+1 yIt's not just the "cheating" itself... It's the broken promises when commit the cheating, the lies told for both the cheating to occur and to cover up the cheating... It's at the least the actions of a selfish person that's putting how they feel in that moment over the damage and hurt they cause to others avid their heart or feelings... So do you think selfish people are bad?

It depends on what actions/traits qualify as "bad" to you. It is completely possible that cheating doesn't make one a bad person. But that would require you to accept that lying to, betraying, disrespecting, humiliating, hurting, and/or toying with another human being are good, or acceptable actions to take in life.
I personally define such actions as "bad". Thus I believe that cheating make one a bad person, because those bad actions are all done by the cheater to their partner. And usually for very shallow reasons.00 Reply
All cheaters are different the cheaters that just cheat for no reason all the time are bad the cheaters that cheat cause of being cheated on are bad but they have a good reason even though 2 wrongs don’t make it right maybe that’s how they get over being cheated on I personally have been in a situation and from experience no matter what cheating is not ok and it doesn’t help cheating even though u were cheated on it just makes it worse

All cheaters ARE Betrayers, and
most cheaters ARE liars. But. . .
All cheaters are NOT common thieves and
All cheaters are NOT killers in the sense of being perpetrators of homicides.

+1 yWhen Jesse Anderson killed his girlfriend/wife outside the (former) Milwaukee, Wisconsin Northridge Mall TGI Friday restaurant back in 1992, did that make him a killer because it was only one person? YES.
However, in the discussion of cheating, this doesn't necessarily stand true. The severity of any incident is determined by how much the relationship or marriage is impacted. Everybody has their own idea about what is bad and what isn't. Is it just the situation that is bad, the person or both? As much as it is true that a wrong can't be made right, since nothing we can say or do can reverse our actions, it is determined by how easily things can be overlooked and put behind you both. Can this person be trusted again?10 Reply
+1 yI feel no. Bad people is first of all subjective the term doesn't apply same for everyone. But see, cheating is first of all a hormonal reaction unless it's through love (if it's love then it's fucked up). And mostly cheating is an implusive decisions. So I don't think cheaters are bad people. Like just because they cheated doesn't mean they're bad, if there are other signs then yes you can say they're bad. Solely on the fact that they cheated? I'd probably say no, you can say they're "bad people". At the end, it's a choice, no one can do anything about that. It's their choice.

+1 yYes they are bad people. Cheating exhibits negative character traits even outside of a relationship let alone in one. It shows both a lack of commitment and dedication to their current partner and, in the event that their relationship was in hot water anyway, the inability to resolve the issue through conversation or other means. In my experience there's always a better way to end or even save a relationship besides cheating. Couple this with the fact that it can also potentially hurt a third party who isn't involved in your relationship and it's just terrible.

+1 yHumans are biologically not a monogamous species. There are only a dozen or so known species that are. This said it is, from a biological perspective, “normal” to cheat. They aren’t bad people - it’s just everything from religion to Disney princess movies that tells us you should be looking for “the one”. The reality is, you can love more than one person, you likely are attracted to more than one person and it’s kinda strange that anyone would sit around and ignore the realities.

+1 yOnly if YOU think they are.
So here's the thing... people cheat for all kinds of reasons, but the main one and most common one, is they think or feel they're missing something in their primary relationship. So while you cannot BLAME the victim of cheating, there is nearly always culpability for failures in that relationship.
And cheating is pretty well split 50-50 by gender.30 Reply - 1K opinions shared on Relationships topic.
+1 yNo.
They can be greedy, obsessive, scared or lonely even, but that alone doesn't make them bad people, They just haven't found someone they are happy with, but because of the traits I just mentioned they are too scared to do the right thing and end things with their current partner first.00 Reply 1.7K opinions shared on Relationships topic. I wouldn't think of it as good/bad people but some people do things that are bad for YOU. And they would happily keep doing it for 50+ years if you let them. You have to have the courage to break the cycle. If you act like a doormat you'll be treated like one. Some people have a good reason to cheat but it's never a good thing to cheat. Better to leave the relationship.

+1 yYes they are with a real life caveat.
a woman I know spent 10 years in an abusive relationship, physical and mental.
She met someone that cared for her and helped her get the courage to escape.
they are both happily married now, as the cheating was used as part of her divorce.
for me trust is a major thing and cheating for me is wrong at some many levels.
however I do believe they can be valid exceptions00 Reply- 5.1K opinions shared on Relationships topic.
m +1 ywe are all bad people, in part only...
cheaters are just more of that, worse in that sense or lack loyalty and consideration for their partners, but that would be different from all the good and great they could do
being bad and doing bad are different things
but also, yes... some are just true pieces of waste00 Reply No one is that good. Are cheaters bad people? Cheating itself is wrong, but it doesn't make you a bad person if it's something you don't enjoy. If you do enjoy, without remorse, that's a psychopatic trait, therefore you can't be good if you enjoy the process of emotionally harming someone.
10 Reply805 opinions shared on Relationships topic. Bad is relative.
Yeah.
Cheating people.
It could be many different reasons why someone cheat.
Many times is it attitude. mostly actually.
Listen little to what the cheater say to begin with.
It can give a lot of clues why.
Sometimes is the cheater brutal honest and understand what is going on and why even if we don't want to believe or listen.
Other thing's is how the relationship really is in the cheaters perspective.00 Reply

I will say this though, once a cheater... always a cheater.

So because they are addicted, they are bad people? You could follow this line of logic to justify almost anything

If they are addicted and know they have a problem then yes they are bad people. Going through wrecking person after person isn't healthy for the people getting cheated on.

So effectively, cheaters are bad people, because what they do leads to the addiction. They'd have to argue pretty hard to say that they didn't know any better.

Since Nobody cares you are really not letting this go. So, I will cut this short. You are right and I am wrong. Cheaters are wonderful people and just because they can't control their human impulses they should be completely excused for all their actions.

@JesseCraft07 Other women try to convince me all women are victim's of oppressive male dominated society yet all laws for many centuries have held only men to account, sometimes even for the actions of females.
The laws of today do not apply to men and women equally either.
A man can be charged with abuse for almost anything while a woman can get away with any form of abuse.
Then there are those who will argue I am wrong, yet can not produce a single occasion where laws have been applied equally or favorably for men.
So who is the oppressed? It is the men without doubt, as they always have been by both a biased society and by biased laws. - +1 y
Wow I didn't think of it like that. I've grown up thinking men are bad and women are treated unfairly. Geez I didn't know it was that bad for men

@JesseCraft07 Why would you even think such a thing? I am a woman raised by truly strong women who knew how to be women and not man hating whores.

@JesseCraft07 My grandmothers told me that feminism was always a Bolshevik plot to destroy our natural cultures and the strength of our people by destroying love and all that it is.
Without love, there is no passion and no society will survive without it.
Just as without love there is no hate and without hate there is no love, hate is needed to defend your society! Hate is the passion of love. - +1 y
