Would you ever cheat if your partner was emotionally abusing you but a part of you had hope still and didn’t wanna leave completely yet?

He or she calls you names, treats you terribly, makes you cry, etc.

Why would you even want to stay with a person like that? They won't change, because they'll never see what is wrong with them. You can't change people, and he will more than likely get worse if you stay. If he truly wanted to change, he'd seek professional help.

Don't cheat because that's a cowards way out. Dump the abuser and move on with someone else who is better.

I definitely agree. What if the victim is very scared though of him abusing her in a physical way or somehow threatening her ego? But she needs more. She hates to inside her heart but she’s lost and confused. She’s doesn’t wanna sleep with anyone of course not but she needs emotional comfort and care that she is missing but in other aspects she loves him. She is in a whirlwind but she cares too much to let go completely even though people around her know it’s best.

He cannot love you. Those who love you cannot do this to someone they care about. He's a manipulative piece of shit.

You will learn to love again once you leave. Tell people close to you that you're afraid of him doing something so they can protect you, and tell the police that you're worried that he may cause danger towards you.

Loving him or not, you need to cut all ties before he starts beating you up next.

No, that would make me a feeble minded little pansy lol. If I was being emotionally abused, I'd leave as soon as I realized that was what was happening. Not willing to jeopardize my morals and integrity because someone was being mean to me.

If I'm thinking of cheating then I'm not happy. If I wanna stay, issues need to be resolved, but if they are not, then I need to go. No point in staying just to cheat.
