that’s pretty sickening. Aside from sleeping around, a perfect long-term relationship will keep them content.

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

well.....i guess its as sick as it good get...for any prick!!

if u ppl are talkin abt the western culture...then relationships are to be restected by either parties.....
i mean if u r looking to change girls/guys...let the other know so that he/she makes up his/her mind whether or not there shud b a relation...or not to get too excited....

dont commit!!!!...
as far as it is seen in an islamic perspective....there is no such concept of relationship.....just that if u like someone , n u let her/him know...then u r commiting.....so if u r doing that....then dont try to prove urself as a certified moron by going after other girls/guys....

simple.....common sense....a thing which is not common.....

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

Wait a minute! Cheating is a perfectly good and useful ligit word to describe 'wrong doings'
Then why would you use it for sexual relationships only, that are premeditated sex with consent any ways, certainly NOT MARRIAGES. !!

Its legal but morally WRONG in most of the faiths/religions worldwide.

If you are married and cheating or being cheated upon ? Then its illegal and punishable in the court of law under adultry laws,,,and what not,,,Its a crime just like any other crime. What to disgust ?

Common partners cheating on each other ? who cares ,, Just change it and get over it,,,,

Re: What’s wrong with cheating?

^ :rolleyes:

You have to give the guy points for letting his point of view be known.

I could have been cheating with other people. Or it could have been a lighthearted conversation where the guy is teasing the girl that way. Or they could have been talking about final exams. Or they could have been talking about card games.

When you overhear snippets of conversation it is not a good idea to judge people or their conversations until you know what they were talking about.

Aside from that, cheating is deception and lying.

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

Some times, for a husband cheating on his wife is allowed, when he is on a long trip and if it is done under contract. It is called mutah. Please don’t shoot the messenger. I am just copying what I read in religion.

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

I was wondering, does the current wife need to give her consent to the Mutah in order for it to be valid? Then it wouldn't be, I guess. Can't be lying if all know about it.

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

Do you really think that wife would give her consent for mutah?

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

I don't know anyone who would, I was wondering if it was a condition?

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

Is mutah even allowed for married people?

Re: What’s wrong with cheating?

Mut ask such stuff Bibiji.

Cheating is bad. One should do everything in the open. And let Allah :swt: be the judge.

:jhanda:

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

I play poker but I dont cheat.

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

cheating is bad, but if a couple agrees on open marriage or open relationship, there is nothing wrong.

Important pint is not violating each other's trust, and make ur intentions known to all, before engaging in some 'transactions'

Thank you! your so kind and generous :smiley: lekin aik anch ki kami hai baqi,

Re: What's wrong with cheating?

Raindance - The comment about the guy was not directed towards you, sorry to burst that bubble, it was the guy in the story talking about cheating

Re: What’s wrong with cheating?

Everything about the thought is disgusting!

It’s not like any other crime! Nothing is more painful than coming to know what your partner has been doing behind your back, that’s if you are not a cheater yourself. :rolleyes:

Why give someone hopes when eventually you are going to cheat on him/her?

Re: What’s wrong with cheating?

Yeah, he sure had an immense amount of guts to make such a bold comment.

Minah_ I know the guy was not talking about exams or anything related to school. If that were the only comment I heard, I would never come here just to hypercritize what could be a mere discussion about anything.
