No

Every situation is different. Most people will say there is no reason and it should never be done, and I agree with them...Then when you are faced with No Love from your SO and alot of LIES. Bad decisions become easy to make.

I think leaving a bad situation before cheating is the best way to go ...that's easier said than done.

Nope there is no excuse to cheat.

Sorry, you can't beg for forgiveness and then blaim the other. By doing this, they are not taking ownership. There are many reason to cheat, often it is just the need to be heard, held or listened to... Something we tend to do poorly in a relationship. Does this make cheating right? Of course not, nothing makes it right. Now, what about the past, once a cheater, always a cheater. If he has cheated in the past odds are he will cheat again and again. Good luck.

I feel the blaming is due to guilt they try not to feel so they turn it outward. And no there is never a good reason to cheat

Blaming another person for your actions is immature. It shows a lack of sincerity. Asking for forgiveness is a placation device to get their foot in the door. Be careful. Don't let him get too close until after he is in couples counseling.

There are reasons to get Divorced..no reasons to cheat.

I have my part in the problems that occured in my marriage. I was not the best husband that I could have been. That is clear and undeniable. However, I didn't make her cheat. That was her choice. She felt like she was justified but that is for her to decide and deal with not me. I keep my side of the street clean and she hopefully deals with her side. That being said, I do have anger and blame around her choices, but that is for my head, not for me to give to her unbidden.

I don't think there is a good reason to cheat. Cheating means you don't want to deal with reality and your own problems. Once a cheater always a cheater I don't think is true. I think a few people can realize why they cheated and change that behavior. They have to want to change and not repeat that pattern. However, I think most cheaters repeat the pattern because they don't want to face what is wrong with them or the relationship. They don't want to do the hard work and repair it.
Telling you it was your fault just means they don't want to face reality or the guilt.

There is no excuse for infidelity. I think all cheaters use the excuse that they were driven into another person's arms. I would be hesitant to grant forgiveness to someone that is still rationalizing their despicable behaviour.

2bmyself put it very well. Cheers
PS. There is so much healing on this site. One member posts an issue but many look deep inside to offer guidance, often helping themselves. Kudos

Only hungry men eat in restaurants. They perceive that something is missing from their life and permanent relationship and they want those additional experiences. Probably no fault of the other partner since they could not provide what the hungry man wanted. No excuses needed; they wanted experiences outside of the marriage, they chose to have those experiences. They and their partner now have to face the consequences.
Judgement: weak bastards. Thou shall not judge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it sure feels good.

Almost every relationship I have had ended because of some form of cheating, either involving another woman or porn addiction. I have spent the last yr looking at myself and trying to figure out why this keeps happening to me. It has taken me a long time to realize what I wrote earlier about cheating. I am still working on myself but realize that someone cheating has a little to do with me but a lot to do with them.

Cheating is an excuse, either to end the relationship or to not face reality. The cheater needs to deal with healing themselves first before they can ever have a loving relationship.

Never a reason to cheat, it's a line of BS. Cheaters are selfish and care about no one else.
